So glad I've stumbled onto your channel! Love the content and style...will be working my way through the rest of them ❤

Fantastic guidance! So many of my friends over 50 are eating too few calories and wondering why their weight loss stalls. They can't believe the amount of food that I eat. More protein (from all sources), proper portions, proper macros and consistency are so important to seeing results. You can't out train a bad diet, treat your body like a temple and it will serve you well.

Back in October I was working with my trainer and she had me lift more than I normally do and as a result I sprang my rotator cuff... I now have a new trainer who is incorporating my physical therapy homework into my workouts

[milwaukeemotor]

one trainer says train heavey the other one says no train light high reps, the other do only body weight, a lot of trainers don't know and also don't follow the program themselves that's why it's so difficult to get the right advice

[conniegoman]

Yes, great advice! I did only 1 workout with weights, walk every day and noticed an increase in hunger. I am reminded why I need more quality protein. Thanks

Do you advice doing full body workout every other day and stretches exercises on the rest days or doing upper body one day and lower body next day and stretching every day with no rest day from weight lifting/ functional training.
I do a short functional training-30 minutes which keeps me moving without stressing my body and mind. Thank you!

I started w 7 lbs weight, now im doing like 25-50 lbs depending on the move 😂 it took me 6 years. I don’t compare w others, there r always ppl stronger n better than u but u can only focus on urself.

I lifted heaving today and over an hour came home and had a good post workout meal. Rice with fish, fermented vegetables. And taro root soup. I don’t ever plan to give up my type of food for anything. Vietnamese food is generally healthy 😊

Interesting content. I want to try this out and eat 500 calories after my workout. I defiantly need more protein in my diet. Thanks

I have a caffeine addiction when you talked about being in flight or fight and not building muscle that hit home. I always felt that when I over due it on coffee I don’t build muscle properly…. Even muscle loss. Switching to one cup of green tea a day hope it helps🙌

Thanks for informative weight. I am female, 57 im only 52 kilos and eat very healthy but not getting much weight gain. Im always on the go plus walking my dogs. Should i eat much before i go to gym in the morning. I haven't ever counted calories only i make sure i take roughly 30g protein 3 times daily. Ive recently started taking amino acids. Any advice appreciated thank you 🙏

I’m a mom 48 new completely NEW to body recomposition. I’ve never had over weight issues until recently. Currently Im 151 lbs at 5’3 but after seeing how out of shape i was i was so disappointed. I realize I have a very long journey to go. But need so much guidance. What exercises and foods are best to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. Again I’m completely new to this. However due to being a single mom a gym membership is not an option at the time. What home exercises can I do? Thanks in advance

[sarrahconley]

I have been doing the same weight training workouts bc it's easy and I don't want to think about it.

[AimeeCVaj]

Hi! How long should I wait to lift weights after eating?

[masakansimple]

I just started lifting weights and I love sports

[AmandaSevere-ow]

Do I need to eat the additional calories on my rest day? I'm one of those people that has always been trying to lose weight but now I'm ready for muscle gains and I am struggling with the idea of eating more. I understand eating the additional calories on the days I lift but what about my rest/recovery day(s)?

I love your videos! Do you offer vegan meal plans? 🌸

My Mom was just diagnosed with osteoporosis at 56. So I'm trying to help her with nutrition. These videos are helpful. But it is hard. She has a job on her feet all day. She doesn't like smoothies no matter how many ways I make it. I even bought a vitamix. I drink them and my health is improving. But I am seeing the struggle here.

[valeriehofmann]

What if your exercising but not Hercules lifting? Need to lose weight but also gain muscles and strength. To many calories i wont lose the weight, not enough food and or protein i dont get muscle

[AJ-jbfg]

If I have a protein shake right after a workout there’s no way I can eat a meal for hours! The shake makes me so full. So what do you do in that case? Skip the shake and just have a high calorie meal?
