- My Weight Gain Journey + How I Got My Period Back | Weight Gain Transformation | Soul Sync Body workouts studio.soulsyn...
Hello loves,
This was a highly requested video by so many of you, so I thought I would dive deeper into this conversation on my journey with weight gain, building more muscle, and getting my period back again! To start off, I have lost my period on and off for quite some time and I actually created a video a couple of years ago about this if you wanted to go back in time and watch that! To sum up my journey with weight gain and getting my period back, here are the steps and some things I did to help with this process:
1. Education: I began to educate myself more about the female body, and learned that a woman's body fat percentage should be around 13-14%, so therefore I knew I wanted and needed to become physically stronger to achieve these numbers.
2. My fitness routine: I started making some slight changes to my workout routine, such as weight training and increasing with heavier weights about 2x a week while doing pilates 3x a week. Exercise helps to regulate your estrogen levels by increasing the lean muscle mass in your body. I also made sure to implement cardio by doing long walks throughout the week as well!
3. Nutrition: To increase muscle, women have to eat around 1.25-1.3g of protein per pound of their current weight. I tried my best to target for 130g of protein a day and worked my way up from there. To do this, I made sure to add in protein to every meal throughout the day, having meals more frequently, and ALWAYS having a protein-packed breakfast first thing in the morning. Of course, with all of this I was also consuming more fats and more carbohydrates. I also experimented with "seed-cycling" by adding healthy seeds to my breakfasts to help balance hormonal levels!
4. REST: Most importantly, I made sure to prioritize rest and recovery. Taking days off when needed, getting outside, and following the "80/20" rule when it comes to your wellness journey is the most important part.
5. Think about your "why": Get really clear with your personal goals. Believing in yourself, embracing your "new" body, and celebrating the changes you are going through is the most beautiful part of the entire process. Everything in your reality is a manifestation of your thoughts!
A friendly reminder as I know this topic of weight gain and/or weight loss may be triggering for some people, that everyone's journey and fitness goals may look very different. Becoming physically stronger is what I wanted to work on personally, and with that came lots of patience, acceptance to change, and hard work. I want to remind you to always do whatever you feel works best for YOUR mind and body, and not what others are doing.
xx

Sorry guys I meant 1.2-1.5g protein per KG and not per LB!!!!
Can you tell me what was your fat % when you actually lost your period? Thanks
I can relate to your story so much Sanne 🦋 I've struggled with weight gain/ED for so many years until I "just" started listening to my body and trusted that it will know what and how much I needed to eat/train (and not train) every single. day. So much has changed over the last few years and yet here I am - still me but somehow so very different than I used to be. I am deeply grateful for all that my body has carried me through. I’m grateful for how far I’ve come. And I'm grateful for people like you - who share honestly about their journey. And if you (who ever is watching this video rn is still struggling, I want you to know that if I can move from self-abusive, anxious and broke to living an abundant, liberated life-you can do, too. And if you can't trust that yet, I trust it for you.
So, don't give up on what's important to you - just because it isn't easy! Xx Nila
So many people look up to you and the fact that you are sharing this story and this journey is super inspirational. Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you, it truly is a vulnerable topic for me to talk about on here so knowing I have all of your support is so comforting! 🫶🏻
Sanne, I have been following you for years and it makes me so so happy to see this video and your changed, open perspective to weight gain, accepting the necessary discomfort, and choosing whats healthiest for you and not for a certain look. Healthy looks so good on you and this video has really encouraged me tonight.
Your new muscle looks great, Sanne!! Getting a new wardrobe was brilliant, shows your mind has shifted and you’re committed. Strong work 💪🏼! Pun intended 🎉
So true!
hey, i just wanna say tysm for making this video. this really inspired me in my recovery period to get my period back. thank you for convincing me to keep going, cuz honestly it’s so hard.. it’s hard to endure to stay in healing. i was so afraid of gaining weight, and i’m still struggling with it. but i really hope, after i watched this, i can get out of that fear, and live freely and also my relationship with food can be much better. for everyone who feel like me, stay enthusiastic and keep on going girl/boy! i’m sure we can all get out of that difficult situation. and don’t forget to manage your stress, okay? ily 🤍🫂
this gives me so much hope and was the perfect reminder of why I need to keep recovering!you’re so inspiring and I look up to you so much!
