25.01.2022 Exercise, sleep, and other healthy lifestyle habits will help you get through difficult times without emotional eating. This sounds alright! But where to begin? Make daily exercise a priority: try to aim for 30 minutes at least 5 times per week. Start with low-intensity sessions and move eventually to moderate intensities. Aim for 8 hours of sleep every night: this will help you with appetite control and reduce food cravings. ... Make time for relaxation: take a break and meditate. Your body is your temple and you need to take care of it. Connect with others: especially during this lockdown! Close relationships are important, as well as social activities. Surround yourself with positive people and enjoy! These are only 4 strategies, but they are a good start point. Let me know how it goes, because hey! we are in this together #sportsdietitian #sportsnutrition #nutritionist #nutrition #dietitian #melbourne #emotionaleating #psychology #healhtylifestyle #newhabits #junkfood #junkfreefood #cleaneating #fats #goals #healthylifestyle #food #healthyfood #blogger #bloggersau #foodblogger #obesity #overweight #youcandoit #seekforhelp #mindfulness #mindfuleating #foodmatters

21.01.2022 October is known as the Breast Cancer awareness month (yes, I am a bit overdue), but I decided to donate my hair again this year for those women who have suffered or are fighting Cancer. I hope my hair will draw a big smile in someone’s face, as it has done in mine several times. Many family members have said goodbye to us after fighting Cancer, and with this little action, I try to keep them close. You can do this too! It takes 20 ponytails to do one wig, and with a minimum ...of 20cm, you can help to make one for someone special. Please visit https://sustainablesalons.org/ponytaildonations/ to check all the requirements and tag me in your photos! 2020 has been a year full of changes, let’s embrace a new change while helping others! @hairbychloechurch was the gorgeous hairstylist that helped me yesterday! 100% recommended, she is amazing and @jc.bodyboutique is #breastcancerawareness #cancerfight #hairdonation #hairdonationforcancer #embracethechange #extrememakeover #hairstyle #ponytail @sustainablesalonsanz

17.01.2022 To stop emotional eating, you have to find other ways to fulfil yourself emotionally. You need alternatives to food that you can turn to for emotional fulfilment. To help you in the process, I want you to consider a few things: If you are depressed or lonely: call someone who always makes you feel better or go for a walk with your furry friend. ... If you are anxious: meditate, dance your favourite song or go for a walk outside. If you are tired or exhausted: take a hot bath and add some candles, enjoy a hot cup of tea or lay down with a nice and warm blanket. If you are bored: read a good book, watch a movie, enjoy your favourite activity or go outside and explore new surroundings. Do you have any special trick to add? Note: This post is part of a series about emotional eating. #sportsdietitian #sportsnutrition #nutritionist #nutrition #dietitian #melbourne #emotionaleating #psychology #junkfood #junkfreefood #cleaneating #fats #goals #healthylifestyle #food #healthyfood #blogger #bloggersau #foodblogger #obesity #overweight #youcandoit #seekforhelp #mindfulness #mindfuleating #foodmatters

16.01.2022 There are so many strategies to measure your hydration status. Many of them are suitable only for lab settings, but there are some others that are pretty handy for us mortals at home. CHECK YOUR WEIGHT: If you have a scale, you can check your body mass before and after training. If your body mass after exercising has drop >2%, you did not have enough to drink, and you are probably dehydrated. ... For example, if your pre-training weight was 70kg and after your run, you ended up weighing 68.6kg, you lost already 2% of your body weight as sweat. ARE YOU THIRSTY? If you are feeling thirsty, thats already a manifestation of dehydration (This is not necessarily the best or the most accutate method though, as it is an individual response). CHECK THE COLOUR OF YOUR URINE: If your urine is too dark (more than 4 in the scale) you are dehydrated. Scroll to check the urine chart as a reference. The more of these indicators you use, the more accurate your determination will be. Keep in mind that these measures are not 100% accurate, and all these home-strategies may have some flaws. Do you use any of them?

