Meet Brooke Sobh: I had always been very thin growing up. This was not because “my metabolism was high”, this was because I pretty much dieted my whole life. I did every sport you could think of growing up and eventually got into running. The more I ran, the more weight I lost. It got to a point where I was 100 lbs. soaking wet, but still running 10 miles a day (everyday!) and barely eating.

This worked for almost 8 years, until it didn’t. After college, I started gaining weight very quickly, despite how much I was running or how little I was eating. I was freaked out! I kept asking myself, “what is going on?! This is so weird, I’m doing everything right!”. I was miserable, exhausted, puffy, tired, hungry, etc. I didn’t know what to do or where to go from here. If you’re here reading this, you might relate.

In 2018 I looked into reverse dieting and macro counting and read/listened to everything I could get my hands on to learn what was going on with my body. Eventually, I realized my metabolism had tanked and I needed to eat more and workout less. Who would have thought? This was totally against what society tells us!

Within a year, I was able to lose 20 lbs. while eating more and working out less. It was a slow and steady process of gradually increasing calories but thankfully I’m finally at a happy place and have been here for 6 years now (with a few babies in between). Now, I feel amazing, I eat what I want, I’m not exhausted and I have all the energy in the world.

I look back now and I am so thankful I had to go through this process because I want to help as many women as I can get out of this dieting rut!!

If you feel like you’re undereating or over exercising but gaining weight, don’t worry.. you’re not broken and there is hope.
