My friend led me to this AMAZING article from Runner’s World. I truly felt like the author was inside my brain, talking directly to me.
If you are a runner who even *might* have food issues, read at least the following paragraph and the whole article if you have 15 minutes!
“When you look at a lot of media, the message is everybody’s on a diet, everybody needs to lose weight or restrict,” says Colorado-based psychotherapist and former U.S. marathon champion Jane Welzel. “Instead of how do you support your lifestyle through nutrition, the message is reduce carbs and fats, or this has a high glycemic index, or don’t eat too many bananas. It’s the sound bites, the headlines, that grab attention. Then people add it to their list of rules. It’s totally out of context for what they need to do to support their level of training.”
