So many women STILL believe that eating somewhere between 1,200 and 1,400 calories a day is the ideal number that “should” be sustained for weight loss, despite there being NO scientific literature showing that’s the case. Not one study. And....although they're eating the minimum, they aren't seeing ANY changes anymore. In fact, that's about the minimum about your body needs to simply exist and carry out its processes, and not actually move. . To the health and fitness “experts” who continue to perpetuate this myth: Please go home. You're DRUNK. 👉🏾Continuing to follow their advice can lead to serious nutrient deficiencies, thyroid and adrenal issues, and mental and emotional stress.....unless it's WORKING for you....(you feel great, losing weight, etc), then, disregard this ENTIRE post! . Long-term energy deficits are seen by the body as a stressor, and as a result, the body adapts by slowing down your metabolism, increasing your desire for food in the brain, and holding on to any ounce of food you eat..meaning...you store what's not needed. Your body wants to do everything it can to keep you ALIVE. ⚠️ A healthy body is fed, full of nutrients, and at a weight that is right for YOUR body. . By feeding your body what it needs (ESPECIALLY when working out and pursuing fitness goals), and reducing the overall stress your body is exposed to, you allow your body to be in balance. The majority of women need at a minimum.....1800 to 2000+ depending on your current weight and activity. Fact: When your body is fed, it operates appropriately and allows you to be capable of all the things you want to look and feel like. . And 1,400 calories? Well, if you’re three years old, that’s works great. P.S. Keep telling yourself and me..."but that's too much food" and then consider the alternative....believe and try something different or continue complaining about the excess fat you're lugging around. .
