Act like a lady, Eat like a man

Wait, so am I going to get fat??

A question any normal lifter wouldn't even bother to ask. But, alas, I am a female 20 something and we are programmed since day one to be constrictive of our diets and to look in the mirror and say "how can I look better?" It is no secret that smolov isn't going to make me some ripped fitness model. Granted, that can come after I finish (hello metcons!). 

But to say I'm completely fine with gaining a few pounds during this, would be a lie. I know it is what I'll have to do and I will do it, but this is going to be a mental challenge for me as well as a physical one. It's possible for a while I wont particularly love what I see in the mirror, I am going to have to let go of being self-critical and look at the big picture. I'M GONNA GET FREAKING STRONG. I have been told over and over again, Strength is much harder to gain than leaning out. 

So, I've seen some incredibly ridiculous things about what people eat while on smolov, (candy as a food group!?) I'm going to need calories, lots of them. So if your looking for a perfect paleo intake guide, please look somewhere else. i will be eating carbs, dairy and lots of meat. I will try my best to avoid gluten because it does make my stomach hurt. I will not eat like total crap but I will be eating a lot. 

Basically, i am going to listen to my body and if I'm hungry..I'm going to eat. No restrictions.
