The #1 Toning Progress Killer Hidden In Restrictive Diets…

How Companies Keep Women Hooked Even Without Seeing Results!

The fitness industry has a dark secret hidden behind promises of quick-fix results and unattainable goals.It keeps women jumping from diet to diet, always starting something new and then bouncing back, even when they know deep down that nothing is going to change.The end result is that you can try going on keto, low-fat, intermittent fasting, whatever the latest trend is… And still be pulled into yet another program making the same promises, using a different type of restriction.Typically, it also comes with the promise of absurdly fast results, and it’s so cleverly designed that even if you never see lasting results after doing everything right, it’s nearly impossible to resist coming back over and trying again…No matter how frustrating or difficult it becomes!These companies pull women in by using complicated systems that only work under extremely specific circumstances.Keto is a perfect example: Ketosis only kicks in when carbs are almost completely absent from your body… And at the moment you reintroduce carbs to your diet, this fat-burning mechanism grinds to a halt.Intermittent fasting relies on avoiding all food except for within a very specific window of time. But outside of that time, you may be constantly battling hunger and fatigue until you’re even allowed a snack.While some women have the time and willpower to get everything absolutely perfect, this lifestyle isn’t realistic for the vast majority of women. Plus, it’ll make you miserable faster than you can say “low cal”!If you understand this secret and how it’s designed to keep you hooked on programs that never work, you can take back control and turn the tables on these unrealistic and unsustainable diets forever.I can attest to this… I was on brutally restrictive plans in my competition days, and once I discovered why I could never see the results I wanted unless I put my body through hell, everything clicked into place.Since then and for the past 7 years, I’ve worked out about 3-5 days a week, eating a sustainable and enjoyable diet that allows me to stay toned year-round without the ups and downs most nutrition plans are infamous for.I’ve never looked back since. Restrictive diets don’t work, plain and simple — look at what happens with those “success stories” months or years later and that will be abundantly clear.I can show you the same step-by-step process over 8,138 women have used and continue to use right now to make and KEEP progress they never found with any restrictive diets!

Are You Making The “Big 3” Protein Mistakes?

12/13/2024

8 min read

The biggest traps women fall into with protein and how to avoid them at all costs!

Not checking for fat content

Most protein sources have fat content — sometimes as much or more as the protein itself. Plus, fat has more than twice the calories per gram that protein does! That’s why you’ll see recipes that call for egg whites instead of whole eggs, but the same principle can even apply to meats where there isn’t visible fat. For example, chicken breasts are much leaner than legs. Be sure to check the fat content on protein sources when you buy them and either change up what you buy or factor the non-protein macros into your daily numbers!

Eating incomplete proteins

You can absolutely build the body composition you want on a plant-based diet, and we even have coaches at WarriorBabe that specialize in exactly that. However, don’t go completely off of nutrition facts and assume that the amount of protein listed is what you’re getting! That protein needs to have all 9 essential amino acids to be useful to the body, whether that means getting it from a complete source like soy or combining two foods that have complementary amino acids, such as rice and certain types of beans.

“Batching” your protein intake

Once you know your ideal daily protein intake, don’t just focus on the number — how you distribute it throughout the day is so important. The human body can’t process a full day’s worth of protein at once! For example, eating a low-protein breakfast and lunch followed by a protein-heavy dinner will not give you the same results as splitting the same amount equally across several smaller meals. Gradual absorption throughout the day is key to making the most out of your protein intake!It can be a struggle to consistently get quality protein sources in your diet, but you don’t have to figure out your macros alone — by becoming a WarriorBabe, you gain access to all the resources, coaching, and feedback you need to achieve balanced nutrition that enables you to build the body and lifestyle you want!

The #1 Key To Toning After Menopause

How To Build The Body Composition You’ve Always Wanted When Nothing Else Works

How often have you wondered why it’s so much harder to get toned after menopause…Why nothing that you used to swear by seems to work anymore?There’s a simple reason why no matter how little you eat or how much exercise you push yourself through, it’s nearly impossible make your body budge:Those massive hormone shifts during and after menopause.Women experience a significant drop in the production of several hormones responsible for:

Strong & healthy bones
Mood regulation
Brainpower & memory
Muscle building & retention
Concentration
Energy levels
Sleep

This creates a huge void that must be filled in order for you to retake control.The primary way you can do it is through nutrition…And your ideal macronutrient numbers will be different than they were before menopause.In order to support the healthy production of the hormones that help develop your body composition…You need to eat fewer carbs and more fats.To be clear:This is specifically during and post-menopause — until that time, your primary energy source should likely be carbs (although this depends on your specific macro numbers).Why the increase in fats?Because hormones are primarily made up of fats, and without enough at its disposal, your body simply cannot deliver the lean definition you’re looking for.So that said… How much fat do you need, and by how much should you reduce your carb intake?That’s an excellent question — the answer is different for every woman based on her unique body and goals…And it’s incredibly challenging to answer and act on without help.If you want help building a simple, easy-to-follow plan that allows you to eat the foods you love while building a body composition you’ve always dreamed of…
