Hope youâre doing awesome!đ
Today Iâm sharing some insights on the pitfalls of short-term diets, particularly for sustainable weight loss in women with PCOS.
If youâve felt like the scale is stuck (or worse, climbing), no matter what you do to lose weight, this one is for you.
You've spent hundreds if not thousands on 6 week programs and gym membershipsđđ»ââïž...nothing worked.đ€·đŒââïž
Why in the world is that? What did you do wrong?
Hint: Itâs not your fault.đâ€ïžâđ©č
The Complexity of PCOS:
PCOS is a multifaceted condition with unique challenges, including hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance.
A quick-fix, 6-week diet will most likely overlook the underlying complexities of PCOS, potentially leading to temporary results and rebound effects.
Maaaan the rebound effects!đŠđ„
It takes such a toll on your mental health. Let me guess youâve felt one of four things recently (or all 4):
đŹAnxiety
đDepression
đ”âđ«Mood Swings
đ Self Loathing
PCOS feels insurmountable. Like a stretchy band that only allows you to run so far before snapping you right back to square 1 again.đš
There is hope âš
Sustainable Lifestyle Changes over Quick Fixes:
PCOS management requires a holistic approach that focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes.
Rapid diets often promote drastic calorie restrictions or eliminate entire food groups, leading to nutritional imbalances.
What does restriction do?
Puts your brain in âstarvation modeââ
And then hormones go haywire and your body stores every minute calorie that you eat as fatâŠbecause it thinks youâre starving.
Great.đ
So many of the wonderful women I coach actually end up eating MORE than before and getting INCREDIBLE results!
Not overnight results.
But sustainable results that support fertility & feeling like superwoman in a healthy, nourished body.đ„
đ«
Embracing gradual, personalized changes allows for a more sustainable and nourishing transformation.
âNo restrictive diets that crash your mental health and energy. âNo crazy unsustainable high stress workouts.
đąSlow and Steady wins the raceđ„
Individualized Nutrition for PCOS:
PCOS manifests differently in each woman, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't align with the diverse needs of individuals.
The root causes of PCOS can be as varied as stress, nutrient deficiency, blood sugar imbalances, high cortisol, poor gut health, struggling detox pathways & more!
đ«ŁThereâs just no way that a 6 week restrictive diet can fix all of that.
Tailoring nutrition plans to address specific PCOS symptoms, such as insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances, ensures a more effective and sustainable weight loss journey.
Not just a 6 week slim down.
Youâll be feeling fabulous way past 40 and simultaneously lowering your risk of:
đDiabetes
đ«Heart Disease
đŠŽOsteoporosis
đDementia
đïžPossibly even Cancer & more!
Now thatâs what I want for my health. What about you?
