In this Mini Micropedia, Mikki unpacks why holiday weight gain (often ~0.45–1.0 kg) tends to stick around and which habits most often tip us off track—overcommitting, grazing instead of meals, early “holiday mode,” and a bit too much booze.

Calorie cycling isn’t a trick—it’s stress management for your metabolism. In this Mini Micropedia, Mikki explains how sustained restriction can drive adaptive thermogenesis: leptin falls, ghrelin rises, thyroid output dips, NEAT declines, and fat loss stalls. Then she lays out practical cycling options—from simple weekday–weekend shifts to planned carb refeeds, diet breaks, and PSMF days—so you can periodise your intake around training and real life without blowing your deficit.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have become a cultural phenomenon, transforming appetite regulation and weight loss like nothing before. But with their rise comes a flood of imitators, from flashy “GLP-1 patches” to supplements like Calocurb, all promising the same results without the needles or prescriptions. In this episode, I break down what GLP-1 actually is, how these drugs work, and why they’re so effective—not just for weight but also for cardiovascular outcomes. Then
