29 | Tired of Cutting Calories? Here’s How Eating More Helps You Lose Weight
Description
Are you tired of eating 1,200 calories a day, working out harder than ever, and still not seeing fat loss results? You’re not alone. So many busy women in their 30s, 40s, 50s (and beyond!) feel stuck in the diet cycle of restriction, burnout, and frustration. Especially during perimenopause and menopause, when hormones and metabolism shift.
In this episode we breaks down reverse dieting—what it is, why it works, and how to do it without fear of gaining all your weight back.
If you’ve ever wondered:
✨ Why does fat loss feel harder the older I get?
✨ What is reverse dieting and how can it actually help me eat MORE and still maintain (or even lose) weight?
✨ How do I overcome the fear of eating more food without “ruining” my progress or gaining extra weight?
…this episode is for you! We cover:
- Why 1,200 calories isn’t the solution for long-term fat loss
- How metabolic adaptation works and why your body is protecting you
- The truth about reverse dieting (it’s not just “eating more”)
- How to know if reverse dieting is right for you (signs your body is asking for it)
- The mindset shifts you must make to break free from diet culture and trust the weight loss process
- How to track fat loss progress beyond the scale so you can see the real wins
Reverse dieting is about so much more than food. It’s about resetting your metabolism, restoring your energy, and creating freedom around food without guilt. Imagine eating more, fueling your workouts, enjoying dinners, and maintaining your results. That’s what reverse dieting can do.
