Calories are just one input. What actually determines how your body feels, responds, and recovers is how stable your internal systems are.
When blood sugar is constantly spiking and crashing, the body prioritizes survival over efficiency. That’s when cravings get louder, energy becomes unpredictable, and stress hormones stay elevated, regardless of how “clean” or low-calorie things look on paper.
Stability makes everything easier. And it’s why supporting blood sugar and stress response matters more than chasing extremes.
Progress sticks when the system is supported, not forced.
