177. Weight Loss Principles Every Runner Needs to Know Part 1: Nutrition

May 19, 2023

Nutrition is going to be the number one driver of your body composition.


If you’re a runner and you want to lose weight, you have to get your nutrition game on point.


The thinking that just running more is going to solve the weight problem for you is outdated and just doesn’t work.


There’s a lot more going on when it comes to weight loss – the types of foods we eat, the timing of our meals, what happens in our bodies when we eat certain foods, and so much more to consider.


And don’t worry, I’m going to break it all down for you here today.


My hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll have a much clearer understanding of just how important nutrition is for weight loss, even if you’re a runner…especially if you’re a runner.


This is part one of a three-part series called, “Weight Loss Principles Every Runner Needs to Know”.


Part two will be focused on exercise principles, and part three will be all about the mindset principles runners need to focus on in order to lose weight and keep it off for good.
