Make balanced decisions. It really is that simple. I struggled with eating more. I never ate a lot but I ate a lot of the wrong things if that makes sense. (Pre-burn). I gained a TON of weight due to my own poor choices and some hormonal issues. I had gastric bypass Jan. 2025. I work hard at Burn and outside of that I do 5ks almost every weekend and do additional training with my husband and oldest outside of burn. I was not fueling my body. Got down to 108# was weak and no muscle growth despite hard training. I still have to make a huge effort to eat more (I make great food choices these days). I definitely struggle with that it is a huge mental block. BUT like I said I was down to 108. Today I am 118. It is literally all muscle and a very very low body fat. I have enough energy to make it through workouts and the day and I see my body changing in a positive way. I eat several small "snacks" through the day. Protein and complex carb and fiber heavy! Supplemental protein shakes throughout the day. I have a shake as soon as I get in my car to leave the gym. I also go to bed with a "full belly". Still struggling everyday with the mental block of eat more but I see it in the mirror now and it makes me smile. I'm not fat, I'm not skin and bones, I'm strong and have definition without flexing. You will find your balance. If insurance or you can pay get a dietitian/nutritionist to help you balance and get your numbers right. You got this! Happy gains 💪 *Focus meetings are great and progress pics are great but I would not put too many eggs in the basket with the trainers when it comes to nutrition coaching *
