Another Mother Runner

#470: Holistic Nutrition with Dietitian Tamar Samuels

Sarah and Coach Amanda talk with Tamar Samuels, a registered dietitian nutritionist, co-founder of Culina Health, and new first-time mother runner. Tamar offers insight into: 
-how to manage weight-loss expectations when training for longer races; 
-the nutritional challenges for runners of switching to a plant-based diet; 
-making peace with carbohydrates and using them to help reach health goals; 
-why she steers runners away from intermittent fasting; and, 
-the importance of not labeling foods based on morality. 
Amanda shares details (and emotions) about her upcoming move out west, and Sarah tells why she’s been touring houses. Dietitian Tamar joins at 15:06.

Every Friday on the original show (launched in 2011), host Sarah Bowen Shea, a mom of three and veteran of 14 marathons, is joined by a rotating cast of co-hosts and often a guest expert to discuss topics ranging from how to reach a big race goal to finding your athletic happy place, and everything in between. Training, nutrition, motivation, mental toughness, TMI issues: This show covers it all (and then some!). 

Many Happy Miles and AMR Answers drop on alternate Tuesdays: Many Happy Miles is hosted by AMR co-founder Dimity McDowell and Sarah Wassner Flynn, and it celebrates and explores all types of forward movement, whether an epic hike, century ride, or your first brisk walk after a setback. The co-founding duo of Sarah and Dimity host AMR Answers, providing insightful responses to listeners’ called-in questions. All three shows are witty and conversational, making them great running partners because the AMR gals do all the talking—even on the uphills!
