There will always be times in life when you let go of yourself because other things may be more important at the moment. I was feeling that my body and shape was going into the wrong direction, and I didn´t feel comfortable about it! All I needed was 6 weeks of self dedicated attentions. This is what you can expect when you start to pay attention on your diet and training.
When you start to cut your calories and lift weights, here's a general overview of what may happen week by week:
Week 1-2: You may experience some initial changes in your body as you adjust to the new routine. Your body may feel sore after weightlifting sessions, and you may also notice some water weight loss due to reduced calorie intake. Be ready to run to the toilet a lot.
Week 3-4: Your body starts adapting to the calorie deficit and weightlifting routine. You may notice improvements in strength and endurance as your muscles adapt to the increased workload. However, the scale may not show significant changes in weight yet.
Week 5-6: With continued calorie restriction and weightlifting, you may start noticing visible changes in your body composition. Your muscles may appear more defined, and you may experience fat loss. It's important to monitor your progress not just through the scale but also through measurements and progress photos.
Here is where you get motivated of your own progress or drop off. But magic is waiting for you around the corner if you continuing.
Week 7-8: By now, your body should be well adjusted to the calorie deficit and weightlifting routine. You may continue to see improvements in strength and muscle definition. Depending on your starting point and goals, you may consider adjusting your calorie intake further to continue progressing.
Week 9 and beyond: Consistency is key. Keep following your calorie deficit and weightlifting routine.
As time goes on, you may need to periodically reassess your calorie intake and adjust it accordingly.
Remember to listen to your body, rest when needed, and fuel yourself with nutritious foods to support your goals.
It's important to note that individual results may vary.
