Ask yourself these questions, and I'm not trying to challenge you but instead to move you forward:
If you eat every 3 hours you re FEEDING your body the energy that it needs to burn off the calories that your using douring your excerisze. It's SO common to not eat enough, food is NOT the enemy. If you're working hard in the gym you need to properly refuse your body otherwise it's gonna be a sentient battle and you're body is trying to say to you "MmmMmm, I am NOT getting rid of this fat. You aint feeding me! So Imma hold onto this cause I NEED it. Mmmmmkay?!"
I'm just saying'!
Your food could look something like this! It doesn't need to be professional, but eat yummy healthy food and eat often!
If this is your first program of high intensity or if you JUST started hitting the gym really hard, your body could be holding onto water weight like a crazy person as well. So you need to DRINK more water. 1 gallon per day is IDEAL, but if you can make that happen at least ensure you get 8 glasses of generous water. Your body is gonna have a cortisol response to the stress and waters gonna trap around the muscle tot ry to protect it. This happens to women a lot. If it's week 6 and you're still not seeing results than thats not the issue, but if you're on week 2-3 this could be the reason. Don't get discourages, and keep going!
Take the body image OUT of the equation and look at your fitness level for a minute. Are you improving? Can you last longer? Are you feeling stronger doing other activities throughout the day? If yes, then you are on your way. Some people will not see "physical" results during the first 45 days of their program and in the last month will lose 30 lbs. You need to trust the process and do the WHOLE program. You can do it!! You just need to give yourself more time.
- Drink more water.
- Eat more healthy food THROUGHOUT the day, and eat enough.
- Be patient! <-- I know, not fun. But seriously!! You're in this for the long haul anyways, and when summer rolls around you'll be glad you didn't give up.
Much love!! xoxox
