In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed bariatric bodybuilder, Ana Claro, also known as @bananasplit_gettinfit on IG. We discussed:

  • How Ana used her Crossfit workouts to gain strength and muscle mass
  • Why Ana decided to compete in a transformation show this summer
  • How Ana fueled for gaining muscle and to prepare for a show
  • How Ana transitioned back into a regular eating pattern and adapted her mindset after her shows
  • Ana's advice for how to get started with gaining muscle
