E. 84 3 Types of People Who Should Stop Dieting Immediately

In this solo episode, I walk you through the three kinds of people who should strongly consider stopping their diet—and why doing so could drastically improve your physique, hormonal health, and overall quality of life.I share real experiences from my own journey and client transformations where conditioning became a crutch, not a solution, and where adherence and lifestyle realities need to be factored into the strategy. I also tackle the dangers of staying too lean for too long, especially for women in prep or post-show.Whether you’re a competitor chasing glute tie-ins, someone struggling with consistency, or simply staying lean to your detriment—this episode is a call to reassess, reset, and reframe what true long-term progress really looks like.Timestamps:- [00:00 – 01:31] – Intro: Who this episode is for and why it matters- [01:31 – 04:07] – Person #1: Chasing tie-ins without enough muscle- [04:07 – 06:46] – Why over-dieting can lead to poor stage placement- [06:46 – 08:50] – How to know when it’s time to commit to a build- [08:50 – 10:33] – Recomp vs mild surplus: what actually works long term- [10:33 – 11:13] – You can’t build muscle in a deficit (the truth)- [11:13 – 16:13] – Person #2: Struggling with adherence & weekend failures- [16:13 – 17:36] – Post-show honesty & how to reset expectations- [17:36 – 20:30] – Are you dieting too cautiously to see results?- [20:30 – 23:20] – Person #3: Staying lean year-round & the risks- [23:20 – 26:07] – Signs that you’re too lean (hormones, strength, mood)- [26:07 – 27:44] – How to transition out of a prep or aggressive diet- [27:44 – 30:35] – Full recap: the 3 people who should hit pause on dieting- [30:35 – 32:29] – FAQ #1: If I only fail on weekends, should I still stop- [32:29 – 34:58] – FAQ #2: How do I know if staying lean is harming me?Links & Resources: https://coryfit.com/Coaching: Let's Chat⁠https://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/15minConsults: Book a Call⁠https://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/one-time-consultationFor more content, follow along:⁠Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/cory_fit/Patreon⁠: https://patreon.com/CoryFit?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
