83. Busting 7 Myths Around Nutrition for Building Muscle & Strength

In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I bust 7 myths around nutrition for building muscle and strength after bariatric surgery including:

• All bariatric individuals who want to gain muscle must take in 1g/lb of protein per day
• Strength training will lead to weight gain and make me look bulky
• I have to workout every day to build muscle
• You have to eat low carb for life, no matter your goals
• You have to eat within 30-60 min post-workout window or else you won't fully recover
• All supplements are safe if you buy them online
• Even if I can't hit my nutrition targets, I can just use supplements to meet my goals

We review why these myths are promoted, the actual evidence-based guidelines, and practical takeaways so you can start applying them right away!
