She has had four pregnancies and a long eating problem, but her beautiful physique doesn’t seem to testify to one thing or the other: the splendid Heidi Powell, wife of Chris Powell and star with him of the Xtreme Makeover programs , is in fact living proof that weight lifting in the gym does not make you big if you are a woman and that body composition is an important item when you want to lose weight.
Heidi, in fact, has a beautiful physique, and for the last two pregnancies she continued physical activity as long as she could. She trains five times a week doing weightlifting, running and crossfit. So, if we try to understand why Heidi Powell is so thin we must first think about the training she does and the fact that it is associated with a healthy diet.

But if we want to lose weight, we know that Heidi and Chris advocate alternating carbohydrates to lose weight in a very simple way. By combining their turbo diet with physical activity, they can lose 6 kg in one month.
In fact, with the turbo cycle , low-carbohydrate days alternate with high-carbohydrate days.
The scheme is as follows:
Monday and Tuesday: low carb
day Wednesday: high carb day
Thursday and Friday: low carb
day Saturday: high carb day
Sunday: compensation meal day

In order for this scheme to make us lose 6 kg in a month it is necessary to train more intensely on the high carb days or concentrate on those days the maximum of activities. Monday (after Sunday with free meal), Wednesday and Saturday become days in which to train and move more. But how much to eat. Here is a pattern for low carb days and high carb days. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2)
