18: Abby McQueeney Penamonte (@abbymcpabby) - Reverse dieting, metabolic adaptation, under-fueling, tips when using the scale, nutrition periodization, considerations when working towards your goals...

Had a great discussion with my friend and fellow dietitian - Abby McQueeney Penamonte.

Abby is a former ultra runner turned powerlifter, current weightlifter, online dietitian + personal trainer, wife and badass. Her passion right now is helping women fuel intentionally, helping them realize their strength inside + outside of the gym, and getting them to focus on the weight on the barbell vs the weight on the scale.

Topics discussed:

-Transitioning from ultra running to lifting

-Reverse dieting

-Nutrition Periodization + why it's important

-Tips to help deal with the scale

-Metabolic adaptation

-Focusing on biofeedback

-Creating sustainable habits and routines to maintain results long term

... and so much more in between.
