Fad diets dont work in the long run . When I was a runway model , brown rice and veggies had me looking like the hanger the clothes came on. I worked the runway with confidence feeling amazing in the clothes ,however I was weak, bony and didnt look good in a swim suit. I had no shape. .
When i quit modeling , i went back to my gym life , ate protein , carbs and veggies . I lifted challenging weights with moderate rest and only did light cardio .
I was almost the same weight a year later , but had more energy, slept better , and rocked my swim suit because I had curves and muscle definition. My other body had used its muscle for energy and stored the minimum amount of calories as fat because I was in such a deficit. My agent didn't want any muscle definition showing. We all looked hollow and our cheek bones were very defined as we had no facial volume. Makeup does wonders from the neck up. Under those clothes was a starving young girl with a boy like figure. .
The scale suggests that skinny fat is what a woman wants . If the scale doesn't drop then we are not changing for the better. .
I'm in my off season as a competitor and have put on 6 lbs ( 4 lbs are of muscle ). My clients dont believe I've gained weight because I've put on muscle and it's more dense then fat. I have to show them that my scale merely suggests that my body is changing for the better and my growth is in all the right places. .
Trust the process and dont fight your body with the lies of a 20 dollar scale . Follow the plan. Stay honest with yourself about what you are contributing to your journey . Your health, your decisions, your results. .
