It's frustrating when you do things like triathlons, marathons and other extreme bouts of physical activity, but you just can't seem to get lean.
You train your ass off, you put hours onto a treadmill or bike, you lift weights, you watch your diet and you still can't get rid of that pesky layer of fat on your waistline, or make yourself look good in that pair of fitted jeans.
Last year, we published a podcast episode “Why Women Gain Weight When Training For Endurance Sports“.
And now, I'm releasing this special podcast episode recorded straight from a recent triathlon camp I taught at Thanyapura resort in Thailand.
It's called “The Top 5 Reasons Athletes Get Fat, And What You Can Do About It.”
Even if you're not a triathlete per se, you'll get a lot of insight into why your body may be so resistant to shedding fat, or why you are on a weight loss plateau. Leave your questions, comments and feedback below, and I promise to reply!
Excellent content. I have found your explanations related to diet and proper exercise to be very helpful. I am a 45 year old man. I have been an athlete my entire life and I would like to continue being active, while taking proper nutrients, for the purpose of maintaining a very healthy lifestyle. My doctor is pushing TRT for the first time due to my low levels. I’d be curious to hear your feedback related to this issue. Thank you.
