Client call question: Is eating 1,000 calories the same as eating 2,000 calories but burning 1,000 calories off during exercise?
A: NO. Not only are you lacking the calories needed to fuel your body appropriately to get the results you want, you’re also lacking in micronutrients, which your body needs to function at its best.
Let me point out a big issue: 1000 calories is not sustainable nor enough to sustain a toddler.
By eating so little your body begins to down regulate and fight against you, your metabolism drops, you lose muscle, your hormones begin to go wonky & the list goes on.
Basically you create a dumpster fire for yourself & attain the dreaded #skinnyfat for many.
This is what happens when you don’t strength train, abuse cardio, &
under eat, losing muscle & increasing body fat. You may lose weight but your physique looks nothing like the picture you have in your head.
I explained to my client It would be far easier & more effective to eat 2000 calories & train intentionally.
We should set ourselves up for a successful fat loss cut by reverse dieting if we need to, construct a success routine, then shoot for a small deficit & reassess.
During my last mini cut I only reduced my calories by about 300-400. That’s it.
Let me reiterate we shouldn’t obsess over our fit trackers, earning or burning food.
A much better option to overtraining & under eating is to create a lower caloric deficit, stick to that for 2-3 weeks & then reassess.
The weight loss is slower, easier, more sustainable, more enjoyable, & life sucks a whole lot less
So if this sounds like you & you’re at a point where you’re no longer seeing progress & don’t know what to do, I’d love to help.
