313. How Long Is It Safe To Stay In A Fat Loss Cut? (Mini Cut Series)

Jul 29, 2025

Welcome to the Mini Cut Series!

We’re back with Part 2 in today’s episode to answer a question I get all the time: How long is it actually safe to stay in a fat loss cut or calorie deficit and are you doing more harm than good by pushing it too far? 

If you’re confused by all the conflicting advice and wondering if you need to schedule breaks or just power through, this mini-episode is your must-listen.

I’ll break down what really happens to your metabolism in a cut, the science and strategy behind mini cuts versus longer fat loss phases, and the signs that it’s time to give your body and your mindset a break. You’ll get my practical, flexible approach to sustainable fat loss so you can avoid burnout, get results, and enjoy the process.

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to gauge if your cut is working or if it’s time to switch it up.