You got this! I am so glad to hear this! These messages remind me why I started sharing my journey with you all.
yes! sometimes the menstrual cycle is a reflection of our overall health and considered by some to be a "fifth vital sign" alongside things like blood pressure, body temp, heart rate, breathing rate, etc. so important to pay attention to what our bodies are telling us
As someone who has struggled with ana (ed) and is now at the end of my recovery this is very inspirational. I've been working out with you for 2 years now and it's so beautiful to see you glow and grow. Iam so happy for you sanne you are such a strong amazing person and i know it's not easy to always be honest with yourself and to have the strength to become a better version of yourself but you did it and you should be very proud of yourself ❤. Thank you for sharing this with us i really needed to hear it💞
Same I also nearing the end of my recovery journey, the struggles are so hard but even more so worth it, we got this xx
@@orang1414 we got this!!!!💞🫂
Keep up the hard work! One day you will look back at yourself and be so proud! ❤
It so important to talk about this topic and raise awareness 🙌 There is so much blab on how to loose weight etc.. but so little about the struggle of how to gain when you're underweight
Yes I agree! 100%
I have a completely different body type and never struggled to gain weight, I'd say it's the exact opposite, but maaan have I realised how easily our menstrual cycle can be thrown out of whack! Mine has been acting bats**t crazy for months, it is now slowly getting back to normal and I blame it on a job I hated that was affecting my mental and physical health. Too much cortisol in the rig, and periods won't put up with that! Life takes a big toll on our hormone balance, take care of yourselves girls ❤
All these models are promoting wellness lifestyles of maintaining a very low body weight and fat then come out years later admiting their bodies weren't functioning. Nevermind the years of harmful influencing of young impressionable audiences.
Yeah I don't really understand people giving wellness advise if they are not ovulating due to diet & lifestyle.
ikr it’s insane. that’s why i never trust what i see on social media or on tv.
You genuinely look so pretty and glowy and nourished
Headed into the final month of 2023 & the New Year - I have the same goals that you achieved so this gives me so much hope! Health is SO much more than our physical appearance & what you said about thinking long term (starting a family, etc) really puts a greater perspective on this journey & challenge for myself!
I agree with this 100%! I always love starting a new week, new month, a new year because it makes you put more things into perspective and reflect on what you are looking to change! :)
So amazing that you share this story! Eating more than you're used to is already a really good cue to get your period back and also take more rest. Stress is one of the biggest influences on a healthy cycle. I'm happy for you that it's stable now and that you've gained 4,5 kg! I did the same when I was 22 or something, not to get my period back, but to get stronger. I think I've gained 6 kilo's in a half year but it was soooo hard haha, I remember I ate like 3200 kcal a day, but because I had a sporty job it still went very slowly. What you said about your body is changing is totally true, it has good sides, but also you see other parts of your body growing (like your belly) which you sometimes don't want to see growing. But in the end, it's all worth it! Great job Sanne and I love that you share this!
Awh thank you so much for sharing your story as well here with me! I agree with all of this! 🫶🏻 it is very tough for some people, but I am so happy you found answers from it all!!!
So inspiring, I have gone through a similar journey, and I second every word and thought of yours. Thanks for sharing Sanne!! :)
I had trouble gaining weight most of my life too! When I started gaining healthy weight was soon after I met my husband, and that made me realize that feeling stress was a lot of what kept me from gaining weight. I ended up naturally gaining the weight when I felt more relaxed! An added benefit to meeting my husband! 🥰
I love this!!!!! It's crazy how stress just has so many different types of effects on our body and mind! I feel it comes out for everyone differently.
Love love the message from this, not just your story but the fact that women need a certain body fat to be healthy and functioning properly. I also had a hard time eating and had a really slow metabolism (I had regular periods tho) but when I started "forcing" myself to eat breakfast I had sustained energy throughout the day and my hormonal acne actually healed itself. high protein breakfast for women is amazing!
