- You want to get your menstrual cycle back, and you’ve been told that to do that, you need to eat more. But you just can’t stop restricting yourself, because you don’t want to gain weight. Wouldn’t it be great if you could eat more, overcome amenorrhea, and not gain weight?
Western medicine and diet culture have convinced us that as soon as we eat more than we have been, we’ll pack on the pounds. That’s based on the belief that our metabolism is static, which simply is not true. Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani explains how our metabolic rate changes to adapt to the amount of fuel we’re taking in and the amount of energy we’re expending, so that nourishing yourself differently does not necessarily mean changing your body.
She also debunks the myths behind calorie counting and why calories have little relevance to how our bodies burn fuel. Hint: we don’t poop charcoal.
