Ever thought about eating more to lose weight? Or considered the signs that you might be undereating?

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with my former client, Karen, who shares her inspiring journey. Karen opens up about increasing her calorie intake, the positive impact on her mood, energy, and body composition, and the challenges she faced along the way. We dive into the importance of open communication in a coach-client relationship, changing our mindset about scale numbers, and the necessity of a reverse phase after a fat loss phase. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of listening to your body and normalizing hunger as a biological response. Join our conversation to hear more about:

• (00:45) Karen's experience of increasing her calorie intake and the positive impact on her mood, energy, and body composition
• (04:12) The challenges Karen faced during her journey to a healthier lifestyle 
• (08:20) The importance of open communication in a coach-client relationship 
• (12:35) Changing our mindset about scale numbers and focusing on overall health 
• (16:50) The necessity of a reverse phase after a fat loss phase 
• (29:43) Normalizing hunger as a biological response and overcoming societal pressure to feel guilty about it

It's incredible to hear Karen's transformation and how she prioritized her health and well-being. This episode serves as a reminder to all of us to listen to our bodies, nourish ourselves properly, and embrace hunger as a natural and necessary response.
