weight gain

Yeah, like you said, it normally settles on a trend that is much more expected for that phase.

Yeah, if you're gaining muscle, the muscle has to weigh something and we should expect weight gain to go up overtime as that muscle is being gained.

That weight gain will correlate with muscle gain.

Typically, individuals that are newer to training and more responsive to training, their weight will go up at a quicker rate.

And a lot of the time, individuals that are newer to training, they benefit sometimes from chasing slightly higher weight increases each week.

I would rather deal with a really small amount of controlled fat gain and be able to build muscle than constantly be in a calorie deficit, feel under recovered from my training, feel like I'm not able to give my best performance in my sessions, or worse, as a more experienced lifter, not see any muscle gains whatsoever because I'm just simply not providing enough resources for my body to be able to do it.

I'd rather accept a small bit of fat gain.

That fat gain will show as weight gain on the scales.

or when you're anxious about holiday weight gain triggers and trauma.

The holidays are coming up and maybe you can already feel the anxiety building up too.

The meals, the desserts, the change of routines, the treats, absolutely everywhere, and that familiar fear of weight gain too.

Maybe a part of you is already mentally calculating how to quote unquote fit those festive treats in.

Maybe it's already working out how to approach the lead up and how to undo the damage in the aftermath.

If they did, one holiday season would permanently alter the entire population every single year.

And honestly, the supermarkets would probably need to stick emergency warning labels on all of their mince pies.

But, on a more serious note though, the eating disordered treats weight gain? Like an absolute catastrophe.

I'm going to feel worse and I don't want to feel worse.

So your message to women is basically saying, take the initiative, do what you can control when it comes to weight gain, when it comes to whatever it is in your life.

Just pay attention.

And not everybody has to lose weight either.

Number one.

Number two, waking.

Yeah, because weight gain relates to all those other psychological problems.

Listen, when I gain, I'm relatively lean.

So with neurotoxic symptoms, those are you guys that are having trouble with where your hair is falling out.

That's you guys that are having trouble with weight gain.

You're having trouble sleeping.

Maybe you notice some memory issues when you're fasting, not necessarily brain fog, but you're searching for words.

We see that a lot with fasting.

We see it a lot in my clinic.

Weight gain.

So those of you that are fasting and you're like, I'm holding on to weight.

But we're going to finally be giving the

pregnancy body image episode today.

We're so excited to be bringing this to you guys because I feel like it's something that I've been seeing more of now that I'm pregnant.

And I'm like, was I not paying attention before? Or were not a lot of people talking about this? Well, yeah, that's such a good point.

I feel

like I haven't seen that much on the specifics

of pregnancy body image.

I haven't either.
