Don’t fall for the bull 💩
Intermittent fasting is not recommended for active women and most studies are done on men.
Eating too few calories can cause you to store fat.
The scale doesn’t know if it’s weighing muscle or fat so you can’t hinge your “success” on that number.
To get bulky you have to actively train most-all days of the week, lifting a lot heavier than you probably are, eating a ton of food from high quality sources, and so much more. It won’t happen by accident.
Building muscle and losing fat makes you toned. Lift heavy, eat right.
You don’t need a booty sprout or a thigh master or anything else. You just need weights to get started.
Your body needs food. As does your brain.
Everyone’s priorities, genetics, life, etc are not the same so our progress won’t be either.
Train each muscle group at least twice a week and you can see major changes.
Moral of the story: lift heavy, get your steps, try to eat whole foods, eat a ton of protein, get good sleep, and keep your mindset locked in.
There’s no gatekeepers here!

Intermittent fasting is a popular trend, but its benefits for active women are often overstated. Research typically focuses on men, leaving women at a disadvantage. Women require adequate fuel to support their bodies, particularly during rigorous workouts. Consuming fewer than 1400 calories per day can lead to unwanted fat storage, instead of fat loss. It's crucial to differentiate between muscle and fat when tracking progress; scales don't tell the whole story. To build muscle and enhance toning, lifting heavy and maintaining a protein-rich diet are essential. High-rep, low-weight routines can lead to a lack of muscle building, contrary to popular belief. Ditch the gimmicky equipment—traditional weights are effective and necessary. Prioritize training each muscle group at least twice a week to see significant changes. Moreover, good sleep and a positive mindset play vital roles in achieving fitness goals. Everyone’s fitness journey differs due to genetics and personal circumstances, so avoid comparing yourself to others. Focus on lifting heavy, consuming whole foods, and staying consistent for optimal results.
