Exactly what my trainer has been telling me. And going to the gym has been one of the best decisions of my life. 1, 5 years and counting. 38 y.o. I've lost a substantial amount of fat, retained and even built a little bit of muscle. Will keep building muscle after I've lost the excess fat entirely. Will keep working on myself, eating the right amounts of protein, carbs and fat - and feeling great! No back pain, no panting after taking the stairs. I am springy and light as a feather. Life is wonderful!
Balanced diet is not enough. You have to eat only when you're hungry. Most of times we're not even hungry but thirsty and we tend to mix up the two sensations.
I wish this were true but it’s not, at least for me. I’ve been Very consistent for 14 years with about 10% or less body fat and to this day my body doesn’t tell me the truth on thirst or hunger. My mind is what has controlled the outcome, not my feelings.
100% confirmation - I’m in better shape and look better at 45 than I did at 25. I started lifting weights three times a week 7 months ago - and the shift and change in my chest, arms and shoulders is crazy. I was obese largely due to a toe amputated as a kid. From 30 I was Taking daily muscle relaxers and pain tablets for my back. For 15 years I Didn’t eat much (one meal a day) but just kept getting larger as I couldn’t do cardio. At 45 metabolism is slower but I have used that to add protein and build muscle.
I'm 68 soon. On the last day of being 29 I made a decision to exercise every day i could from age 30, and I have. Through Menopause, surgery, Hashimotos and now struggling to control hpylori I have run, sprinted, swam, lifted weights, walked, done yoga and tai chi and pilates. It's about choosing to be fit and well.
The self-worth part hit me hard! It's the reason I'm in behavioral therapy and still overweight right now. But I'm ready facing my demons and so glad there are inspirational people like her around ❤
Mindset is paramount in beginning a journey to being healthy and realizing to only feed your body what it requires. Anyone who doesn't understand this will never get this. ❤ I'm so happy I did!!
She is absolutely right! I have done it all for weight loss. Then I get caught up in life distractions, health issues, time restraints, etc. and let it take over. Instead of rewarding myself with healthy foods and exercise, I catch myself using the easy way out, by getting an unhealthy dinner to go, relaxing after a stressful day, by "resting" and eating an unhealthy meal and not getting enough hours of "good" sleep. I know better, but just fighting fatigue so much, that it becomes overwhelming and I cave in to my bad habits
As an athlete who has more muscle than I've ever had with a layer of fat on top of it I've never had before, I wish I had better advice and I hear this a lot now.
I wish I knew sooner how beneficial weight lifting is for overall health. Women are kind of pushed away from doing weight lifting exercises, but I really think it's necessary on top of healthy eating.
57…..and looking much better, fit and more energic than most people in their 20ties. Listeing to that girl is kind of smarter, than watching series and food commercials on TV.
This may be number 371 of expert weight solutions ive seen so far lol. Its become quite an industry and the trend lately is neuroscience.you dont know what to believe anymore unfortunately.
How about a reduced calorie diet with a balanced amount of protein, fat and carbs. I have counted cals and it is very very difficult to keep carbs at 33%.
How can you expect someone to invest in your channel by subscribing when you lie? I read your headline and waited for the answer to the question and it never came. She never said "do this," instead of.... Wasted my time.
I went through a body building transformation at age 45, and it is completely worth it. A lot of my friends see me and want to do it too, but often don’t follow through. I totally understand though, because it usually takes a traumatic experience to light a fire under my ass. I started because I went thru a painful breakup. It seems trivial looking back but once I enjoy benefits from being in shape, I don’t want to go back. In fact, I almost feel a self hatred for the me before, mentally and physically weak. It sounds unhealthy but it drives me nonetheless.
@gadd... Sir, please can you advise; I am a 40yr old male and went through a painful divorce 3yrs prior and still struggling (although last communication was 9months ago) The pain of separation and loneliness has lit a fire in me, I am training more now and looking after myself and my looks etc. But the pain of the separation and wanting to be with her is still raw and it hurts. In your own experience, can you honestly say it gets easier with time? Did you find someone else and have you fully moved on? You say it seems trivial, and by that I am hoping it means you got over it and are now in a better place? My mental wellbeing is not great and I fear the emotions and feelings will linger within me for many years to come. Any advise parted with would be greatly appreciated!
She’s trying to be a celebrity. Most of what she says is just a regurgitation from her old textbook which makes her sounds lofty and smart but if you cut through she just has a simplistic idea and is probably clueless like most people. Let her fool you. I’d like to ask how to cure a common cold. And she’ll probably say take the jab.
