We are by no means experts, but today we take an open look at the never ending debate over weight loss and proper race weight. Everything is on the table including body image, guilt, shame, binge eating, strength vs. optimum weight, and power per kilo. Triathlon is often a road to weight loss, but changing a lifestyle comes with a lot of stress and cutting calories is a slippery slope. We talk about finding your race weight and when to be at it. So many diets, so many choices, but what works best for you?

Topics: 

• Go too hard too soon
• Proving yourself in practice 
• Weight Control
• Body image
• Strength vs Weight
• Power per kilos
• Comparing to other people
• Binge eating
• Hydration and diet
• Stress and pounding and weight
• Periodizing your training
• “Perfect” Race Weight
• Giving the body time to adjust
• Changing too much at once
• Societal categories
• Intuitive eating
• What’s best for you?
