I feel you, I have had issues with being able to manage my weight and it can be rather disheartening.
Something that really changed the game for me was finding a nutrinionist, who helped me understand how my metabolism works, what was missing in my diet/what wasn't serving my body.
What ended up really working was changing the macronutrients portions (I totally agree with the others: proteins, proteins, proteins!) and when to eat (which helps in better managing insulin levels).
If it is a possibility for you, finding a nutrinionist could give you a deep knowledge of your own body, which is of course different from anyone else's.
I could also recommend listening to Tom Herbert/the useful coach: he is a climbing nutritionist who often talks about how to gain muscle mass, or even how maintaining the exact same caloric intake but changing the macronutrients can make one lose/gain weight within days.
I've been doing the M/Body workouts for a while now but I've never posted here, so hi! I'm Marta, originally from Italy, currently living in Zürich, Switzerland.
I joined the Summer of Strong challenge and yesterday I've completed it :) completing the final workout was a beautiful moment that filled me with joy and pride, I even teared up during the reverence.
I had a rather tough year: from burnout to sexual harassment and battling systemic sexism, I felt absolutely powerless. The Summer of Strong challenge reminded me daily that I am strong, I am powerful, I am resilient, I am rooted in myself and no one can ever take this away from me. Thank you Marnie for your incredible positivity and for creating a revitalising challenge, I will be forever grateful 🙏
