Top 5 Reason Females DON'T get results...

1. Too much Cardio

Cardio is an inefficient way to change your body shape, too much cardio and too little resistance training can imcrease fat storage in and around the muscles in the abdominals, hips and thighs and may also decrease sensitivity to insulin putting you at much higher risk of getting fat from food.

Consuming animal protein helps to improve testosterone ( and decreases estrogens) and contains important enzymes such as carnitine and carnosine which play important roles in fat burning.
