Stopping weight loss drugs is followed by weight regain and reversal of beneficial effects on heart and metabolic health markers like high blood pressure, finds BMJ review. Regain was faster than after behavioural weight management programmes @_WestSam bmj.com/content/392/bmj-2025…

Recommended read: New #SSE by @BenjaminTWall et al. discussing alternate forms of dietary protein for recovery beyond ‘plant vs animal proteins’. Including the challenges & opportunities for plant-, fungal-,algal- & insect-derived proteins. #GSSI gssiweb.org/en/sports-scienc…

Alternative Forms Of Protein For Recovery - Gatorade Sports Science Institute

Alternative proteins may expand sustainable recovery options for athletes. This SSE reviews fungi, insects, algae, quality, acceptability, and application.

Yesterday, a British man completed one of the greatest sporting achievements EVER. Russ Cook ran the ENTIRE length of Africa in 352. That is 16,294KM, which is equivalent to 386 marathons and 19.1 million steps. Congratulations - this is truly an incredible accomplishment!

#AdvNutr review points to the growing number of successful elite athletes following a vegan diet, noting, however, that "such anecdotal reports are likely underpinned by careful planning and application beyond what is required from an omnivorous diet." ow.ly/GgX550OcEyL
