What Is the Best Diet for High-Intensity Sports?

High-intensity sports, like sprinting, weightlifting, and interval training, demand not just peak physical performance but also precise nutritional strategies to fuel the body adequately. Knowing what is the best diet for high-intensity sports can make a significant difference in performance, recovery, and overall athletic longevity. Athletes engaged in these sports need a well-rounded diet that…

Framing fitness around vanity, instead of function, is possibly one of the most disastrous things the diet industry has done.

The icon of fitness shouldn't be a bathing suit model with chiseled abs. It should be a parent with enough stamina to carry their kid to bed.

It should be a busy nurse who figured out an effective sleep hygiene & nap schedule to stay efficient at work.

It should be a warehouse worker who has a good warm up and stretching routine to protect their body while they're carrying stuff all day.

Fitness is about FUNCTION, not appearance.

it’s wild to me the way a lot of skinny people think weight works like they really genuinely believe that fat people could only be the size they are and continue to exist at that size because they eat “too much” and exercise “too little” and that losing weight is a straight forward process.

like, i started a job last spring that meant i went from getting very little physical activity to typically walking 5-7 miles a day on uneven terrain, carrying shit. My eating habits have remained more or less consistent.

I have not lost weight. My proportions have remained more or less the same. My clothes fit me about the same. I think any fat person would not find this particularly surprising but isn’t calories in calories out the gospel people constantly preach? you’d think dramatically and consistently increasing my physical activity would accomplish this but it obviously didn’t. I am not complaining, changing the size or shape of my body is not a goal of mine, but it’s notable that the actions the medical institutions endorse as ways to achieve that sure don’t actually work.

but while my body has not visibly changed, it’s definitely been great for my health! my mood and energy are significantly better. My resting heart rate dropped by ~10 bpm. I have stronger legs and better stamina. But I do not think anyone would look at me and think of me as someone who lives an “active lifestyle” despite the fact that i do. it’s amazing and depressing to me how many people have bought into the complete lie that you can judge health from appearances and the myth that fat people just lack discipline or someshit

Hello, I would like to ask you a question that has been interesting to me for a long time, but I am afraid that it may somehow offend you, so I apologize. I understand if you do not want to discuss such things.

May you please tell me a little about the side effects of the transition?

So, the downsides of medical transition? Sure, I can name a few things. But a lot of "side effects" people warn you about are really just "be sure you're prepared to be more physiologically like a cis man -- you can't pick and choose what effects you get, but you can predict some of them based on genetics."

(Transphobes like to make this sound scary, like you're damaging your body. But it's like... OK, a receding hairline? Yeah, no shit that's gonna happen. Happens to most dudes. Jokes on you, a lot of people are into that. And I can take some finesteride to slow it down, so stop using visual shorthand for masculinity to scare me away from masculinity.)

That said, be sure you're prepared for changes to:

How you gain muscle & fat

Your libido

Your hair growth patterns

How you express (and possibly even feel) emotions

Your voice

Your genitals

Your risk factors for certain health conditions. Some will improve, some will get worse. Me, I have to keep an eye on my congenital heart issue.

That said, the only real "side effects" that I feel are unique to being trans and/or me are:

Vaginal dryness. There's creams for that, so, completely manageable.

You of course need to be aware of your liver health, since you're on a major medication. But it's your doc's job to check your levels and adjust accordingly. I have had no issues.

My ADHD and memory maybe got a bit worse? But they are both stable now.

If I miss a shot, I get irritable (T makes me a much calmer person)

That's really it for me.

I've had top surgery and the only side effect there was that I rejected some sutures (first time that has happened) and thus got a gnarly scar, but that can happen with any surgery.

Other folks are welcome to chime in. Again, I think it's important to distinguish between "side effect" and "this is a new-to-you thing to deal with that is common for cis men."

how do you stay so skinny? any tips? 😭

control and disinterest, I call it unintentional discipline lmao.

I eat clean, but when I don't, it's usually not a lot, I also workout. I've always been very lean, so maybe it's just luck. maybe when I (finally) start the YouTube, I will do a 'what I eat in a day'. <3

this is my current physique , sorry for the dirty mirror hahaha

Hey, can you please say the names of the workout subreddits again? I was going to start exercise ages ago but.. anyway, I need to find the beginner workouts again

I highly recommend r/xxfitness for everyone, lots of great info there. r/beginnerfitness can be a good resource, so is r/bodyweightfitness esp if you can’t go into a gym. r/EOOD is also great — they talk about exercise and how it can help treat some symptoms of depression. Lots of easy and short exercises there.

If I had to choose one resource I see posted across these subreddits, it would be Stronger By Science. There’s great articles, a podcast, and it’s all data-backed, science-heavy yet accessible content. They have great free programs and discussions with doctors+scientists, not just “bro” podcasters. They also make my favorite food/diet app, MacroFactor.

Be wary of the weight loss subreddits that cross over into some of the fitness subreddits, however. They can be helpful if that’s your goal, but some of them are whackadoodle and will have you running insane workout splits on minimal calories which is no way to go through life.

Okay this is going to be a strange poll, but I had this question on my mind for a week.

[fitnxsss-xo]

[fitnessadvicethatfitsinyourlife]

Important Fitness habits that have nothing to do with burning or restricting calories:

Sleep hygiene

Prioritizing rest

Drinking hydrating fluids

Eating a variety of fruits & veggies

Eating a variety of protein sources

I did not include exercise related fitness habits like improving endurance or mobility or muscle mass, because moving obviously burns calories, and I want to highlight the fact that there are many beneficial fitness habits to choose from even if you have no interest in exercise at all.

Headcanon that Ford gains some weight post canon/on the Stan of War 2; he was probably unhealthily underweight/malnourished from his 30 years in dimension hopping/survival mode. (He says he 'maintained diet and exercise' during that time but. C'mon. He's clearly coping there's no shot he could've had time for that while just trying to survive). And I think Stan loses some weight that he gained from 30 years of drinking/depression now that he's a lot happier and probably quit drinking for good (quit it for the twins visit, but didn't go back to it once he was on the Stan of War).
