  • 83. Busting 7 Myths Around Nutrition for Building Muscle & Strength
    Sep 24 2025

    In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I bust 7 myths around nutrition for building muscle and strength after bariatric surgery including:

    • All bariatric individuals who want to gain muscle must take in 1g/lb of protein per day
    • Strength training will lead to weight gain and make me look bulky
    • I have to workout every day to build muscle
    • You have to eat low carb for life, no matter your goals
    • You have to eat within 30-60 min post-workout window or else you won't fully recover
    • All supplements are safe if you buy them online
    • Even if I can't hit my nutrition targets, I can just use supplements to meet my goals

    We review why these myths are promoted, the actual evidence-based guidelines, and practical takeaways so you can start applying them right away!
