Thanks for explaining what you did Natalia... I keep reading this board, and I'm so torn between eating more and lifting, versus cutting back on calories while I still lift. I'm torn between going back to some SS and staying with only HIIT... I was committed to doing HIIT and lifting heavy and eating more, but I got scared that I wasn't losing fat (weight)... I don't want to end up hurting myself by not eating enough to recover from metabolically taxing workouts...
I love the workouts in NROL4W, but I'm having trouble trusting my body's levels of hunger, since I've been fat before (was up to about a size 16 about 10 years ago, and I'm only 5'2"). Then I read Espi's thoughts in the training section about doing SS and eating less (which is what I did for years and totally plateaued (did I spell that wrong??)). I know I need to COMMITT to one thing and do it... I did Stage 1 and ate more and felt great, but then had a bit of a panic about weight and now I'm not sure what to do.
I considered going to FL1 in NROL instead of stage 2 of NROL4W, but I really want to stay with NROL4W. So then I thought of adding extra HIIT sessions (which seems to be one major difference when Alwyn goes for fat loss)... Did you try any of these things, and what are your thoughts. You look AMAZING, by the way...
