The  Metabolism Rehabilitation Guide is UP!

I'm sure it is a work in progress, but I did my best to make it short and to the point. :)

Please check it out and share it with anyone you know who may have a slow metabolism or eating disorder! My goal is to help as many people as possible to be able to eat more without weight gain--ultimately increasing quality of life. I'm just a normal girl who had an eating disorder and decided to do some truth searching. I am still pretty shocked with what I found and "experimented" myself... I hope to help people who are out there struggling as I once did.

Please share this. I think the world needs to know about Metab Rehab!

Super interesting stuff. I came back from vacation having gained 2 lbs and have already lost 1 lb in 2 days from eating last week's 117/171/36 macros. Remember, last week's stats were based off of an AVERAGE of pre and post vaycay BF% and weight. Therefore, since I am losing weight eating last week's macros, I will continue to add in 10C and 2F this week. I think eating a little more on vacation possibly raised my metabolic rate more than usual. That is pure speculation, but it would explain why I am now losing weight on last week's macros. And that's a beautiful thing!! :)

Now I am over 1,500 calories! On this day three months ago, I was eating less than 1000 calories. Before that, I was eating 700 calories a day for 6 years straight. It still feels like a dream come true.

I will definitely keep an eye on my BF% as it seems to be slowly increasing. That's just how it goes with a reverse diet and I'm cool with it. I will be able to easily cut off any "fluff" once I get my calories crazy high. Dieting at that point will be like a pre-reverse diet binge ;P! Seriously, it's insane! I just FEEL so amazing right now. I have so much energy, I have confidence in who I am, and for the first time in my life I can honestly say that I love myself exactly how God made me--heart, soul, mind and body. That is what defines me, not a number on a scale or body fat percentage. It's such a liberating state of being.

Today may be a double-posting day as I will attempt to get my "Metab Rehab" section up for ya! My goal with this little guide is to help as many people as I can to rehabilitate their metabolisms--to eat a ton more and not gain weight! So… BRB. ;)

I had a little down time this past week on vacation, so I decided to chart out my reverse diet data so far (and also because I am a nerd, lets get real). Pretty freaking cool. As you can see, as calories increase at a slow and steady linear rate, weight and body fat remain the same. This looks very similar to a hypothetical chart proposed by Dr. Layne Norton in his video on Reverse Dieting, which is exactly what I hoped and hypothesized would happen.

I will continue to update this graph as I progress with my reverse diet in the months to come. I expect that the weight and body fat line may rise SLIGHTLY towards the end while the calories slope will begin to level off to an eventual flat line. In other words, when my body fat and weight finally begin to increase, I will be adding in calories at a slower rate. I'd love for the calories line to continue increasing at a steady rate and my weight and body fat lines to stay the exact same for a looooong time, but we will have to wait and see. I'm so curious to see how many calories my body can handle. I will most likely do a "mini cut" after this reverse diet, followed by another cycle of reverse and mini cut with the goal of maxing out my metabolism while staying relatively lean. Ultimately, I'd love to be pretty ripped year round by having a high metabolic rate so that "dieting" for me would be eating like 1800-2000 calories/day or something crazy. 

To break down my ultimate goal into one simple equation: Lean physique + ice cream = happy Cait :)

Now onto this weeks stats...

In case you missed a few posts back, I had a 10-day family vacation and just got back to Nashville last night. There was no way to take measurements as I usually do on Wednesday, so I decided to take them right before and right after (this morning) and average the two for week 11 data. There was no gym access, so I brought free weights and a resistance band and just tried my best. It was definitely not up to par with my typical training, but oh well. I was a human on vacation with my family, and I loved every moment! I was over on my macros some, as evidenced by the 2 lbs that I gained. It could have been worse and I am actually pretty damn proud of myself for sticking to it as hardcore as I did. So I will not beat myself up and I will NOT starve myself to get back down two pounds. I will simply tell you like it is when things like this happen and continue on with the Macro Experiment. In fact, I will utilize those extra vacation carbs to kill it in the gym this week. ;) I will also be taking measurements in two days (this Wednesday) and I expect my weight to still be slightly above the usual 110, but hopefully that will come back down a bit after my body settles into its routine. So here is all the data thus far:

STATS:

I'm putting two asterisks next to this weeks (and probably next weeks) data to notate the vacation and how macros were slightly off. I am not a super human contained in a vacuum-sealed laboratory. "I'm just a girl in the world…" (No Doubt reference ;P) I am not perfect, but I will be very clear in disclosing those limitations/imperfections of the experiment when they occur. So there ya go.

