You are always going to be thinking about food, have mental food noise, and become obsessed around food if you are in these massive calorie deficits and trying to eat so little calories.
So back when I struggled with this, I was eating in these humongous calorie deficits, where I was trying to eat as little as possible and burn as much as possible.
But this old approach is what made food noise so much harder to deal with and so much louder, because I was eating so little.
Being in massive deficits only make you crave more, have a smaller budget to work with, and be hungry on top of it all.
So one of the biggest things that fixed this is I just ate in a smaller calorie deficit when I tried to lose weight.
Fast-forward to now, this is one of the big premises that we teach in my coaching program, Dieting From the Inside Out.
Most women come to us in these super big deficits wondering why they can't eat more than 1,200 calories or always thinking about food.
So one of the first things that we start them with is we pause weight loss, because the first stage of my program, that's called Dieting From the Inside Out, you have to earn the right to lose weight.
So in that first stage while we're healing the relationship with food, we are actually pulling our clients out of a calorie deficit, out of a diet phase, and finding out and testing their upper limit of calories to see how much they can get away with eating without anything bad happening.
I have lost count of the amount of women who have told me, "Jared, I cannot eat more than 1,200 calories without gaining weight," are now eating 1,700, 1,900, 2,000 calories, and even some 2,500 calories per day plus.
So even in a fat loss phase, the goal is to be in a small calorie deficit, so that way you have more of a budget to work with, so you can eat the foods that you crave and not be a walking, talking, binge-eating, ticking time bomb waiting to go off.
