Why not lay out some diet examples for her? I know my wife is looking for one too but I don’t know what options to give her.
Example 1:
Brown Rice (complex carb)
Mixed green salad (complex fibrous carb)
Salmon (lean protein)
Example 2:
Sweet potato (complex carb)
Broccoli (complex fibrous carb)
Chicken breast cutlet (lean protein)
Example 3:
Oatmeal (complex carbohydrate)
Egg white o�������������������������
Thanks!!
thanks… all good advice and i’ve gleaned a lot of this- i guess we all carry fat differently- i don’t want to be an extreme muscle female, i respect them, but i just can’t attain that myself…
i just want to lose the last vestages of my female roundness and have it hard… which is hard!
i’m going to up my calories even tho my diet is what is listed by most - i could add some more morning / midmorn carbs in i suppose, the rest of hte day it will be all protein.
i guess now?
WHAT EXERCISE CAN BUILD THE MUSCLE IN LOW BELLY - THIGHS - KNEES - HIP FLEXORs - GLUTS for a fat layered woman?
I could use a good leg/ab workout - my calves are HUGE - so i have that under control…
For legs, squats and deadlifts. If they’re not working for you yet, give it more time. You say you’ve only been at this for 5 weeks. Gradually put the weight up every workout. In a month or 2 you’ll be pushing serious weight and you’ll start seeing the benefit.
For abs & hip flexors, do decline situps and hanging leg raises. Knees to elbows is a great whole body exercise that will work your abs hard. See crossfit.com for examples.
OP, I don’t know what people lied to you to make you believe that such low calories are a proper diet, but I can assure you that (most) of what’s been posted above is good, solid stuff.
A couple years ago, I finally gave in to the hear-say and actually ate a decent amount of calories rather than starving myself.
Such harsh diets only end up pumping out large amounts of cortisol and eating up muscle tissue for energy.
