As we approach the festive season I thought it would be a great idea to get some guidance on how to navigate the minefields of alcohol and rich, sugary food which every athlete has to face in the final few days of December.
My guest today is performance nutritionist Shannon Fizer, and in today’s conversation we discuss how to minimise the damage at Christmas, keeping to your normal healthy eating and training regime as much as possible.
- When it’s difficult to workout, some is always better than none - how to make the most of those limited opportunities
- Balancing ‘treats’ with real food
- Choosing your treats wisely - why crisps at the office party are out and Grandma’s special Christmas pudding is definitely IN
- Why it’s OK to have a drink or two at Christmas…but not every day
- Enjoying the season - sometimes you just need to forget about being an athlete
- Why attempting to lose weight at Christmas just makes you and those around you miserable
- Why flat water is better than carbonated water for helping you to feel full
