Many people take up running to lose some weight.

If this is you or you've been running regularly for a while and are struggling to achieve your weight loss goals, you're going to love this podcast episode. In this episode, I talk with Emma Andrews.

Emma is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Plant Based Culinary Professional, and co-founder of Pineapple Collective, an Education Strategy and Content Marketing Agency working with natural health and wellness brands.

Emma specializes in sports nutrition, longevity education, and plant-based cooking.

She has coached athletes from the "everyday" to the "elite", and has spent over 6 years researching and developing her skills as a food coach in Australia and Canada, and working as a plant-based sports nutrition educator hosting workshops all across North America.

Some topics we chat about include:

  • Common reasons why runners don’t lose weight.
  • Foods to swap, emphasize or exclude.
  • Nutrient timing (and how this affects weight loss).
  • Meal and snack ideas.
  • Managing cravings and your appetite.
  • Food journaling and calorie counting - should you do it?
  • How to develop positive body image as a runner.
  • Hydration and weight loss.
  • and much more!

Works Around your Schedule

Time is hard to come by. Kids, work, and other commitments can get in the way. You need a plan that's easy to follow and can work around you, not the other way around.

Break down the lies you tell yourself

You look "weird" when you run. You’re “not” a runner. You’re too “slow” or too "Old." We're here to tell you right here, right now, that you’re wrong. You only *think* these things because it's new and you feel uncomfortable. That'll change with consistency and time. You are a runner!

Exercise Smarter, not harder

It may have been hard previously, but it doesn't have to be – now, you'll be given the tools and the knowledge to succeed. We’re doing things differently in order to see different results.

N2R Eases you in

Running when you aren't ready or without the proper training can hurt, leaving you with nagging injuries that never seem to clear up. We ease you in, giving you the strength and conditioning you need to make sure your running doesn't come with pain.