15.01.2022 This week I ran 5km outside to oxygenate my brain to keep working with SPSS (yes, I almost cried there haha). Today, I ran 10km. Outside? Noup! It was more like an inside hot session on a treadmill, and I loved it! #sundayrun #nofilterneeded #mushroomphotography #melbournenature #hotrun #treadmill #returningtonormal

15.01.2022 During the weekend I went for a run after some time avoiding this. I was a bit anxious and not very comfortable running around without a mask. I decided then to change into a face shield bandana I wear usually during winter, to use while running next to other people exercising or walking their pets. This was ok for me; I did not struggle to breathe, and I felt I was giving others a bit of peace of mind. However, this was not the case for everyone. Many just decided to exercis...e, talk between them while running and have a chat afterwards without any type of face covering. At the playground, parents gathered together, took their face masks off to talk to children and only wore their mask if an adult was near. And that is a big IF! So, the point here is, what are we doing? We need to take care of others, not just us. There are people out there struggling to get out of their houses because of anxiety, and then, this is what they get when they are brave enough to get out. Children are wanting to return to school, but their parents are being irresponsible by not following the rules or giving a proper example to them. I understand this is tiring, I am tired too! But this is what we need to do to be able to socialise again. Do this for the people around you, the elders and the babies, the asthmatics, those with anxiety or fear to go out. Try to give an extra hand and follow the rules. We are in this together! PS: and please, dispose your masks in the bin! #covid_19 #socialdistancing #playgroundsareopen #facecovering #exercisingwithmasks #vicgov #gooutside #beresponsible #berespectful #careforothers #ruok

12.01.2022 Today I was meant to run my second half marathon (21.1km), but due to Covid, it ended up as a virtual event. I decided to run it anyway (on a treadmill!), and I made it to the finish line. I had less training sessions compared to last year, but only ~30s slower overall. Thanks to my nutrition plan (@liliaconvit), my hydration strategies (@the_sweat_scientist), my super coach (@andrearivasmaal) and my family @osc_mng @cconvitb @carmen.cordova.338 @kelly_simnett , today I a...m a happy runner. #runnelbourne #virtualrunmelbourne #proyectodenadaa42 #mumsthatrun #mysecondhalfmarathon #treadmillrunning #covidsucks2020 #inspiration #runmelbournevirtual #melbourneinstarunners @runmelbourne

12.01.2022 Hello everyone! Today I want to invite you to donate to this beautiful cause. Since a was little, the school I used to study at, is taking care of these children in need. And now from abroad, I am asking you to join the cause. By donating the equivalent to three coffees ($14), you will contribute to the education for 1 child for 2 weeks. ... Thanks in advance!! I knew you will make this possible https://www.globalgiving.org//venezuela-educate-heal-feed/

12.01.2022 When the next craving strikes you, tell yourself to HALT! This word is a handy acronym. Ask yourself: Am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired? If youre HUNGRY, then reach for a healthy snack. ... If youre ANGRY, then explore the issue and seek resolution. If you are LONELY, then reach out to a friend, instead of reaching for junk food. And if you are TIRED, then take the time to grab a nap or get to bed early to catch up on sleep. These are just some tricks you will find on an oldie but goodie post: HOW TO QUIT JUNK FOOD?.

10.01.2022 Good morning everyone, As you may know already, I am a researcher at Deakin University and I am currently conducting the Female Endurance Athlete Sex Hormone (FEASH) study. So far, there is not much information about women health and performance as most studies have been done in men. That’s why I need YOU! ... This study is an observational study that consists of daily online surveys across the duration of one menstrual cycle (which could be 28 days if you are using the pill or up to 32 days on average for those with normal menstrual cycles) The study aims to investigate the effect of changes in hormones across the menstrual cycle and with hormonal contraceptive use on gastrointestinal and sleep disturbances, which impact upon training and performance. You don’t need to be an elite athlete, but there are some inclusion criteria for you to participate: - You need to be healthy and between 18-40 years of age - You need to be an endurance athlete (e.g., riding a bike, running, swimming, triathlon) for at least 150 minutes per week. - Living and training in Australia. This is an important and novel research study; however, you are under no obligation to take part and participation in this study is voluntary with no financial incentives. Also, if you do agree to participate, you are free to withdraw at any time without any implication. If you want to be part of this amazing opportunity, please send an email to: [email protected] I really want to thank you in advance for your time, consideration and willingness to help female researchers to generate tailored findings for amazing female athletes like yourself. Kind regards, Lilia Convit IOC Post Grad Dip Sports Nutrition, B. Exerc. Sport Sci. (Hons), BSc. Nut & Dietetics School of Exercise & Nut.

