Real Women Share How Fueling Their Bodies Helped Them Finally See Results

We’ve been taught that eating less is the key to weight loss. Skip meals. Avoid carbs. Cut calories. Push through hunger.

But what if that advice is keeping you stuck?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but the scale won’t budge — or your energy crashes every afternoon — it might be time to consider a different approach.

What if eating more was actually the secret to losing weight?

Here’s how three real women started fueling their bodies better — and finally started seeing real results.

Michelle: Prioritizing Breakfast and Packing Lunch to See Progress

Before joining the Nourished Membership, Michelle wasn’t eating enough during the day. She often skipped breakfast or grabbed something small on the go. Lunch was hit or miss, depending on how busy she was at work.

And by the time dinner rolled around, she was starving — leading to bigger portions, more snacking, and frustration that her efforts weren’t working.

Together, we made a few simple shifts:

She started prioritizing breakfast with balanced meals that included protein and carbs.
She packed a real lunch for work, so she wasn’t stuck relying on snacks or fast food.
She stopped trying to “be good” all day just to lose control at night — and started fueling evenly.

Now? Michelle is eating more than ever… and losing weight. She feels in control, her energy is more stable, and she’s no longer guessing at what to eat.

Brooke: From Stuck and Undereating to Confident and Consistent

Brooke came into the 4-week Nourished Intensive feeling stuck. She was eating very little during the day — often skipping breakfast or having just coffee — hoping that would help her lose weight.

But it didn’t.

She felt tired, sluggish, and frustrated that her clothes weren’t fitting better despite all the effort she was putting in. She was working out but not seeing the results she wanted.

We shifted her focus to eating more, not less:

She boosted her breakfast with protein and healthy fats for fullness and focus.
She started eating consistently throughout the day — no more skipping or grazing.
She added real meals, not just snacks, to support her workouts and her metabolism.

Within weeks, Brooke noticed a difference. Her clothes were looser, her energy was up, and she was feeling more confident in her skin. The scale started moving — but more importantly, she felt good again.

Kelly: Beating Cravings by Fueling Early

Kelly used to think her evening cravings were a willpower problem. Every night, she found herself in the pantry or snacking after dinner, even when she told herself she wouldn’t.

What we uncovered was that her body wasn’t getting what it needed earlier in the day.

Here’s what changed:

She started eating a protein-rich breakfast that actually satisfied her (like eggs, toast, and Greek yogurt).
She built balanced lunches instead of grazing or skipping.
She stopped making dinner the biggest (or only) meal of the day.

When Kelly started eating more — and eating earlier — the cravings disappeared. Her weight started to come down, and she finally felt in control around food again. No more all-or-nothing mindset. Just steady, sustainable progress.
