Competitors go through a variety of feelings while dieting and training for a Competition!
After the first few weeks the feeling of “depravation ” is coming in!!!
Competition diets are very restricted of alcohol, sugar, heavy fats and starches !
There are carbohydrates involved, but they are all good old boring plain clean foods….
The use of food for emotional feelings is completely out!!!
In the end there is no cheating allowed at all and eating has to be 100% on dot!
Timing , amounts, ratio, water intake, supplementation……
As your body fat goes down a woman will create less estrogen and more testosterone !
That just happens naturally in your body!!!
As a woman we are producing estrogen not only in our ovaries but also in our fatty tissue 🙂
A woman’s brain works on estrogen ….
Ever wonder why women go crazy once entering menopause?
Estrogen deprivation !!!
And even though a Competition Woman does not enter menopause, she is still going through estrogen deprivation …..
Emotional ups and downs, crying a lot without reason, feeling sluggish and depressed are typical symptoms!!!
So what can you do about it?
Well, you can not take estrogen if you don’t want to add body fat!
But you can mentally prepare yourself and your family that this is what will happen during the last Quater of your journey!
Try to keep a positive mind set.
Surround yourself with positive friends.
Play up beat music …..
Focus on the date set of your goal and the changes you made in your body!
Design a dinner date in your head once Competition is over!
But even just by knowing that this will be only temporarily will help you focus on bigger and better things!
Just be prepared…
Health
We have all been there!
You have a goal, but life has a way to catch up to you…
Stress, emotions, schedules and sometimes someone that is sabotaging your efforts ….
Yes there are only 24 hours in a day… So what are we doing?
I am realizing that working 12 hours does not leave me with a lot of time to spend on workouts or really anything else….
Fatigue and exhaustion taking over!!!
Weekends are not enough to make up to go to point B!
I have to make a decision to either give up on my goal ( which is a no..no) or to suck it up, live with less sleep and time, but achieving that goal!!!
If mothers with children can survive with only 3 hours of sleep, so can I!!!
Proving to everyone that is trying to sabotage your efforts that you are stronger than they are expecting!!!
You are beyond them, beyond their weakness!
They fail because of their flaws and they are trying to make you fail just so they can feel better about themselves 😉
Ignore and move on!
There are bigger and better things coming your way!
Pushing yourself beyond your limit will make you feel impowered and improve how you see yourself!
What’s the biggest nutrition breakthrough for the next 25 years? The vote goes to nutrigenomics…the study of the interaction between food and DNA!
Here is how it works: each cell contains DNA for your entire genetic code.
This combination of proteins, hormones, and molecules remains unchanged through your life!
What does changes in this the combination your body is using to create more of the specific enzymes, hormones, and compounds that you need!
Foods that can increase you bodies natural fat burning power are: green tea …. Turns of genes that are responsible for fat cells and sugar uptake and turns on genes that mediate sugar uptake by muscle cells!
Results: smaller fat cells and more active muscle cells!
Fish oil: EPA and DHA are known to activate a specific protein in your cells called Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors ( PPARs).
They can increase fat burning for energy and improve insulin sensitivity.
Pistachios: fight inflammation!
Pomegranate : are packed with antioxidants called anthocyanins! These are known to stop the growth of fat cells by down regulate the expression of the pro-obesity and diabethis gene plasminogen activator inhibitor -1.
Olive Oil: increases adiponectin, a hormon that helps your muscle use sugar.

Thank you!
Certification of course is very important!
There are numerous online certifications that a 12 year old can pass!
Years of experience are very important!
How many years has this person been doing it?
What other credits come to their qualification ?
Are they practicing what they preach?
Has this trainer had experience in the same field you are using him/ her for?
Endurance training, sports conditioning, competition training?
Do not use a trainer that has no idea what you are feeling or going through!
Is the trainer capable in performing those exercises themselves?
Results and transformations, referals, behavior….
Adjusting your progress through a program can be helpful, but a Trainer also needs talent!
What I mean is watching how a client moves, how do his/ her muscle look? How is the client feeling?
Performance?
A good trainer can determine when to change the clients diet, cardio, program!
The Talent of what to do……to give the client 100%
Nutrition and Program have to go hand in hand to be able to have 100% results!!!
If one or the other is lacking, you will open up the gate for failure..
