Transcript
- 0:00Hey there, Casey Shipp here.
- 0:01I help high performance women lose weight without cardio while enhancing and optimizing their hormones to get better results with less effort.
- 0:09Today, we're going to be going over reverse dieting.
- 0:12So many women, and by the way, if you're like, what do you know?
- 0:15I've been doing this for 15 years.
- 0:17I have a total hysterectomy.
- 0:18Two kids, overcome hypothyroid.
- 0:20PCOS depression, cystic acne.
- 0:23You name it, but IBS, I had every issue in the book.
- 0:27I've paid thousands of dollars for trainers and did supplements and diet after diet.
- 0:31I probably understand what I'm talking about.
- 0:33And finally I figured out.
- 0:35We have a trauma informed approach to fitness.
- 0:37We look at the mind, body, soul aspect.
- 0:40We go deep within the nervous system and we clear out the root issue.
- 0:42And I have a quiz.
- 0:43If you want it, you can just drop quiz and we'll send it to show you the hidden wounds inside of your nervous system.
- 0:49That's actually causing the root issue of the yo dieting, the hormonal problem, no energy and all of that, I would show up at the gym.
- 0:55I'm doing all the work.
- 0:56I'm doing all the stuff.
- 0:58But I'm not getting the results.
- 0:59And it's just not there.
- 1:00And something was missing.
- 1:02So I get a lot of women in my DMs that tell me what they're eating.
- 1:07They're going to the gym, they're doing all this stuff.
- 1:08And let me say, if you go to the gym, Three, four times, five times a week, you need to be eating 2, 000 calories.
- 1:15Unless you're five foot, you can get by with eating a little bit less, but most women that I see come through the DMs, the applications, they're under eating.
- 1:25We know where this comes from, right?
- 1:27Eat less, And you lose weight.
- 1:29If that were the case, then all of the women and everybody could just eat a little less and get results.
- 1:35What happens is your body starts building a resistance to something called metabolic damage.
- 1:40And honestly, if you're over 30, you've had kids or not.
- 1:44If you're just over 30, if you've done previous dieting in the past, chronic dieting, I've always tried to stay fit or maybe just being a human being and running hard in your twenties in survival mode, running on low food and no sleep, all that stuff.
- 1:57It just damages our.
- 1:58Our endocrine system and we get metabolic damage sometimes.
- 2:00Now the good news is that it's reversible.
- 2:03So I want to go over a thing about reverse dieting and you're probably like, huh?
- 2:07So think about it like this.
- 2:09If dieting is taking away calories, we're going to slowly add back in calories.
- 2:14Don't freak out yet and you're going to get lean.
- 2:17We reverse diet every client that comes in.
- 2:20So like this lady right here, she's 50 years old right here, and had hormonal issues, gut issues, all the things, but she was showing up at the gym.
- 2:29She was eating like 1700 calories.
- 2:31So here's how to reverse diet.
- 2:33I want you to, this is assuming that you are keeping up with what you're eating, whether you're tracking macros or you're just measuring, or you know how much you're eating because it's like money.
- 2:42If you want to improve your money situation, you need to know what you're spending and how much you're making.
- 2:47It's the same.
- 2:47So if you get triggered by, Weighing your food or tracking your food.
- 2:52That's an indicator that there's something there that we get to clear out because you don't always need to track.
- 2:57You just need to track while you're actively rebuilding your metabolism, because that's information.
- 3:02What gets tracked and measured gets results, but you don't need this forever.
- 3:08I've gone months.
- 3:09I've gone years without tracking and I'm fine.
- 3:12But I spent years figuring out how to do this.
- 3:15Okay.
- 3:15One thing, first thing you're going to do is get the food and gut sensitivity tests.
- 3:20It's going to tell you what you can and can't have, what causes the inflammation.
- 3:23It's easy.
- 3:24It's 40 bucks or so.
- 3:25And it's going to say, Hey, don't eat apples, or something like that.
- 3:28You're going to do that.
- 3:29And now if there's any emotions tied to this, if there's feelings of, Oh man, I can't do that.
- 3:34Or, There's just emotions here.
- 3:36There's resistance around not even wanting to do it.
- 3:39That's an indicator that there's something beneath the surface in the nervous system that doesn't feel safe.
- 3:44So we need to look at that.
- 3:45That's the trauma aspect that we teach.
- 3:47That's where we need to go in and we need to clear that so you can actually take the steps towards getting the body and help that you want and deserve.
- 3:55So for those of you that don't get triggered for that and you're actually wanting just the steps, so I want you to get the food and gut test.
- 4:00You'll know exactly what you can and can't have.
- 4:02That's first number one because you're eating the things, but what if what you're eating, even though your intent is good, what if it's causing inflammation?
- 4:10What if your body doesn't like it?
- 4:11So be sure to get that food and gut test.
- 4:12And if you want that, just put fitness below and we'll send it.
- 4:16Number two, if you're doing any cardio, I want you to cut it back by half.
- 4:20So whatever you're doing, cut it back by half and don't worry.
- 4:22Everybody thinks they're going to gain weight.
- 4:24Here's the deal.
- 4:26Most of the time you're going to start losing because your body's in starvation mode.
- 4:31We'll look at everything and tell you here's what the issue is.
- 4:34Let's boost this or let's take this down.
- 4:35We have doctors that work with us.
