Behind the Mirror Gap
What’s actually happening?
Your effort is real. These common patterns can make it harder to see what is helping and what needs to change.
02 / Fuel
More rules. Less flexibility.
When your eating plan only works on a perfect day, weekends and busy weeks can turn into a cycle of restriction and restarting.
First thing to reviewCan your food habits support training and fit your actual life?
03 / Recovery
Same demands. Less recovery.
Sleep, stress, and available time change. Keeping the same training demands through every busy week can make consistency harder.
