I need advice

nataliehuller

Hola! So I'm not necessarily new to this and I'm somewhat of a serial dieter. I've done vegan, 80/10/10, 40/40/20, vegetation, keto, juice cleanse, IF, blood type diet, regular diet, seafood diet, and IIFYM, basically I'm 5'4 and as soon as I turned 18 I decided I didn't want to be fat. I was 160 pounds and all the fat was mainly in my legs and *kitten*, so I decided I wanted to slim down. The lowest weight I got to was 96 pounds and I realized I was too skinny so I gained until I was about 112. Here's the thing, I'm still around that weight and I'm not happy, I lost the curves I used to love but all the advice I got was that I would gain curves with muscle, it doesn't look that way. I have gained "curves" but I look more manly than anything else, I like looking feminine, my goal is ideally curvy but fit; so my question is, should I eat more and gain fat and then put on muscle underneath that fat in order to achieve that, or is fat evil and I should just keep doing what I'm doing and eventually the muscle will look nicer. I workout 6 times a week with 1 day cardio and rest weight training. If I were to gain weight it would all go to my thighs and booty to be honest; so ahould I try to gain and see how it goes? Or should I just be happy with me and except the fact that I can't be curvy and fit and the same time and being fit and skinny isn't a bad thing. PLEASE HELP.

With no pictures, measurements, and the difficulty for a woman to build new muscle mass ... even at a caloric surplus with a structured muscular overload program ... I find it difficult to believe you're somehow "manly" around 112 pounds.

Given your admitted disordered past, it is likely that your body image is skewed.

I'm 136 pounds would like to be curvy and have a flat stomach on a vegan diet... Is that possible?? Would that be possible on the ketogenic diet..
