Already in a calorie deficit but aren’t seeing the changes you expected?
Maybe less calories are not the answer.
Yes, energy balance is important when it comes to changing your body composition but if you are someone who has been chronically undereating then this is going to impact the way your body responds.
Most women who are overweight are already in a calorie deficit.
Most women who are overweight are also:
- Protein deficient and have been for years
- Iron deficient or have low levels
- Vitamin D deficient or have low levels
- Magnesium deficient or have low levels
- Have some form of gut inflammation
They also
- Do not drink enough water
- Do not eat enough fresh vegetables or fruit
- Do not like eating meat
- Sleep an average of 4-5 hours each night
- Have high levels of cortisol or an unhealthy cortisol curve
- Do not spend enough time in sunlight
- Eat more food from packeted sources than real food
- Drink alcohol
It is no coincidence that our lifestyles are directly affecting our health and the ability to digest, absorb and recover on a daily basis.
