Intermittent Fasting, Hormones, and Glute Goals: Science vs. Myths

Intermittent Fasting, Hormones & Glutes: Busting Myths & Building Science-Backed Strategies In this eye-opening episode of *No More Fitness Lies! , we tackle the tangled web of **intermittent fasting (IF)**, female hormones, and glute goals. Are fasting protocols sabotaging your hormones or supercharging your gains? Can IF alone shrink thigh fat and sculpt your booty—or is it all hype? Backed by cutting-edge research and real-world insights, we dissect the truths and lies dominating the fitness world. Here’s What You’ll Learn: 🔥 Myth-Busting Deep Dive: - Debunk the lie that IF automatically disrupts female hormones like estrogen and progesterone—and discover why extreme fasting windows (like 4-hour eating periods) are a red flag for premenopausal women. - Expose the "spot reduction" fantasy: Why IF alone won’t magically melt thigh fat or erase cellulite (spoiler: genetics and resistance training matter more!). - The truth about fasting and muscle loss: How to preserve (or grow!) your glutes while fasting, with protein timing strategies backed by sports scientists. 💡 Science Meets Reality: - PCOS & Fasting: Learn how women with PCOS can benefit from modified IF (e.g., 10-hour eating windows) to improve insulin sensitivity and menstrual regularity. - Post-Workout Nutrition: Why fasting after exercise spikes cortisol and sabotages recovery—plus the ideal carb-protein combo to fuel glute growth. - Age Matters: Tailored advice for perimenopausal women: Why heavy lifting and adjusted fasting protocols are non-negotiable for maintaining muscle and bone density. 🚨The Booty Center Solution: Struggling to balance fasting with your fitness goals?
