How Undereating Wrecks Your Metabolism in Your 50s

from Mastering Menopause · host Kathy Cote

This episode breaks down how undereating is quietly wrecking the metabolism of women in their 50s. I’m sharing the real story of a woman named Carol, who came to me stuck, frustrated, and convinced her menopause belly was permanent.Carol was living on 1,000 to 1,200 calories a day, cutting carbs, avoiding foods she loved, and pushing through exhaustion because she thought that was the only way to lose weight. Instead, her metabolism downshifted, her energy crashed, her sleep worsened, her belly grew, and nothing she tried moved the scale.In this episode, I walk through exactly why this happens, the myths that keep women stuck, and how to actually repair a metabolism that’s been suppressed from years of undereating. You’ll learn the signs your metabolism needs help, why carbs are essential for women in menopause, and how a reverse diet can completely change the way your body responds to fat loss.If you see yourself in Carol’s story, this episode will help you understand what’s going on inside your body and what to do next.And if you want to learn how we reverse diet our clients out of this situation then join me for my Festive AF Masterclass.
