Episode 13: Q+A: Protein bars and snacks, how to know when *healthy* behaviors go to far, and should you work out while sick?

<p>In this weeks preamble, we talk about modern dating, boundaries, and why Holly and Gillian like the idea of being with someone bilingual. Gillian shares some recent dating experiences and the difficulty of dating in a pandemic.</p> <p>From there, we head into a Q+A discussion that ranges from nutrition to mindset to training, covering three widely asked questions within our communities and client bases! On the podcast this week:</p> <p><strong>What do we think about protein bars/snacks?</strong></p> <p>We talk about the pros and cons of protein bars, why you might actually want to eat a candy bar instead (SHOCKING) and how to know when your protein bar addiction is going too far. We also share our tips for choosing a ‘good’ protein bar, and some ingredients and red flags to stay away from.</p> <p><strong>How do you know when you might be taking it *too* far with your healthy habits?</strong></p> <p>We talk about the spectrum of healthy behaviours, and how to tell if maybe you’ve gone too far along, and what to do if you’re feeling like you might need to take a step back. This is a topic that the three of us can speak to from personal experience, both as a client and a coach, and have struggled with in our own lives.</p> <p><strong>Should you work out when you’re sick?</strong></p> <p>This conversation has changed a bit since COVID has hit us, AND it ties into the previous question- if you’re feeling compelled to work out, even though you’re sick.. what is your REAL goal here? We also give you some practical tips for exercising when you don’t feel 100%, and how to gauge whether a workout is a terrible idea or not.</p> <p><em><strong>If you’re loving these episodes, go ahead and share them with your community, either on social media or via email or text- if each of you lovely listeners shares with ONE person, that helps move this little podcast into many more hands!</strong></em></p> <p><strong>Mentioned in this episode:</strong></p> <p>Podcast: How I built this with Guy Raz</p> <p>Game: We are not really strang
