135 – What Actually Happens in Your First Week of a Calorie Deficit

Most people start a calorie deficit expecting fat to fall off by the end of the week.
But that’s not how it works.

In this episode, I break down exactly what’s going on in your body during those first 7 days — and why understanding this can stop you from quitting before it even begins.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Why the scales drop quickly at first (and why it’s not fat loss)

  • What “Last Supper” eating does to your progress

  • The difference between water, glycogen, digestive weight, and fat

  • Why you might feel rough in the first few days — or surprisingly good

  • How your energy and hunger can change rapidly

  • What to expect emotionally during Week 1 (and how to stay focused)

If you’ve ever wondered why weight loss feels confusing… this one will explain everything.
