Ep.26 - I was Vegetarian?! Fad Diets, Why Under Eating is Ruining Your Metabolism, & Reverse Dieting

We’re getting into my past experiences with chronic dieting, unhealthy eating behaviors, how under-eating completely backfired on my body, and the biggest mistakes I see women making when trying to lose fat. If you feel like you’re doing “everything right” but not seeing results, this episode will connect the dots. I cover how under-eating slows your metabolism (and what that actually means), the subtle signs your body is under-fueled, what actually helped me see real body recomposition results, and how to reverse diet & repair your metabolism. If you’re stuck, plateaued, or constantly starting over… this is for you. ♥️ Links: This episode is sponsored by Cozy Earth 🫶🏼 use code: ‘MACROHABITS’ for a special discount https://cozyearth.com/ Fill this out to receive my questionnaire:  MacroHabits | Get Started 12 week 1:1 coaching form: MacroHabits | 1:1 Coaching Workout programs: Hannah Pointer App - Nutrition Coach & Personal Trainer Fav Electrolytes: https://www.pwdrs.com/products/electrolytes-pwdr (code: “MACROHABITS”) Food noise episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/macrohabits-podcast/id1845155084?i=1000746341189 MacroHabits IG: https://www.instagram.com/macro_habits?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr CSE Cookie Dough Protein Powder code: ‘HANNAH10’ https://cleansimpleeats.com/products/protein-powder-cookie-dough-12-serving-bag Cake Batter Rawr Bars code ‘MACROHABITS’: https://www.rawrorganics.com/products/limited-edition-birthday-cake-12-pack Tarte Eyeshadow Palette: https://go.shopmy.us/p-49773351 Lip gloss: https://go.shopmy.us/p-46876751 Eye patches: https://amzlink.to/az0gXSNkLqx0s Kelly (functional practitioner):  https://www.instagram.com/kellygiugni?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== App I use to track macros: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lose-it-calorie-counter/id297368629?ppid=53ad3fe9-f4bc-49a8-ab59-0adb3b120d1c Marc & Anna Pod: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2AuLkOukGPXOPumEzhI4dc?si=73EK6MfIQ7GxudalJTu6jw   0:00 – “Episode 26 Overview & Opening Thoughts” 2:20 – What Prompted Today’s Conversation 6:10 – Breaking Down the Core Topic 10:35 – Common Mistakes & Misconceptions 15:25 – Personal Experience & Honest Insight 20:30 – Practical Strategies That Actually Work 25:45 – Challenges, Adjustments & Expectations 31:00 – Consistency, Habits & Long-Term Results 36:20 – Mindset Shifts That Make a Difference 41:45 – Lessons Learned Along the Way 47:00 – Who This Advice Is Best For 52:15 – Final Takeaways & Closing Thoughts
