Women are not only different from men in terms of our mentality, priorities and way of understanding relationships. Even in our body there are differences, inside and out, that make it more difficult to achieve a defined and muscular body . To achieve this we can follow a proper bodybuilding diet.
The female body naturally tends to accumulate fat, which is why it is always more difficult for us to lose weight. The same happens with bodybuilding, it is much more complicated to define and strengthen muscles, because women generate little testosterone, which is responsible for eliminating fat. However, with certain exercises and a good diet it is possible to achieve good results.
Balanced bodybuilding diet for women
A bodybuilding diet , both in men and women, is based on a key element: proteins . In addition, the trick to getting defined is always to reduce fat, so these will be the two objectives of this diet.
To start, a breakfast consisting of two whole meal toasts with olive oil, and three slices of turkey cold cuts, with coffee or tea. For lunch, a chicken fillet or favo accompanied by vegetables in a salad or grilled. Dinner will consist of a white fish fillet or two cans of tuna with a vegetable soup or cream. To snack between meals and for dessert, resort to low-fat yogurts or fruit, and on days when you are going to do intense sports, accompany the meal with a small portion of carbohydrates (pasta, rice or potato)
In addition to the diet, it is important to accompany our goal with a specific muscle-building training plan . Aerobic exercises (running, cycling, pilates, etc.) should be combined with strength exercises that help us to specifically work each group of muscles.
