Ep.26 - I was Vegetarian?! Fad Diets, Why Under Eating is Ruining Your Metabolism, & Reverse Dieting

MacroHabits Podcast

Show Notes

We’re getting into my past experiences with chronic dieting, unhealthy eating behaviors, how under-eating completely backfired on my body, and the biggest mistakes I see women making when trying to lose fat. If you feel like you’re doing “everything right” but not seeing results, this episode will connect the dots. I cover how under-eating slows your metabolism (and what that actually means), the subtle signs your body is under-fueled, what actually helped me see real body recomposition results, and how to reverse diet & repair your metabolism. If you’re stuck, plateaued, or constantly starting over… this is for you. ♥️

TGIF beauties! I love a good friday catch up! Today’s solo episode is a little bit of everything. We’re getting into some of my recent gym & airport stories, body image struggles, nutrition mistakes, dating, relationships & more We’re also having a much needed conversation about why eating less and exercising more isn’t always the answer, how your last 10–20 meals can tell you more about your progress than one single day of eating, and navigating body dysmorphia even when you’re actively working on loving your body. PLUS, I’m diving into some juicy story submissions! Grab your coffee, go on a walk, and let’s catch up! XOXO