Why didn't you do this years ago? You've been dealing with missed periods since you were a teenager, and on top of that, you've been selling a 'healthy' lifestyle on CZcams for 6 years, which is obviously not true if you're undernourished, and missed periods are the thing you've been dealing with for years.
Obviously.. she was almost transparent at some point. You can read anxiety all over, etc. Don't believe everything online. They are all trying to sell you something, promoting a healthy lifestyle is not the real goal here 😅
It makes me so happy seeing your approach, you really did all the right things and it's so refreshing to see a model promoting heavy strength training as it's still stigmatized to make women "bulky". Personally I'm very much into bodybuilding, but having 2 jobs that sometimes correlate schedule-wise which leads to extreme stress plus uni plus being on my feet all the time led me to having no period for 2 years:( and it's so draining that I can't even give my all during training. Life is getting so expensive so many people can't really avoid stress, which makes this society quite toxic😢
Great video!!! I had to gain almost 30lbs to get my period back. It was such a hard process but now I’m so happy to be in a healthy shape again. All the best for you, Sanne ❤
Thank you for sharing this, Sophi! xx
Thank you SO much for sharing this, Sophi! Your journey and story could help so many others strugging with this similar issue too! x
You‘re very welcome!!! Thank you for your response, Sanne ❤
It is so important to understand and realize what it really means to be „healthy“. Back then I thought I’m having a healthy lifestyle as I was eating healthy, doing sports and being skinny… it took me 6 years to listen to my body and to understand that, without my period, I’m definitely not healthy. Now, I’m feeling better than ever in my life and I’m so proud. You can also be very proud of yourself, Sanne ❤️
Hi Sanne ♡ , i Hope you are doing well.
I would like to thank you for this video.
I really appreciate how you decided to be transparent with this topic. You could have chosen to keep this journey for yourself, we would have respected choice. But the fact that you are sharing it with us, and present this subject with the most pleasant and comfortable way. I really appreciate the way you feel comfortable about talking openly about your weight journey, because I feel some women tend to hide it and feel guilty for gaining some weight after being for years super slim (naturally or not) it isn’t easy and I have been through the same journey so I am familiar with that.
Thank you for being you and helping others.
Reading people’s comments makes me so happy for them and for you when they mentioned that you are helping them.
Take care ♡
Amazing work, Sanne! You look wonderful, but most importantly so happy to hear you are feeling strong and healthy! I struggled with HA for 10 years and never realized how GREAT it feels to be in my optimal state until getting my period back and my iron levels up! Just like you said, it require consistency and focus but feeling healthy and vibrant will always be worth it!
Thank you so much!
If your body fat is too low yes you won’t get your period it’s nothing to do with muscle .
If you don’t have fat for hormones to live as hormones need fat to live :( and then you get osteoporosis so get your bones checked if you don’t have your period
thank you so much for doing this; not just for yourself but it gives us so much strength and good example for doing what’s right for our body. This is so encouraging ( thank you thank you !!~ sml
You are so welcome!❤️❤️❤️
I just started watching your videos but I can already say that you have really motivated me in my self improvement journey that I've recently decided to put much more effort into and sort of "go all out" if that makes sense. This video is really helpful for me as I'm working on gaining weight and muscle as well. Thank you so much!
This is so inspiring and motivating for me to hear, Gracie!! You got this! 🫶🏻
thank you so much for this video Sanne! I love how positive you are in this video and it truly feels like you feel better and more balanced. it gives me a lot of motivation for my own weight gain journey.
You're doing amazing
I hope this serves as a message to young girls that it’s not always healthy to follow the diet/meal plans and workout routines of influencers as many of them actually struggle with hypothalamic amenorrhea and other health concerns. Eat to fuel YOUR body ❤
As someone who has been struggling for years with my weight, (going from healthy, slightly overweight, and too overweight over and over again) i really admire you for doing this. My main issues with my weight have been mostly aesthetics even tho i know constantly gaining and losing weight ain't great, but for you to actively try to gain weight for your health even tho you might have a hard time accepting your changes in your body is really impressive. Obviously you look amazing before and after ! But its one thing to want to gain weight because you want to have more curves or something, it is then easier to accept yourself since it was your aesthetics goal but when its not wow ! I am trying to better myself and lose weight but in a way this video about you trying to gain weight reminded me that I am also doing this to be healthier and not just "prettier". Anyway you look great and you are such a positive person that i have been following for years.
