58. Why Women Stay Stuck Underfueling - Reverse Dieting 101


Listen Later

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, exhausted, or like nothing is working no matter how little they eat.

Kelsey breaks down what reverse dieting actually is, why so many women are unknowingly under-fueling, and how that’s holding them back from seeing real progress. We talk about the mental side of it too—the fear of eating more, the “less is better” mindset, and why that way of thinking can actually be the thing keeping you stuck.

You’ll learn how reverse dieting helps rebuild your metabolism, improve energy, regulate hormones, and change your body composition in a way that actually lasts. We also get into what this process actually looks like—how to start, what to expect, and common mistakes like increasing calories too fast or relying only on the scale instead of real progress markers.

This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a strategic process that requires patience, trust, and learning to work with your body instead of against it.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your progress, scared to eat more, or stuck in the cycle of constantly cutting… this episode will change the way you think about it.
