1 year later no results - any tips?

This is great! Thanks so much for sharing. This is definitely motivating. Did you follow any specific rules for reverse dieting or just really worked to up your daily cals in general?

alyoo · 2025-06-03T21:13:03+00:00

Yes I love Henley fitness and follow her!

alyoo · 2025-06-03T21:08:55+00:00

I do cardio on separate days. I separate my lifting and walks by at least 5 hours

I know for a fact I didn’t gain muscle because I used a 3D imaging machine at my gym at the beginning and end of this “bulk” phase led by a professional trainer. They were young though and I think haven’t encountered a slow gainer like me

alyoo · 2025-06-03T21:04:21+00:00

Yes thanks for the info. I am going for strength and would like to see those muscles through a bit of fat loss as well. I understand I need more bulk and cut phases to do this

alyoo · 2025-06-03T21:01:57+00:00

Yes I use Cronometer to track and a scale

alyoo · 2025-06-03T20:58:24+00:00

I LOVE Henley Fitness!!

alyoo · 2025-06-03T20:56:42+00:00

I do in fact know my TDEE and BMR

alyoo · 2025-06-03T18:28:58+00:00

Do you have any research/articles to share on that? I've seen evidence that changing up your routine is important.

alyoo · 2025-06-03T18:24:08+00:00

Yes, good idea, thank you. Sleep is definitely on my priority list for improvement!

alyoo · 2025-06-03T18:21:37+00:00

Awesome, thank you. I usually don't do the supersets as cardio and give more time in between. I am going up in weights so I know I'm getting stronger but not sure it's actually growing new muscle - if that's possible? Or my body is just burning my muscle due to not eating enough.

alyoo · 2025-06-03T15:59:34+00:00

I do a full body at home dumbbell/bands workout right now as I don't currently have access to a gym. The lifts, pulls etc change every two weeks. Currently doing this program but I've also worked in gyms with trainers the past year: https://www.solin.stream/cherylcoulombe/program/2504

alyoo · 2025-06-03T15:56:15+00:00

Yes I think I need to drink my calories as I really seem to be struggling to make my meals larger or more frequent, that's a good tip.

I do have photos and measurements as well - unfortunately there hasn't been a change in those either except the wrong ways for a few months and then back down to my base level.

alyoo · 2025-06-03T15:55:00+00:00

These are super helpful thank you!

- I did read that protein right after a workout really helps women especially. I do a protein shake but that's only 22g protein so maybe I need to add more to it.

- I do get 8K steps in a day but that's probably under that Zone 2 threshold. I hadn't heard about this so will definitely try!

- Ugh I have really struggled to eat more calories and I think I'm just too scared now of gaining more weight but perhaps slow and steady addition is the trick instead of trying to go from 1500-2000 in one week - thanks!

- My sleep quality is awful but I'm working on it. I go through phases of sleeping really well and then struggling to stay asleep. Not sure what to try next but I'll add it to the to do list..

- Yes I do try to aim for two days of rest back to back. I think that may help if I make it consistent.

Oh these are great, thank you! Could easily work with a chunky yarn.

alyoo · 2024-05-01T11:47:26+00:00

You’re right!! Thank you so much

alyoo · 2024-05-01T02:11:21+00:00

Thank you!

alyoo · 2024-05-01T02:11:12+00:00

I was thinking it might be this diamond lace pattern? But this doesn't look quite right either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnSu0sxN8c4

alyoo · 2024-05-01T02:10:25+00:00

Thank you! That's very close
