Kaloni’s Journey

Kaloni’s transformation wasn’t without its challenges. After completing her first fat loss phase with GFIT, she spent a year in maintenance but became frustrated by a lack of visible progress. She realized the key obstacles holding her back:

Under-fueling: She wasn’t eating enough to fuel her training and muscle growth.
Ineffective Training: She wasn’t pushing her muscles to failure or incorporating progressive overload.
Weekend Overindulgence: Excessive calorie flexibility on weekends stalled her transformation.

In 2023, Kaloni committed to a new approach:

Fueling for Performance: She embraced eating more to train harder and recover better.
Ditching HIIT Workouts: She replaced them with strength training, steady-state cardio, and daily steps.
Building Muscle: Kaloni spent eight months in a muscle-building phase, followed by a fat-loss phase to reveal her progress.
‍

Nutritional Blueprint

Kaloni’s revamped nutrition approach focused on fueling her body effectively:

Calories: 2,100 to 3,000 daily, tailored to her training phase.
Meal Structure: Transitioned from five to six smaller meals to four larger meals, leaving her feeling full and satisfied.
Protein: Over 1 gram per pound of body weight (160 grams total) spread across meals.
Whole Foods: Focused on nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods high in fibre and micronutrients.
Flexibility: Tracked free meals monthly and high-calorie flex days weekly for sustainability. 
‍

Strength Training Regimen

Kaloni’s strength training focused on efficiency and progression:

Frequency: Five strength-training sessions weekly, emphasizing progressive overload.
Rest: Increased rest between sets, improving strength gains and training quality.
Deloads: Included strategic deload weeks when signs of fatigue emerged during weekly check-ins.

Lifestyle

Kaloni’s lifestyle changes supported her transformation:

Cardio & Steps: Daily 30-minute fasted LISS cardio and post-meal walks to support digestion and blood sugar regulation contributed to an average of 10,000–12,000 steps daily.
Tracking: Diligently logged her workouts, steps, and sleep.
Recovery: Prioritized consistent sleep hygiene and stress management.

Supplementation

Kaloni incorporated strategic supplements to enhance her performance, recovery, and overall health:

Pre-Workout: Caffeine and green tea extract for fasted cardio to support fat oxidation.
Intra-Workout: Creatine and essential amino acids for strength and recovery.
Post-Workout & Sleep: Magnesium glycinate and KSM-66 for stress management and improved sleep.
High-Carb Meals: A glucose disposal agent to optimize carbohydrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
Daily Essentials: Multivitamins, Omega-3s, and vitamin D, complemented by a hydration ritual with water, iodized salt, and lemon juice

Results

Kaloni’s journey has been nothing short of transformational. She began with a 3-month primer phase to prepare her body and mind, focusing on building sustainable habits. This was followed by an 8-month muscle-building phase prioritizing strength, metabolic health, and lean tissue development. She then transitioned into a 4-month fat loss phase, revealing the results of her hard work. Kaloni implemented a reverse diet to stabilize and sustain her achievements and maintain her progress.By embracing effective strength training, fueling her body with proper nutrition, and prioritizing metabolic health, Kaloni has achieved the physique she always dreamed of and built a resilient, well-balanced body less prone to weight regain.
