Kimberlie Martin’s cuteTrainer

I would love to do a “people’s prep” for an upcoming contest to basically DEBUNK PREP MYTHS & new ideas/theories that people have read.  Meaning, for lets say 90 days I do everything you all *(as in bodyspace users) tell me to do, from cardio to lifting to supplementation to diet to standing on my head for an hour…I wish somebody would try everything I have read and tell me the positives, negatives, results, etc. and I think it would be a great experiment.

  I wouldn’t care if people correllated on it, or one person took 1 or 2 weeks, I mean the sky is the limit…but the only kicker is it’s all natural.  I have a large muscle base and compete figure & wouldn’t mind trying whatever it is, whether it be detox, the grapefruit diet, whatever anyone comes up with..300 rep sets, you name it.  I would then document all of it and have everyone follow progress, and conclusively can put an end to some prep ideas and back up others!  Let me know what you think…xoxo

giving up carbs for lent & being 5 weeks out tomorrow means i have to give up the majority of my sugar free candy as well (not all of it, but some)  Here is a little guide so next time you get a protein bar or whatnot make sure you check.
  I’ve tried to maintain as much muscle as possible up until this point and now it’s a fact that I will lose some…but it’s okay, I have enough to go around for a few people.  : )

WHAT is the deal with people on here constantly critiquing others ~everythings~…and asking for them to pay money to train with someone “certified” here “registered” there “sponsored” around the corner to improve physique?
  I would never go on here and be like train with me I’m certified in nutrition (I’m not in a Hospital.  I bloat due to eating ___,___ & I don’t digest ___ as fast as I can digest ___, & also I enjoy ___ so try to incorporate that into my diet—all of this doesn’t mean you, as a nutritionist, can read minds and will do all of the above), I’m certified in personal training (which isn’t everyone these days?), I won this show(some ridic federation). 
   I look damn good for training myself, only because I am constantly searching for new knowledge that I know will work for me.  I’m a blood type O which has a difficulty breaking down grains & legumes, I should more or less try and stick to red meats and vegetables.  I don’t exactly follow this to a T, but ketogenic diets do work for some people (myself included).  I also enjoy cooking, and I’d rather mix up a little good for me fats with my proteins & find carb-free “carb-a-likes”, or eat some breakfast turkey sausage once in a while, instead of the whopping 1 or 2 cups of brown rice=ew, oatmeal which I hate, or sweet potatoes which I dislike too.
Helpful hints are more than appreciated-obviously because I LOVE them and everyone who religiously reads this knows that I seriously read and pick apart everything said…just out of curiousity…and ultimately, everyone’s body is different.  That is why I say, nix the trainer if you have ever competed before and find out for yourself; you are learning things that are designed for YOUR body, not a generic stereotype. xoxo-yeah yeah i know the economy is bad, but seriously-save the advertising for your gym, not these things…

i gave up: carbs!!
I have a show 5 weeks out & this is the time when they all need to hit the road anyways.  Somehow I have much more willpower when God is involved?! lol.  I do keep fats in (I love making homemade alfredo sauce with chicken and carb-free shirataki noodles=the best invention EVER, pure fiber), sugar free candy/chocolate/gum, chinese takeout-egg fu yung or singapore mei fun where I bring my own carb-free shirataki noodles to cook in place of their carb loaded rice ones…I actually don’t mind it.  I don’t get a carb up day or anything, but on Sundays I still give myself a cheat meal.  Since it’s lent, I only really order one small thing (like a blizzard, or a souffle from panera, or a bagel) bc I feel guilty..God’s given me a lot =)
I still keep my training as high of intensity as I can, but naturally I was only repping 205 squats 6 times with good form 2 days ago =( and i otherwise stick to higher reps on the majority of things (I still throw heavy in there to keep my size and strength up though, I see no point in NOT pushing yourself and losing what was gained).

I am about to write an article for the site & I would love some of your input on this subject:
do you eat sugar free candy when dieting (if you are doing a keto diet)?
if not, why not? - laxative effect?
feelings, opinions, etc on sugar alcohols….

i love them. i still implement fats into my diet bc it is NO carb, which means these are perfect. and my stomach just so happens to be able to handle it.

this is such a hard part of dieting =(
I miss carbs, yes, but I miss sugar more!
I am a fan of chewing/spitting out (which sounds icky but its not that bad) & taking a few pecans(like 5 or 6) & dipping them in butter pecan ice cream or vanilla, only if Im out of sugar free candy

any helpful hints?

