You’re trying to lose fat or build muscle…
but your body thinks you’re being chased by a bear.
So it says:
Alright sis, we’ll just…
❌ slow metabolism
❌ hold onto fat
❌ burn muscle - read that again… burn muscle. Not build it.
Meanwhile you’re over here:
“I’m eating clean though!!”
But tough love, sis… if a toddler eats more than you, we’ve got a problem. A big one.
Not eating enough doesn’t make you disciplined. So stop it.
It makes your body stressed, stubborn, and real good at NOT changing.
Here’s what actually happens when you underfuel:
→ Your workouts suck (low energy = low output)
→ Your recovery tanks (hello abnormal soreness + burnout)
→ Your hormones start playing games (especially in peri + menopause 👀)
→ Your body holds onto fat like it’s a limited edition item
And the kicker?
You’re working HARD… and getting nowhere!
Trust me, it's frustrating for both of us - because I am desperately rooting for you to get to those goals!
Fat loss and muscle building BOTH require fuel.
You don’t get a toned, strong, energized body from crumbs and coffee.
You get it from:
✔ enough protein
✔ enough carbs (yes, I said it)
✔ enough calories to actually support your life AND your training
Eat like the woman you’re trying to become…
not like someone preparing for a food shortage.
TL;DR:
Under-eating = stress response → metabolic slowdown → poor performance → fat retention
Fueling properly = energy → better training → muscle retention → fat loss
If you feel stuck, it might not be your workouts… it might be your plate.
