Everything you’ve been told about your metabolism is wrong.
Or maybe put more accurately, I should say… is misleading.
Your metabolism is what determines whether you burn or store body fat. So it’s important to send the proper signals to your body if you want to burn more and store less fat.
However, there are a lot of things that disrupt those signals. And this is where the misleading information can cause things to go haywire.
Most of the time, women, in particular, are told to eat less to send a fat burning signal.
And most of the time, women end up struggling to lose stubborn fat because that information is incredibly misleading.
It ignores the basic function of your metabolism, which is survival.
The past few months I’ve been under A LOT of stress and I’ve been eating about 500kcal less than I usually do, but I haven’t been losing any weight.
I’m also not sleeping enough, overly stressed with work, and was exercising more than I needed to.
If you’re overloading your metabolism with stress via restrictive dieting, excessive exercising, and lack of sleep, your fat burning signal gets weak. Your body fights for survival and you make fat loss increasingly more difficult.
This is especially true as we continue down that path of eating less and moving more to try and see the scale drop.
I tried to decrease my calories by another couple hundred to get the scale to budge. I was more stressed than ever, my sleep was still crappy, and the scale still wasn’t moving.
Needless to say, I bumped up my calories to a more sustainable range, decreased my training, and have been focusing on improving my sleep quality and what I can control 🙂
There’s often this very real fear of eating more and seeing the scale go up which I have experienced countless times.
But let’s consider the options…
Option 1: keep eating like a bird and feel like you’re always spinning your wheels.
Option 2: actually fuel your body appropriately so you can properly recover and see your body change in ways you never imagined possible.
Will the scale go up? Maybe. But it’ll be very short-lived. Unfortunately, most people freak out when they see it go up a couple of points and then respond by cutting calories again.
Hence why a lot of individuals are stuck in fat loss purgatory.
They spend years and decades mentally dieting while not actually making physical progress.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
You have options. You have a real solution that works every single time.
The only thing that will stop you is you. And I mean that from the perspective of convincing yourself that it’s not working or freaking out if the scale goes up and then reverting back to your old ways.
Real change requires real change. You can’t kinda sorta change your way to the best version of yourself.
You have to lean in and do things differently.
If you want the exact blueprint on how to reach your fat loss sustainably and in a way that allows you to have total food freedom so you don’t have to restrict yourself…
