0:00.0	What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast and it is I
0:09.0	Mike Milner your host. So today I'm going to talk about metabolic adaptations.
0:16.8	So I had a client, actually this was not a client,
0:20.8	this was just somebody who was in our Facebook group which by the way if you're not in there you
0:25.9	should probably join I will post the link in the show notes but anyway this person had
0:30.9	commented that she we were actually sharing like diet horror stories and so, you know, if you guys know my story, I have a kind of dark history with diets to put it lightly and have done some very
0:46.2	extreme and restrictive protocols it led me to the point where I am today where I am trying to help people overcome and
0:55.8	avoid all the same mistakes that I made and in doing so kind of owning that who

1:51.0	not a way to live life and there were some other you know symptoms that she was
1:54.8	experiencing like her hair falling out losing her period feeling miserable depression a lot of
2:02.1	side effects that come with severe calorie restriction over a long period of time.
2:07.6	And so she has finally gotten to the point where her calories are higher, but I still wouldn't consider them, you know, super high.
2:15.7	Like I think she mentioned that she was able to build up, and this was over years, to get the courage to get her calories up to around 15,
2:25.2	1,600 somewhere in that range.
