Still Eating 1,200 Calories? It’s Time to Stop
Yes, there were a few tech hiccups while recording this one, but this message is too important not to share.
If you’ve ever been told that 1,200 calories is the “goal” for weight loss, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: that advice is outdated, unsustainable, and probably the reason you’ve felt stuck or like you’ve “failed” in the past.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- The history of the 1,200 calorie myth (and why it stuck around so long)
- The real impact of eating too little (hello exhaustion, binges, and frustration)
- How to fuel your body instead so you can feel better and see progress
Glitches or not, this conversation had to happen. It’s time to stop shrinking yourself into a 1,200 calorie box and start fueling your body the way it deserves.
