Besides creating educational videos on nutrition and health, I am delving into short videos to enable my message to reach more people. This initiative aims to distill complex topics into easily digestible content that can quickly inform and engage viewers. One of the key subjects I am exploring is "Calorie Cycling: The Ultimate Nutrition Guide." In this video, I break down the concept of calorie cycling, which involves alternating between periods of calorie surplus and deficit to optimize metabolism and support weight management. By simplifying this approach, I hope to empower my audience with practical strategies for achieving their nutritional goals while making the content accessible and relatable. https://lnkd.in/gB8xdwPP

Sustainable Fuel for Epic Endurance: Mīti for Ultra-Marathoners! I was running between lamp posts in the dark 2 years ago! This weekend at 44 is my first ultra the 60km BridgetoBridge in Canterbury fueled by Mīti. I will use a CGM to monitor blood sugar throughout and will post the results!

I’m Rashmi Cherian, your go-to Sports Nutritionist, and I often get asked: “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻?” While race day brings that electric thrill, it’s the prep work before and the recovery after that truly sets the stage for your success. Let’s break down the science behind marathon nutrition and how it works to support you through every stage of the race. ➡️ 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 Think of your muscles like a car's gas tank. Carb-loading is like filling up before a long road trip. I tell my athletes, "𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺! ➡️ 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 It's more than just drinking water. Your body needs a balance of fluids and electrolytes to stay cool and run smoothly. Aim for pale yellow urine as a hydration marker. ➡️ 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴-𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 I often say to my athletes, “𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴!” Aim to take in 𝟲𝟬-𝟵𝟬 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀 of carbs per hour during the race. Think of it as refuelling your engine before it runs out. Don’t let hunger slow you down—keep those energy levels up! ➡️ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 The first 30 minutes after you finish are crucial. Your muscles are like sponges, soaking up nutrients to repair and rebuild. Protein and carbs are your best friends here. Marathons can be tough, but with the right nutrition strategy, you can tackle them with confidence. It’s not just about crossing that finish line; it’s about how you prepare and recover that truly matters. If you’re ready to take your performance to the next level, 𝗗𝗠 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲-𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗢𝗨! Stay strong, and happy running! #WellnessVows #RashmiCherian #RunnersDiet #MarathonTips #SportsNutrition #MarathonNutrition #MarathonReady

Watch how India’s only vegan pro tennis player 🎾 Vishwajeet Sangle aced his recovery and on-court performance with a plant-powered lifestyle 🔗: https://lnkd.in/dcg6W_zH Big goals and ambitions in sport demand laser-focus on the game, physical training and mental strength 💪. It also requires the right nutrition. And when the majority is leaning towards a certain narrative, it’s hard to reconcile health with your instincts. But when we listen to what our minds and bodies need, we fuel ourselves with kindness on our plates and well-balanced nutritional and mental well-being. 🥗 In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, we discuss the highs and lows of playing tennis, the ill-effects of dairy consumption, our inherent plant-based culture, the myth of ‘not enough protein’, health and recovery on a plant-based diet, an athlete’s discipline, training and nutrition, and the love for food and desserts. 💚 Esperer Sports Management #VeganAthlete #PlantBased #DairyFree #HealthAndWellness #TennisPlayer

Alright friends, Who's joining me at the What's Up With Pumps networking event the week of SSE?! Only days away! This has been the best networking event I've been to, plus... #1. You get a chance to stimulate the growth of the mid-cingulate cortex, a part of the brain associated with willpower, tenacity and associated with longevity. This becomes possible by waking up before 6am in the morning and challenging the soft and weak voice in your head that tells you it would be nice to sleep another hour. 😄 Even more challenging for those coming from CT, MT and PT. #2. Free SWAG bag if you get there before they run out! #3. Start the day off with a dose of dopamine from working out!!! #4. Make some new friends and connections in-between sets. (My favorite part). #5. Nerd-out on the latest science on Dietary Supplements, Nutrition, Exercises and Techniques for improving body composition and overall health! Did I also mention it's free? #WhatsUpWithPumps #WhatsUpWithSupps
