Calories Don’t Tell The Full Story, Your Body Type, Hormones, and Habits Matter More
Founder Message from Aaron McAllister
For years we’ve been told that weight loss is simple, just eat less and move more. Calories in vs. calories out, right?
But if you’ve been trying to “do everything right” and the scale still won’t budge… or you’re constantly exhausted… or your body just doesn’t feel like yours anymore, I want you to hear this from me:
It’s not your fault.
And no, you’re not broken.
What the Old Model Doesn’t Tell You
When I first started working with women, especially busy mums, I noticed a pattern. They weren’t lacking willpower or discipline. They were showing up for their workouts, cutting back on snacks, and still not seeing the results they deserved.
Why? Because your body isn’t a math equation, it’s a system .
Hormones, stress, sleep, inflammation, gut health, even mindset all of these impact how your body holds onto weight, how it burns energy, and how it feels day to day. And none of those are fixed by just slashing calories.
For example, high cortisol (your stress hormone) can lead to stubborn belly fat and water retention, even if you’re in a calorie deficit. Undereating can actually slow your metabolism. And working out too hard without proper recovery can leave you more depleted, not stronger.
This is where the standard “eat less, move more” advice completely misses the mark.
So What Actually Works?
What I’ve found time and time again is that the most powerful transformations happen when women stop punishing themselves into results and start supporting their bodies instead.
That’s exactly why I created the Transform, It’s not a quick fix, It’s not a restrictive meal plan. And it’s definitely not about chasing a number on the scale.
Transform is about:
Smart, supportive training that fits into real life
Nutrition guidance that balances hormones and fuels your energy
Mindset tools to help you shift from self-criticism to self-trust
Community so you don’t have to do it alone
It’s a system that helps your body feel safe again, so it can let go of what it’s been holding onto.
If you’re frustrated, tired, or feeling like nothing is working, I hope this gives you permission to stop blaming yourself.
There’s a better way to approach your health, and it starts with tuning in, not tightening up.
You don’t have to burn out to change your body, you just have to support it in the right way and I’d love to show you how!
