You can’t out-exercise under-eating. 🚨
Mel talks the biggest mistakes she sees women making - eating less and exercising more in an attempt to change their body.
But constantly under-fuelling while pushing your body harder can leave you exhausted, struggling with recovery, feeling hungrier, and potentially working against your body rather than supporting it.
Your body needs enough energy, protein, nutrients and recovery to build muscle, support hormones, regulate metabolism and keep your systems functioning properly.
And if you live with lipoedema, the answer isn’t simply “exercise more and eat less.” Lipoedema is complex, and your approach should focus on supporting your body, not punishing it.
