The diet phase no one tells you about …

Healing! 

I yo yo dieted & ate very low cal for a while before learning about proper nutrition 

During my “diets” (quotes bc I was always dieting .. restarting every Monday after a weekend binge)

I always had low energy, soreness, & only went to the bathroom every few days 

FYI: You’re supposed to 💩 everyday

My metabolism was off, my body wasn’t getting enough, & my relationship with food & body image sucked

Learning about macros & nutrition changed my life, but it took time for my body to get used to 

Months for my body to adjust to the amount of food since it was used to eating very little

Months for my metabolism to get back up to speed & utilize the food for energy instead of storing it

Months of mindset work to get myself out of the skinny = healthy mindset 

This is the healing phase 

& if you have been stuck in the diet mentality for a while, know that this phase is essential to moving past it

Give yourself the space & time to heal before you continue focusing on physical goals 

This means focusing on how you feel instead of what a scale says 😁

If you have no idea how to get started on this, let’s have a conversation 🙂
