Halfway through my 8-week cut and I have to be brutally honest with my results so far. As a registered dietitian, I'm telling you exactly when to cut calories deeper — and when staying the course is the smarter move. The 90% adherence rule explained, plus how I actually adjust macros when results stall.
In this Week 4 check-in:
✔ Why I'm NOT lowering my calories (yet)
✔ The 90% adherence rule — how to know if your plan is actually working
✔ When to adjust macros (and how much: 5-10% rule)
✔ Why protein should never come down in a deficit
✔ Pulling from carbs vs fats — what works faster
✔ How to read your weigh-ins without getting emotional
✔ Why race day, massages, and period weeks throw off the scale
Hope to see some of you in Houston on MAY 30th at the Event!
