## Resource

Lindsay explains that not everyone who wants fat loss is currently in the physical, mental, and behavioral position to diet, and that maintenance is often a necessary, harder step than another calorie deficit. She describes how she typically starts clients at maintenance to build routines, reduce restrictive mindsets, collect better data, improve performance, and increase confidence with food before an aggressive cut, sharing a client’s feedback that “true maintenance” made later fat loss easier.
