Ariarne Titmus is a professional swimmer. She has won eight medals in the 2020 and 2024 Olympics. Titmus recently shared a set of photos on Instagram of her recent updates. In them, she is seen at the beach, on a boat, and spending time with her loved ones. She captioned the post, “Imma happy little vegemite.”
She Cooks
Titmus likes to cook a lot of her meals. She talked about this in an interview with She Society. “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.”
She Has A Pre-Competition Meal
Titmus shares what she eats before competitions with Nine. “On competition day, you need to have maximum glycogen stores to race, but you also aren't expending as much energy as you would during a big training session. So, with this in mind, I usually have my usual gluten-free porridge for breakfast, eggs and avocado on gluten-free toast for lunch, a pre-race snack of yoghurt and gluten-free muesli and fried rice with chicken for dinner.”
She Still Indulges
While Titmus eats healthy on a regular basis, she also likes to indulge in the off-season. She tells Nine, “The off-season is the period that I can let my hair down a bit with my diet. However, I don't want to let my body composition change drastically, so I still try to maintain healthy eating habits with smaller portions because I'm not spending as much energy as I would be when training. I do eat out a lot more and allow myself a drink with my family and friends.”
She Stays Hydrated
One of Titmus’ wellness secrets? Staying hydrated. She tells Nine, “During a training session I have a bottle of water and an energy gel to hand, to help me through the session in the pool. Between swimming and workouts at the gym, I usually have a protein shake.”
She Eats A Variety Of Foods
Titmus shared some of her favorite foods with Nine. She says that she makes sure to include a variety of foods. “Dinner varies every night, but I always make sure it includes a good mix of meat, carbohydrates, and vegetables. During times of the year when I'm training and competing, I keep my diet quite basic, so that I can keep my weight as stable as possible. An example of my training dinner is steak with roast potatoes and a Greek salad, or satay chicken stir fry with loads of veggies and rice.”
