The Tour de France Femmes might be over, and we HOPE they're resting, but are they cutting calories too?
No way! Here's why: Cutting calories during recovery can hinder your body's ability to bounce back after a race or tough training.
Reduced caloric intake = Delayed recovery
Restricting calories = Compromised immune system
Imbalanced hormones = Feeling out of whack
Instead, focus on a well-balanced diet with carbs, proteins, and healthy fats. And yes, treat yourself when cravings strike! Listen to your body and nourish it right during this essential part of your training process.
Remember, optimizing training benefits means not undoing all that hard work you just put in! So, no calorie-cutting allowed.
