## Resource

In this episode, we’re talking about the problem with barely eating. If you’ve ever felt the urge to keep cutting calories lower and lower just to see the scale move, this conversation is for you. We’ll talk about why undereating can actually stall your progress, how stress and muscle loss play a role in midlife, and the signs your body may be under-fueled. You’ll learn what a moderate calorie deficit really looks like, why protein and strength training matter so much after 40, and how panic and urgency often drive extreme dieting.
