It is only ONE form of progress and certainly not better than pictures and measurements that speak for themselves! . What did I do? I started by #reversedieting at 40 years old when I was tired of being #skinnyfat I learned progressive overload in the weight room and changes started to occur both mentally and physically. When your body is used to eating fewer calories it adapts. The good news is that your CAN change the amount you eat AND still lose weight! Over the past 7 years I have gone through stages of building muscle and eating in a surplus and periods of being in a deficit to lose some weight. Gaining muscle does not make you look bulky and you DO NOT need to be on a diet for your entire life. Food is fuel - use it to build a solid muscle foundation. You will lean out, burn more calories, and get that “toned” body most are sought after regardless of what the scale says. I am not special in any way - If I can do it in my 40’s with 2 kids, you can too! #pancakesandpushups #reversediet A post shared by Sloane Davis (@pancakesandpush_ups) on Sep 11, 2018 at 6:28am PDT Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 8 "Gaining muscle does not make you look bulky."
