One of the biggest lies women have been sold is that they need to constantly eat less to look better, feel better or see progress. If you’ve ever cut your calories, skipped meals or felt proud of being “so good” by eating next to nothing all day only to crash later into a binge you are not alone. Most of the women I coach come to me feeling frustrated because they’ve been doing everything right at least according to the diet culture rulebook and yet they’re stuck. Exhausted. Stressed. Nowhere closer to their goals.
The truth is under-eating is NOT a strategy, it’s just added stress. When your body feels unsafe it doesn’t care how many squats you do or how clean your meals are. It’s going to hold onto everything it can and progress comes to a screeching halt. In my coaching, we flip the script. I help my clients learn how to properly fuel their bodies not just to survive but to thrive.
When you start eating enough, your energy skyrockets. Your mood improves. Your performance in the gym hits new levels. And yes, sometimes our body starts to change too, but from a place of nourishment and strength, not starvation and punishment. You deserve more than just shrinking to feel proud of yourself. It’s time to break the cycle. Eating more might just be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
