EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Have you ever cut your calories hard, lost weight, eased up even slightly - and watched it all come back?

You probably blamed yourself. Most women do.

But that pattern is not a willpower failure.

It is a physiological survival response that your body has been refining for hundreds of thousands of years. And once you understand it, everything changes.

In this episode Kerryn explains exactly what happens inside the body when you restrict too severely - the adaptive mechanisms, the hormonal shifts, the famine response - and what to do instead to create weight loss that actually lasts.

In this episode:

• Why the restrict-rebound cycle is a survival mechanism, not a personal failing
• The savings account metaphor that makes it all click
• The science: adaptive thermogenesis, leptin, ghrelin, and set point theory — explained simply
• 3 client examples of restriction, struggle, then success with a different strategy
• The calorie density approach: working with your body, not against it
• Key takeaways and practical next steps