10.01.2022 Hi there, I am looking for female endurance athletes living in Australia, between 18 and 40 years of age, exercising at least 150min per week! This research consist on online surveys for the length of one menstrual cycle to evaluate how the menstrual cycle influences diet, gastrointestinal symptoms and sleep. If you are interested, please send me an email to [email protected] ... Thanks so much and please share! Lilia

09.01.2022 This systematic literature review aimed to determine the protein requirements of pre-menopausal (e.g., 1845 years) female athletes and identify if the menstrual cycle phase and/or hormonal contraceptive use influence protein requirements. The EAR and RDI for protein intake of pre-menopausal recreational and/or competitive female athletes are within the mid- to upper range of current sports nutrition guidelines (1.22.0 g/kg/day); and are similar for aerobic endurance (EAR 1....281.63 g/kg/day, RDI 1.592.02 g/kg/day), resistance (EAR 1.49 g/kg/day, RDI 1.85 g/kg/day) and intermittent exercise (EAR 1.41 g/kg/day, RDI 1.75 g/kg/day). These protein requirements can be used as a starting point for planning or assessing daily protein intakes of recreational and competitive female athletes completing ~6090 min of exercise. The optimal acute (i.e., pre-, during or post-exercise) protein dose for female athletes remains to be determined. However, pre- and post-exercise protein intakes of 0.320.38 g/kg have demonstrated beneficial physiological responses in recreational and competitive female athletes completing resistance and intermittent exercise. The influence of menstrual cycle phase and hormonal contraceptive use on these protein requirements is unclear and requires further research. This review provides a foundation for female-specific protein requirements and the future development of sports nutrition guidelines that address the unique physiology of females and aim to enhance the preparation, performance and recovery of female athletes.

09.01.2022 Today I wanted to pay my respect to one dream. The dream I was planned to share with @kelly_simnett next week. It was going to be her first #halfmarathon at @runmelbourne but #covid19 didnt allow us to fullfil this dream. But that is ok too! We will do this regardless of time. Next year, the year after, who knows! But I will be cheering her at the end of the 21.1km. ... Next week, I will try 18-21km (?). Just for the sake of my mental health after the first week of homeschooling 2.0 #covidsucks #mumsofinstagram #runningmumsaustralia ##runmelbourne2020 #wewillgetthroughthis #treadmillrunning #winterrunner #staysafe @running4them

09.01.2022 Eating seasonally is good for the planet, your wallet and your waistline. But why? Eating according to the season’s availability allow you to buy food that is generally in its peak supply. That means that these foods are tastier, fresh and probably cheaper than at any other time of the year.... This is also good for the planet as it will allow you to buy locally, helping your local farmers. This translates into fewer resources to transport and store goods, reducing also the greenhouse gases emissions. An extra benefit is that by buying seasonal products, you increase the chances of buying more fruits and vegetables. This will allow you to leave for longer and will help you to maintain a healthy weight. During Spring (September- November) in Australia, try to look for: Fruits: apple, asparagus, avocado, banana, blueberries, cantaloupe, cherry, grapefruit, honeydew, lemon, lime, mandarin, mango, orange, papaya, pineapple, strawberries, tangelo and watermelon to name a few. Vegetables: artichoke, Asian greens, beans, beetroot, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, corn, eggplant, leek, lettuce, mushrooms, onion, peas, potato, pumpkin, spinach, tomato and zucchini among others. Have you considered seasonal eating before?

09.01.2022 It is ok to use food to reward yourself or celebrate with a dear one occasionally. But when this is your first mechanism to cope with your emotions there is something else that needs to be addressed. Sometimes is not a conscious act, but emotional eating makes you get stuck in an unhealthy cycle where the feeling/problem behind the action of eating is not addressed. The emotional eating cycle (check the image) is a never-ending loop. You feel better while eating, for a mome...nt, but the feelings that triggered the eating behaviour are still there. In my consultations, this is almost a norm, especially in obese patients. But it doesnt need to be this way. We can break the cycle, embrace the change and learn healthier ways to deal with our emotions, putting a stop to emotional eating.

