EP111: How Renee improved her metabolism, thyroid & body composition with patience and planning

Can you relate to eating 1,200 – 1,400 calories and NOT seeing results? If so, please know that you are not alone. We see it often with the women who come to us for nutrition coaching. Eating below your energy needs is so common among women (thanks, diet culture) and oftentimes it prevents them from getting the results they want. In fact, chronically under-eating can lead to hormone imbalance, metabolism issues, and thyroid problems, all of which can actually cause weight gain. When Renee came to me, she was under-eating and struggling to change her body composition. She was also dealing with thyroid issues and awful periods. “I remember I was eating 1,200 calories…1,200 to 1,400 calories was my jam, and I thought I was doing everything right, but my hormones were jacked up.” Changing your physique, metabolism, and overall health takes time, and Renee was patient with the process. We worked together for an entire year, but as you'll hear in this episode, directly from Renee, it was worth it and even 'life-changing' with regard to how she now approaches her health and physique goals. Responsibly changing your body composition takes time and patience, and the biggest mistake I see women make when trying to lose weight is embarking on diet after diet, which stresses out the body, lowers your metabolism, and leads to frustration. Instead of working against your metabolism and doing further damage to your health (or, worse, gaining more weight), working with a coach (like me!) and committing to the process can finally get you the sustainable results you want once and for all!
