How to Eat Normally After a Bodybuilding Show (Without Rebound Chaos)
Mon Feb 02 2026
If you're struggling with food noise, rebound eating, or fear of "normal eating" after a bodybuilding show (or years of extreme dieting), this episode is your reset. We'll cover how to eat normally after prep, rebuild food trust, reduce binge urges, and transition away from tracking macros without losing control.
Welcome to Boss Bitch Radio. I'm Diane Flores, and I help retired bodybuilders, former competitors, and extreme dieters stop living like they're still in diet season - so they can stay athletic, hot, and healthy without food fear, food noise, or massive rebound chaos.
In this episode, we're diving into how to eat normally after a bodybuilding show, why post-show nutrition feels so damn hard, and what actually causes rebound eating after show (hint: it's not a lack of willpower). If you've ever gained weight rapidly after a show, struggled with binge eating after prep, or felt stuck tracking every bite because you're terrified to stop, this conversation will hit home.
Even if you've never stepped on stage, if you've dieted like you were prepping for one, this episode will resonate. This is about repairing your relationship with food, recovering from extreme dieting, and learning how to eat like a normal, confident human again - not someone still trapped in prep brain.
