So this is one of the things that we're starting to really discover in the strength training research because it's relatively new. We're like, okay, we know that there's these sex differences in the muscle fiber types where women have more of these, you know, endurance type fibers, men have more of the fast twitch glycolytic fibers.

So if we really want to maximize the outcome of our strength training, we need to work to women's physiology where they don't need as much rest to get the same kind of stress and outcome.

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

Right. So this comes back to the, you know, the fasting. And I get really frustrated when more men will drop alcohol, they'll drop sugar, and then all of a sudden their abs are ripped, right? Yes. They're like, whew. belly fat gone. Yes. But for women, we tend to store belly fat. Correct. And if I'm not drinking, I want results. I know, but it doesn't necessarily happen. No, it doesn't, Dr. Sims.

It doesn't.

It doesn't.

It's very frustrating.

It's very frustrating.

We have a higher percent body fat. for one. And again, it comes down to food intake and hypothalamus. So if we start taking out food and not replacing those calories with something else, then we end up in a lower energy state. So that could be a whole nother podcast, but basically we're not eating enough to support body composition change, and health outcomes.

So if we talk about abs in the kitchen, if we're eating the same kind of grandparent diet, then we're going to have the same outcomes, right? But if we have the extra 20 bit of life where we're having chocolate and whiskey and all those fun things, man could take it out and get super ripped. Woman takes it out, there's no change. Why? Because the hypothalamus is like, where are those calories?
