Body Recomp for Women: How to Reverse Diet

Are you working out more, cutting calories, and still can’t seem to lose weight? Your metabolism might be trapped in survival mode. In this episode of @FuelwithErin, Erin breaks down the exact science of the "Reverse Diet"—the crucial metabolic reset that most women need to do before they ever try to cut calories again. She opens up about her own mistake of chronically under-eating at 1,800 calories while training intensely, how her body adapted by down-regulating her metabolism, and the exact mistake she made that led to gaining 20 pounds when she tried to fix it too fast. If you want to build muscle, balance your hormones, and finally give your body the safety it needs to drop fat sustainably, you need to learn how to add calories back the right way. 👉 Subscribe to @Fuel with Erin for more real talk on fitness, nutrition, and high-performance health just for women!
