I was afraid of gaining back the weight I just worked hard to lose. I was tired of the yo-yo. I hired today’s guest, Alysha Cougler, RD.

Alysha highlights that food is not the enemy and it is there to support us: we do not need to be afraid of the gym or nutrition. She demystifies typical food struggles that so many people go through.

She gives practical sports nutrition advice to help put on muscle at the gym. She talks fasted vs fed workouts. She gives examples of food choices at different times to maximize our workouts and about the impact of protein pacing.

She provides useful insight on common issues and solutions once people hit their goal weight and how to avoid the rebound.
