Sarah and Coach Amanda talk with Tamar Samuels, a registered dietitian nutritionist, co-founder of Culina Health, and new first-time mother runner. Tamar offers insight into: 

-how to manage weight-loss expectations when training for longer races; 

-the nutritional challenges for runners of switching to a plant-based diet; 

-making peace with carbohydrates and using them to help reach health goals; 

-why she steers runners away from intermittent fasting; and, 

-the importance of not labeling foods based on morality. 

Amanda shares details (and emotions) about her upcoming move out west, and Sarah tells why she’s been touring houses. Dietitian Tamar joins at 15:06.
