Top 5 reasons why fitness competitors take much longer to get in shape every single
 
by charles poliquin
 
1.They don’t eat enough saturated fats.
 
Most people who get these women ready are fat phobic.  It works for a while, but has long term sequels. For example, I had a physique competitor go from 9.4% body fat to 7.8% in 6 days after I told her to consume butter and coconut oil 6 times a day. In other words, meats are cooked in butter. Butter on the broccoli etc…
 
 
2.They develop food intolerances to the foods that got them ready in the first place.
 
Stress increases gut permeability. Gut permeability increase food intolerances. Food intolerances increase cortisol with its catabolic and fat storage effects. Since they tend to eat the same foods all the time, and they are stressed, they become intolerant to the foods that leaned them out in the first place. Also stress lowers HCL levels, which impairs digestion and also accelerates the rate of development of food intolerances.
 
 
3.They became insulin resistant through lack of sleep.
 
Lack of sleep precipitates insulin resistance, and produces a catabolic metabolic cascade. Most physique competitors either have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and/or waking up because of the large training loads and lack of nutrients. The truth of the matter is that during the winter we truly need about 9.5 hours of sleep. Under sleeping has been linked in multiple studies to insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
 
 
4.They furthered their insulin resistance by doing excessive aerobic work.
 
Excessive long slow distance aerobic elevates cortisol.  Guess what? That again accelerates insulin resistance. Even worse, if done on electronic equipment as shown by researcher Magda Havas (Electromagn Biol Med. 2008
June; 27(2): 135–146.Published online 2008 June 6)
 
 
5.They obsess over lack of progress.
 
The four reasons given makes their progress slow, which frustrates them, which makes them make more cortisol…You get the picture. A simple grateful log, Über Inositol or the  be put on the right track :)
