I’m Scared I’ll Keep Gaining Weight If I Eat More…
from Imi's Insight Podcast Hosted by Imi
One of the biggest fears when increasing your food intake is: “What if I just keep gaining weight forever?” In this episode, we unpack metabolic adaptation, how restriction and low energy availability can impact your metabolism, and what can happen as you begin adequately fuelling your body again. I also share my own experience of gaining weight during eating disorder recovery, why my weight once plateaued on very little food, and how I now need significantly more energy to fuel a healthy, active body. We also chat about why weight stability doesn’t necessarily mean you’re well fuelled, RED-S symptoms to look out for, and why your body’s functioning can tell us far more than the number on the scale.
