#307 - From Restriction to Freedom: Mel’...

KITTY BLOMFIELD
About this episode

I recently had an incredible chat on the podcast with one of our amazing clients, Mel, who shared her inspiring transformation story that I think so many of you will relate to. If you've ever struggled with yo-yo dieting, food restriction, or felt like you’ve tried everything and still aren’t seeing results, you’re going to want to tune in to this one.

Mel’s journey started just like so many women out there – battling body image issues since childhood, jumping from one restrictive diet to another (Keto, anyone?), and feeling completely lost, exhausted, and miserable. She even reached a point where she didn’t want to leave the house. Sound familiar?

What changed for her? Joining our program, which taught her how to eat in a way that actually fuels her body, enjoy food again (yes, she’s now loving carbs like orange juice and rice pudding!), and embrace strength training. She stopped obsessing over the scale and started focusing on building muscle, and guess what? She’s now 9kg down, 17.5% body fat, and feeling stronger and more confident than ever before. 🙌

Here are a few gems from Mel’s story that we talked about on the podcast:

👉How she finally found food freedom and stopped the binge-restrict cycle for good.

👉Why learning to eat more (yes, MORE) has been the key to her fat loss and muscle-building success.

👉How our program helped her fix her relationship with food and her body, ditch the guilt, and stop being controlled by the scale.

👉The incredible improvements in her energy, mood, and even her hair and skin!

If you’ve been trying to starve yourself skinny, or can’t seem to break the cycle of bingeing and restricting, this episode is for you. Mel’s experience shows what’s possible when you stop focusing on the 👉number on the scale and start fuelling your body to feel strong, energised, and empowered!