06.01.2022 And this is the why...! Please go and check this post

06.01.2022 The first step to putting a stop to emotional eating is identifying your triggers. What situations, places, feelings and even people make you reach for the comfort of food? These are just a few common causes of emotional eating: Stress.... Stuffing emotions. Boredom or feelings of emptiness. Childhood habits Social influences. Do you relate with any in particular? Can you add an extra one to the list? (e.g. lockdown during COVID!)

06.01.2022 Here I want to share with you 6 tips to identify emotional hunger: 1-Emotional hunger comes on suddenly. 2-It craves specific comfort foods. ... 3-It often leads to mindless eating. 4-Emotional hunger isnt satisfied once you are full. 5-Emotional hunger isnt located in the stomach. 6-It ends up leading to regret, guilt or shame. Physical hunger is different, it comes gradually but can wait. Physical hunger is open to different food options and stops when you are full. Eating to satisfy your physical hunger doesnt make you feel bad about yourself. You enjoy the moment with family and friends, and it is always ok!

04.01.2022 A friend and colleague of mine just wrote this and I believe is very accurate and useful at the moment. Are 60 min enough? Let me know your thoughts!

04.01.2022 Today, I wanted to follow up the information from the podcast I recorded with @masquenutricion_podcast about hydration. There is a lot to talk about! But I want to start with the basis. When we exercise, we tend to sweat to dissipate heat. This process is also influenced by environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. ... Usually, we drink water to replenish these sweat losses (some people dont even drink at all) but more is not always better. Sweat is hypotonic to extracellular fluid but contains electrolytes, including, but not limited to, sodium, chloride and potassium. Heat acclimation improves the ability of the sweat gland to reabsorb sodium. Thus, the heat-acclimated persons typically have lower sweat sodium concentrations (>50% reductions) for a given sweat rate (Alan & Wilson 1971) but will secrete more sweat. However, if you are not acclimatised, if you dont know your sweat rates and/or sodium concentration in sweat, specially while practising endurance sports, you are at risk of suffering hyponatraemia, cramps and excessive fatigue. Even cognitive function in the heat could be affected. So lets have a debate here: do you take electrolytes while training or just plain water? Please leave your answers in the comments section. #hydrationisimportant #hydrationgoals #hydrationbydesign #hydrationtreatment #dehydration #hydration #hydrationwithpurpose #ironmantri #sweat #sweattest #exercise #fitness #health #thesweatlife #igrunners #running #cycling #endurance

03.01.2022 I am back at The Sweat Scientist !

03.01.2022 The new normal is still not normal for me! I am used to exercising outside, run in different trails every week and be surrounded by nature. It is the time I have to connect with myself, all alone, free of stress and free of little people calling me mummy every 3 seconds. It is my ME-time! However, after COVID lockdowns, we had to reinvent ourselves to try to exercise from home. This may be easy for some, but not all of us (like me). I have tried Insanity, TRX, free play... (e.g. soccer), jump the rope, etc. But I am not connecting to any of these activities. I miss my running! Nevertheless, there is a necessity for movement. We need to exercise, and there is more than one good reason behind this statement. Some time ago, I created a blog post summarising some physical activity guidelines, as I believe we know that we need to exercise, but we dont know how to start, what to include and sometimes even why we need to do it. Yet, I want to give you a hint. We need at least 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week, of moderate-intensity physical activity. We need to sweat! Do you comply with this recommendation? Check this blog post to have some extra info and let me know what you do at home to stay active during COVID lockdown! I need some extra motivation https://liliaconvit.com/physical-activity/ #wednesdaymotivation #exercisemotivation #exerciseismedicine #covidexercise #lockdown2020 #exercisefromhome #tipsandtricks

02.01.2022 Do you eat to feel better or relieve stress? If your answer was yes!, you are NOT alone! Emotional eating is using food to make yourself feel better. This may be done for comfort, stress relief, rewards to ourselves, etc. However, the tricky thing here is usually the type of food we reach. When we are feeling blue, bored, lonely and so on, we tend to eat ice-cream, order pizza and use the drive-through for a quick dinner fix on stressful days. ... Unfortunately, emotional eating doesnt fix emotional problems. Most of the time it makes you feel even worse, with a sense of guilt for overeating. If you are in that boat, you need to reach for help. Us Dietitians are part of the solution! We can guide you through the process while being accompanied by a Psychologist. Speak up, reach help! You dont need to do this all alone.
