Building Muscle + Without Gaining Fat 🤔
I wish this had a super simple answer… but it’s a little more nuanced.
Of course. 🙃
Yes, you can minimize fat gain when building muscle…
But you can’t completely avoid it. 🫣
And this matters even more in 🩷perimenopause + menopause🩷
Because your body isn’t responding the way it used to.
🧬 Hormones shift
🧬 Metabolism changes
🧬 Your body is more sensitive to stress + under-fueling
So trying to “bulk” the way we did in our 20s + 30s?
It can backfire.
I remember being told:
“You’re going to have to be okay gaining a little fat if you want to gain muscle.”
Not what I wanted to hear 😅
But it’s true.
👉🏼 Fat is easier to lose
👉🏼 Muscle is MUCH harder to build
And muscle is what actually:
🔥 supports your metabolism
🔥 helps regulate blood sugar
🔥 protects your body as hormones change
So if your goal is to build muscle now?
You have to support the body you have NOW. 🫶🏼
And if you’re thinking… “okay but HOW do I do that?”
That’s exactly what we’re walking through inside my 🧬60-Day Hormone Reset🧬
We’re in PREP WEEK right now… which means this is your window to get set up and do this the right way.
