    So, there is a lot of info to be absorbed when looking to transform your physique. The best thing I can do is recommend a great book: "Thinner Leaner Stronger" by Mike Matthews. Its specifically for women.

    You'll learn how to bulk, how to cut, how to eat, and how to exercise/lift weights.

    Take it step by step, it'll be a trial and error journey as you get to learn how your body changes & evolves best. It will definitely be well worth the effort.

    Set small obtainable goals and then move to the next one.

    Eat at a calorie deficit, do strength training & cardio. Be patient.

    While I love Mike Matthews and did buy this book, I feel like it is excessively long! Love his YouTube vids and podcasts too but have to listen while I do other things because those are excessively long as well. Great information but he sure does like to hear himself talk, haha!

    And consume adequate protein (which is probably more than you think it is)

    0.6g/lb of bodyweight is sufficient for the average person.
