158: Why Women Need to Eat MORE (yes really)

If you’ve ever been told that eating 1,200 calories a day is the key to weight loss, I need you to stop what you’re doing and listen to this episode. Because the truth? Most women are under eating—and it’s sabotaging their metabolism, energy, and long-term fat loss goals. In this episode, I’m breaking down: 🔥 The Myth of the 1,200-Calorie Diet (and why it’s total BS) 📉 What a calorie deficit actually is (and why too much restriction backfires) ⚖️ The difference between deficit, maintenance, and surplus calories 📊 How the TDEE Calculator works to determine what your body really needs 💪 Why eating more (the right way) can actually help you burn fat, build muscle, and feel amazing Plus, we reference Episode #73,  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/73-why-the-1200-calorie-diet-does-not-work-for-losing-weight/id1504001186?i=1000558226154 where I first talked about breaking free from restrictive dieting—so if you haven’t heard that one yet, it’s a must-listen, too! Too many women are stuck in a cycle of chronic undereating, leading to stalled progress, hormone imbalances, and exhaustion. This episode is your permission (and science-backed reason) to fuel your body properly—without fear of "eating too much."
