There's value in both, macro tracking and intuitive eating. Intuitive eating is great and I believe that this should always be our end goal — to eat according to our bodies needs. But many times, learning how to eat intuitively so that eating is also healthy, takes some learning. This is where macro tracking can be very helpful.

I don't recommend macro or calorie tracking for those who have an eating disorder and/or hypothalamic amenorrhea. Please work with a specialist if you have one or both of these issues.

Most people understand that stress is bad for them, but what they may not realize is that stress can also prevent them from getting the fat loss and weight loss results they want. 

In this episode, you will learn how unmanaged stress can impact your body, what happens inside the body on the physiological level when we’re under too much stress, and what are some of the ways we can reduce the effects of stress.

Do you know the difference between occasional overeating and binge eating? Most people know what occasional overeating is like, but not everyone has experienced true binge eating where your desire to eat is so primal and unstoppable that you can’t stop before you feel physically sick.

In this episode, I’m sharing my own story with binge eating, as well as 3 reasons why it happens and 3 things you can do about it. Note — I am not covering the possible emotional reasons or trauma related binge eating, as this is outside of my qualifications. But I address the physiological reasons that are results of under eating (calorie deficit) and/or yo-yo dieting where you’re also trying to keep your calories extremely low.

If your binge eating is caused by chronic low calorie eating, diet jumping or extended fasts, I can help you! I currently have spots open for 1:1 coaching. You can learn more and apply here: https://urbanjane.co/macro-coaching-with-kersten/

In this episode of the Balanced Vibes podcast, we're talking about metabolic rate, how it's impacted by our lifestyle, what makes it to slow down, and how we can then boost it. If you hear that someone wants to increase their metabolism or improve their metabolic rate — they mean essentially the same thing.

This is an Instagram live recording where dr Laura Gouge interviewed me about all things body change, macros, cold exposure, and how to change your body without burning yourself out.

Here are some snippets from this episode:

“In the training world, there's sometimes this mindset and mentality that you just have to push through. You just develop this toughness to always push through… But it's not always the best thing to do.”

“Moving towards fitness will nourishing your nervous system and taking care of your whole body is the best thing you can do…”

In today's video, I'm talking about how it is possible that some people who start eating more and resting more, actually lose body fat and inches and start looking fitter and leaner. It doesn't happen for everyone, but I do see it in my coaching!

I also share couple of success stories with you, together with photos, so you can see exactly what's possible.

Are you ready for calorie deficit, or do you need to speed your metabolism up first?

Many women come to me with a fat loss goal, but when I look at their calories, I see quickly that their food intake is way too low to even try to lose fat.

Why is this important?

Because if you try to cut from a place that is unhealthy for you, your food intake is already too low, then your body doesn't want to let go of anything, and you continue to be stuck.

In this video, I'm sharing with you the way how you can figure out if you are ready to start fat loss or if you need a metabolic reset first.

In today's episode, I'm going to share with you some amazing case studies from women who were struggling with fat loss plateau even though they were eating low calories and worked out a lot. I'm also going to share with you what we did so that they got a lot better, increased calories, and lost body fat.

You will see that it is possible to increase your metabolic rate by several hundred calories which heals your body and makes fat loss possible again.

Eating Too Little For Too Long Is The Reason For Fat Loss Resistance

All these women whose stories I share on this episode, were eating way under their needs. Some of them ate even 1000-1200 calories before we got started. Some of them did 4 day fasts when they didn't eat anything at all. Others cut out all carbs. It all came down to the same thing — extreme calorie restriction.

They all had to speed up their metabolism to start seeing the body change they wanted because this extreme calorie restriction was the exact reason why they were stuck.

How To Burn 750 Calories More and Not Gain Fat

Check out the numbers to see how much more these women are eating now while maintaining or even improving their look. They're eating 450-750 calories MORE. And they all eat carbs which again proves the point that there is no need to cut out carbs or go on a very restricted carbohydrate diet if you want to lose fat. In fact, I argue that carbs are necessary for most women for a healthy metabolic function.

This is possible when you increase your calories steadily and gradually, the way I teach inside Metabolic Reset.

Other Benefits Of Faster Metabolism

You may think that being able to lose fat is the most important thing and the main reason why one would want to speed up their metabolism. But there's a lot more. All these women have experienced great gains in other areas as well.

What you don't see here is that each one of them is feeling tons better, many have better hormonal balance, less cravings, better sleep and better mood.

Your Metabolism Is Doing Exactly What You're Telling It To Do

If you think that your metabolism is not working when you hit fat loss resistance and get convinced that there's something wrong with you, it's not true. You may hate to read this but… Your metabolism is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing.

When we eat 1200 calories, we create a 1200 calorie metabolism which then fights hard against burning any of it.

It's simply trying to keep you alive and this is not a place to burn anything extra.

When your metabolism slows down to the point where it now burns barely any energy and in fact, may be preserving energy (=weight and fat gain), the reason is usually over dieting.

Good news: When you start eating a bit more, it will speed up again and can start burning calories again which is exactly what these women did!

“But Eating More Is Scary!”

“But Kersten, eating more food is scary! I'm going to blow up!” — did you just say that?

I'm reading your mind. It does not have to be like this. Here's your evidence, on these three pictures that you saw in the video. Because how you’re doing it is key. Do it gradually, exactly the way I teach you inside Metabolic Reset, and you will see great results!

The Diet Industry's Biggest Hidden Secret…

Is this: Low calorie diets work at first, but then they stop working. The diet industry doesn't tell you that it happened *exactly* because you were eating too little. Instead, it tell you that you should eat even less.

How much less exactly? Like 1400, 1200, eventually 1000 calories a day?

In so many cases, eating too little for too long is the exact reason why so many women hit a hard fat loss plateau as they have now caused a metabolic slowdown. And often even start gaining body fat.

This problem is so common that last year I created a course called Metabolic Reset to help women solve it.

Why Metabolic Reset?

So many women need help with this but not everyone is ready for 1:1 coaching. This 8-week self-paced, DIY (Do It Yourself) course teaches you exactly, step by step, how to speed up your metabolism and make it responsive to your efforts again so that you can kickstart your fat loss again.

Without first speeding up your metabolism, you will not get results. You need to prime it first and this is exactly what this program teaches you.

And now, I’ve decided to close the course.

WHY??

This year, I’m going to uplevel everything that I do, including this course. The next version of this program will be even better, and include even more resources including direct access to me. With that, also the price will go up significantly.

Dieting Harder Is Not The Answer

So, if you know that you have been dieting and dieting, you are already eating very little, you may have increased your cardio even more, but all you got was frustration, same results or even weight and fat gain, Metabolic Reset is the *exact* program for you.

Note: It does require independent work. You have to sit down and carve out 15-30 minutes a week because you will actually *learn* how to set your own macros to successfully speed up your metabolism. I'm giving you the exact tools and expertise that I use with my 1:1 clients, so learning this takes some effort on your part. If you want to “wing it”, this ain't the course for you.

If you're ready to commit, learn, and follow the program so that you can have a healthy functioning metabolism that burns energy… this course will deliver, guaranteed.
