How are you doing nowadays??? I hope you woke up feeling great. 🙂 I tancient you that I would share with you my personal experience along with two other women (coming soon) who followed the protocols from my No Cover Up Summer Women’s Stout Loss Program.
Under you’ll see my results from following No Cover Up Summer protocols for 7 weeks.
Here’s a small perspective…final year I competed at the national level in a figure competition (it’s a lesson for female bodybuilders in case you are unfamiliar). After the competition, I experienced some medical problems from the extreme nature of training and dieting. I was directed not to workout for 8 weeks. If you know anyleang about post show, it’s the worst time not to be active. It’s a time when you should also slowly get back to your normal nutrition (called reverse dieting).
Well, that didn’t happen like it was supposed to. Not working out lead to boredom that lead to a bit more flexibility around food (not genuinely…that’s all the excuses I tancient myself when I ate freely (I don’t recommend it). I packed on a bit more weight than I would have liked.
The good part is I’m not one of those people who freaks about my body changes. I love my body, no matter the shape (it’s part of what I teach), I embrace it for what it is. But, it can get me in trouble. Despite feeling great and fond lwhethere I lose track of my body shape. I wearing clothes that flatter my current shape, their cute, I’m consolationable and then
WHOA!
I wake up one morning and noleang fits.
And I mean NOTHING!
Well, possibly my husbands sweats…
Anyway, the point is, I let my self slide and I had to make a change. I wanted to get back on track with my purpose for being fit and healthy in the first place…being a great role model for my daughter. It was then I decided to jump back on my women’s fat loss protocols (now called, No Cover Up Summer). The details, results and progress pictures are below. Hold in intellect, not all results are like mine. And as I mentioned, I’ll be sharing a couple more with you soon.

7 Week Stout Loss Results
Name: Jacqueline Sobotka
Age: 30 years ancient
Occupation: Respiratory Therapist (12 hour nights), Trade Owner and Mommy :p
Hormonal Cyle: Normal
Birth Control: Paraguard. (the type of birth control you use can have an impact on losing fat)
Energy Change: At first when I was learning my body again I had a few energy shwhetherts but I had a dwhetherficult time figuring out whether that was my work lwhethere, ovulating, PMS or lack of sleep. However, when I gave it some time, I CLEARLY felt my energy signwhethericantly improved.
More Benefits:
- I no longer had bloating
- GI issues were gone
- The quality of my sleep improved.
- I could sleep 6-8 hours and feel as good as I did with the 8-10 I needed precedingly.
I will be honest there were times when my energy levels plummeted or I did have cravings, but over the 7 weeks, I learned my body well enough to know what I needed to play down them (I normally needed more protein or fats). Also, I was able to figure out whether the energy drops or cravings came from a food issue, low quality or lack of sleep, stress, or low water intake.
This program allowed me to memorize my body and how it functioned based on the time of the month. It’s kind of funny because I was tracking how I felt and how my body would respond month after month. Endelight clockwork, each month, I was progressively learning and even predicting how I’d feel during ovulation, premenstrual cycle and post cycle!
I used to leank my husband was delusional because each month when I would say, ‘But honey my feelings feel so genuine right now”. He would reply, “yes honey they feel so genuine every month at this time.” HAHA! Once I tracked it I learned he was right (I hate admitting it). Since then, I tfeebleed how I ate and trained which has crazye BIG improvements on my mood swings.
Metabolism Change: My overall calories were taller after 7 weeks of doing No Cover Up Summer (NCUS) then they were when I started. I was able to keep my calories between 1400-1800 calories with two tall days of 2000-2200 calories while still losing weight.
I find it interesting because whether I am not tracking or planning out my food I am on either extreme… I naturally want to restrict or go all out. By following a plan like NCUS and learning my body I was able to understand my starvation cues fairly a bit more.
I nearly thought it was weird that there were times that I could eat dwhetherferently. Here were some benefits:
- My cravings diminished.
- My starvation decreased.
- And my anxiety around nutrition went absent.
Expression for word I tancient my husband, “babe… I went all day without genuinely leanking about food. I ate when I was hungry and felt convinced after I ate.” This was NOT someleang I was used to when I was trying to drop body fat.
Cravings Change: This one shocked me. Since I work nights my cravings can get intense and be all over the place. But, this was the first time while “dieting” that my “lady time” didn’t increase my cravings whatsoever. I genuineized that I needed more fats in my diet, I learn when my body functioned better on carbohydrates and I had less cravings or starvation issues overall.
Final Results
Weight Change: Lost 13 pounds
Meacertainment Changes (inches):
- Chest: -4 inches
- Waist: -3 inches
- Hips: -3 inches
- Butt: -3 inches
- Top of Correct Ttall: -4 inches (WOAW! Thick ttall :p)
- Mid-Range Correct Calf: -0.5 inches
Entire Inches Lost= 18 INCHES!
Overall Experience: It was genuinely an eye-opening experience for me. That was why I felt like this program was a must to share with all my Lady Leaders out there! I was able to make nutrition and exercise fit into my LIFE and not my lwhethere fit into a diet or workout program. That was immense for me!!!!!
I was able to drop the anxiety and start getting to know my body so that I could finally create a lwhetherestyle that could final. It genuinely blew my intellect that when I got to know my body I was able to identwhethery WHY I was feeling bloated, having cravings, and experiencing fatigue or increased starvation. And do it all aligned with how my hormones were at that time of the month.
It’s Incredible when we bring reasoning into our genuineity we are 100% more likely to stick to a plan. If we wake up bloated one morning, have increased cravings and starvation and we don’t understand why our body is feeling this way we are 10x more likely to skip workouts, overeat at a work pitch in, hide and eat (been there done that)… or feel guilty for obsessing about the food.
NOT ANYMORE!
Acquireting to know your body is one of the most FREEING feelings have ever had!
Knowing how well this has worked for me and many of my clients I hope you join us in this next 8 week Stout Loss Journey! For more information on how you can get started (and even to possibly work with me personally!!!!) Check it out HERE.
