Fotos: la bloguera que muestra las posturas para parecer más flaca

La bloguera finlandesa Sarah Puhto, de 20 años, ha tratado de mostrar en su cuenta de Instagram a través de una serie de publicaciones lo engañosas que pueden ser las fotografías de las mujeres con figuras 'perfectas' publicadas en las redes sociales.

La joven difunde collages con selfis que parecen haber sido tomados a través de meses de duras dietas y entrenamientos. Sin embargo, los mensajes que aparecen bajo estas líneas constatan que las fotos se hicieron en un espacio de horas o incluso segundos.

El secreto, explica Sarah, radica en la postura, que puede cambiar radicalmente el aspecto físico. "En un mundo donde las nalgas de Kardashian son tan glorificadas, tenemos que recordar que las fotos que vemos de ella y otras no son siempre realidad. Sus traseros no pueden siempre verse tan grandes desde todos los ángulos", observa la bloguera.

Lo mismo, indica la joven, pasa con fotos en Instagram que algunos ven como "objetivas" al tiempo que creen que nunca podrán "ganar tanto músculo o perder tanta grasa". "No pienses que no puedes porque estás comparando una foto para la que han posado con tu cuerpo que ves a diario", aconseja Puhto.

Coming at you with another progress pic cause it's #transformationtuesday 😁🌿 Left: may 2016 (40 weeks of BBG) right: November 2016 (68 weeks of BBG) 💪🏼 I'm so happy with the difference in these photos because for the longest time I felt like my progress had plateaued. So I did a few things to change up my routine in the past few months. Firstly, I increased my calorie intake so I could start building more muscle 😁 (I'm not sure by how much exactly I increased my calories as I don't count calories because I've had a restrictive past with calories, but I just ate a lot more) 🍚 I started working smarter NOT harder. I used to do a ton of cardio/weight workouts that lasted about 1hr-2hrs which just left me fatigued. I would even do HIIT/cardio/weight workouts that lasted 30-40 minutes right after I did BBG. There was a reason @kayla_itsines suggested not to do that in her guides but I didn't listen because I thought that would help me get results faster 🙈 But now instead of that I do my regular BBG, HIIT, Cardio and weight workouts on separate days and my workout sessions last about 30-50 minutes depending on the intensity. I have also started listening to my body more by taking more rest days and adding in more cheat meals when I wanted them (a few cheat meals will not ruin your progress. It might hinder it if you eat junk for a few days/weeks straight but you can always get back into cleaner eating and it'll be okay, it's normal and we're only human). The biggest change in these photos is probably my mental state though, I've found a healthier, happier and new outlook on working out. I've realised its a lifestyle, where I will have ups and downs. I just have to remember that I'm doing this for me and no one else, so I shouldn't compare my body to others, or think that this journey is some kind of race to the finish line. I'm so happy with how far I've come in these past few months and just wanted to share it with you all. Also wanted to clear up that this is what worked for me and everybody is different, so what works for me may not work for you ☺️ Hope you all have an absolutely amazing day 🌴☀️ . #bbgprogress #sweatwithkayla

20 hour transformation photo 😁🌿 Since it's the day after thanksgiving I thought it'd be appropriate to share this photo 😬 The first photo was taken yesterday morning after working out, the second was at night after eating a whole bunch of food with my whole tummy relaxed and the third was this morning again after working out 🏋🏻 I've posted a photo like this before but I just wanted to remind you that it's normal for your stomach to get bigger after large meals and that our bodies don't look the same throughout the day! I know I get pretty bloated looking after I eat a lot and that used to really upset me because I thought there was something wrong with me and that nobody else's tummy looked like this after eating but I realised its just not shown or talked about a lot. So I just wanted to show what my relaxed food baby tummy looks like compared to my empty, post workout tummy. I'm learning to love my body in ALL its forms, not just when it looks lean and toned because I know I don't look like that all day. It's time for me to love and appreciate the body I have and stop striving for "perfection" ☺️ Anyway, I hope you all had an amazing thanksgiving, got some delicious food in and spent quality time with your family and friends!! 🌴☀️

These photos were taken a few seconds apart!! Do you ever have one of those days where you just get down on yourself and compare your body to others? I'm pretty sure everyone has bad body image days. I woke up this morning, looked at myself and thought I looked a bit fluffy today, usually I'd go about my day and end up posting the photo on the left and say how I'm feeling fluffy and bloated today, when the truth is the right photo shows my true fluffiness (no flexing and full tummy relaxed). So I thought I'd do a brutally honest post and show you my true fluff 🐇 What I'm trying to say is bodies fluctuate daily, even hourly. Don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day, week or month. Everyone has bad days. Everyone has some % of body fat. And everyone's body looks different from different angles/poses whether they're flexed, relaxed or bloated. People will post their highlights and their hard work on Instagram so don't compare yourself to them! You're beautiful no matter what 💕 This is honestly really terrifying for me to post, so please don't be too harsh. I just hope this helps some of you if you're having a bad day.
