Just wanted to come on here and talk to the girlies to say that I’ve learned a LOT lately about the differences for women when it comes to physical health and wellness and specifically a few ways that make a huge difference for us in weight loss/strength gains.
Anyone who’s interested definitely check out Stacy Sims’ research on the subject, but the TLDR; of it is that I’ve tried some of these things and they’ve made a huge different for me. Specifically:
-
Eating at least 15g of protein within half an hour of waking up. It was SO hard for me to start this habit but it’s made an enormous difference in my energy, mood, and weight loss.
-
Lifting heavy 1-2x per week.
-
Short bursts of going as hard as I can (running, specifically) with short rests, 3x. It makes the body increase capability because you show it what the current limit is. The body will adjust based on the physical stressors it’s given. Side note though I worked up to this. I’ve lost 40lbs so far and it wasn’t until the last few weeks where I’ve started to be able to do this.
-
SO much water
-
20-30 minutes of cooldown yoga after cardio and weights.
Anyway, that’s all! Check out her research and keep your body in mind - not everything that works for men works for us, ESPECIALLY fasting. Research how the female body works if you have one and notice where the research lacks. You’ll probably be as shocked and mad as I am when you see how little the research actually represents us and how our bodies function differently than men.
Good luck!
