I just took a look at the Venus plan... it doesn't talk much about what you should eat and makes a point to say they can work around any diet. What do you eat to make that change?? Is that transformation just from lifting?0
-
Wow you look amazing for someone half your age...I am working on increasing my lifting also and you are an inspiration.0
-
U lk amazing. I have those saddlebags in ur b4 pic too... What type of workouts? Did u eat clean0

To answer some of your questions:
1. No, I do not eat clean....well, certainly not all the time. I am "cutting" right now and I am *trying* (but not always succeeding....) to eat mostly protein and fewer (bad) carbs.
2. Yes, I do intermittent fasting. Actually, Venus would call my style of eating "intermittent feeding" because I eat all of my calories from 12:30 pm (lunch-time) to 6:30/8:30 pm. I am naturally more hungry later in the day.
3. I eat NOTHING all morning and I work-out at lunchtime, fasted, always.
4. "Heavy lifting" got me started on ending my "skinny fat" days.....but, it's 100% true that you CANNOT "out-train" a bad diet! So, exercise has transformed my SHAPE, but being in a caloric deficit has removed my BODY FAT.0 -

You look awesome! I struggle with losing my belly and arm fat and keep going back on forth on lifting. I did NROL4W with no success. So might check out this venus program. Is it much different?0

BOOM! You look wonderful! Awesome to see your success0

Huge difference! Especially in your thighs!0

Thanks for recommending The New Rules of Lifting. I am hoping to buy it soon.0
-
That's some pretty terrific results!!!!!0
-
You look great! I am sold!
I'm curious, was there weight loss between the two pics? (I like to get an idea of what I can expect).
Right now, I'm in weightloss mode. I plan to add muscle after my weightloss... and so will look into those recommendations. Thanks for the inspiration!0 -
WOW! You have inspired me to lift more often. I find it hard giving up the cardio classes. You look amazing!0

There *was* body fat loss between the 2 pics. I would have described myself as "skinny fat" in pic 1....I looked just fine in clothes, was always described by others as "skinny" (only my husband - and all the women in my health club - saw me naked, right??). Figured I had 10 lbs to lose, which is how I ended up at JPFitness forum, finding a 'challenge' to enter (Jan 1, 2012), which involved NROL4W.
I have lost 20 lbs to date. OF PURE FAT.
I'm having a DXA scan done at the end of May, 2013 to confirm what my body fat% is (I think I'm about 24% right now...) and what my LBM is, etc.
While Venus, like NROL series, focuses on "compound moves" (i.e. no split days, etc.), Venus is different than NROL. Different because:
1. it offers different eating advice than the NROL series;
2. it offers a community of subscribers which, for me, lead to my BEST successes and all sorts of learning about "posing", what sorts of clothes suit a pear-shaped body (I'm a natural pear), etc.; and
3. It offers MUCH more variety - EVERY SINGLE WORK-OUT is a different work-out! Love this.0 -
You look awesome. I started lifting and I love it!0
