Why Cutting Calories is Actually STOPPING You From Losing Weight
If you’re full time working adult and have a terrible time trying to achieve your fitness goals…
Here’s one of the top things you should stop doing today:
#1: Stop trying to cut calories.
Women have been told for ages that eating less is the way to achieve a lean & toned body. Right?
Wrong.
Haphazardly cutting calories too low is one of the WORST tools for women to measure their progress, especially if they are under 180lbs.
Here’s why…
Dropping calories before your body is ready causes you to trash your metabolism.
I know you’ve heard of stress hormones before.
What you might not know is stress hormones cause metabolic disorders that makes fat loss a nightmare.
During your normal day to day behaviors, your metabolism is already under a lot of stress with work, poor sleep, recovering from workouts, dealing with the kids, and just trying to keep you alive.
Stress responses from dropping calories too low only piles onto the problem.
Stress hormones slow down your metabolism to prepare for the stressful times ahead.
This makes it easier than ever to lose motivation , and harder than ever to burn fat.
This is what leads to more & more off track days occurring.
This is why a lot of women gain fat though they feel like they are eating too little, which feels impossible to overcome.
If that wasn’t bad enough…
The stress hormones that are released from this cycle lead to worse sleep, higher cravings, & more discouragement.
Think of stress like a schoolyard bully that takes the lunch money of your metabolism.
What I mean is stress steals the raw materials used to build lean muscle in your body…
While also blocking your body’s ability to burn the fat that is available.
There are a number of other ways eating too little and stress can backfire on women in their fat loss attempts…
But instead of writing you a textbook on metabolism, here’s my advice.
Ditch the starvation tactics if you want to build a lean, toned body because it trashes the power of your metabolism.
