Year after year, Australia woman Madalin Frodsham set the same New Year’s resolution.
She wanted to getfit.
Tired of blowing off her healthy lifestyle goals, Frodsham decided 2016 was the year she’d finally commit.
So she beganKayla Itsines’high-intensityworkout plan and started eating lower-caloriemeals.
After months of not getting the results she wanted, Frodsham consulted a nutritionist.
However, she assured her followers that she ate until she was full.
“After a while though…I simply wasn’t seeing the results I had anticipated.
Macronutrientscarbohydrates,proteins, andfatsare major dietary components that the human body needs to thrive.
After assessing Frodsham’s diet, her nutritional coach gave her two pieces of advice.
First, she should increase her calorie intakea lot.
“When he first told me to eat 50 percent carbs I nearly died,” the blogger wrote.
But she didn’t.
Instead, Frodsham gainedvisible abs, defined biceps, and a ton of energy.
Now in a typical day, she eats a protein shake with banana and oats for breakfast.
She’ll also snack on an oat and applesauce muffin or a sweet potato and zucchini brownie.
“Don’t waste your time eating salad when you could be eating sweet potatoes and banana pancakes.
Eat more and get fit.
It actually works.”
So why did this simple change make such a difference for Frodsham?
Nutritionists say it probably has something to do with how few calories she was eating before.
Not to mention, getting enough nutrients is key to optimal body function.
And since muscle helps the body burn more calories at rest, under-eating can sabotage weight-loss and muscle-gain efforts.
Still, it’s important to remember that everyone’s body is different.
“Bottom line?”
“Each person is so different with varying calorie, macronutrient, and micronutrient needs.”
