Quick takeaways
Girls are starting their periods at a younger age, potentially due to factors such as increased calorie intake and obesity.
Childhood obesity has more than doubled in the last 30 years and may contribute to the trend of earlier periods.
It's important to educate young girls about their bodies and provide support during puberty to promote healthy development.
Transitioning from a competition prep to everyday life can be challenging, but focusing on strength training, gradually increasing calories, and prioritizing performance over appearance can help.
Deep dives
Girls starting their periods earlier
There is a trend of girls starting their periods at a younger age, with the average age decreasing from 16.5 in the 1800s to around 13 in recent years.
Possible reasons for earlier periods
One possible reason for the trend is an increase in calorie intake, as obesity can signal the body to start reproductive processes earlier. Other factors, such as endogenous estrogens, may also play a role.
Childhood obesity and its impact
Childhood obesity has more than doubled in the last 30 years, which may contribute to the trend of earlier periods. Excess weight and overnourishment can signal the body to start reproductive processes at a younger age.
Educating and supporting young girls
It is important to educate young girls about their bodies and provide support during puberty. Recognizing and addressing factors that contribute to early periods, such as obesity, can help promote healthy development.
Struggling with Reverse Dieting
The speaker went through a 16-week competition prep, but decided not to compete. However, she had a hard time with her reverse diet after the prep. She felt hungry even when eating more calories and struggled to stick to the reverse. She is currently doing 20 minutes of cardio on a Peloton four times a week.
Advice for Transitioning from Competition Prep to Everyday Life
The speaker is looking for advice on transitioning from competition prep to everyday life. They are struggling with hunger and finding it difficult to stick to the reverse diet. They also want to find a balance between strength training and jiu-jitsu. They are currently eating just under 2000 calories and doing 20 minutes of cardio four times a week on a Peloton.
Recommended Approach
The speaker is advised to focus on strength training and gradually increase calories. They are recommended to eliminate cardio for now and concentrate on getting stronger. Once they feel strong and healthy, they can reintroduce cardio gradually. The speaker is also recommended to follow a powerlifting program, such as MAPS Powerlift, to build strength.
Addressing Calorie Concerns
The speaker is encouraged to increase calories to support their goals and focus on performance rather than weight or appearance. They are advised to not weigh themselves and judge their progress based on strength and overall health. It is suggested that they let go of concerns about body fat and focus on building strength and feeling good in their body.
