Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
The following are NOT facts though.
💪🏽 It would be reaaaally freakin hard to lose all the gains. Will you lose some strength? Yeah maybe but to lose all your muscle ... that is really hard. For example, when I tore my ACL and had surgery the atrophy was REAL. The amount of muscle I lost in my leg was disguuusting. You have to think though, I was out for months and COMPLETELY IN👏🏽ACT👏🏽IVE. So even though "all you have" is resistance bands use them to preserve that muscle. Also make sure you're getting adequate protein, you'll be good sis.
💥 Using soreness as an indicator of how great a workout was isn't terrible but it's not the end all either. Also, when you try an exercise for the first time you may feel a lot more sore than you would with something you've done before. A new movement will cause you to experience more soreness ... so if your goal is just to be sore ... try something new. Remember though being hella sore all the time WILL prevent you from making those gains you may be so worried about, too. If you're too sore to workout ... then you can't give your best effort in your workout = no gains. ☹️
🍌🥖🍣 Not sure why everyone jumped on the no carb thing. (I won't even say keto because a lot of people think it's just a diet and don't realize you have to be in ketosis) Carbohydrates are our main energy source our body neeeeds them. I like to eat the majority of my carbs around my workouts. Either way you do it ... cutting your carbs won't automatically help you lose weight. Cutting your calories will.
⏳ I'll keep this last one short and sweet (as I've already typed an essay) neither of these will help you LOSE WEIGHT. I put emphasis on that because yes a sweat band will help you sweat and a waist trainer can help you with posture but those two will not directly help you lose weight. Only a caloric deficit can do that.