All described! I feel it's very important to ask yourself the bigger why behind your goal, it will make your journey more meaningful and the outcome more sustainable. It's all about self acceptance and love!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. You are truly glowing :) You look amazing - so strong!
It's so hard dealing with your body when it changes during those type of journeys. I'm in one too and what helps me going ahead is remembering always how is much more important my health. That's the focus. Keep going ❤
Thank you so much for this message. It’s these types of messages that keep me going!
So proud of you!!! I started my journey 4ish years ago now and will never look back
Thank you so much! This is amazing to hear, so proud of YOU!
Congrats on your recovery ❤
She gained 10 lbs and still looks like a model ❤ i absolutely love her perspective and mindset. Going to take her positivity and wisdom into my journey and start listening better to myself
This is so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching. x
Thank you! You were open, honest and forthcoming… I have never had a regular period… it’s not a good thing… nutrition is such a key to health… also managing stress and anxiety… I think if more young girls have women to look up to that put their health first it would be super helpful
I love your thoughts about long term planning.. Yes for have family.. Women first need to be healthy strong enough for healthy pregnancy.. Honestly 1000% agreed
Having a natural period is amazing! It’s a sign of good health and makes us feel more confident, strong, and empowered!
I struggled with similar issue recently. But I gained me period back within a month (!!) when I started eating heavier breakfast and more healthy fats! Irregular meal times was my issue… I didn’t even need to gain weight even though I would like to because I’m clearly underweight - and have always been this way. :/ It's important not only to eat enough but also regularly - especially if you are a very lean person and are not carrying much extra fat and protein in your body. Now my period is regular again and lasts 6-7 days. Gaining weight is really challenging especially if you have physically active lifestyle…
Sanne, Thank you for sharing your story!! Lots of love!
Hello Sanne. Always love you and Max. Your videos and manner are always so upbeat, sunny, and refreshing. Thank you much :-)
You look healthier and happier, congrats
Thank you!
I use chia seeds in my breakfast smoothie! Love pumpkin seeds. Your what I eat in a day videos are so inspiring on my journey to eat healthier. Love you❤
why its soo hard to get out of comfort zone and start doing what is right for your health even when you know that it is? i want so badly my period back and ur my inspiration Sanne, hope to grow my mindset and start giving my body more love
It’s definitely a journey for all of us! It’s so unnatural for us to get out of our own way and comfort zones, which make it even harder. It’s taking the first initial step!! 🤍
Me alegra mucho que te hayas dado cuenta Sanne!!! Estás muy linda y tu piel brillante! Comer es muy importante y no tenemos que tener miedo. Tu ejercitas. Vida sana implica comer bien y con relación a lo que medimos y tú sos muy alta por lo que tienes que pesar más y eso está bien 👍🏻 Me alegro que hicieras el click. ❤
💖 Exacto! Para su estatura ella debe pesar muchísimo más. Creo que ella está pesando lo que yo peso y eso que yo mido 1.64 m 😅
thanks for sharing this journey!! I'm facing the same problem now and this video is really helpful 💕
I’m so happy for that, you got this!!! It takes time, patience, and consistency ❤️
I lost my period four years ago, I've been trying to restore it all this time, I'm very worried about it. I am very glad to know that I am not alone with such a problem. I believe that we will achieve our goal! 💪
You are looking amazing!!!
You are not alone in this, it takes time , patience and consistency but you can do it!
@@SanneVloet thank you very much! 😘
This is so inspiring. You are glowing
Thank you!!!
Many people say they're working on getting their period back but they just don't do the obvious: eating in a surplus. Yes, it's uncomfortable, but even if one doesn't come from a state of being underweight it's still necessary for the body to know it's safe🙏🏻 well done Sanne✨and you look gorgeous!!
