This MAKES ME MAD!!

1st – last week I came across an article about studies…I read it because I like to know HOW studies are conducted. ALL STUDIES – ones I’m FOR and ones I’m AGAINST!

I like to be informed about things I use to train my clients.

I wish I would have saved the article and if I find it I’ll share it! BUT – it simply informed readers how to look at “studies” objectively. Much like, “who” is funding the study and “why”? There’s always influence.

Which is why I LOVE using my own real life experiences because they’re real.

2nd – today I came across another article by Dr. Stacy Sims, who I very much trust because she focuses on women’s bodies in the fitness world and not mens. She shares how different our bodies are from a man’s body when it comes to working hard, fueling and recovery!

Her article today shared her peer’s study (a Netflix documentary about twins and nutrition) about protein and weight loss. You can read it HERE!

I will sum it up in my own words and then I want YOU to go READ IT YOURSELF!

Its title is called The Extra Bit on Dr. Sims page.

This study was done by those promoting vegan diets as opposed to an omnivore diet.

In the end, the study supposedly PROVED that a plant protein diet was healthier and had more weight loss than an omnivore diet.

When in fact, if you look at the details further, the DEXA scan showed that the plant based people LOST more MUSCLE MASS as opposed to fat mass.

NOT GOOD, PEOPLE! There goes your immune system fuel, there goes your bone strength, there goes so many freaking things that it makes me very irritated.

I have watched OVER and OVER people who lose muscle mass become weak and frail. If you’re younger and lose muscle mass (and don’t know it) it’s as if you never really gain it back because you didn’t know you lost it.

MY MISSION is to spread the word that after 17 years it’s still true…PROTEIN should be your focus, and maintaining and building the muscle tissue organ is IMPERATIVE!

I can usually tell if someone is under muscled by how they move. Let’s get your body muscled up!

What does that look like?

Let’s see…
