This will fix the whole thing. That’s not to say it’s easy, or even a static thing. My experience has been slow cycles.
We can only take calorie restriction for so long the same way we can only push so long on hard workouts before something gives out. We get sick, injured, or weaker. Cycling restriction with times of higher intake I feel have helped me recharge and go again. Build muscle, then lose fat. Repeat.
This will manifest in frustrations too. Irritability. That’s been my guide along with aches and pains or slow recoveries. Eat more. Sleep more. Get sugar and cortisol out of your diet.
There’s also arcs of cravings or appetites. Trying to make good choices over the long term. Including indulging. Listening to these signals from my body while trying to keep the macros right. Cooking and flavor is fun!
