“It's good to let your body know that it can have those foods too. It's important. And it's good to treat yourself.” —Avril Stead

Bodybuilding is a rigorous sport that requires discipline, dedication, and strict adherence to a well-balanced diet. Many bodybuilders face challenges when it comes to satisfying cravings while staying on track with their nutrition plan. 

The diet struggle is real, but knowing how to satisfy our cravings without compromising our diet is key to achieving our goals while still enjoying the food we love. 

This week, Sherrie Kapach and seasoned bikini pro, Avril Stead, share an insightful chat covering the highs and lows of competition prep from an experienced competitor's perspective. They also discuss the importance of research in finding an aligned coach, how to satisfy cravings without compromising your diet, the benefits of forming a community in the sport, setting boundaries with family, and maintaining dedication to your fitness goals.
