  • Coming back to do a little update. I am doing Pilates 2-3 days a week, core and glute focused. And doing the 3 full body lifts a week. I stopped eating 1700 because I still felt absolutely awful so I finally just gave in and decided to track everything I ate - whether it was “good” food or “bad” food. I didn’t stop myself…
  • So you found his book, the Glute Lab, programs too high volume? That’s why I got his monthly programming because he has an upper/lower option that has less volume on each day. Like 5 movements as opposed to 7-8. But even that was too much so I don’t know how else to tweak it.
  • Yes, but I quit working with her partly because I was starting to feel confident working out on my own and because I can’t continue to afford it.
  • The weight loss was that quick because I was doing an elimination diet (no gluten, sugar, dairy) for gut health. But ended up falling off the wagon because I struggled finding foods/meals that were enjoyable and I definitely was under-eating a bit. How do I work out though? If I have to not be in a deficit right now, I can…
  • I workout at home so generally I don’t do cardio lol. But it’s mainly been core/lighter weights of whatever exercises I’m doing that day. Not overweight :) I’m 130 lbs, 5”2. Just bad back and weak core from pregnancies.
  • I’ve decided to up my calories to around 1730. So 250 above the 1 lb deficit but also 250 below maintenance. Still going to do my 3 full body workouts and 2-3 core workouts. I was originally wanting to add in a session or two of cardio but will probably wait a whole month before I do that just to see how my body handles…
  • Oh I should probably mention my stats too. I’m 5”1, 25 years old, currently 128 lbs and my goal is 115.
  • Thank you both for your thorough responses!! I was definitely starting to “fear” carb and sugar foods and was dreading the upcoming holidays because of it. So I know that something was wrong because I was starting to think disordered. As far as calories, I honestly could actually use some help with that. I’ve been feeling…
  • Thank you so much for saying all this! I’ve been trying to tell myself the same thing but my mind was saying otherwise 🫠😭 I definitely didn’t put on all the weight I want to lose in two weeks lol.
  • So a typical day on the diet looks like this: Breakfast 4-6 ounces protein 1-2 servings of fat (so like 1/4 cup nuts or a tablespoon nut butter) 1 cup optional veggies Lunch 4-6 ounces protein 1 serving fat 2-3 cups veggies 1 cup carbs (sweet potatoes, beans, quinoa) Dinner Repeat of lunch, just one more serving of fat Two…
  • I’ve been working on core strength for over a year and it has greatly improved but still so baffling that so many exercises are uncomfortable.
  • So what if a workout looks like this? (full body): Barbell hip thrusts Leg press Seated hamstring curl Shoulder press Neutral grip pull-down Bicep curls Booty band glute medius kickback
