What Dieting Too Hard Taught Us
from Not Just Gym Girls · host Marisa Silva and Vanessa Silva
In this episode, we’re breaking down the lessons we learned from dieting too hard and how it impacted more than just our weight. From gut and hormone issues to shifts in mood, energy, and mental health, we’re sharing the downstream effects that chronic dieting can have over time. We also talk about how it started to take over our lives; missing out on social events, stressing over food, and constantly planning everything around workouts. And most importantly, we walk you through what we do differently now, focusing on eating enough, strength training, building structure without rigidity, and creating a sustainable and enjoyable approach.STRIVE FOR STRONG WEBSITE: https://www.striveforstrong.com/MARISA IG: https://instagram.com/msilvafitness_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=MARISA COACHING LINK:https://msilvafitness.typeform.com/to/ptaEKYD8VANESSA IG: https://www.instagram.com/vanessasilvafitt/VANESSA COACHING LINK:https://form.typeform.com/to/hec1uTP0
