Have you ever entered your data into a macro-calculator, only to be told that your daily calorie allotment was two measly calories? Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but you get what I mean. Let's talk about the downside to an overreliance on macro-calculators that suggest continuous calorie reduction to achieve weight loss goals. While these calculators may seem helpful initially, the diminishing calorie recommendations can lead to frustration, unhealthy dietary habits, and weight-loss plateaus. Instead of perpetually decreasing calorie intake, it may be a wiser approach to include periods of increased calorie intake. Although this may seem counterintuitive, it communicates to the metabolism that it is being cared for, making it feel safe for when you feel ready to go back into a deficit and resume weight loss. This is a process I like to call "Metabolic Revitalization," and it is great for helping you to understand what your body needs. If you're seeking a weight loss strategy that doesn't involve unrealistic diet demands or time-consuming routines, this episode is for you.
