Coach K’s Hopeful Gut Healing and Body Transformation Guide: From Disordered Eating, Fat Loss, Recipes, Crohn’s Disease, Food Addiction, Biohacking, Habits, Mindset & More

IBS vs IBD lilbitoffit hopeful gut healing guide

5 years ago, I wrote a journal entry about my ongoing struggle with Crohn’s disease, binge eating, unhealthy addiction to exercise, & poor body image.

I detailed longstanding struggle with my seemingly endless appetite & f*cked up addiction to stuffing huge amounts of food in my face, struggling with gut flares & drowning in a black cloud of self loathing & frustration.

I had no “cures” as of yet, but I was now out of the closet getting REAL with living in a “haunted house.”

Since writing that entry, I chose to turn that pain into something constructive. I created a community here simply sharing my life in hopes of helping others living a similar nightmare.

I wrote a super informative blog on my healing & carnivore story here that will answer the majority of your questions what I went through transitioning & how I healed via a meat based, “carnivore” lifestyle.

I’ve received hundreds of messages asking about the journey of recovery from disordered eating, poor body image, food addiction, orthorexia, & Crohn’s disease.

Living decades with these devils on my shoulders since the age of 8, I’ve learned a lot.

After going “carnivore” with diet & changing my perspective on health & fitness, I never binge & am healthier than ever at 40 years old & med free in remission.
I want the same for you.

How did I crack the code? Brain dumped as many resources as I could in this blog for you.

First, I stopped looking outside myself for solutions, online & advice from friends, doctors, & latest fads. Instead, I decided to compassionately look inward & get curious on what life & fitness meant to me.

I started observing myself to understand my thoughts & actions.

I found without exception, I binged in response to 3 different situations that left me hungry physically & mentally:

  • When “restricting” & trying to eat like everyone else instead of ME
  • When avoiding an emotion or lacking purpose
  • When neglecting my own pleasure & needs

My priorities now are: Great food in the form of animal based nutrition — quality sleep & exercise — simple joy & inner peace.

I’ve learned to consider fitness a lifestyle I love, not a chore.

A CHAMPION means to be someone that loves the work of becoming one more than the idea of becoming one.

5 Changes That Helped Me Lose The Weight + Carnivore Diet FAQ’s

5 changes that helped me lose the weight + Carnivore diet FAQ's

Y’all wanna know what most people get wrong when it comes to dieting in general?
Not dieting.

I remember feeling like sh*t, no energy no matter how many coffee or Bangs I shoved down my pie hole, chronic constipation, bloating, no body comp changes – THAT was my normal back in the day.

I committed every sin I’ve talked about here on the interwebs. I used to CrossFit my a$$ off hours a day 7 d/wk on 1500 calories, eating sugar & diet foods which were wrecking me mentally & physically.

I wondered why I could never recover or look “jacked” like other female athletes that weren’t working “half as hard” & eating 2x as much.

Fast forward today, my 40 yo self finally fit the puzzle pieces together & learned not to fear food, not to see it as something I had to earn or burn off & simply eat food that made me feel good.

I’m 5’1, 105lbs. I workout 5 d/wk, I lift & CrossFit, I walk a lot, AND I eat ALOT. I avg 2000 calories most days, primarily ground beef & eggs.

You can read about how I healed my gut, quit binge eating, lost 55lbs & put my Crohn’s disease in remission via the Carnivore Diet HERE. It’ll answer your questions & hopefully give you hope to heal yours too!

Reminder, maintenance calories are how many calories we can eat in a day & maintain optimal body function without seeing any changes to muscle & fat composition. In other words, chillin like a villain.

Not sure what to do?

I have a whole Meat & Macros EGuide in the link in my IG bio that will give you your answers! With recipes & dedicated sections to disordered eating, dieting, and reverse dieting for any diet camp!

You can book a coaching call with me! Coaching FAQs are HERE

Some things you may not want to hear:
⁃ A healthy body loses body fat & any weight you gain in the process of gaining health is weight you needed to gain.
⁃ It may take years to get the body you want going through numerous periodization cycles.
⁃ There is a cost to being a certain level of lean. That athletic body you covet just may weigh more than you think.
⁃ Unless you’re a newbie & never worked out before or dieted, fat loss takes a calorie deficit, muscle gain takes at least maintenance & more likely surplus. Pick one.

If you refuse to eat more when you need to restore your health, you have far pressing more important issues than looking good in a bikini.

Keepin it real,
Coach K
