Do I need to eat more to lose fat?

It’s called fueling your body with MORE nutrients instead of less.

When you don’t support your body with enough calories to fuel your exercise activity and basal metabolic rate, your metabolism will actually drop and you will burn fewer calories! This is an adaptive response to your body, thinking it needs

I’ve had clients who were eating much fewer calories (~1200) compared to how much they were burning in a day (~2500) and would not lose body fat. Once they added more nutrient dense foods, more fiber, more carbohydrates they actually started to lose fat.

When you exercise regularly with progressive overload in your program, WHILE eating enough nutrients to support exercise your body won’t hold on to extra fat.

It’s not as easy as calories in, calories out.

When there are gut health issues, hormonal issues, and chronic inflammation has been present for years.

Your body needs appropriate proteins, carbs, fats, total calories, and vitamins and minerals that support specific bodily functions.

Your quality of food matters.

You cannot be a healthy adult without including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains

in your diet.

Living on protein bars and protein powders is not the same as a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods.

Carbohydrates in high fiber foods support your metabolism, hormones, and digestion. Your body will use more energy to break down those foods which increases your metabolic rate. This makes you more efficient at burning calories rather than storing them.

You will improve your metabolic capacity even more when you are fueling your body appropriately while exercising regularly!
