So I know I am the annoying coach that’s constantly saying to people to up protein and 9 times out of 10 eat more. There is a method to my madness. Normally people are eating way below what their body needs to build muscle, burn fat and function in a healthy way. It is a scary place to be when you are on reverse diet but if it’s done correctly with adequate protein, carbs and fat, proper strength training and a good amount of steps you will in the long run be a healthier stronger person, which is essential as you age. It does mean you have to consider ignoring the scale weight and focus on strength, energy, sleep and how you feel. You won’t see dramatic drops of the scale normally and you feel like it’s completely wrong. This is all part of the process and the main thing is you have to be consistent! Scale weight is not the main goal, body composition is. Being a low weight does not always mean you are healthier, having more muscle and less body fat does. Muscle is key to life longevity, health and fat loss.
If you want to see the scale consistently drop whilst eating 1200kcal and you want a quick fix,I am def not the one to work with. If you want a long-lasting healthy attitude to food where you can actually eat more , and you want to be stronger and leaner I am. I’ve added these pictures to empathise my point . Have a great weekend everyone 😁👍
