Seriously guys, read this post... This hits it right on the head!  If you're working with someone that simply plays the coaching role of calories in vs calories out, you should walk away!  Unfortunately it is more in depth than that. Read below👇👇👇

You need to be in is a Caloric deficit to lose weight correct? Yes. But there is MORE to it. .
.
Let's discuss this a simplified as possible. .
.
The longer and longer you are in that deficit the lower your “maintenance” intake gets as your BMR drops. That means if you diet with very low calories for Long periods what USE to be your Base/Maintenance intake is now a Caloric Surplus. .

This is exactly how you see individuals who compete/diet for months now are not losing fat on 1000 calories and hormones are out of balance and for females possibly being estrogen dominant, tanked T4 to T3 conversion, gut issues, etc...due to the excessive Stress on the system. .
.
So yes being in a caloric deficit will allow you to lose, but if you diet chronically and now you need 900 calories to lose do you think that would be sustainable or healthy? If it’s up to the inviduals who ONLY look at calories in vs calories out they would say just drop more calories. GTFO. If you give a shit about someone’s health you would dig deeper. .
.
So wake up and understand EVERYTHING that's going on. I've lost clients because I refuse to put them into a deficit to lose more when they need to correct underlying issues like high stress, imbalanced cortisol, gut issues, sleep issues, etc... My goal for clients is Long Term, Not short term!. .  #teammpt #longevity #health #fitness #metabolism #coaching #donoharm
