Astrid Naranjo- The Antidiet Dietitian- Her Bodybuilding Diet Secrets, Successes and What YOU Can Learn From Them.

Wow!! A return guest and always a joy to speak with- Astrid is an ACCREDITED PRACTICING DIETITIAN , competitive bodybuilder, and advocate for balanced health and self-acceptance. Known as the “anti-diet dietitian,” she promotes intuitive eating, body positivity, and fostering a healthy relationship with food.

Astrid’s journey into female bodybuilding was not without its challenges. Reflecting on her start, she shares, “I always wanted to do it, but I never felt ready emotionally, mentally, or physically. I was not confident that I would be able to do it because I had issues with my relationship with food.”

Despite these struggles, she rose to become a decorated bodybuilder, earning her pro card, winning multiple medals, and being recognized as an Australian champion.

Beyond the physical transformation, Astrid emphasizes personal growth, resilience, and the mental readiness needed for such a journey. Her experiences taught her the importance of support systems, especially the encouragement of her husband, of whom she says,

“It was so nice to see that commitment that he had towards being my best supporter, which for me was hard at the very beginning because I wasn’t sure if he was going to support me.”

Astrid’s philosophy blends scientific expertise with personal insight, encouraging individuals to honor their unique journeys and prioritize emotional and physical well-being.

Whether through her work or online presence, she inspires others to embrace self-compassion and cultivate confidence both inside and out.
