World swimming champion Ariarne Titmus shares her go-to meals and snacks for training, competing and travel as she prepares for the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.
As a brand ambassador for GluteGuard, Ariarne has found ways to confidently eat without letting gluten interfere with her demanding training and schedule, ensuring she doesn’t accidentally consume it while she’s out and about and become glutened – a necessity, as even a trace amount of gluten can disrupt her daily routine and competition preparation.
As Ariarne readies to travel for the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she’ll train for five weeks before the games begin, she’s excited to share what she’ll eat to fuel her training and power her performance as a gluten-free foodie.
Carbohydrate-rich:
“Rice and starchy veggies are my go-to carbohydrate sources, they are very easy to prepare too. I then pair it with meat and lots of fresh salad or veggies.”
Fresh & simple ingredients:
“I prefer to eat in European countries like France and Italy where they eat a simpler diet. Yes, bread and pastas are prominent, but they often have gluten free alternatives that you can sub into a dish. Their meals are usually fresh, simple, and easy to make, making it easier to identify all the ingredients you’re consuming.”
Home-cooked meals:
“I find that I eat quite simple. One, it is easier and fast to prepare, but also, I have complete control over ensuring it is gluten free. Store bought sauces are the biggest worry, so I try to avoid them by making my own sauces and seasoning at home. Cooking is my outlet and time for me outside of the pool so I quite enjoy making up dishes and being as creative as I can with gluten free alternatives.”
All the GF snacks:
“I always bring snacks to munch on when out and about. Blue Dinosaur bars are great, Smoosh Balls, a good bunch of gluten free muesli bars (Carman’s are my favourite), nuts and rice cakes with honey and peanut butter.”
GluteGuard:
“I have a lot less anxiety around living gluten free now and try not to let it consume me – this is where GluteGuard is helpful and is another way you can take control and focus on the adventure and not the worries of being gluten free away from home.”
