My guest this week is Steph Hnatiuk, aka @steph.the.runners.dietitian on Instagram, and we're talking about RUNNING and WEIGHT LOSS! But if you're looking for answers on how many calories to eat, or what specifically your meals should be made of in order to lose weight, you won't find those answers in this episode. In this hour-long discussion, we talk about...

The relationship we have with food

Why does running make you so hungry?

Why weight loss is so challenging, and why diet culture is damaging to athletes seeking performance goals

HOW weight loss and calorie deficits can safely fit into your running

Our weight loss expectations vs. weight loss reality

Mythbusting what can and what won't help you in your weight loss goals (intermittent fasting, supplements, specific diets, meal timing)
