Eating less isn’t always the answer.
Especially in beginners.
If you’re someone who typically eats a low calorie diet....
You don’t need to eat less.
You might need to eat MORE.
More protein.
More fuel.
More strength.
More muscle.
The goal isn’t to become really good at eating as little as possible.
It’s to lose body fat while eating a great amount of food and training a few times a week to maintain your muscle + optimum health 💛

Few points to this:
1️⃣ Fat loss happens when a gap between expenditure and intake is created.
Make this gap too big and you’ll run into the inevitable:
•Fatigue
•Increased food focus
•Lack of recovery
•Loss of muscle and bone density
•Another failed fat loss attempt
2️⃣ The main priority with nutrition in a fat loss phase is choosing meals that are satiating.
Think protein, fibre and low-calorie bulk for the majority of eating opportunities.
Eating small meals that are extremely low calorie or that are smaller in physical size is often comfortable for those who don’t understand the difference between “ate too much” and the normal feeling of fullness you want to experience after a meal.
Eating physically smaller meals is often a strategy people adopt because eating bigger meals is associated with negative comments and assumptions that food is evil.
3️⃣ Majority of people struggle with a some sort of auto immune condition, gut issue or extreme fatigue where their HPA axis is disregulated.
When we look at the similarities between all of these = nutrient deficiencies pop up.
When you choose to undereat or only choose foods based on their calorie amount, you exacerbate your problems.
Nothing good comes from keeping nutrients and calories small for long periods of time.
This includes hitting your macros at 2000cal and not prioritising plant fibre, variety and nutrients.

A healthy diet isn’t just about what you remove and what you stay away from, it’s also about the variety you include.
Many of us are nutrient deficient because take-away, convenience foods and the quality of our nutrition has changed over time.
Different plants provide different fibres, nutrients and plant compounds that support your gut, hormones and overall health.
How many different plants do you eat each week?
And what swaps will you make first?
