A certified personal trainer has shared her counterintuitive approach to achieving a leaner body, revealing that consuming more food rather than less transformed her physique within half a year.
Savannah Wright recently addressed her followers with advice that challenges traditional dieting wisdom, explaining how increased calorie intake helped her reach her fitness goals.
"These are the five things that I learnt by eating more that got me leaner and the physique that I wanted, in six months," Wright shared in a recent TikTok clip.
She explained that nourishing her body adequately led to metabolic improvements beyond simple weight changes.

Savannah says nourishing her body adequately led to metabolic improvements

"Feeding my body properly caused it to no longer feel like it was holding onto fat because it didn't know when I was going to feed it," she said.
The trainer noted that her physique responded positively once she abandoned severe caloric restriction.
"Once I started eating more, my body finally relaxed and started taking to the programme that I was on," Wright added.
Maintaining muscle during fat loss requires sufficient caloric and protein intake, with Savannah observing that her energy levels improved considerably when she moved away from drastic cutting approaches.

The personal trainer revealed she now consumes 140 grams of protein daily, a change that has given her greater control over her eating habits.
"Prioritising protein makes me feel more in control," she noted. "I don't have as much food noise."
The trainer acknowledged that previously she had been consuming excessive carbohydrates and processed items while lacking adequate protein. But since switching to whole foods, she has seen drastic improvements in her energy.
She also noted that higher protein and fibre consumption significantly reduces her cravings and leaves her feeling satisfied after substantial meals rather than small portions.
What's more, increasing her food intake substantially reduced her stress levels, particularly after experiencing a difficult period in 2025 involving a dysregulated nervous system.

As a personal trainer, however, Savannah continues to encounter clients who severely restrict their intake to just 1,200 calories daily.
"That is as much as a toddler needs just to function," she observed. "If you want to be lean, it's not about eating less; it's about eating enough.
"You have to shift your mentality from 'less is more' to 'more is substantial, and more is sustainable'."
