Listen, guys, this is so freaking common, the number of women I meet and work with who, once I get them to log their food for an entire week are undereating is astonishing! Most of the time they are not even ‘underweight’, in fact, most of the time they are carrying a lot more extra body fat than they would like. Weird right?! Have we not been told calories in vs calories out = weight loss? Well yes, this does work but only if you have had a chance to reverse your diet back up to at least your maintenance calories!

Alright let's talk about physical activity, the brain and your mood. In this article I will explain how physical activity has been studied and shown to produce positive changes in the neurobiology ( the physical changes to the brain tissue) and neurochemistry ( the chemical changes ) of the brain. I will also talk about how these changes have positive effects in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
