There have been many times in my life that I have reduced my calorie intake to basically nothing just to fit in a swimsuit… basically every summer from age 13-27. Even though I have coached against this for years I was still living in this world of needing to be a specific body type for summer. In 2016 I prepped for a bikini show and ran my body into the ground to not even compete in the end. I was sick and fatigued every single day because I was not on a nutrition plan that was designed for my body. So I learned the ultimate lesson in practicing what you preach… The minute I started refocusing on adding in calories and balancing life again my health and energy returned. We are all human and I share this story to show you I am just as human as you are and I have made those choices too! So let's work together to create a plan so you can achieve your goals without all the fatigue and health related problems that come from living in a severe calorie deficit.
