You've been undereating for years. So why hasn't the weight come off?

It's not the carbs. It's not the fat. And nope, it's not even the sugar. It could be what years of eating less and dieting over and over have done to your metabolism.

Take the 3-minute quiz to find out where your metabolism stands — plus get your FREE Starter Kit showing you how much you should actually be eating and the steps to get your metabolism (and fat loss) moving in the right direction.

Any of this sound familiar?

  • Chronic low energy
  • Weight loss and weight gain cycles, on repeat
  • Endless restrict, binge, food guilt cycles
  • Being perfect all day, then hiding in the pantry bingeing at night
  • Your sex drive has basically left the building
  • Your period is irregular, or it's gone altogether
  • You're gaining weight even though you've been dieting

It's not that you didn't cut enough carbs. It's not the fat, and it's not the sugar. It's the months and years of yo-yo eating, up and down, up and down, and what that did to your metabolism.

Which means the answer isn't the next fad.

It's healing your metabolism.

What's inside

Your Starter Kit, in three steps.

01

Understand it

What a slow metabolism actually is, how it impacts your fat loss, and why yours may have slowed down in the first place. Plus, three short, science backed resources walk you through it, so you finally know what's been happening. Peek my nerdy background below.

02

Do you have a slow metabolism?

A straight yes or no, plus the number your body should be running on and how far you are from it. There's too much information on the internet and I don't like information overload, so I'm here to give you a straight answer. The longer you feel like you're guessing what to do, the longer it's going to take you to lose that fat. I'm not here to waste your time. 🍑

03

Your 5 steps to get started

Five actual things to do, in order, built from your answers. Not a generic checklist and not "eat less, move more", because my guess is you've already done that and it didn't work. Time to actually get you the answers on how to get long-term results.

The part nobody explains

Why your diet stopped working.

Let's say that before you ever dieted, you were eating around 2,000 calories a day. Then one day you decide you'd like to lose some weight. So you download MyFitnessPal (which I don't actually recommend, but that's a whole other conversation 😅) and one way or another, you land at 1,200 calories.

And at first? It works. The weight comes off. You've got energy, you're excited, you're motivated.

Then the weight loss slows down. And then it stalls completely.

And it's not just the scale, is it. Your energy dips. Your digestion goes haywire, you're bloated, you're holding water. You're not sleeping like you used to. Your body just feels… off.

So what do we do about it? We heal your metabolism.

We eat more and do less excessive cardio, very strategically, in order to help that fat loss start happening again. And you get to KEEP the fat loss you worked so hard for, without having to live at 1,200 calories for the rest of your life.

Now I KNOW. This sounds completely wild, and completely backwards to what every diet you've ever done has told you. Cut the food. Do all the cardio.

But if that actually worked… you'd have lost the weight already. And you wouldn't be sitting here reading this page. 😉

Your Starter Kit walks you through how this actually works. 🍑

In their words

What happens when women stop under-eating.

7 lbs down, eating 765 more calories

I'm down 7lbs while eating 765 more calories than when I started 12 weeks ago. I've built a healthier relationship with food, and I feel genuinely happier and so much stronger. My strength has increased tremendously!

Cristina

4 inches down, eating 500+ more calories

Up over 500 calories and down 4 inches which is what I'm focusing on since weight fluctuated over the holiday weekend. This program is incredible.

Eating 500+ more calories, back in her old shorts

I'm eating over 500 calories more and a ton of carbs and put on shorts that I haven't worn since fall and they fit with some room! Love this!

Marci T.

27.9% body fat down to 18%

I have finally achieved a goal I never thought I could, and this new way of eating has become a lifestyle that I know I can maintain. [...] I did an In-body scan today at my gym. Earlier this year I had 27.9% body fat... Today, I came in at 18% body fat! Absolutely unbelievable!!!!

Who's asking

Hi, I'm Caitlen.

I was supposed to be a dentist. Then I spent years in the restrict-binge-guilt cycle myself, wrecked my own metabolism, and got so deep into figuring out why that I ended up writing a master's thesis on it.

Now I coach women out of the same loop. Eating more, not less, and keeping the results.

  • BS in Nutrition & Dietetics, Clemson University
  • MS in Exercise Science & Sports Nutrition, Concordia University Chicago
  • Master's thesis on reverse dieting, metabolic restoration, and how food restriction drives weight regain
  • 10+ years coaching, and more than 3,500 clients

Before you start

The honest answers.

How long does this actually take?

About three minutes. Every question is in there for a reason: your answers are what turn this from a generic guide into a Heal Your Metabolism Starter Kit built around your body and your situation. Nobody else's kit will look like yours.

What is the Starter Kit, exactly?

It's the answer to the question that brought you here: is your metabolism slow, and is that what's been standing between you and fat loss? You get a straight yes or no, where your metabolism is sitting compared to where it should be, and the reasons behind it, pulled from your own answers. Then the action steps: what to stop doing, what to do first, and what healing your metabolism actually involves. It's on screen the second you finish, and a copy lands in your inbox so you still have it next week.

Why do you need my email?

So your results don't vanish the moment you close the tab. You'll also hear from me about metabolism, eating more, and what actually works, and one click unsubscribes you whenever you like. And no, I will never sell your address to anyone. Partly because I'm not tech savvy enough to know how you'd even do that 🤣, and partly because it drives me absolutely bonkers when it happens to me. Not my vibe.

What if it says my metabolism is fine?

Then that's your answer, and it took three minutes to get. Not every result says something is wrong, and knowing your metabolism isn't the problem is just as useful as knowing it is.

You don't get sent away empty handed either. That version of the kit gives you actionable steps to start a safe calorie deficit, so you don't end up with a slow metabolism. 🍑

It was never the carbs.

Three minutes from now you'll know how far your metabolism has slowed, what your number should be, and exactly what to do first. No more guessing. 🍑

Educational estimate only. Not a diagnosis or medical advice.
