I feel like popeye, but I look like Olivia!
Any thoughts?

After 9 years of continuous poletraining and 6 years of teaching I needed a pause. So I took 3 months pause from my privat training. I think this was important 🙂

I bought size EU 39 and I have a 39. So easy? Hm maybe for me. I know the size struggle is real!
Btw. at the beginning the straps were very tight!

Heyy guys,
been back in the gym for about 3 weeks now after almost 2 months off (life happened 🫠). Strength is coming back faster than I expected, I’d say I’m around 80% already, motivation is slowly creeping back too, so overall things are looking good.
BUT I’ve got a pretty annoying issue right now… my vegan protein shakes are absolutely wrecking me 😅
Talking serious bloating and just feeling off in the stomach. Yeah kinda awkward to post, but maybe someone here has dealt with this.
Some context:
Goal is around 130g protein per day
Shakes are blends from different plant sources, not just pea or something
Sweetness is moderate, not those super sugary ones
Before my break I didn’t really have problems with them, now suddenly it’s a different story. Rest of my diet is pretty normal, nothing crazy changed.

Has anyone experienced this after a break?
Appreciate any advice
Stay strong
Greetings from Austria,

Seit Tagen hat er zu. Was wird da los sein? Zumindest freut sich der kleine Dorfladen ums Eck

Yesterday I was lucky, got the last vegan Sushi- fresh and handmade. What‘s your fav carbs for refeed?

You better stay allone 😂 !

I’m pushing my protein intake to keep my gains and definition, but as we know, a high-protein plant-based diet can lead to bloating. It’s frustrating when you work hard for your core aesthetics but feel bloated!

I’d love to hear from you:

• What are your go-to protein sources that are easy on the digestion?

• Do you use specific digestive enzymes or fermented foods that actually work?

• Are there any foods you’ve had to cut out because the bloat just wasn't worth it?

Let’s swap some tips! I want to keep the protein high without losing the flat stomach and definition. 🌿💪
