Momma Fit Podcast Episode #58: Weight-loss and Weight Gain Goals

Momma Fit Podcast

Not everyone has the same goals, and therefore no two goals are ever going to be approached in the same way! So today we will tackle the two very common (but different) goals in fitness: weight gain and weight loss. Keep in mind that these are general recommendations; there are many ways to accomplish a goal. But these are good places to begin with if you’re just starting out!

What you will learn in this episode:
Weight-loss:
1. Eat more veggies and cut down on other carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes, whole grains, legumes, couscous, bread). Not saying that all carbs are bad, they are great in combination with other food groups! But too many at once, can do more harm than good.
2. Exercise More. You still might be someone that needs a little bit more physical activity in order to get into a negative energy balance, if you work workout roughly for 20-30 minutes a day, and not seeing a difference than maybe add another 10 minutes to your routine.
Weight Gain (aka, muscle gain):
1. he way to create this stimulus is through intense and consistent resistance training. Once it’s in place, you’ll need the right amount of protein and calories to support the growth.
2. Don’t do as much cardio as you would for losing weight. And support human-growth-hormone production by getting adequate sleep and optimizing your nutrition and fitness.

Ideally, you’ll want to combine both diet and exercise for a one-two-punch combo to maximize your efforts.
