Your pattern: Metabolic Adaptation
Your answers suggest metabolic adaptation — repeated dieting has reshaped how your body responds to food and exercise. The same strategies that used to work now produce diminishing returns.
01 · Framework
What's happening
After repeated calorie restriction, the body downregulates resting metabolic rate, thyroid output, and NEAT (non-exercise activity). The result: maintenance becomes harder, deficits become punitive.
02 · Framework
What the research suggests
Diet breaks and refeeds, paired with increased protein and resistance training, help restore metabolic rate. Rebuilding muscle mass is the most durable lever.
