Transitioning Activity Levels
A significant shift from an active job to a more sedentary lifestyle can drastically affect caloric needs.

What can I do to achieve my weight loss goals?
I am currently running MAPS Anabolic, hitting 8,000-10,000 steps per day, and "inconsistently" tracking my calories and macros, averaging about 2,400 calories per day. My daily step goal used to average around 17,000-20,000, and I maintained a weight of around 205-210 lbs while teaching a high volume of classes. Now, I am struggling to drop below 246 lbs and 30+% body fat. I feel like I’m doing everything right in terms of exercise but am having difficulty getting the fat off my body without tracking for the rest of my life or following a fad diet. What can I do to achieve my weight loss goals?
When starting a cut from 3500 to 2800 calories, should I incrementally increase steps every week from 10,000 by 1000, or just once or twice?
