When fuel is low, the body downregulates certain body systems to conserve energy. Adequate fueling leads to increased energy, improved training quality, and optimized functioning overall. Starvation is a mode we can survive in, but it is not one we can thrive in. Build trust with your body. Take small, sustainable steps to ease into the recovery process. Increasing fuel can feel uncomfortable at first because the body has adapted to less. We can teach our bodies to accept more fuel. Change is not always bad, and it is not always permanent! Change is a sign that you are making progress toward recovery.
