It’s overwhelmed. In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show , Lizzie breaks down why chronic dieting and long-term under-eating slow metabolic function instead of improving it, especially for women. January often convinces people that something is wrong with their bodies, but in reality, it’s the stress, restriction, and lack of nourishment that keep the body in survival mode. Lizzie explains what metabolism actually does in the body, how dieting downregulates thyroid function, disrupts blood sugar, raises cortisol, and leads to inflammation, fatigue, cravings, and stubborn weight. She walks through why eating less backfires, how being underfed and overstressed impacts hormones and the nervous system, and why food guilt creates real physiological stress. You’ll learn why cravings are not a lack of willpower, why sugar and carb cravings often point to protein and nutrient deficiencies, and how proper nourishment restores energy, digestion, sleep, focus, and metabolic function. Lizzie also shares how safety, structure, and support matter more than discipline when it comes to sustainable health. This episode is for anyone ready to stop dieting, stop punishing their body, and start supporting it in a way that actually works. 6-Week Undiet You Reset: https://www.undietyou.com/6-week-undiet-you In this episode, you’ll discover: Why dieting slows metabolism over time How eating less keeps the body in survival mode What metabolism actually does and how it adapts to stress Why under-fueling impacts thyroid, hormones, and energy How blood sugar imbalance drives fatigue and inflammation Why food guilt creates stress in the body How nourishment restores m…","meta_description":"If you’ve been eating less, trying harder, and still feeling tired, puffy, inflamed, and stuck, your metabolism isn’t broken.