This post is getting long so I'll wrap it up. I do want to mention that this week, I will be keeping my macros the same as last week (not adding any) because I want my body to get back to the homeostasis it was used to before vacation. I'll be keeping it at 117P/171C/36F. Also, I'm putting some finishing touches on the "Metab Rehab/Reverse Diet" guide so check back for that section soon! Much love! :)

Hi friends! :) Just wanted to give a quick heads up. Starting today (Sunday) I will be on vacation with my family on a tiny island off the coast of North Carolina. I have been looking forward to this for so long!

As far as this vacation's implications on the Macro Experiment, I will not be able to take measurements on Wednesday as I usually do because there is no scale at the beach house. SO I've decided to take two measurements this week: one today and one next Monday when I return. I may end up averaging them for week 11 data. I know it may seem like a minor detail to write a whole blog post about, but I want to be PERFECTLY clear on my data tracking procedures to make this experiment as reliable/valid as humanly possible.

Also, I've been chugging along with the IIFYM/Reverse Dieting step-by-step guide! It's coming along and I'm praying it will help at least someone out there! I'm also making a FAQ section so if you have any specific questions, throw them at me and it may end up in the guide! Much love!

Holy crap. SOMEONE PINCH ME. Is this real life?!?!

1400+ calories.

Originally I intended for this to be a secret blog to keep myself accountable. Now I can't imagine keeping this a secret. I'm no instafamous fitness model, bodybuilding competitor, or expert. I'm just a normal person who had a crazy slow metabolism due to starving myself for six years. I went from being depressed, isolated, and afraid to the happiest I have ever been in my life because of this "macro experiment". I am not exaggerating. No more fear of ANY food whatsoever, no more eating disorder.

I have gone from 947 calories to 1,418 calories (+471 calories) in a little over 2 months. I'll keep adding in calories until I max out my metabolic capacity without weight/fat gain.

Someone please tell me -- why the heck does the world not know about this?!?! I am going to do everything in my power to share this evidence. Please spread the word with me. I am living, breathing proof that the metabolism can be reversed! People can eat a ton more and not get fat! Isn't that everyone's dream come true?? Oh, and by the way, I've had a massive bowl of REAL ice cream EVERY NIGHT during this entire process. Just had to throw that out there too. You don't have to SUFFER by eating bland boring food. You can eat whatever you want, whenever you want as long as you follow a few simple guidelines.

Sorry for this epic soap box post, but I just cannot help myself! I am so passionate about this I LIT-CH-RALLY want to yell it from a mountain top. If I were near one, I would be up there right now yelling like a crazy person! But alas, I am in Nashville so maybe I'll just write a song about it. Hardy har har. :P

In other news, I am working on a new addition to this blog. I am making a straight-forward, streamlined, step-by-step guide in layman's terms to reversing/rehabilitating the metabolism. I want people to know I have no ulterior motives so I'm NOT going to sell it. It's my desire to share the gift that has been given to me with anyone who has struggled as I have. I've spent the last year gleaning from tons of different sources and watching a few others do it on instagram, etc. Now I can say I am SUCCESSFULLY coaching myself through this reverse diet. I know how it works. I want to take all my knowledge and experience and STREAMLINE it for YOU in a way that is not overwhelming. I want to create the kind of guide that I wish I would have had when I first started out.

SO STAY TUNED. I'm working hard to get that section up ASAP! I'm also thinking about doing some V-logs. Kind of nervous about that because I am such a dork, but you already know that about me anyways so I might as well just go for it, eh??

