Calories give us energy; energy fuels exercise; exercise builds muscles. So, obviously, we need calories to build muscles, right? Kind of.

On 2022’s version of WebMD, aka TikTok, there are videos flying around about how it’s impossible to build up our biceps while in a calorie deficit.

Our very own Kennedy Hill called doctor and nutrition expert Dr. Idz () to get the 411 on what’s fact and what’s fiction when it comes to bulking up in a low-cal environment.

Short answer: it can be done, as long as you check 3 boxes:
Consistent resistance training
High protein intake
Adequate recovery and rest

"My fitness journey really started in 2016/2017. Blogilates work outs were the first thing that I could really commit to because they were fun and I WANTED to commit to them. I started small and could barely finish a full video. I worked my way up with beginner videos, summer song challenges and eventually was able to complete the monthly work out calendars. Towards the end of 2018 I decided to try out the beginner PIIT28 calendar and absolutely LOVED it. The workouts are fun, effective and are finished in a short amount of time. After finishing the beginner PIIT28 calendar, I started the PIIT28 program and honestly it changed my life. It was challenging and fun all at the same time. I could start to see results after just 2 weeks! In January 2019 I completed the 28 Day Reset which was yet another amazing life choice. During 2017/2018 I had been eating a vegetarian diet and while doing the 28 Day Reset I switched to 100% plant based. The reset showed me that I had a sensitivity to dairy and I haven't gone back to it since then. I learned a lot about foods that did not agree with my body and my gut health has improved so much. It is now May of 2020 and I have lasting results from these life changes. As of recently I maintain my progress with POP Pilates and daily yoga. Cassey Ho has been my mentor through this whole process and a huge thank you goes out to her!! If you're just starting or feel discouraged, just know that if you keep believing in yourself and stay committed that you will find progress. Remember why you started in the first place and keep reaching for that goal! If I can do it, you can too."

Felicia, we really admire your commitment and adaptability! 4 years going strong - that's incredible! Everyone make sure to give her a follow! 💜

"I have been following Cassey's videos for a long time, and did the calendar on Blogilates and saw major results in just one month. Then I did the 100 Challenges, and absolutely loved how they made me feel. Recently, the PIIT 28 programs were on sale for Cyber Monday deals (late 2019), and I felt like it was the next step that would challenge me. I purchased the transformation pack bundle, and decided to commit to it fully...

The process was a bit crazy at times. I was working at a job that left me exhausted (working 4 am shifts) and didn't give me enough hours, so at the end of PIIT 1.0, I quit my job... I found another job at the end of February, and was almost done with 2.0 when all of this pandemic stuff happened! So I became unemployed (yet again), but I decided to continue on because, honestly, PIIT 28 has been pulling me through, giving me something to look forward to accomplishing each and every day. So I did it, pushed through all the uncertainty of this pandemic, and finished strong with PIIT 3.0...

I am honestly over the moon now that I have completed all three programs! I feel so strong and beautiful. I can hold moves for longer, go harder and faster than I ever thought possible, and I don't even recognize myself. It really showed me the stamina that I possess, both physically and mentally... Exercise is now something I cherish, rather than taking it for granted (especially with this pandemic!). It is time that I get to set aside for my self-care and it brings me so much joy. I am excited to continue to use the PIIT 28 program to maintain my strength while I go on to tackle goals in flexibility and inversion training."

We hope you took the time to read that because Elizabeth's journey is SO relatable and inspiring! There's just something SO beautiful about finding an anchor to keep you mentally & physically strong, especially during these uncertain times. 💜

Alright y'all, we're about to show you how fancy you can get with just the spices in your cabinet, frozen shrimp & a can of pineapple! 🍍 It's 28-Day Reset friendly by the way, but feel free to substitute with ingredients you have!

🍤INGREDIENTS🍤

1 pound raw deveined shell-on shrimp ("easy-peel")
1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon thyme
¼-½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, if you want it spicy)
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
16 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced (1/4 cup-ish)
5 tablespoons ghee or clarified butter
1-1½ tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
¾ cup chopped fresh or canned pineapple
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
Lemon wedges, for serving
chopped green onion, for serving

🍴METHOD🍴

If necessary, using a paper towel, blot excess moisture from the shrimp.

In a large bowl, evenly sprinkle the arrowroot starch and seasonings overtop of the shrimp. Toss to combine, making sure the shrimp is evenly coated, cover, and set in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes.

In a large pan over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, for 3-5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Do not allow it to toast/burn.

Remove the garlic/ghee mixture from the pan (I just put it in a small bowl to the side so it doesn’t burn). Add the oil to the pan, increase the heat slightly. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer.

Sauté the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side, depending on the size of the shrimp, until pink and cooked through. Add back the sautéd garlic & ghee mixture, pineapple, coconut aminos and give it a good stir. Cook for a couple minutes more, lowering the heat if necessary, until pineapple is warmed through. Toss to make sure garlic is evenly coating shrimp.

Remove from the heat, and sprinkle with chopped green onion serve with lemon wedges (and cauliflower rice).

Y'all, we were SHOCKED when we found out there is NO rice in this picture!!! 😱 Yup, this butternut squash risotto is made out of riced celery root and we are SO ready to impress everyone we know with it 👏.⁠
⁠
🥓 INGREDIENTS 🥓⁠
3 cups cubed butternut squash⁠
2 tbsp olive oil⁠
1/4 tsp salt⁠
1/4 cup diced Bacon⁠
1 large celery root celeriac, 4 cups riced⁠
2 cloves garlic minced⁠
1 large onion finely chopped⁠
3 cups kale shredded into small pieces⁠
1 cup chicken stock⁠
1 cup unsweetened almond milk⁠
⁠
🍴METHOD🍴⁠
⁠
PREHEAT the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius)⁠
⁠
PLACE the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and salt. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the butternut squash is tender⁠
⁠
PEEL the celery root and cut it into chunks. Place the chunks in a food processor and pulse. The key is not to over blend, you want it to break down into small pieces a bit bigger than a grain of rice⁠
⁠
IN a large skillet on medium heat add 1 tbsp olive oil and cook the bacon until its crisp. Once cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside⁠
⁠
SAUTE the garlic and onion in the skillet for approximately 5 minutes until the onion has softened. Add in the kale, riced celery root, broth and almond milk and let cook for approximately 10 minutes on medium high heat until the liquid has evaporated and the rice is tender. Add in the bacon and butternut squash and stir through. Enjoy!⁠

"Hey pals! Marlee, here. The before is a week in, as I feel it tells a better story of how I started my 28 day journey. I’m excited to continue to love my body and nurture it through exercise, healthy eating and self love.

Physically I am feeling great, it’s crazy to think that a little over a month ago...I struggled through a 5K. Now I can get through an hour long class or a 28 minute PIIT class by pushing myself and it’s WONDERFUL! I still crave fried chicken... but we are getting there 🤪 That back transformation though! 😍

Mentally, it was a bit of a challenge to begin with. Now I look forward to working out and do it every day. Going forward I’m going to work on being better about waking up in the morning to work out. Here’s to goals and continue to show up for yourself! Thanks for supporting me 💜 I’ll be back to do PIIT28 1.0 round 2 in 2 weeks."

Yessss Marlee!!!! 🙌 Our absolute favorite thing about seeing your before and after posts is reading about how much better you FEEL 💪. Give it a try for yourself at piit28.com!
