Misinformed Mary feels like she’s doing everything right. She loves to exercise. In fact, it\u2019s likely she\u2019s never skipped a morning Body Blast class in 2 years. She\u2019ll tell you about her eating habits and you\u2019d be impressed: buys organic, doesn\u2019t touch fast food, eats small meals to rev her metabolism, looks at menus ahead of time and makes low cal substitutions, no soda – only water! She\u2019s envious of the defined arms and shoulders of her instructors. When asked, they simply tell her to keep showing up for class and join in on the newest \u201cClean Eating Challenge\u201d or purchase their favorite meal replacement powder. Yeah, yeah, \u201cabs are made in the kitchen\u201d but her gym routine has to count for something, right?\u2063\u2063<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2063What\u2019s really going on? Why is Mary not seeing the results of her efforts?\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063\u2063
Mary has a lack of lean muscle problem. She doesn\u2019t feel like she \u201clooks the part\u201d for all the exercise she does because she is undereating calories – specifically protein. She can\u2019t build muscle because she lacks the nutrients to adequately make muscle fibers.\u2063
\u2063
Her \u201ccardio first, lift later\u201d approach is backwards. Cardio robs the very little fuel that is available, further preventing any measurable change in body composition. \u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
She would probably benefit from a structured lifting routine – instead of finding random inspiration on Instagram when she\u2019s \u201cin the mood\u201d to lift. Progressively overloading her training week to week, month to month, is essential to build the curvy, athletic figure she’s working for. And, as a bonus, she\u2019d go from feeling absolutely wrecked after workouts, to energized and accomplished. \u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
Ultimately, Mary is undereating and overtraining, which is leaving her body in a stressed state. Elevated cortisol leads to both leptin and insulin resistance, an unhealthy hormonal state that promotes body fat and water retention and causes long-term health issues that affect her entire system.\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
But there\u2019s hope! Mary can start by downloading a free guide (DIY Macros Guide<\/a>) to find out how much she should be eating in order to see the results she\u2019s looking for.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
