For this week’s episode of Life After Cheer, I talk with Francesca Alfano – a former competitive dancer and cheerleader and certified Dietitian-Nutritionist! We discussed several important things when it comes to your relationship with food, but here are the biggest takeaways from today’s episode:

1. (7:02) Focus on health, not necessarily on weight
2. (19:14) You want to feel satisfied and energized after eating, rather than simply stuffed full – eating should give you energy!
3. (36:43) Look at food in terms of creating health – having a good relationship with food will leave you better off
