⠀
Are you cutting calories and doing hours of cardio??? 🥗🏃🏻‍♀️
This is the ❌WORST THING❌ you could do to improve metabolism, melt fat, and sustain the results. 🙅🏻‍♀️
⠀
Why?.... short 🤏 science lesson...
⠀
Basal Metabolic Rate: The calories required to keep your body functioning at rest. - Basically the minimum calories you burn daily. 🔥
⠀
Guess what increases Basal Metabolic Rate significantly... ➡️ MUSCLE! 💪
⠀
YEP!!! Burning calories while you sit at your desk at work! 🔥🔥🔥
⠀
Guess what decreases muscle fastest??? Not using it and not fueling it with weight-free cardio and low calorie diets.
⠀
YES, Strength training increases muscle, but not alone. 👉 You need quality food in abundance 🥗🍗🍠 and adequate recovery 😴💧... otherwise the opposite happens and muscle begins to deteriorate (atrophy).
⠀
Luckily there are 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 ways to make sure that balance is right!

"I JUST NEED TO DO IT!".....
Here's why you can't.
I had the pleasure of having coffee ☕️ with a woman today from our local Professional Women's Network about speaking at one of their events. (Very excited for this BTW)
I described to her the symptoms so many women experience that they are looking for a solution to…
Fatigue, Brain fog, Moodiness, Cravings, Sporadic eating habits, Weight gain/trouble losing weight, Trouble sleeping, Stress… the list goes on, right? 🙇‍♀️
“You’re speaking to me!” She said. “I’ve tried EVERYTHING to become healthier.” and then went on to list the things she's tried that most women have at one time or another.
“I know I need to just eat better food, workout consistently, get better sleep, and relax to see results. Ugh. I just need to DO IT!”
So I asked her, “So what is preventing you?”

“Im so busy during the day and then exhausted by the time I get home, the last thing I want to do is prep meals or work out.”

… at this point I get excited to help because she is NOT the first nor will she BE the last to describe this EXACT struggle and I know the proven solution.

SERIOUSLY - RAISE YOUR HANDS IN THE COMMENTS IF THIS STRUGGLE IS YOUR STICKING POINT TOO.

Whether it’s in the morning, mid-day, evening, or weekend that you have time for your self-care but are struggling to take advantage of it…. if you feel there’s an overwhelming aversion to actually executing those actions - THATS WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FIRST.
“Lemme ‘splain; no lemme sum up”:
HORMONES… You under-fueled, over-worked, under-slept…. and now they’re mad. 😡
If you connect with the experience above, your HORMONES are exhausted, hungry, and MOODY… and THEY have taken the reins, telling you to,... “Relax, eat those cookies, dont think too hard, … oh BTW did you see your husband left the milk out again… isn’t that ANNOYING?!… (RAWR!)” 👹
The “magic”… you can sooth those hormones and get them back on your side within 3-5 days. And then ✨VOILA✨… you have energy, you have clarity, your cravings are manageable, you’re not snapping at everyone… and THEN you can actually take those (MUCH EASIER) first steps to building that dream self-care routine......

Here’s to Happy Hormones! 🥰

Salmon skin - yes you can eat it and in most cases should! It has a higher concentration of anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats and vitamins.

Omega 3s are an important part of our daily diet and if you’re not getting it from fish - take a quality supplement (link in bio). It can reduce inflammation to FEEL better and support healthy weight loss and muscle gain/maintenance.

Some days are easier than others.

Not just for working out, eating right, managing stress, getting sh*t done…. But for ALL of it.

So on those difficult days, I meet myself where I’m at that day, not where I was the day before or where I hope to be the day after. And I set ONE goal to complete. ONE thing that I know will make tomorrow better... and let the rest of the day fall where it may.

Wednesday Win! 🥳
Shout out to Ms V who has been kicking butt for the last 12 weeks and seeing and feeling some phenomenal progress.

V. works full-time and takes care of her elderly mother full-time. Earlier this summer V. had been not feeling her best at all and not taking the time for her self that she so desperately needed.

After starting the Powerhouse Program, making some simple adjustments ,and being impressively consistent she is...

✅ Sleeping better
✅ Has more energy
✅ Lost over 10lbs
✅ Needing a belt for her favorite dress pants that were formally too tight.
✅ Seeing definition in her abs
✅ And feeling confidence in the path she is on... which is priceless!

If you would like to know what specifically Ms V has been doing to lose such dramatic inches (especially through her middle), I will send you a link to a free guide on the 5 steps she took, comment "interested"! :)

Adventure.

