The Implications of Long Term Dieting and Under-Recovery Ep. 3
I had a completely different topic I planned on talking about in today's episode but after seeing countless Q&A questions and reflecting on my own experience with today's topic, this felt too important not to talk about today. I see many women specifically come into the Level TEN coaching community that have chronically dieted for years (much like I did) and think the issue is overtraining. The REAL issue we're facing is under-recovery and I have a great model and examples to explain this concept and a lot more!
