Summary
The traditional approach of 'eat less and move more' for weight loss often fails because the body adapts to the lower energy availability. The metabolism is constantly adjusting to the environment based on stress and energy availability. Crash diets and quick fixes do not prioritize metabolic health and can lead to further metabolic damage. Women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are less resilient to these changes and need to care for their metabolism differently. It is important to listen to the signals of the metabolism, such as sleep, appetite, mood, cravings, strength, digestion, and menstrual cycle. Improving the metabolism requires eating more of the right nutrients, moving the body in a way that increases metabolism, and managing stress.