Yay!!! Go Sanne! As someone who's been through the same thing, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! This is a massive accomplishment! Sending love and light.
thankyou!!!! Sending you so much luck to!!! 🥰
@@SanneVloet thank you! I’ve included God and I feel that there is alway extra power in that. 🙏🏻 💕
You look amazing Sanne, that Skin glowsss😍
Oh thank you!🤍
this was so helpful thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing. Wonderful!
I just wanted to suggest that you haven’t add protein but much more foods and nutrients. I was working with women for years and actually it’s not protein the key but efficient nutrients and calories
I’ve seen women reverse cycle problems or absence with nutritious vegan low protein diets
Just morning nutrition and enough natural foods is way enough. Just sharing my experience. I find that we put way too much concern on protein as if it was a food… but its not and all natural foods bring so much more than protein.
I hope you don’t mind me sharing ❤
So happy for this for you! Keep going! You're amazing!!!♥
I always look forward to your videos. Love you
I think more than stress management we should focus on our diet and sleeping cycle..it helps alot to lead a healthy life and stress is a part and parcel of life it comes and goes without even knowing ☺️
Hello Sanne, just wants to say, thank you from heart for uploading videos. You are fabulous and a sweetheart ❤ your sweet sweet voice just empowers me and just just makes me feel so much better even time to do something ❤ I love you and truly thankful ❤️ lots of love from India ✨️🩷
Hey Sanne, blij dat je dit deelt en bespreekbaar maakt. Als jonge vrouw met PCOS is het voor mij elke maand afwachten als ik mijn maandstonden krijg. Voor mij is gezonde voeding, bewegen en stress verlagen cruciaal, zoniet merk ik direct een terugval. Veel succes nog met je nieuwe routine, liefs❤
Awh thank you, you got this!! ❤️
Beautiful work and world!My daughter looses weight and her period,I’m very worried about her
I had this problem too... my doctors said it's from stress... i got diagnosed with a condition called prolactinoma. Yes exactly when I was thinner I didn't have a period but once I gained weight I got it back... so have to be well fed I guess hah
It was a wise decision, Sanne - you look amazing! Happiness suits you and your body looks so healthy and toned!
Thanks so much for sharing your story Sanne! I can relate to this
You're so welcome!
Great video, thank you for sharing your experience and we're so proud of you 💖💖
czcams.com/video/VlQ0epiPNgI/video.htmlsi=bUjqSaBmjTsZZN5h❤❤❤❤
Thank you for share your journey! The most important thing is being healthy 💪💖
Yes! Thank you!!
thank you so much! i’m on the same journey and you’ve been a huge inspiration for me for years! one little thing though, in the description you mentioned that the healthy body percentage for women falls around 13-14%, are you sure? from my research, that is really low. i’m unsure, please correct me if i’m wrong
hey Sanne - thank you so much for sharing this - I'm going through a similar thing after being a competitive runner for years- I wonder, when you initially increased your calorie intake, how did you deal or get used to any bloating etc?
Hi!! Such a good question, it’s so common for runners to lose their period.. I made sure to focus on eating foods that didn’t upset my stomach or make me bloat as much. (Of course bloating happens with everyone, we have to remind ourselves it is normal)! But overall, I focused on the foods that were easy on my stomach. This is trial and error with finding foods that work for you and that don’t work for you. :) Some common foods that can cause bloating for many people are beans, legumes, some tofus, dairy products, gluten, cruciferous vegetables!
I restored my cycle through balance and fat ratio. but it's very hard, I've gained five pounds and I don't feel well.
Wow thank you soooo much for sharing! The world needs more people with that kind of healthy/healing attitude! I relate to 100%. Your message is very motivating and a good reminder. Thanks!🧡
You are so welcome ❤
You are always pure lol - your love we can feel it
Awh thank you so much❤️ I try my best.
I really enjoyed this video especially the part about thinking forward. Our culture is so focused on the aesthetic and I feel like it makes it so easy for me to slip back into restrictive habits..
If anyone reading this has consciously gained weight and not felt it celebrated by their friends and family like when they’re at their thinnest, stay true to your health intentions and remember your reasons 🤍🤍🤍
You are so right! Finding a right support system around you is so important, not only for your mental health but also your nervous system. ❤
Your so great , love your videos 💕💕
It's always a good day when Sanne posts💗🥺💫 and you are looking too too fit and healthy
Thank you ❤️
Great job! Health = Wealth!