I've been getting more and more emails from people all over the world with incredible stories. Just this morning, I was reading another email that moved me to tears it was so similar to my own… Please don't hesitate to email me you guys. I would love to be a friend and help support you in this or answer any questions! Love you all!

I cannot believe there is only one more week until I hit my first GOAL--1400 calories! This is insane. In two months, I have added 400+ calories into my daily intake and LOST body fat/weight. Words cannot express how happy I am! I was so scared it was too good to be true… but this experiment is proving that metabolic adaptation exists and can go the other direction without weight gain! AND WITHOUT A COACH! If only people KNEW about this! In a world of quick fixes, crash dieting, and subsequent metabolic damage, I know this could change the world like it has changed my life!

So anyways guys… this week I am quitting cardio!! I had to post this legendary meme from one of my favorite movies to celebrate. :P But for real, I am quitting "cardio" (as in treadmills/elliptical/stairmaster/etc). I started this experiment at 2x 20 min HIIT sessions a week, dropped to 1x 20 min HIIT session about a month ago… as of this week my only form of cardio will be a 5-minute warm up and the usual heavy lifting with minimal rest.

"WHY" you ask? Cardio is not necessary for my goals of increased metabolic rate and muscle hypertrophy (aka eating more and getting ripped). Cardio is also NOT necessary for fat loss! It sounds CRAZY to most people, but it's just science. In fact, there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that shows low intensity steady state cardio (LISS) can impede fat loss and lower metabolic rate over time. In this video, Matty Fusaro explains it very well. High Intensity Interval Training, on the other hand, is an excellent tool to help with fat loss and you will see a lot of competitors upping HIIT during a cut. It's just not absolutely necessary. And I personally don't enjoy it. So I'm quitting, at least for the time being! Plus, I thought it would be a fun little factor to throw into the experiment.

Eating more, quitting cardio, and getting ripped. I'll take it!!

My heart and my purpose for this blog is to help YOU do it too. YOU DO NOT NEED A COACH to reverse your metabolism unless you have a medical/thyroid condition, in which case, seek medical help. Go to the resources page of this website and do your research! If I can do it you can do it! But just know, I am absolutely here for you if you need guidance, advice, a plan of action, or just a friend to talk to about your struggles! I will NOT charge anything. My heart is to share this happiness that I have found. I have spent the last six years struggling with an eating disorder and metabolic damage… I have prayed for so long for God to remove this "thorn" from my life. I am so thankful He did and lead me to discover a way out. Seriously do not hesitate to contact me. I love you guys!! We are in this together!! :)

This weekend I went to Chicago, so I thought I'd write a little bit about how to stay on track during vacation! 

But first, can I just freak out for a second?? My original goal was to be at 1400 calories by November-ish… and I'm already at 1300 calories!!!!!! w0000000t!!!!! 
Ok, I'm good. Just had to nerd out for a sec. :P

Alright, where was I? Ah, yes. Flexible dieting by definition is the ability to be FLEXIBLE with your diet. It should NOT rule your life. Actually, it should make life easier and allow you to ENJOY spending time with family and friends without anxiety and fear associated with food. I was able to try it out vacation-style this weekend in Chicago and it freaking WORKED!

I did not gain a single pound this weekend. I enjoyed some legit Chicago pizza, a glass of wine, ice cream and other fun foods and adventures with my family. I was able to fit everything into my macros! No guilt, no fear, just straight up awesomeness. So here's a quick list of tips for using IIFYM on vacation!

1) Eating Out - Look up the macros/nutritional information for the restaurant beforehand and plug in what you want into your day FIRST. Then fit everything else you are eating in around that meal. If the restaurant doesn't have nutritional information available, look up a similar item. For example, I really wanted Lou Malnatti's Pizza (my absolute favorite) but the wait was 2 hours long! So we decided to go to a smaller, local pizza restaurant without any nutritional information. It worked out just fine and I'm sure the macros were close enough. :) It's about all flexibility, my friends.

