I want to congratulate Jennifer Helmke for an outstanding job this past weekend at the INBF / WNBF World Championships. This is her 2nd women’s figure competition in which she won 1st place in her class! Yeah Jen!! To make it even better, all of the 1st place finishers in each class also walked home with a PRO CARD! So next time Jennifer competes it will be as a PRO in the WNBF World Natural Bodybuilding Federation.
Jennifer started with me for lifestyle nutrition and coaching just last April. Her MazzCore Lifestyle Program began by having her have foods she wasn’t used to… Pizza, cereal, Superpretzels, but a ton of clean healthy foods too. My point is that you CAN still enjoy foods you love now and then if you plan out your nutrition and have a successful strategy or system.
One more thing. I kept her calories between 1600 and 2100 and she lost body fat each week. I used a specific strategy of feeding to have her utilize those calories and try and put on muscle mass during the start of the program.
Her dedication and focus has been amazing. She has been the ideal client because she was so focused and determined to see her goal through. All I had to do was make changes to her food and I knew what to expect at each weekly follow up. There was no wondering if she was doing what I asked her to do. I love working with clients like Jen and could really help take them to another level since I’m seeing how their body reacts to different foods. Once we find something that works awesome we keep with it and make small necessary changes to keep the body changing.
I would like to thank her family, friends and trainers for their awesome support and encouragement.
Jennifer plans on hitting the stage again next year and competing as a WNBF Women’s Figure Pro.