- 4:37So if you're doing cardio, I want you to cut that back in half.
- 4:40Okay, decrease it until you're doing eventually no cardio.
- 4:45So this is gonna take four to eight weeks.
- 4:48Next, go ahead.
- 4:50This should actually be step two.
- 4:51I'll probably move it.
- 4:51I want you to check your body fat.
- 4:53We need a baseline body fat, not BMI.
- 4:55Body fat is what we care about.
- 4:56So you need to be tracking your body fat and your weight.
- 4:59Okay, if that triggers you, this is where the trauma informed comes in because there's an emotional charge that we get to go in explore and clear out so it's not even there and now it's wow Men in black kind of thing now you're just all of a sudden doing the stuff you need to be doing to get results Okay.
- 5:15So now you're going to start tracking exactly what you eat.
- 5:17And I give you a guide on how to do that, how to track.
- 5:20And we have actually this macro calculator.
- 5:23If you want it, we'll also give you that.
- 5:25So honestly, whenever you message me, whenever you message fitness, what we're going to do, it's, we're going to ask you a couple of questions.
- 5:32My bot's going to ask you two questions based on how you answer those.
- 5:35Then we, Me or my partner step in and help you.
- 5:39So we just need a couple of things doing some gatekeeping because a lot of people want this, but we only like working with action takers, the ones that are actually going to stay there for the conversation.
- 5:48So once we do the conversation, We're going to start asking some questions and that's when we can send you this or the hormone accelerator or something like that.
- 5:56We actually just want to help you inside of the DM.
- 5:58That's it.
- 5:59So if you want this, let me know, this is obviously just a plain little macro calculator, but the thing that makes it different is this, what we do is we actually base things on hormones.
- 6:12So if you have Hashimoto's or metabolic damage, you're going to select 1.
- 6:15This is my creation because for so many years we worked with women with low hormones, but let's just say she's one 150 and five, five.
- 6:25Alright, so here's the daily what do you call it?
- 6:29What you need to hit.
- 6:30Now, let's say she wants to lose fat.
- 6:321508.
- 6:33That's fine.
- 6:34But this is the macro calculator and what I'd like you to do is go to 30 and we're gonna stay low because she's got Hashimoto's.
- 6:40So we don't want too much protein because that's gonna strain the gut even more because it has to break down all that meat and protein.
- 6:47So here's what we're gonna do.
- 6:48Remember, first, you're going to get your body fat food test and then you're going to track what you eat.
- 6:54I want you to track for a week, see what you add up to.
- 6:58Is it 2, 000?
- 6:58Is it 3, 000?
- 6:59Is it 1, 100?
- 7:01Once you know that, that's going to tell you your maintenance.
- 7:04Hey, you're eating this per week.
- 7:06You can even do it for two weeks if you want like an average mean to see what you hit.
- 7:11Or a whole month to see how you go through your cycles.
- 7:13You may eat more on the week of your cycle and overall for the month, here's what you've eaten.
- 7:18Once you know that you'll know by looking at the data, okay, I am eating typically 1200 calories a day.
- 7:26If I did the math and had to split it up, that's going to tell you, okay, so let's boost it 10%.
- 7:32I want you to add 10 percent get 10 percent of those calories and you're going to add that to the 1200.
- 7:39So whatever 10 percent is of 1200, add that at the 1200.
- 7:42That's your new macros.
- 7:43I give you the calculations inside of the training, but you can do this yourself.
- 7:4910 percent fix your macros, and you're going to do that every week.
- 7:53How do you feel?
- 7:54Are you getting tighter?
- 7:55And you're going to bump it up as much as you can until you stall out and you stay there a while, and you can either add more muscle, tweak your hormones, but eventually you'll get to a point where you're eating.
- 8:06Way more food, and you're doing less workout, and you're getting better results.
- 8:10This here says, if you continue getting leaner, I want you to increase it 10%.
- 8:15Keep adding until you hit your set point.
- 8:19And that's your maintenance calories.
- 8:20That means if you go below, you're going to lose, and your metabolism is going to be so much healthier.
- 8:25And remember, Your exercise.
- 8:28So aim to do about four days a week with two.
- 8:31You don't need to go six days a week anymore, especially if you're a little bit older or there's a hormonal issue.
- 8:38You're welcome to do six days, but you got to make sure your hormones are good and you're sleeping and all that's, on point.
- 8:44To wrap it up, you're going to do, check your body fat, you're going to get the food test, you're going to start tracking, find your main, find out what you're actually eating, you're going to lower your cardio, you can do that first and keep tracking, or you can lower your cardio and increase the calories.
- 9:05It's up to you.
- 9:06If I was working with you one on one, I could give you specific guidance based on your hormones, but since we're not working together, I'm just trying to give you an overall overarching Guidance guide here.
- 9:18So track your calories.
- 9:20If you feel comfortable Reduce cardio keep your calories the same if you feel even more comfortable start bumping your calories up until you reach that 2, 000 mark if you want any of our resources Let me know.
- 9:33But more importantly, if you want help, because some people don't even need our resources, they just need a conversation.
- 9:39They just need to know, Hey, will you look at this and tell me what's off?
- 9:43Yes.
- 9:44So if you want this resource for the reverse dieting blueprint, the Google document, the macro calculator, I want you to put FITNESS in the comments and I'll send it to you.