Hormone friendly. Everything in moderation tho. This is still calorie heavy and has sugar/carbs in it!!!
Optional: add 2 scoops of protein powder.

This sky. This man. Time spent with good great friends. I’m so grateful for these moments. 💗💗💗

🍑 Listen… I love my butt. I hope a year from now it is stacked extra large! But(t) it wasn’t always this way. For a long time I wanted to be skinny as possible (not a great goal) . Then I wanted to be strong AF (better, but I pushed some sketchy limits). Now I am proud of the lessons I’ve learned and the assets that I have gained along the way that have survived the test of time. Ladies, What’s your favorite body part???? Let’s hear some Body positivity.

Upper Body Workout today got me feeling like Arnold! Ladies, If this amount of arm muscle is more than you’d want for yourself, don’t be worried that you’re going to get bulky overnight from lifting heavy weights. I have been doing this for over a decade with intention of building max strength. My BODY TYPE (short mesomorph) just happens to build muscle quickly and my training for strength resulted in bulkier muscle groups. (I get asked a lot if I am/was a gymnast 🤸‍♀️ ). However Most women don’t have the genetics to build bulkier muscles like this. I know MANY women far stronger than I that have leaner looking muscles. SO… bottom line… genetics matter enormously in resulting body shape. Want to bulk a part of your body? 💪🦵🍑? I can teach you how! Want to lean out? I can help with that too! Ladies 30+, follow link in bio!

Late night snacky snack. Cottage cheese, tomatoes, fresh dill from my yard, and everything bagel seasoning. 🤤🥰 SO F’n good!!!

Stop trying to fix what’s “wrong” and start to reinforce what’s “right”. Leveraging your strengths and leaning into the things that make you special and happy is the surest way towards your goals. Follow link in bio to book a free call to learn what your strengths are.

🔥What’s the #1 enemy of your goals?🔥
I’m talking about the absolute biggest roadblock standing in your way.
There are so many to choose from:
Not having enough time
Lack of support
Not knowing what to do
Your genetics
Pizza
The list goes on and on!
😲 ... What if I told you that none of those things are actually your enemy?
That’s because… drumroll… the #1 thing standing in between you and your goals is:

YOU.
We get in our own way in so many ways. Here are just a few:
⬇️
You haven’t made reaching your goals a true priority. This means you let your healthy habits slide when you’re stressed/tired/something more fun comes along.
⬇️
You have imposter syndrome. You don’t think you are worthy of your goals, which makes it easier to quit.
⬇️
You haven’t set yourself up for success. It’s super easy to get discouraged and quit when you don’t have a plan, support, accountability, etc.
⬇️
You think you don’t have the willpower. EVERYONE (and I mean EVERYONE) struggles from time to time. But when you know WHY your goal matters to you, it’s easier to overcome those struggles.
⬇️
You let one “slip” derail you. No one is perfect 24/7. The people who reach their goals get up after a slip-up, dust themselves off, figure out what went wrong, and get back at it!

Those are just a few off the top of my head. There are dozens more.
💡BUT… knowing yourself and being aware of the ways that YOU tend to get in your own way, will help you to become even STRONGER.
What would happen if the next time you sabotaged yourself, you took some real time to think about the reasons why – without beating yourself up for it?
“Know that you are your greatest enemy, but also your greatest friend.” – Jeremy Taylor.
Your mindset makes all the difference!
Taking some real time to explore it – whether you do it by journaling, working with a coach, or talking with a trusted mentor or friend – can help you reconnect with the reasons your goals matter to you.
Because when your mindset is right, you can overcome just about any obstacle that is standing in your way!

5 Steps to Freedom!
Louder for those in the back...

Your hormones and metabolism (body chemistry) are 90% of the reason you feel:
🚩Tired
🚩Moody
🚩Distracted
🚩Anxious
🚩Depressed
🚩Bloated
🚩Constipated
🚩Sluggish
🚩Achy
🚩Restless
👆And all of those red-flag symptoms usual trigger eating more and moving less.

And let’s say you muster what little energy you have to workout hard and cut calories…
It actually only makes the situation worse! 🙇‍♀️

BECAUSE… those symptoms indicate your body is in a state of stress/survival where it will fight tooth and nail to retain visceral fat (fat around our mid-section) and water weight (muffin top, lower belly, & puffy face). Starving it if nutrients and stressing it more with intense exercise only makes it fight harder.

