#164- MINI EPISODE why diets fail, and your hard efforts see little results

100% Real With Ruby; no #BS nutrition, fitness & psychology - Ein Podcast von Ruby Cherie - Freitags

So youre at a place where you are eating pretty low calories already and training hard as it is.. Where is there to go from there - there is literally no room to move - I mean yeah cool you can go on 700 calories if you like.. But you have no room to move and you are digging a MASSIVE hole if you can even stick to those calories - I mean your sleep sucks, gut sucks, you feel like shit, probably lose your period, colder than usual & building muscle sucks -  you put your body into survival mode   because it doesnt have enough energy to run all the vital organs and system - so youre spinning your wheels at this point You can starve yourself more or actually reverse up and address your metabolic health! Also good to note that if you go the other route and just keep trying to push on at lower calories because you are scared to eat more or potentially put on weight, you will be creating a spring like effect psychologically and physiologically and youll get to a point where the seams burst and all of a sudden youre uncontrollable with overeating, emotional eating, binges, and any other form of eating patterns entrenched with guilt and so forth. Theres going to be a point where your current maintenance gets so low - every time you chase a deficit your body will adapt to that, so go big, and you adapt big - but however you take it, if you keep cutting and cutting, you are adapting to a new maintenance with not much wiggle room.