2) Fiber, Fiber, Fiber - Sometimes traveling just messes with your system. Sorry to be gross but you know what I'm saying. Getting the right fiber intake while on vacation is crucial. I typically need anywhere from 20-30g. Some of my go-to high fiber items I packed include: fiber one cereal, cocoa powder, fiber one brownies, and quest bars. I also ordered veggies/salads frequently when eating out. Don't neglect fiber and your body will thank you.

3) Pack Food - This goes along with the last tip. Be prepared AKA pack some good carb/protein/fat sources so you can easily fill in your macros around what you are eating that day. Aside from the fiber items I just mentioned I packed: PB2, oatmeal, stevia, chiapop (low cal, high fiber popcorn), beef jerky, protein bars, fat-free pringles, and some home-made reeses protein brownies (definitely will post recipe soon, sooooo good)! I also went to trader joe's and bought some more popcorn and some nonfat greek yogurt. 

4) Bring a food scale - This kinda depends on your current goals. For me, I have this blog holding me accountable and I want to be as accurate with my reverse diet as humanly possible for the sake of the macro experiment. I want others to see my weekly stats and understand exactly HOW many macros I added per week and WHY so that they can accurately reverse diet on their own, just like I'm doing. That's my goal right now. SO… I weighed pretty much everything. Yep, I even discreetly popped that sucker out of my purse in restaurants. I did it for you guys! Aint no shame in my game! ;)

5) Request a fridge and microwave in your hotel room - Call in advance and see what the situation is. Try your best to get a fridge and microwave in your room. It just makes life easier.

6) How to count Alcohol Macros - I am specifically trying not to drink alcohol during this reverse diet because it does slightly mess with the metabolism. It's not very significant, but it does mess with it. Anyways, I did have a glass of wine with my pizza the other night because I wanted to. And I counted it into my macros. Here's how:  If you tend to run out of carbs quicker than fats, count the alcohol macros as FAT simply by dividing the # of calories in the drink(s) by 9 and counting them as fat macros. If you tend to run out of fats quicker than carbs, count the alcohol macros as CARBS by dividing the # of calories in the drink(s) by 4 and counting them as carb macros. It's actually pretty simple! Just don't get crazy with alcohol. Excess is no bueno.

7) Keep training - Call ahead and/or look online and see what the gym situation is like. Coordinate your work outs with what is available at the gym. If you have no gym access, have a plan to do bodyweight exercises like tricep push ups, bicycle crunches, squats, lunges, plyo stuff… just whatever will keep your heart rate up and your muscles trained. It's definitely possible without gym equipment. That's what the internet is for! ;)

8) Maintain Sanity - Don't freak out about perfection. You're on vacation for goodness sake! Like I said earlier, flexible dieting is about being FLEXIBLE. Just do your best, but do NOT freak out if you don't weigh everything down to the last gram or the restaurant doesn't have nutrition information. Another tip I have on that is to order something simple to guesstimate like grilled chicken on a salad. You can't really go wrong with that. But if you happen to eat a little extra ice cream or something, embrace that shiz and enjoy yourself. Just don't binge!!!

So there you go! 8 Tips for staying on track with macros during vacation! I'm actually going on another vacation in a few weeks so I'll need to keep these in mind. ;)

In other news, while in Chicago I was able to find Halo Top Creamery ice cream at the whole foods! They don't currently sell it in Nashville (where I live) so I was super stoked to taste what the hype is all about. I've been seeing this stuff on instagram for months and have been dying to try it.

Soooo yeah. IT IS WORTH THE HYPE. Seriously. Move out da way Arctic Zero!!!! This stuff is so legit. I actually called the whole foods here in Nashville and requested that they carry it. I am that much of an advocate. As you can see, the macros are insane... and the taste… it tasted exactly like straight-up ice cream! It's hard to believe the macros are true on this (but I believe it)! I can't wait to try all the other flavors!!

I feel like this post is getting pretty lengthy! :P I'll save more of my nonsense for next time! I'm thinking of doing another MACRO 101 Post (Part 2) this week with more of my fav tips, tricks, & products! So check back soon for that!

