I’m just going to say that again:
🔈CHRONICALLY UNDER-EATING IS NOT THE ANSWER.
If your body is resistant to weight loss, there’s a reason, and whatever the reason, your body’s response is, “It’s not safe to lose weight.”
If you’ve been around here long enough, you’ll know my favorite question is “𝐖𝐇𝐘?”
Too often we assume our bodies aren’t doing x because of y, but most of the time those “y”s are the consequences of some deeper dysfunction.
We get caught up on fixing 𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴 when we must look to the 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
What do I mean?
“I’m overweight and can’t loose any fat. I keep eating less but the scale doesn’t budge. I exercise more (and eat less) and still no change. It must be because of my hormones.”
🚨𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 “𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦”.
We must look (𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫) to the foundational functions and processes that affect hormone health - digestion, hydration stress, sleep, movement, and (the biggest factor) DIET.
✧
Never underestimate the innate wisdom of the body - no part of it works in isolation. It’s so easy for us to get hung up on one aspect of our health, but there’s a much larger picture we need to be looking at - clients, patients, practitioners and healthcare providers alike.
This is called a 𝒽𝑜𝓁𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒸 𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓈 and it’s the one that 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓀𝓈. It’s the one that reflects the natural and perfect design of the body.
✧
The good news is that you don’t have to have it all figured out. If you have concerns that aren’t getting better no matter what you do, reach out to a practitioner who can help. Having someone to support you is the best way to succeed.
