Food is fuel

Motivation

Hello workout friends I see so many people (especially women, but definitely also men) under eating and over working. One of the greatest lessons I learned from bodybuilding is FOOD IS FUEL! whole foods, from the earth or an animal (vegans dont come at me, i am not super knowledgeable about that lifestyle and i know a lot of vegans who do it this way) Everyone is terrified of getting fat, so they restrict heavily and do more work. I promise that a more balanced approach will lead to better gains and overall health and wellbeing. I keep processed foods to a minimum, because I know how fueled and full I am on whole foods. I eat a wide variety. All the colors. Different protein sources. Different fats. Everyone has a preferred diet style, yes, but if youre not making the progress you desire, consider changing it up. 4 days in the gym is definitely plenty if you are training hard enough. In my experience, more is rarely better. My husband has been a functional health coach for years and almost every person is doing way too much. I eat average 2500cals daily, only train 3x a week, and only go for walks. And I am in the body of my dreams this way. Women, fats are so essential for our hormone production!! Please don't neglect them! Stress management is KEY! all types of stress, physical load and mental load. Enough water and salt, and add some magnesium glycinate. You don't need a bunch of supplements. It really is more simple than influencers and such portray!! ✌️💪