Hahaha alright everyone, I KNOW it’s not good, I KNOW I should not be doing it, i ALSO HAVE A MAJOR FEATURE PHOTOSHOOT THE DAY AFTER THE SHOW (APRIL 5TH). and I do HIIT cardio, even if it’s a long day.  I use hill settings and am at least half the time sweating my butt off…whether its on the elliptical or the stepmill or if I’m running, I always incorporate intervals into my cardio.  I just have a lot of energy? lol.
  I really just need new diet ideas I guess, or maybe I just needed to eat those borderline bad for me foods to get the temptation out of my system…I mean hey I had a pepperoni roll instead of a piece of pizza…I think my mind is just rebelling against my body!  But hearing it from mr. angry again today gave me the extra push I need to not have any lapses : ) thanks, buddy. tough love i see. hahahaa

I’m less than 6 weeks out from my show and I would think I’m all pumped about following the diet and etc and I simply am finding any avenue OUT of it.  I had reduced fat kettle cooked chips last nite, and I made my own granola on SUnday night…I really need some encouragement. I am only 21 and do enough cardio (and am not against doing cardio to make up for the extra food eaten) but I do not want to spend 3 hours on a machine every day.  I’m guessing it’s just a little phase I am going through and hope that it goes away like TOMORROW?!  help. i dont want my hard earned body to go down the shitter & my prep become ruined…

I do a ton of cardio however this past weekend I did not feel good whatsoever & missed 3 days of lifting & cardio; obviously you can’t really make up lifting but you can make up cardio.  im less than 6 weeks out & feel that every day counts.  I just started the last phase of my diet (low low carb low low fat) today & think its necessary to do the extra 3 hours.  As in go to the gym do 2 hours break lift 2 more hours just to make it even.  I have no problem doing it but isn’t that a little obsessive? is it really beneficial?
I knew a trainer who would assign 6 hour long cardio sessions a week; it didn’t matter if it was done all in one day or whenever…
just not sure! input appreciated-

and what makes it great is that I only have to start dieting 9 weeks out from a show, implement cardio 8 weeks out and drop the fat from my ketogenic diet 6 weeks out. I still get to keep cheat meals! it basically takes my 21 year old metabolism 3-4 weeks to lose "chub" & 6 to cut up! I will hate turning 25 =)
be jealous

well, lol, I just got out of an awful relationship that makes me want to be with someone who actually will appreciate me (and is also tall with dark features tan & a handsome gentleman)!!(…oh not to mention competes -loves to run-rollerblade-do outdoorsy things-SNOWBOARD WICKED[keep up on those dub blacks with me]-takes me shopping~hell just goes shopping with me-funny-loves autos-amazing family-the list goes on!)  I love being single too but this relationship was basically me being single the entire time-we NEVER went out and did things (due to his negligence of treating me like the princess I am) & in a year we went out to eat at a nice place maybe twice? we got arby’s on valentines day for my cheat meal & vday dinner.. so yeah blaH blaH I finally was like enough is enough & due to this unbelieveable amount of BULL SHIT I am sure my cortisol level is through the roof (and I am so close to a show & cannot afford that) lol

help cute boys! ha ha ha just playin =P

I’ve been doing the atkins(ketogenic) diet to lean down so far & I mean yeah I guess its been *okay* but im 6 weeks out & feel like if I continue I will not come in top shape. its not like I eat tons of butter but I do eat a few more fatty meats (turkey bacon, turkey sausage, pork tenderloin, etc), occasionally fry in canola oil, sometimes snack on pork rinds, once in a while have peanut butter with celery, add a little mexican cheese to a few dishes, if it comes down to it order fast food grilled chicken without the bun (& rarely if they are out of chix ill get burger w/o bun) and I limit my veggies to only fibrous and even then I limit the amounts of those I have, ill have protein bars
with less than 3g of sugar (remaining carbs are all sugar alcohols) lastly I will have sugar free candy such as russell stover’s chocolates or reese’s sugar free.  the most carbs ill have in a day are a handful of blueberries (only to avoid passing out) any suggestions? im a type O blood type & this falls in line with the diet I should be eating-meats & veggies avoiding grains & legumes (although I do sometimes snack on dry edamame or almonds). help! 6 weeks for this shit lol. I hate fish too. & last time I ate a chicken breast I puked.
