Imagine this....

You have a toned sexy body you love. You’re able to maintain your figure and weight all year long by consuming foods you actually enjoy. You never starve yourself or feel deprived. You eat when you’re hungry and rarely feel the urge to binge. Your body feels satisfied. You’re in full control of your nutrition, workouts, and weight.
You👏🏼are👏🏼THRIVING👏🏼

No this isn’t a dream. It’s the reality many women are living right now and could also be you.

Say it with me: You don’t need an eating disorder, fad diet, to starve yourself, or to remove an entire food group from your diet in order to have the body you love❤️

What you need is someone to give you the tools to properly control you nutrition habits and workout routine the RIGHT way that allows for a sustainable body composition.

The reality is you can eat more calories than you probably think while achieving your body goals. Not only that, you can consume a wide variety of foods and delicious recipes.

3 reasons why cardio isn’t as ideal for weight loss as you may think⚠️⚠️⚠️

1️⃣ Your body adapts to reduce its energy expenditure
-The more you do a certain type of exercise, the more your body adapts to increase efficiency, leading to a decrease in calories burned. This causes people to believe they are burning more calories during aerobic exercise then they really are...leading to overeating and eventually weight loss plateaus🤯
2️⃣It’s easy to consume the calories you burn
-Sure 30 minutes of intense cardio may burn a few hundred calories, but you can easily consume those calories back. A few hundred calories could be equivalent to a simple couple of handfuls of nuts and a fruit. That’s why doing cardio isn’t enough, you must monitor food/beverage intake.
3️⃣Cardio doesn’t preserve muscle
You may say weight loss is the goal, but what you REALLY mean is you want to lose fat and not muscle. What the scale says isn’t near as significant as body composition (the amount of muscle and fat in your body). Yes, if you starve yourself and do excessive cardio you will lose weight but it’s going to be muscle loss and that is not going to give you the figure you are seeking. The key 🔑 here is resistance training! 💪🏼 If you want to lose fat and maintain or gain muscle then weight training MUST be part of workout regimen.
