Sustainable Weight Loss
Adam illustrates the difference between two approaches to weight loss through the examples of Susie A and Susie B. While Susie A sees quick results by drastically cutting calories, she is likely to hit a plateau and struggle later. In contrast, Susie B focuses on increasing her caloric intake and strength training, setting herself up for long-term success despite not seeing immediate weight loss. This highlights the importance of sustainable practices over short-term gains.In this clip

I'm considering an 800-calorie diet like David Goggins. Currently, I am at 1400 calories, but after losing my first 30 lbs, I wasn't seeing any more progress, so I went down to a 1200-calorie diet and maintained it for about 6 months, doing 45 minutes of Burn Boot Camp 5 days per week. However, there was no weight loss on the scale at all—just fluctuations of ±6 lbs from day to day. I've kept the 30 lbs off for a little over a year, but I'm not moving and have not been for the past 6 months. I have PCOS, or what health professionals refer to as a form of PCOS, so I have had no luck losing weight. I was hoping to find insight or recommendations to step it up.

Does Adam Schafer advocate for taking in a slight surplus, building muscle, and then increasing calories again when weight levels out or starts going down in the episode 'Change HOW You Look With HOW You Work Out | Mind Pump 2396' and the clip 'Reverse Dieting Insights'?
