The Reach Your Peak Experience (A Sports Nutrition Podcast)

There is a good chance that at least once in your life you have found yourself looking at the scale after a holiday or break and thought to yourself...”why did I gain weight?”

Sometimes the reason is obvious but other times it is less clear as to why the weight gain occurred. This can leave you feeling frustrated and confused.

Sound familiar?

As a Dietitian and Nutritionist, I have seen time and time again how people come back after the holidays a bit heavier than they wanted to be, and help them get back on track.
Part of this is interpreting the weight change properly and not just automatically freaking out and believing you have gained body fat when the reality might actually be a lil different.

In this episode, I share:

Post Holiday Weight Gain Blues (where many dieters find themselves)
How much does it take to gain 1 kg of bodyfat (the simple math revealed)
3 Possible reasons why you gained weight after a holiday (that are not related to gaining bodyfat)

Hope you enjoy!

#173: Travel Nutrition Tips: How To Stay On Track (Without Missing Out On Culinary Adventuring)

Travel is one of life's pleasures. So is food. However, what is one to do when both of these converge together while you are working on some nutrition goals?

The fact of the matter is that when we travel, our food game changes and we are likely also to be wanting to complement our literal adventure with some culinary adventures as well.

However, this does not need to mean you need to fall completely off track nor does it mean you can’t enjoy your holiday and all the foods that come with it.

As a fellow travel enthusiast and long-standing food lover...I have a bit of know-how and experience with this tango myself. Plus given that tomorrow I jet off to Japan for my long-awaited trip, this episode seems fitting.

In this episode, I share:

The difficulties of travel nutrition (why it can be overwhelming for some)
Should you put your goals on pause? (the truth)
My tips on how to stay on track while traveling (and still enjoying yummy foods)

Hope you enjoy!
