Hello, Lara, tell us a bit about yourself?
Hey! I’m Lara – a qualified nutritionist, IFBB (International Federation of BodyBuilding & Fitness) competitor and a lover of all things health and fitness. I’m also a Biomedical Sciences graduate which was a VERY full-on degree. I was at university 9am to 5pm every day working hard to achieve my undergraduate degree. It was very science based as I may be a very big nerd.
You recently finished your master’s degree in Nutrition — what’s the best diet and fitness tip you could give us?
I love to help individuals wanting to achieve their health and fitness goals, so the best diet... is simple – you need to find HEALTHY foods which you love and enjoy. I always believe a diet is a lifestyle change and for me I really believe in balance and achieving that long term will help you achieve your goals.
You are also a fitness competitor who has a few ICN Victoria Overall Champion titles under your belt. How did you get into this and achieve these wins?
