Today we are honored to listen to Jenny Weaks who placed second in the 7th Venus Index Transformation Contest.
Check out her beautiful transformation from the 12 Week Contest:
Jenny learned that the key to getting a good shape was the right amount of food and a good weight training program designed for women.
Read what Jenny wrote about her experience with Venus Index:
I was in week 8 of Phase 1 when the contest started. I got to week 11 and decided to jump on to Phase 2 because there was so much buzz on the forums about it. The 1st six weeks I did very minimal cardio, mainly just walking when I felt like it. Aside from continuing to focus on fat loss, I decided (based on midway progress pictures), that I needed to focus more on my arms and glutes. I was losing a lot of weight quickly and my arms looked pretty skinny compared to my legs. My butt was getting flat too, so I decided to do some specializations for arms and butt at that point and I continued them through to the end. The nutrition side of Venus is what really drove my success. I did a minimum of two 36-48 hour fasts per week. RTD called for 800 calories a day for me, so I found it much easier to just not eat a few days a week than to eat so low in calories. That deficit was hard at times, and I had some setbacks along the way, but I learned quickly that any higher calorie days were more bloat than fat. A fasting day would bring me right back down. I lost 15 pounds during VT7 and got down to 21% bodyfat (tested by DEXA scan). I didn’t quite make all my VI measurements, so that is my next goal.

About Roberta Saum
What an amazing transformation! Loving these progress pics! WTG Jenny! So inspiring!
I just listened to the interview and took notes. I’m hypothyroid too, take Levothyroxine and have to wait 30 mins to eat breakfast too. I’m in the same boat now you used to be in! Eating 1200 calories a day and MAINTAINING! Some people say Eat More to Weigh Less I just gained! Never dreamed of eating lower but definitely going for it! Yep I’ve done so many exercise programs before too listed on my profile page. I love how Venus targets the exact shape I’m looking for. I finally realized extra protein wasn’t helping me either. I was up to 100 g a day and trying to get higher. Until I found out that ballet dancers only consume 50-70g a day. And now Venus is about the same way. So right now my stomach is also flatter with less protein. I’m going to finish Phase I up over the summer and start Phase II in Sept. I’m so glad John finally explained the android gynoid thing! Thank you both for a wonderful audio presentation!
So glad it was helpful for you Mary!!
