Hi @AprilVWhitney - please, please can you show me what 112lbs looks like for a 5ft1 woman? I have no conception as to whether that is a look that looks undernourished, not strong and just unwell for me. I’m just below 5ft2in and honestly thought 154lbs was winning for me…

#1- high protein & fiber breakfast #2- 100g protein/macro ratio 40%carbs, 35% protein, 25% fat. #2.5- have structured meal times/meal windows for insulin level/digestion #3- resistance training #4- low intensity cardio (walking) > high intensity cardio #5- 7/8 hrs of sleep and accountability

relating to this deeply. i'm rebecca, faced the skinny fat struggle. your 21-day plan aligns with my journey. found my way with Aspect Health, not imposing, just sharing. sustainable changes matter. your advice on balance and gradual progress resonates. much gratitude.

I'm so excited for this! You provide the most comprehensive info and it makes me feel like I can actually do this! I've been gathering info you provided and making a schedule for myself the last couple days which I will be starting soon. Here we go 2024!

Very excited to have found your channel! It's crazy how often I see workouts tailored for taller bodies and am now putting it together why they never worked for my 5'2 frame. I'm very excited to start this!

I have been following you for a year now and I just love how you articulate and layout your workout plans for petite women. I am 5'4" and when I started college last year I burnt out quick, I cut lots of fat, but it was not sustainable. My body immediately went into storage overdrive and I ended up right back where I started! I was very discouraged and have not been consistent since then because I have just been trying to heal my relationship with food and going back to therapy. I say all of that to say that your wisdom and advice has been so uplifting and I will be jumping back in slow and steady for the new year to nurse my body back to health! I love what you do and I look forward to all of your new and up and coming content! Happy New Year!

Yes, finally a video for the petites. Being 4’11 it’s hard to find something that helps.

Thank you so much for this! Finally getting the motivation to get back into taking care of myself again. Sometimes its difficult trying to figure out where to start, so thank you for suggesting these simple steps!

This makes so much sense. I am 4 foot 9. At my heaviest I was 216lbs and my lowest was 106lbs. I am now 157 and I'm looking to be around 110. Never knew being petite was different in terms of exercise and food. Thanks for the info.

Wow as if the universe said "here's your confirmation" lol. Im struggling loosing the last 10 lbs (goal:30 lbs)..I've noticed my appetite has increased these past 2 weeks and was thinking of adding protein to my oatmeal. (the other 2 meals are already heavy on protein).. So off to youtube I go..and I stumbled across this video🙃.. little did I know theres videos on petite women 🥰🙌.. how neat 💕

Intermittent fasting is a great way to control your weight, and will naturally curve your appetite, also has a wide range of benefits. I lost 110 pounds by eating low carb and intermittent fasting!

No, no need to track calories burned from exercise, it's not helpful and it doesn't translate into calories you can "earn back" through eating.

Hello April, also a petite and I love your content! I work out and lift and am already maximizing my protein intake (I try to reduce my animal products consumption so it is hard to reach 100g/day). When you mention 35% protein this is 35% with respect to your overall daily calories intake isn't it? Thanks :)

What kind of strength training / weight lifting do you recommend? How do you split your workouts? Can you do home work outs? Many thanks x

Can I ask your thoughts on pole dance as exercise? I currently do that, and it's definitely helped me to gain muscle/strength. My diet is not wonderful and I am looking to change that. I also would like to cross train for pole. But I am wondering if the lifting and muscle control use in pole tricks is enough?

That oatmeal looks🔥!! May we have the recipe in a comment, please? 🙏

Hey Julie! If you join the PWRhouse, you can join that and start ANY day you like :). For Petite PWR Premium (working with our coaches), we start January 8 (monday). You can learn more about the 2 programs here: www.petitepwr.com/

All of this resonates so much with me, and I’ve been trying out everything April mentioned… but at the same time I am training for a half marathon and am a runner…. Does someone know if this the key problem that could keep me skinny fat? I don’t know how to fit my running passion into my fat loss journey… 😅

The eating in the morning is the thing that I struggle with the most and it also confused me. I feel like half the people say IF til the afternoon and the other day eat every morning. I have some stomach issues due to Celiac Disease and many years of “disordered eating “ (not sure if I’m allowed to say the correct way) but because of those things I put off eating in the morning and just drink coffee and water because I’m afraid of the stomach pain and also kinda feel afraid of the “early calories” in the day. 😣

@AprilVWhitney

At the end of the day, you should try to do what's right for you, and it may take a little experimentation. It's not one-size fits all and you can definitely tailor this to your needs and considerations given your stomach issues you've been dealing with.

Thanks a lot!! The question is, when may I consider myself skinny fat? I've always been chubby and then overweight, but I've lost weight and now I'm 60 kilos (160 cm). Do I consider myself as a skinny fat and am I able to follow this plan?

