Wondering if you actually need 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight to build muscle? Or still cutting carbs because you think they’ll stall your progress? 🚫

You’re not alone. After bariatric surgery, there’s so much conflicting advice about how to eat and train — and a lot of it sounds convincing, but it’s just not true. In fact, some of these myths might actually be keeping you from reaching your strength and muscle-building goals.

That’s why in this week’s episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I’m busting 7 of the most common myths I hear from active bariatric individuals and influencers online— from how much protein to eat per day and protein timing, to carbs, to supplements, to what actually happens when you lift weights.

💡 You’ll walk away with the science, the truth, and practical takeaways you can start using right away.

✨ And with Bariatric STRONG opening for enrollment on Monday, Sept 29th, this is the perfect time to get clarity and direction for your muscle-building journey. In the program, we take these concepts and put them into simple, step-by-step strategies so you can feel confident fueling your workouts, building strength, and recovering well.

In this week’s episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition podcast, I discuss a variety of nutrition strategies that can be helpful in preventing reactive hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery and when you increase your movement.

⏰One of the key strategies is being more mindful around timing of meals to prevent going long periods without any nutrition or having larger more quick to digest carbohydrate based foods or snacks at one time. Ideally, aim to eat every 3-4 hours including protein paired with complex carbohydrates that include fiber as well as healthy fats. Eating more balanced plates will help slow digestion and absorption and prevent more erratic swings of blood sugar both high and low.

🚨As a reminder, to manage reactive hypoglycemia, please reach out to your doctor or endocrinologist as well as a Registered Dietitian who can help you adjust your daily nutrition.

🎧To learn more easy to implement and evidence-based nutrition strategies to manage reactive hypoglycemia, tune in to the Active Bariatric Nutrition podcast episode 81 wherever you listen to your podcasts or click on link below:
