Changing Shape with Weights and Nutrition

Changing Shape with Weights and Nutrition I created this page to help women understand weight training and eating to fuel your body. My name is Crystal.

This is meant to be a positive, up lifting community of women interested in their health. I want to offer advice and encouragement with some of my healthy recipes. I’m a wife and dog mom who is passionate about health and fitness. I have been on my health and fitness journey for many years now however my thought process and understanding of real health has shifted throughout this time frame. I was

misled by the media and weight loss products for too long. I decided enough was enough and took my health seriously for the first time in my life. No more disordered thinking, no more crash diets, no more diet pills, just hard work in the gym, eating real, whole foods and creating mental strength. I am still on my journey but I look forward to the future. If you’re passionate about health and fitness and love to have a little fun then you’ll love this page. This is a journey that is best traveled with friends that share the same passions! Join me in my journey and let’s learn how to be healthy together!

Sweeteners don’t cause cancer or weight gain based on the consensus of the evidence 🙅🏻‍♂️

Artificial sweeteners are given a bad rep due to some myths that have been fabricated about them 🙄

Some have proposed that sweeteners “trick your body into gaining weight by acting as a fake sugar”, induce hunger or cause cancer 😫

In this meta-analysis by Toews et al. (2019) it was shown that people who consumed sweeteners did not weigh more than those that didn’t 👍

They also showed that artificial sweeteners did not increase hunger or energy intake 🥙

Additionally, artificial sweeteners were not found to cause various forms of cancer 🧬

Three myths busted in this awesome paper: sweeteners do not cause weight gain when calories are equated, they do not cause you to be hungrier and do not cause cancer 😊

Reference: Toews et al. (2019). Association between intake of non-sugar sweeteners and health outcomes: Systematic review and meta-analyses of randomised and non-randomised controlled trials and observational studies. Bmj (clinical Research Ed.), 364, 4718.

Let the triggering begin in 3...2...1... GO!

It’s important to not jump on every bandwagon with a ‘it’s too good to be true’ fad diet, pill or potion. Do your research please.

“No, but, you’re WRONG about alkaline diets. I read this book...”

Was it written by this guy? You shouldn’t listen to anything this guy says.

Butter is fine to eat in moderation, like any other calorie dense food, but let's not go crazy by believing it has magical properties.

Government guidelines suggest consuming a maximum of 10% calories from saturated fat per day. If you're eating a 2000 kcal diet, for example, 10% is 200 calories. Since butter is 72% saturated fat, if you had 300 calories of butter in your coffee (about 1.5 tablespoons), that would be 216 kcal of saturated fats.

This is more than the suggested saturated fat intake for a whole day, consumed in a single cup of coffee! Any food you eat will take you even further over the guidelines.

Don't put butter in your coffee, it's not worth it.

Just because "it's salad" it doesn't mean it's light in calories.

Check out this example comparing a salad to a burger. You'd think the salad would be an easy win for fat loss, but as shown that is not always the case! The vegetables alone are low in calories, but toppings, oils and other ingrediets add up pretty quickly.

Actively practice your eyeballing calories skill if you want to decrease your chances of getting duped by pretty names. We've made a guide for you: https://fitnessreloaded.com/salad-calories/

Which line will you be in??

Which line will you be in??

When 2018 rolls up make sure you're in the correct line...

Otherwise I can tell you right now that you're going to be wasting months of your time and plenty of money until you decide to switch lines to the one on the left. Might as well get in it from the start.
