Undereating can be surprisingly counterproductive, leading to weight gain instead of loss. Losing weight often includes muscle loss, which impacts recovery and performance. Sleep issues, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances are also common pitfalls. The podcast discusses how restrictive eating can leave you nutrient-deficient and trigger bingeing. It emphasizes the importance of balanced nutrition and strength training for achieving and maintaining health.