Our method guides women out of this state of metabolic and hormonal stress in 5 STEPS:
1️⃣ Assess what habits routines and beliefs are holding YOU as an individual back and get very clear on what it is YOU want to achieve, not what others say you "should".
2️⃣ Simple First Steps. Address the SIMPLEST changes to make to nurture your body chemistry back to normal and get you feeling better immediately and even seeing results in just days. So your extra energy and motivation supports more challenging changes.
3️⃣ Real Food. Nurture your body with nutrition that specifically addresses hormones and metabolism. REAL food that you can find in the grocery (not the mailbox) and your family will eat too!
4️⃣ Tone & Shape. Fitness that is efficient and effective for body SHAPE and a sustainable weight, not simply calorie burn.
5️⃣ Happy Hormones!!! Above all else, teaching each woman to recognize her “red flag symptoms” from her hormones, what it means, and exactly how to respond reactively and proactively.

Im looking for women that identify with the above symptoms willing to have a FREE 15 minute hormone assessment and diagnosis. - NOT A SALES CALL -

You don’t have to do this alone. We’re in your corner. 🤝
Comment “free hormone assessment” and our team will reach out!

If you lost 10lbs per month, how long would it take to reach your goal?

30 Days In .... and her results deserve some bragging!!
•••••••••••••••••
And make sure you catch the part where she says “I dont feel deprived”.
That’s because in order for change to stick and be sustainable, it needs to match each individual’s schedule & lifestyle....and still be enjoyable.
A successful program is one that meets you where you're at and builds from there in simple achievable ways.

💥Among the chaos of motherhood, I have to make time to get my workouts in. 💥
And since I didn’t have time to make it to the gym today, I also made room. Shoving toys 🚗🧩🪀🏀⚽️🧸 out of the way since our workout room doubles as the play room and catch-all for the boys toys. So my space isn’t always clean and set up perfectly, but it’s enough.
I used to think that if I’d missed a class workout - oh well, try again tomorrow. Doing this repeatedly broke up my routine and left me less and less motivated to workout.
I eventually discovered that motivation follows action. ➡️ If I missed a class workout, but still made time to do even a short but effective exercise, even if I was tired, I always felt better AND began to CRAVE the workouts. This is not a fluke. It’s habit building. It’s science. 🤓
BUSY MOMS: Do you have 30min in your day and a toy-cluttered corner? 🧸🏀🪁⚽️🧩 I can teach you how to WANT to make it happen too. 🤗 💪

Good bye muffin top! See ya later back rolls! Peace out puffy tired face!
WHY LEAN MASS IS YOUR SECRET TO THE WEIGHT LOSS YOU WANT...
Lean mass is VITAL
Yes, of course age • genetics • hormones can all affect weight loss.
But guess what? 🤷‍♀️ You can’t control these things...What you can ACTUALLY control comes down to diet (no, not dieting—I’m talking the foods you eat) and exercise!
Speaking of exercise 🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏋️‍♀️... some forms definitely have a better return on investment than others.
Warning ⚠️ If you aren’t focusing on building lean mass ... you should be.

Hi there! Our FREE Facebook group helps busy women NATURALLY balance hormones, rejuvenate metabolism, and decrease inflammation for fast sustainable weight-loss, increased energy, and reduced stress.

❌No time-consuming workouts
❌No restrictive diets
❌No meal replacements or required supplements
Join our Powerhouse Community Facebook Group: www.margaretaltshul.com

----- Here's what the group is all about 👇-----
This is group dedicated to the unique struggles modern women face in the health and fitness journey.

Our strategy: By balancing hormones, reducing inflammation, and BOOSTING METABOLISM you can literally have your cake and eat it too! Fast sustainable fat loss, endless energy, mental clarity, improved s*x drive, clear skin, healthy hair and nails... and so much more!

It's time to recognize what you CAN control and what you CAN'T.
Weight issues are directly related to hormones. As women hormones are particularly sensitive to physical, mental, and environmental stimulus. Easily they can be thrown "out of wack".

Trying to "fix" this with caloric restriction, intense workouts, minimal rest, and obsessive actions does NOT work long-term.
You can find yourself in a vicious cycle of loss and gain... maybe you're already there.

When you are also managing a career and/or raising a family, you face additional unique struggles of how to prioritize yourself along with family and work. It can be hard to know what to do.

Have you begun grasping for solutions that just result in a repeated cycle of restriction then failure?

The struggle ENDS HERE - the method of metabolism rejuvenation is the LAST ONE you will EVER NEED. -
Guaranteed!
