In an interview I was asked what one of the biggest things women do wrong for their health is that they think they’re doing right. My answer – eating to little in an attempt to lose weight. Listen in to learn how calorie restriction, very low carb diets, and restrictive diets can activate your stress response and sometimes do more harm than good.
In this episode I discuss:
- Why restrictive diets don’t work indefinitely, and especially for women
- How your brain sees cutting calories as a danger sign
- Why cortisol makes you want to eat more
- Why you put on fat around your middle when you deprive yourself
- The relationship between sleep and weight gain
- How not eating enough can lead to thyroid problems
- When to drink your coffee
- What to include in your meals
- How often to eat for healthy cortisol rhythm
- Why it's best not to eat too close to bedtime
- What to do if you work night shifts
