Welcome to Empowered Radio.

I am your host, Emma Montgomery, an online nutrition and fitness coach and creator of Shred with M.

Each week we'll talk all things nutrition, training, and mindset.

You'll be able to take my tips and strategies and apply what you learn to see results

with both your body and your mind.

So without further ado, let's jump into the episode.

What's up guys?

Happy Friday and welcome back. Today's podcast is going to be a little different and kind of just off the cuff.

Some things I've been thinking about and received a lot of questions about. So we're going to talk about eating more to lose weight. And I put the little question mark on there,

like I am Ron Burgundy. And we're also going to talk a little bit about binge eating,

mainly my experience with it, because I'm not going to diagnose anyone or go into, you know, I'm just going to talk about

my experience and things that helped me in my journey there. So a little different, a little

personal, but we're just going to jump right in. So the first thing that I was going to talk about was

the, you know, eating more to lose weight.

So where that comes from, if it's true, you know, all that good stuff.

So when you hear people say, I can't lose weight because I'm under eating and my body is in starvation mode.

First of all, starvation mode isn't really a thing. So if you are, you know,

working towards fat loss, obviously we know we've talked about this before. A calorie deficit is

needed for fat loss. So if you hear people saying like, oh, you know, I can't lose weight and I'm only eating,

you know, 1,200 calories a day.

Honestly, sometimes I'll see on questionnaires where people say they're eating like 800 to

1,000 calories a day.
