We just saw a video where a “petite fitness coach” tried to argue that because shorter women have a lower BMR, they can’t handle as much training volume. That’s not how any of this works.

Your BMR is lower because you are a smaller human. You require less energy to exist. That’s it. It is not a limitation. It is not a condition. It does not dictate how hard you can train.

Training volume has nothing to do with your height and everything to do with your experience, fitness level, recovery habits, and what you’ve actually adapted to over time.

A beginner- petite or not, won’t handle much volume.
An advanced lifter- petite or not, can handle a lot more.

That’s called adaptation, not “petite physiology.”

This whole narrative is just another way to make short women feel fragile and dependent on “special rules” that don’t exist.

Stop turning basic human physiology into a niche.

If the advice only applies to “petite girls”… it’s probably not science.

Smart food choices allow you to eat large portion sizes.

I may be 5'0" but my appetite is 6'7".

And if your goal is "I wanna look toned" - "tone" is muscle on a body with lower bodyfat.

Cardio will help you lose weight but it won't build shape.

Strength train --> eat/fuel well --> 👙

Fruit doesn’t cause insulin resistance.
You’re just eating too much food.

Let’s keep this simple:

Your body becomes insulin resistant when it’s constantly overfed.

When you consistently take in more energy than you burn, your body stores that excess (especially in the liver and muscle). Over time, those tissues get “full” → your body stops responding to insulin as well → blood sugar starts staying elevated.

That’s insulin resistance, not fruit problem.

Now here’s where people get confused:

“I’ve been low-carb/keto for years… why is my A1C still high?”

Because removing carbs doesn’t fix overeating.

You can absolutely:
• overeat fats
• stay in a calorie surplus
• gain body fat
• and STILL develop insulin resistance

On top of that, chronically low-carb diets can reduce your body’s tolerance to carbs (your body gets less efficient at handling them because you never use them). So when carbs are reintroduced or even eaten occasionally, blood sugar responses can look worse.

That’s not because carbs are toxic.
It’s because your metabolism isn’t in a great place.

The common denominator?
Excess calories over time.

If fruit caused insulin resistance, every athlete and bodybuilder eating high-carb diets would be diabetic.

They’re not.

Stop blaming fruit.
Start looking at total intake.

No one will know of you skip an exercise, a set, a workout... But you will. Why isn't that enough to follow through?

No shame. Genuinely, reflect on that.
