I’m Casey, your no-nonsense fitness model and hormone expert. Today, we’re diving deep into weight loss, hormones, and the real reasons you might be struggling to shed those extra pounds. Let’s cut through the fluff and get right to it.
Key Takeaways
- No More Low-Calorie Diets: If you’ve been stuck on a 1200-1400 calorie diet for years with no results, it’s time to change your approach. Your metabolism is likely damaged, and starving yourself isn’t the answer.
- Increase Your Calories: Start a reverse diet. Gradually increase your caloric intake by about 10% to help reset your metabolism and boost energy levels.
- Address Emotional Wounds: Many weight loss struggles stem from emotional trauma and generational beliefs. Healing these wounds is crucial for sustainable weight loss.
- Focus on Holistic Health: Weight loss isn’t just about diet and exercise. It’s about addressing the mind, body, and soul connection. This includes nervous system regulation and emotional intelligence.
- Get to the Root of Hormonal Issues: Hormonal imbalances can sabotage your weight loss efforts. Work with a professional to assess your hormone levels and find a tailored approach.
The Real Talk on Weight Loss
Why Diets Fail
If diets worked, we wouldn’t have a weight loss industry filled with quick fixes and empty promises. The truth is, if you’ve been trying to lose weight through restrictive diets without addressing your emotional and hormonal health, you’re likely to keep hitting a wall.
The Importance of Healing
Many women carry deep-rooted emotional wounds that can affect their self-image and motivation. This can stem from childhood experiences, societal pressures, or familial expectations. Here’s how to start healing:
- Recognize Your Patterns: Understand where your beliefs about food and body image come from. Are they rooted in your family dynamics?
- Work on Your Mindset: Shift your perspective from scarcity to abundance. You deserve to feel good and achieve your goals without self-sabotage.
Practical Steps for Success
- Reverse Dieting: Gradually increase your calorie intake. This helps rebuild your metabolism and energy levels.
- Nervous System Regulation: Incorporate practices like meditation, breathwork, or yoga to help regulate your nervous system. This can reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.
- Seek Help with the right people: If you’re struggling with hormonal imbalances, consult with a reliable source and professional who understands the interplay between hormones and weight loss. No more regular doctors!!!
- Join a Supportive Community: Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who are also on their fitness journeys. This can provide motivation and accountability.
