Summary:

 

Y’all know I love busting myths, and today I'm tackling some big ones! A lot of what I do is educating women on how our bodies work, especially for my baddies over 40. Our bodies are unique, not just smaller versions of men's bodies, so our training should reflect that!! Without proper training and nutrition, you might look bulky or puffier rather than lean and muscular, but you’re not going to leave the gym ripped to shreds (unless you want to be!). This episode is the first of a two-part series and I dive into how to find the right amount of protein for your body weight and what to do if you’re struggling to see results.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

(04:23 ) - The #1 thing that will change how your body looks

(05:30 ) - How to maximize your muscle gain and minimize your fat gain

(06:38 ) - Find the right amount of protein consumption (for you) based on your body weight

(10:38 ) - Why you’re getting bulkier despite eating more protein 

(12:55 ) - Types of lean protein sources

(14:59 ) - Why you’re gaining weight within a short period after you start weight training (hint: it’s NOT muscle!)

(19:40 ) - My recommendation for new ladies getting into the gym 

(23:42 ) - If you’re struggling with your results and want to see change, remember this!
