In this episode, Lawrence is flying solo but is joined by Texas-based masters powerlifter, single mum (or 'mom') and personal trainer Sumi Singh. We discuss the following:
In 2013 you published an article on food environment, where you advise people who are prone to mindless eating to:
Make the declaration vocal: Say: "I'm not hungry but I am going to eat this anyway."
Think 20% less "other stuff," 20% more veggies.
Start buying the single serving peanut butter packets or those 100-calorie packages of nuts/snacks.
Volumize your food to make it look bigger.
Take as much time as you can to eat your food
...and many other things.
Would you advise anyone differently, 5 years down the line? How has your opinion changed on this front?
Speaking of changing opinions - what's the biggest fitness-related issue you've changed your mind on?
Tell us about your competitive history as an athlete, and how parenthood impacted things.
How do you think a parent can set a great example to their children via fitness?
You admit yourself that you're awful to handle during peak week for your powerlifting meets - what happens?
The dry protein powder consumption... tell me more.
