Low carb can eat a bag of... doughnuts....

Metabolic flexibility is the real hero. Being able to eat carbs without shooting your blood sugar through the roof.... or a massive rebound dump in insulin.

You don’t get that by training your system to endure low carb.

Hell, if you’re stressed and low carb (possibly low on everything if you’re chasing a calorie deficit), your body will make more glucose anyway to survive the ‘threat’ (via a few nifty mechanisms such as glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and reduced insulin sensitivity).

Kinda counter productive!

Having the ability to handle carbs without setting off the roller coaster, the crash, the cravings. That’s the real flex....

And that’s achieved through efficient metabolic flexibility, being able to tap into all fuel sources, including carbs.

And guess what is going to give you the metabolic egde...

Not a supplement

Not carnivore

Not a fcking peptide

Not a keto diet

But MUSCLE. More specifically building it and using it.

Active muscle gobbles up glucose without the need for insulin.

So if you are in the game of trying to improve your metabolic health through insulin sensivity (and you should be), muscle and movement are your priority.

That doesn’t mean you have to train for hours each day or hit a weekly marathon to get the benefits.

But strategic strength training and walking are two of your most powerful tools for metabolic health and flexibility.

So eat the carbs, lift the weights, do the walking :)

And this isn’t even including all of those barely scraping the ass-end of borderline results.

My biggest recommendation is ‘be that guy’, don’t take normal for an answer. Ask what they’ve tested, get a copy of your results.

And Listen to your body!

💥 I stopped tracking, weighing and measuring every damn thing I ate

👻 I reintroduced foods regardless of their calorie content

🤖 I stopped saving all my calories for the end of the day and started eating breakfast again

👉 I got ahead of my cravings and blood sugar crashes

🤡 I swerved the 3pm energy slump by eating like a grown-ass woman with proper meals rather than surviving on ‘picky bits’ and caffeine

👹I shifted away from the low calorie sweeteners that were driving up my insulin and ghrelin

👾 I stopped waiting until I was fcking starving to eat and started eating in line with my hormones and body clock

👽 I stopped taking ‘everything is normal’ for an answer

🧙🏻‍♀️ I finally unpacked what was really going on with my cravings and bloating with functional lab testing rather than assuming that every food hated me.

👊And do you know what.... not only did the food noise vastly reduce to something I just chuckle at every now and then, but my body bounced back.

😎 I felt like myself again, mojo, health, metabolism... all ticky along nicely without tracking a single calorie.

If you need help with all of this, my DM’s are open 🙋🏼‍♀️

👋🏻 If you grew up in the era where we feared ‘getting bulky’ it’s pretty fcking empowering to be encouraged to lift heavier and build strength.

💪 You might have been taught to progressively overload with heavier weights to encourage muscle growth.

😅And yes if you’re still using tiny dumbbells for every exercise, you’ve probably plateaued in seeing changes in body composition (muscle definition) and DO need to lift heavier.

🤡But there’s a flip-side to this, after the beginner gains where you realise you’re actually a secret bad-ass and can lift waaaaaay more than you thought, you will hit a ceiling with lifting heavier.

🤪😣So if you’re hissing and dribbling, whilst grinding out reps and having to break up your sets, you’ve probably hit that ceiling and it’s time to train a little smarter (before you injure yourself and are back to square fcking one).

🧐And here’s what you’re missing....

🚫Progressive overload is not just about lifting heavier.

You can also encourage muscle growth by:

💥Increasing time under tension (this looks like slow eccentrics, pauses, tempo reps)
💥Improving control of reps (eg taking out momentum/bouncing between reps)
💥Increasing volume within a given session (sets, reps)
💥Improving range of motion (eg squat lower)
💥Reducing rest time between exercises/sets

👉If you spend a decent block on one or two strategies above, you will see changes in body composition and eventually be able to lift heavier again too (increasing time under tension is great for building strength)

💪So keep building, just know that doesn’t have to be continuously lifting heavier and smashing yourself for hours in the gym each day.

👊It’s about training smart, prioritsing recovery and eating ENOUGH food! (another big reason women don’t see the changes they’re hoping for)

🙋🏼‍♀️If you’ve hit a plateau or are just starting out and feel a bit daunted by all of this, give me a shout.

😎It would be my pleasure to help you become one of those annoyingly strong women who casually carries all the shopping in one trip
