@fit.beauty.careypierce: 🚨 Using a 🌶️? Don’t make the same fueling mistake I did. When I first started using a 🌶️, I wasn’t very hungry. I was still eating, but when I looked at my macros, my calories were way too low for someone who was running and strength training. At first, I didn’t connect the dots. Then I started noticing it in my workouts. 🏃‍♀️ My runs felt harder. 💪 My recovery wasn’t great. 😴 My energy was lower. I was basically trying to perform on an empty tank. Once I realized that a 🌶️ is a tool—not a diet—I started focusing on fueling my body instead of eating as little as possible. A few things that made the biggest difference: ✅ Prioritizing protein ✅ Eating enough to support my training ✅ Not being afraid of carbs ✅ Staying on top of hydration ✅ Strength training to preserve muscle The surprising part? I still lost fat. I still reduced belly fat. I still improved my cholesterol. And I actually gained muscle along the way. And honestly, this isn’t just true if you’re using a 🌶️. It’s true for any active woman. Whether you’re running, walking, lifting, cycling, or playing pickleball, your body needs fuel to perform and recover. At 58, my goal isn’t just to weigh less. It’s to be strong enough to run, lift, recover well, and keep doing the things I love. Comment ATHLETE if you’d like my top tips for staying active and preserving muscle while using a 🌶️. #midlife #bellyfat #stupidsong