Amen!!!
@@SanneVloet I have a similar body type as you and recently realized I wasn't getting enough protein too. Protein bars were an easy way to get more protein and have helped me gain a little weight. They have about 20 grams of protein per bar. :)
Hi, thanks for this video, I really enjoy watching your videos and thanks for all the inspiration. I am currently in a similar situation and I'm doing a lot of strength training during the week, I am also studying sports. I already have elevated my calorie intake, but my period has still not come back. So I wanted to ask if it is necessary to really go in a high surplus or how much do you think does the body need? I am a little bit struggling of eating even more because I think I already eat enough. Love, Johanna
Damnn, she looks so gooood🤩🤩
Thank you!
Thank u so much for this video Sanne, I really needed to see this right now ❤ I've been on the journey to get my period back for awhile now, but I'm losing motivation because I normally get stressed out and restrict my food during the holiday season. Thanks for inspiring me, and reminding me that I need to keep going for my overall health, family, etc.!
Exactly, especially during holiday season! It's all about being with family, enjoying your time, unwinding and enjoying delicious foods! It's not going to make any difference of heavily stressing over it!
Sanne you look so beautiful, healthy, and vibrant! Love it :)
You look so much happier here!!
Awh thank you!
I think getting your period back might not have been because of the protein but because you just ate enough.
Hey Sanne! I am on the same journey as you are. Trying to build muscle. It might be a stupid question but did you add any additional cardio to your workout routine or just walking? Thank you!❤ and thank you for this video❤
How to deal with low appetite and feeling nauseous especially in the morning? Would love more tips on the topic for those struggling!
Great question! Will add it to my list of questions I will be trying to answer in next week’s video, so keep an eye out! xx
@@SanneVloet thank you so much Sanne ❤️
This is amazing such a good role model and inspiration Sanne! xxxxx
OMG girl!! So happy for you, you're looking so good ❤
This came at the perfect time! I’ve been trying to get mine back
Great video! Balancing your hormones through diet, and exercise, is amazing 👏 🙌
I agree!!!! ❤
Your accent is different! I like it
I am happy for you. You look healthy, glowing and balanced. ❤
Thank you for making this video! Out health is so important, and so many women put their health at risk just to fit into a smaller body… You look amazing, well done! ❤ would love to see your weekly meal inspo, to see how you manage to get that much protein in
How to combine pilates with gym? (To increase muscle mass)
Happy for you that you are feeling better and have long term goals that keep you motivated! I was just wondering if you didn't mean 1.25-1,5 g of protein per kg instead of pounds?
Wow, you can be proud of you, accepting and healing our inner image is the best thing to do in this life. You're so strong, sweet warrior ! 😉💪💛
Thank you SO much! It is such a journey!
Idk why but I find this video very inspiring.
Thank you!
could you make updated morning and night routines?
Great idea! In need of one of these ☺️
GLOWING SANNE. What an inspiration. 👐
Thank you!!!! xx
Yeah, food makes miracles
pls could you tell me which lip products you are wearing in video? You look gorgeous
Hi! I love the Rhode peptides serum or summer Fridays lip serum!
it is interesting that that diet is good for gaining and loosing weight
According to my nutritionist body fat should not go under 18% to be in a healthy state. Please guys, do not DIY solutions. Seek for the right help
Wow, this is everything I needed to hear❤️ I just want to thank you for sharing your personal journey. It’s inspiring and motivating to me to make changes in my life to be a healthier and happier version of myself. Thank you💕
you deserve this ❤
@@SanneVloet❤
This video means so much because I’m on the same journey so I completely understand I would love to know more details about your nutrition and really adding in protein in different ways and not being afraid to use heavy weights without getting bulky
Maybe I can make another video where I go a little deeper into it! I can't speak for everyone ofcourse but I am open to sharing my nutrition and diet that worked for me!
You look amazing! Obviously always been a strong girl but now you look strong as well 💪🏼
Thank you so much, means a lot! ☺️
Beautiful always, but this looks great on you!❤
Thank you so much! Xx
