“I Don’t even Recognize Myself Anymore…”

by

Tamara stood in front of the mirror, tugging at the waistband of her leggings.

Nothing felt like it fit right anymore.

She wasn’t out of shape. She wasn’t new to working out.

But her body felt… different.

  • Softer, even though she was training.
  • More tired, even though she was “doing everything right.”
  • Like no matter how much effort she put in, nothing was working.

She used to feel strong. In control. Like herself.

Now?

She barely recognized the woman looking back at her.

“I guess this is just what happens after 40?”

Tamara had spent months trying to figure it out on her own.

Maybe she needed to cut carbs.
Maybe she wasn’t working hard enough in the gym.
Maybe this was just… normal?

Maybe this is just what happens after 40.

So she doubled down.

More workouts. More tracking. More discipline.

And nothing changed.

That’s when she realized—she wasn’t dealing with a lack of effort problem.

She was dealing with a metabolism problem.

“I didn’t realize how much I was fighting against my own body.”

By the time Tamara joined The Strong & Sculpted Method, she felt defeated.

But from our very first conversation, it was clear:

She wasn’t broken.
Her metabolism adapted to what she gave it (the little amount of food she did eat).
She needed to work with her body instead of against it.

So we stopped forcing things.

We rebuilt her foundation with training, nutrition, and recovery that actually supported her body in her 40’s.

We started off with the Fueled Phase. And in just a few months?

🔥 Her energy came back.
🔥 She gained muscle and her body composition started shifting.
🔥 She went from eating barely 1500 calories a day to crushing 2300 calories a day (+800 calories a day) and incorporating more carbs (she had a history of Keto).
🔥 She felt strong again—not just physically, but mentally.

She had spent months feeling stuck, exhausted, and frustrated.
And now?

She finally felt like herself again, so we were able to start a Fat Loss Phase. She lost nearly 10 pounds and improved her body composition eating more calories than when she started with me.

If you feel like this too…

You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re not “just getting older.”

You’re just missing the approach that actually works for your body now.

✔️ Eat for metabolism, muscle, and real results—without giving up your favorite foods.
