Post-Comp Reflection 💪
Another competition in the books — finished 10th out of 30 amazing teams!! Proud of every rep, every lesson, and every bruise earned along the way.

Every time you compete it teaches you something new — about grit, mindset, and the limits you didn’t know you could push past. You grow stronger not just physically, but mentally too.

Never stop trying to be the best version of yourself!
Next up: 21km training begins! 🏃‍♀️

Intermittent Fasting & Athletes: Helpful or Harmful?

Intermittent fasting is a hot trend—but when it comes to athletic performance, the science is clear: it’s not one-size-fits-all.

💡 What you need to know:
Training fasted may increase fat oxidation, but it can also reduce high-intensity performance.
Athletes need to prioritize fueling for training, recovery, and muscle growth.
Fasting windows can make it harder to hit daily protein and energy targets—especially for strength and endurance athletes.

⚡ Bottom line:
If performance and recovery are your goals → fuel > fasting.
If weight management is your main focus, intermittent fasting can work, but it’s not superior to other strategies.

👟 Athletes perform best when energy availability is consistent and adequate.

The Carnivore Diet is trending — but that doesn’t mean it’s smart.

Balance. Fibre. Fuel. These matter more than hype.
Support your gut. Train with energy. Eat sustainably.

From carnivore to keto, intermittent fasting to plant-based… trendy diets are everywhere. But here’s the real question: can they actually fuel an athlete’s body and performance needs? 🏋️‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Over the next month, we’ll be unpacking the science behind popular diets, breaking down:
✅ What the diet is all about
✅ Potential pros & cons
✅ Whether it supports strength, endurance, and recovery
✅ My opinion as a dietitian

Because nutrition isn’t “one size fits all.” What works for the average person might not work for an athlete chasing PRs and performance goals.

🔎 Stay tuned each week as we take a closer look at the hype vs. the evidence.

👉 Comment below with the diets you’re most curious about, and I’ll be sure to cover them!
