The more popular fitness becomes, the faster the number of photos on the Internet in which athletic girls proudly show off their perfect bodies is growing. Perfect abs, round toned buttocks and a minimum of fat - perfect. Undoubtedly, all this looks very beautiful, but few people guess at what cost the fitness divas managed to achieve such results.
There are very few people who can absolutely not limit themselves in anything and at the same time not accumulate fat. Women in particular are prone to putting on extra pounds, which is why they need to put more effort into keeping fit.
What sports girls sacrifice to make their body look perfect
Menstrual failure
Athletic girls who participate in fitness competitions will never admit that they have several months, or even years, without menstruation. Meanwhile, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) is a rather serious violation, due to which there is an imbalance of hormones, disruption of the reproductive system, thyroid gland, etc.
Some fitness divas still manage to restore the hormonal system in a couple of months, while others take years of treatment.
Post-competition swelling
After the competition ends, fitness models gain 3, 6, 10 kilograms in just a couple of days. This is due to the fact that carbohydrates are again present in the diet. Such drastic changes provoke swelling and pain throughout the body due to the strong stretching of the skin.
“Drying” on the eve of the competition involves not only minimizing the amount of carbohydrates consumed, but also giving up water a day before entering the stage, as well as taking diuretics. Naturally, such an emergency withdrawal of fluid from the body does not lead to anything good.
Relapses due to hormonal imbalance
Everyone who follows an overly strict diet breaks down sooner or later. The desire to become the owner of a perfect body makes girls eat almost nothing. When the psyche fails due to constant restrictions, everything ends with uncontrolled eating of cake, sweets and pastries. Such breakdowns are the result of unbalanced hormones and therefore it is simply impossible to resist them.
Everyone thinks that the ideal figure of sports girls is the result of eating only boiled chicken breast and buckwheat. However, you won’t live long on such food, because it is not able to provide enough energy, as it does not provide the body with all the necessary vitamins and minerals.
Due to constant strict restrictions, the very breakdown occurs and this does not mean eating a candy, it is eating a couple of kilograms of sweets and having a cake.
To avoid such troubles, it is better not to set yourself strict prohibitions, eat everything, but within reasonable limits, and it is advisable not to skip the main meals.
Pharmacological effects on hormonal levels
Depending on the category in which the athlete performs, a course of special means is selected for her. It can be anything from relatively harmless drugs to hormonal ones. The latter provoke such changes as a coarsening of the voice, increased vegetation, an increase in the genitals and, of course, muscle growth.
Chest breast
Many bikini fitness models unanimously say that they have not had breast augmentation and they are all natural. However, this is impossible, since this part of the female body consists of adipose tissue and a gland. In most cases, due to the reduction of the fat layer in the body to a minimum, the breast turns into a sac with glands. Such a disproportion is a guarantee of low scores from judges at competitions, so almost all titled athletes opted for silicone breasts.
You need to train in order to maintain health, and not just for the cherished numbers on the scales or centimeter tape. The line between mind and addiction is very thin, and in the pursuit of the perfect press, you can completely forget that the main purpose of sports is not at all to form unsurpassed muscles, but to maintain good health.
