Today I'm talking with David Mathas, who is an online strength and Physique Coach. He has his Masters In Exercise Science. David talks to us about eating disorders and reverse diets! David, himself had an eating disorder and almost died in the ICU, while he was in the army. David is the first to tell you that most eating disorders aren't about food or exercise. They usually stem from something deeper rooted then just your body image and can be due to past issues that may have arose while you were a child. Eating disorders are classified under mental health and David is the first to admit that he needed help. Once David was able to nourish his body and mind he was able to accept and move forward, which changed his trajectory into coaching. David and I also talk reverse diets. He shares a great analogy about reverse diets with me, that I don't want to give away here. The take away is your body can't always be in a caloric deficit. The process is the point!
