161. The Truth About Holiday Weight Gain
Manage episode 390702550 series 2880914
This solo episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast is a holiday special, but suitable for listening all year round! I talk about the increase in triggering messages and diet culture myths during the holidays, especially around weight gain. I reveal the truth about holiday weight gain, normalizing body changes throughout the year, including weight fluctuations in athletes’ off-seasons. Weight gain, especially for athletes, is often a very positive thing for health and performance. Enjoying the holidays and/or off-season, with all the special food and activity shifts, does not inherently mean weight gain: if your body does change, the science suggests it will be minimal and balanced out across different seasons. Remember, seek support from a registered dietitian if you are struggling with your fueling, as well as thoughts around food and your body: we are here to help!
TOPIC TIMESTAMPS:
1:20 The fear of overfueling and diet culture messaging
5:20 Weight gain during the holiday season
7:10 Normalizing weight fluctuations
13:00 Weight gain as a positive change
14:45 Off-season weight changes in athletes
17:15 Summary: how a sports dietician views weight changes
I mentioned Episode 160. The Fear of Overfueling + Trail Running Nutrition with Keely Henninger for more on this topic.
