Ep 92: Bikini Coach Insider: Fat Loss or Muscle Gain: Which is “Harder”?

<p>On this week’s episode of Bikinis After Babies, we are coming to you with some of our insight into competition prep from our perspective both as coaches and competitors ourselves! </p><p><br></p><p>One subject that often comes up is the process of changing body composition and the argument that fat loss is harder than muscle gain…or vice versa.   </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode we dive deep into this debate and discuss the following key points:</p><ul><li>Is the challenge physical or psychological?</li><li>Is “weight loss” being confused with actual fat loss?</li><li>Are women underestimating how long muscle building truly takes?</li><li>Does social media distort expectations for both?</li><li>Is maintenance actually the hardest phase of all?</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Many of our clients are starting prep and the countdown is both thrilling and nerve-wracking! Every check-in is a reminder of how much work lies ahead.  We hope the concepts and strategies discussed in this episode help motivate and inspire you, wherever you’re at on your fitness journey, to put in the work, day in and day out…..the work is WORTH IT! </p><p><br></p><p>We hope that you enjoyed this episode and if so, we would LOVE it if you would rate, subscribe, and leave us reviews on how this podcast has helped you 💕 We’d also love to hear from you about future topics you would like us to discuss so please leave us a comment or reach out to us with your questions and suggestions!</p><p>About Momshell Method Fitness:</p><p>Ready to embark on your fitness journey?  We would love to help you reach any fitness goal from losing the baby weight to crushing your competition goals!  </p><p><br></p><p>Follow this link to schedule a discovery call with one of our team members and learn how Momshell Method Fitness can provide you with the tools you need to be successful with customized nutrition and training plans for busy moms → <a href="http://bit.ly/loseweightgetsexy">http://bit.ly/loseweightgetsexy</a></p><p>Contact your hosts:</p><p>Mandy Rochon </p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mandyrochonfit/">https://www.instagram.com/mandyrochonfit/</a> </p><p>Facebook: Mandy Rochon</p><p><br></p><p>Gillian Hughes, IFBB Bikini Pro</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gillianhughes_momshell/">https://www.instagram.com/gillianhughes_momshell/</a></p><p>Facebook: Gillian Hughes</p><p><br></p><p>Mandy’s Posing Sessions</p><p>1:1 In Person (KC Posing Studio) →  <a href="https://bit.ly/inpersonposingwithmandy">https://bit.ly/inpersonposingwithmandy</a></p><p>1:1 Virtual Posing → <a href="https://bit.ly/virtualposingwithmandy">https://bit.ly/virtualposingwithmandy</a></p><p><br></p><p>Posing with Gillian Hughes, IFBB Bikini Pro</p><p>1:1 In Person (St Louis Posing Studio) → <a href="https://bit.ly/stlposingwithgillianifbbpro">https://bit.ly/stlposingwithgillianifbbpro</a></p><p>1:1 Virtual Posing → <a href="https://bit.ly/virtualposingwithgillianifbbpro">https://bit.ly/virtualposingwithgillianifbbpro</a></p><p><br></p><p>Nuethyx Formulations Supplements → </p><p><a href="https://nuethix.com/">https://nuethix.com/</a></p><p>(Use code “Momshell” to save 10% off your order)</p><p><br></p><p>Toxic Angelz Bikinis → <a href="https://toxicangelzbikinis.com">https://toxicangelzbikinis.com </a></p><p>(Use code “GILLIAN” or code “MANDY”  to save 10% off your order)</p><p><br></p><p>MISAJO Sports → <a href="https://shopsiham.com/collections/workout">https://shopsiham.com/collections/workout</a></p><p>(Use code “GILLIAN10” to save 10% off your order)</p><p><br></p><p>Squeeze Me Skinny Waist Trainers → <a href="https://www.squeezmeskinny.com">https://www.squeezmeskinny.com </a></p><p>(Use code “MOMSHELL” to save 10% off your order)</p><p><br></p><p>The Shoe Fairy competition heels → <a href="https://www.shoefairyofficial.com">https://www.shoefairyofficial.com </a></p><p>(Use code “momshell” to save 15% off your order)</p><p><br></p><p>Labwork and Personalized Recommendations:  Practitioner Depot: <a href="https://bit.ly/practitionerdepotxmomshell">https://bit.ly/practitionerdepotxmomshell</a> (Use code “momshell” to save 5% off your order)</p><p><br></p><p>Our Amazon storefront- fitness outfits, more supplements, beauty items and competition needs → <a href="https://amzn.to/46GL1nd">https://amzn.to/46GL1nd</a></p>