Blaaaahhh. I usually can’t eat breakfast. It genuinely makes me feel sick.. 😅

I'm just under 5'1" and currently at 155lbs at my heaviest I was 196lbs but I started my diet in February at 167lbs. My goal is 135lbs because I just don't think it's possible for me to get any lower than that with my muscle mass. I see other petite ladies at 112-116 lbs but I just can't ever see that for myself (I wish I could). Maybe I'll feel differently once I'm hit goal weight.

I’m 5’4 and a half “ 😂 I feel like I definitely don’t look ‘petite’ either but I’ll see if this could maybe work for me. Also prefer more low carb eating so 40% carbs is a ton 😯

I would love to join this plan and powerhouse. How much is it where do I sign up ? Also is there a WhatsApp group for accountability ?

if I am a tall woman, will I take adventage of your videos?

Attempting to eat a lot of protein has been hard on my gut I had to find ways to eat protein through veggies and lentils and include more fish

I need a video to break this video down because I don’t know what macros and the other stuff is. I’m so confused right now.

I am a 40 years old, thyroid problems, and a disesase that makes me do remedies that impact my liver. I do a deficit calorie diet, high protein meals, I exercize every day ( at least 5 times a week) and I STILL don't see significant changes... :(

Hi! This would work for a “avarage” height women too?

wait i’m like 5’6? will this still work for me?

That macro ratio seems like so many calories! 😮

@TaraT522

6 ай бұрын

Not necessarily, it just depends on how many total you eat, it’s a normal ratio.. 25% fat is low…

Would eating protein bars and drinking protein shakes count towards total protein? (Good for breakfast or not?) Literally I feel skinny fat. People say I’m skinny, but it’s because the only fat I have is all in the tummy area, which I kind of hide by not wearing a cropped shirt ever.

Do you work out fasted in the morning or eat some carbs beforehand?

@AprilVWhitney

6 ай бұрын

There is no right answer here. I personally get up and wake up early so I train fasted, then eat my breakfast post-workout. Sometimes I will have matcha beforehand though for the caffeine (in place of pre workout) and that does also deliver some carbs because of the milk, but it's not substantial.

Well I don’t have a appetite so I’m doing good if I eat once a day. So what can I do fix it?

I think before worrying about when to eat , u should try to look at why you're feeling nausea in morning, your problem could be gut health. i had the same problem. But it was due to the fact that I had to go to college and have breakfast before that which was mostly 7 am . And used to wake up at like 6 so . Too soon. And it was due too my gut health. I had to make some big changes in my diet so now I'm fine. Try making some changes in ur life style. Research and all

In my experience, this is something that is a built up habit. Slowly increasing caloric intake in the morning will help. It’s a symptom of a healthy metabolism when you’re hungry when you wake up.

Along with having structured meal times, should we worry about how many grams of protein carbs and fats should be in each meal throughout the day? Is it more important to have more or less of a certain macro at a certain meal? And how many meals would you advise to best split your calories/ macros into? X

@AprilVWhitney

6 ай бұрын

Petite women do great having some time between meals to digest, because it gives your body a chance to burn off fat reserves. I recommend 3 meals and a snack for most (and avoid just grazing all day). In terms of macros, prioritize protein, and try to consume veggies for carbs, and healthy fats as well - if it's balanced with a protein, carb and fat, and you eat until you're a 6 out of 10 on the fullness scale, you will be in a great place!

Why is skinny fat bad? At least that seems like the video implication? It seems like 'fat' pictures are still below 30% body fat? I get wanting to build muscles, but doesn't losing fat also lose out on energy reserves? I assume that the number varies individually, but I'd think there's a sweet spot for having X amount of muscle to Y amount of fat for folks that's not too much, not too little? I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject, so genuine question. 🤔

If it's about feeling strong, why are all the benefits demonstrated visual photos with an emphasis on reducing flabbiness and not having cellulite? Does having less cellulite make folks feel stronger? Maybe my listening comprehension is off, but nothing in the video really touched on what makes a person feel strong? Is it having bigger muscles? None of the photos really emphasized muscles getting bigger, just overall size being smaller. Does getting rid of fat give people more energy to lift heavier weights? The meal step might be the part that has emphasis on feeling strong, since it's about eating enough to fuel exercise. I can follow why protein macros are important but no idea why the ratios are what they are. Folks with more knowledge , is there a difference between 40% carbs and 60% carbs? Does it matter if protein is 30% but still 100g? I'm not always the best at picking up subtext, so thanks to anyone who replies breaking explanations down a little more concretely and literally. ❤

​​@@stephanieok5365it might be because let's be real a lot of the women following her are likely doing so to have less body fat/ be smaller and more toned so she's probably trying to include and advertise to them. Maybe also because she looks strong now (you can see in her legs and abs) so it makes her feel stronger? Also you're right she was never skinny fat. Skinny fat means someone is *under muscled* and it has been linked to lots of poor outcomes now (I think issues with insulin, diabetes, Alzheimers but you can look it up). She was fine before, but wanted to be more toned (and that's okay).

Get to the point
