22. Could your slow metabolism be holding you back from sustainable weight loss?
Metabolic down regulation was one of the biggest reasons why I wasn’t seeing any improvements in my body for ages! And it didn't matter how much exercise I was doing, how little (carbs) I ate, or how many calories I was burning during my workouts, I just couldn't get sustainable results.
If you can't stop thinking about food 24/7, you're feeling tired and lack energy in the afternoons, you're bloated at least 3 times a week, and you're plateaued with your weight loss/toning, then this episode is for you.
This episode walks you through how to know if your metabolism has actually slowed down to match how much you are eating, and why this is actually holding you back from seeing improvements in the mirror.
We also go over what low energy availability is, how to know if you're in it, the risks, and why it should be avoided at all costs, and also exactly how you can UP regulate your metabolism again, so that you can eat more, and then create a SUSTAINABLE calorie deficit at roughly around 1700 calories a day (dependent on the person)