I hope you enjoyed this post and please comment if you have any questions/requests/comments/anything! I would be happy to answer and help you. That's what I'm here for! :) 
Much love!

One of the most important things about this blog is I want to be 100% myself and absolutely transparent with you. If I'm not, then what's the point of this? How will I ever help anyone else who struggles with the same issues as me if I hold back any deeply rooted feelings? So here we go. Brace yourself for some Cait heart/mind/soul-spillage.

I am feeling bummed that my body fat % is up by a few decimals this week. I know that weight fluctuates and everything, but I was definitely stoked on the direction it was moving before. I won't let that get me down though! I'm going to keep moving forward with this reverse diet no matter what. I do know that last night (before I measured) I drank a LOT of water right before bed and was only asleep for 3-4 hours, which is not typical for me. I'm hoping that had something to do with it. Or maybe my metabolism isn't keeping up with the speed that I'm adding calories in. Either way, I will keep my eye on the prize--FOOD & MUSCLES!

Due to this slight fluctuation/increase I'm going to give my body some extra time to adjust by lowering my macro increases this week. I have decided to not add any carbs and just increase 2g of fat. I'm playing it safe but not stopping! I will never give up.

So… If you've ever read the about section of the blog, you will come to find I'm a very sensitive person especially when it comes to body image. I have some deep hurt in that area that stems back to being very overweight for the majority of my childhood. I'm thankful that I was so overweight because it has shaped me into a compassionate/sympathetic person, but I still struggle with negative thoughts about my body. So, whoever is reading this, your prayers would be so much appreciated. And if you ever need prayer about anything please, please post a comment or message me and I WILL pray for you. Ultimately, loving God and loving people is all that matters in life. I need to be reminded of the bigger picture sometimes, especially during weeks like this when I'm feeling down on myself for such trivial matters.

This week marks a milestone in my life! I had my first hamburger in 10 years.  Sounds ridiculous because most people eat hamburgers every day, but it was a HUGE feat in the life of Cait! I have always been afraid of hamburgers. I thought they were evil and would magically make me turn into a big fat blob. I proved myself wrong! I ate a hamburger, chips, salsa, a salad, and ice cream for dessert! And it was GLORIOUS. And I didn't gain ONE pound. My metabolism is on FIYAHHH!!

I am now over 1200 calories! YESSS! I'm actually starting to reach the "normal" range! I can't believe it! At this rate, in one month I'll be at 1400! I am so happy. :)


I've decided to change up my macro ratio slightly by increasing fats to about 20-23% instead of 15-18%. I've noticed this being a more typical range for other macro chicks like myself, so I just want to try it out! I decided to add 2g fat this week to start increasing that percentage.

Into week 7 we go!!

I was PERFECT on my macros up until this week. I have to be completely honest on here for the sake of the validity and reliability of this experiment. So every time I am over or under on macros, I will absolutely be posting with that information on my weekly stats updates.

The weird thing, though, is that this week I was significantly over on carbs on the fourth of July. That was the only day I was off. I went to a party and was just like, "screw it, I need to live life." So I am guessing that I ate about 100-200 grams over my usual carb intake. The next day I was up on the scale +2 lbs. After that day, I went back to being on POINT with my macros and was -2 lbs the next day. So obviously, the carbs made me absorb water, which got flushed out immediately when my body went back to what it was used to. A little voice in the back of my mind was telling me to go under on macros to make up for the abundance, but I forced myself not to. I will NOT go back to my previous dangerous habits of feeling guilty for fueling my body and starving myself. Nope, that was the old Cait. Anyways, my speculation is that I had an inadvertent reefed day and my leptin levels increased, causing a drop in body fat. Totally a hypothesis, but… interesting stuff!

SO! As of this week, I have dropped 2% body fat and have increased my calories by over +200 already! IT'S WORKING!

K I'm going to go make sweet potato pancakes and top it with cinnamon bun ice cream. I'm all about those ice cream gainz.
