Conquer Food Show

Are you trying to lose a few pounds you have gained during lockdown? Or maybe you are just trying to get fitter? Or maybe your a bodybuilder trying to bulk up!

In this episode of the Conquer Food Podcast, Craig presents his 4-step framework for checking your energy and health to check what, when and how long your fitness sessions should be.

In this episode Craig discusses:

☞ How many times should you train?
☞ What training frequency is ideal!
☞ How more intensive sessions need more rest?
☞ Why you shouldn't base how hard you have trained on how much pain you feel.
☞ How you can use your heart rate in order to track your fitness.
☞ Are you getting fitter or increasing your chance of injury.
☞ The signs and symptoms of your overtraining.

"REST IS WHERE FITNESS HAPPENS"
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Signs & Symptoms of overtraining?

✘ Disrupted Sleep!
✘ Appetite
✘ Niggles and injuries.
And surprisingly...
✘ Getting a common cold or flu.


Mentioned in this episode: M.E.S.H. Test - how to determine whether its a "working-in" or a "working-out" day.

✅M - Mood
✅E - Energy Levels
✅S - Stress Levels 
✅H - Health
 
➡️ Rate how you are feeling on a scale of 1-10 (Absolutely Pants - Amazeballs). 

The higher it is the more intensively, frequent and the great volume your training should be! Seriously that easy!

Beating Unhealthy Obsessions With Food...

In this episode of the Conquer Food Podcast, Craig answers one of our long-term Conquer foodie's question "There is time you have to become obsessed with something in order to master it or to succeed, but when does an obsession become an addiction - in terms of fitness and food can addiction be considered a good thing?"

In this episode, Craig exposes how thing such as emotions and your overall state of mind can impact your obsessions. He also talks about the second and third-hand consequences of addiction.

When does something you are obsessed with start becoming an addiction?

"An addiction is an obsession that has become unhealthy"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fast, sugary junk food addictions ▶︎  "THE ULTIMATE RESULT COULD BE DEATH"

In terms of fitness and health is addiction a good thing?

✓ Sometimes, obsession can be a good thing if you are looking to put a significant dent in your image.

✭ Even if it is only for 6-8 weeks!

Craig discusses an NLP technique called checking your ecology to ensure that everything sits well with that decision and you can live with the consequences of your addiction.

Giving Up Coffee & The Negative Effects of Caffeine

The problem with caffeine is that it “burns out” your Central Nervous System and causes numerous, negative changes in your hormones, which ultimately accelerates ageing.

The negative changes in hormones are:
Increase in stress hormones, such as cortisol -- this means more belly fat.
A decrease in testosterone -- this means less muscle and lower libido.
A decrease in growth hormone & IGF -- more fat, accelerated ageing.
A decrease in thyroid hormones (T3) -- slower metabolism and fat gain.
A decrease in adrenal hormones -- DHEA, pregnenolone, etc.
A decrease in melatonin -- sleep and anti-ageing hormone.
Increase in estrogen -- breast cancer, gynecomastia (“Man Boobs”), irregular menstruation
Higher blood sugar and insulin insensitivity -- more fat, less muscle, diabetes, etc.

Another major issue is neurological in that it causes issues by decreasing dopamine release and dopamine receptor sensitivity -- both are bad because it decreases happiness and can cause Parkinson's.

It also causes a decrease in another neurotransmitter, serotonin. This means again, less happiness, more worry, stress, anxiety and panic.


Other health problems that are non-hormonal
Oxidative stress and inflammation -- related to numerous health problems, aches and pains
PH imbalance (more acidic) -- acid reflux, osteoporosis, gut bacterium imbalances
Insomnia & poor sleep (shallow REM sleep) -- a cause of too many health problems and hormonal imbalances.
High blood pressure

And more...

How Your Self-Image Sabotages Your Weight Loss & Fitness Results

In this episode, I explain how our self-image can often sabotage our progress towards weight loss and fitness goals. 

We often think we have a thought, which then controls our behaviour and the behaviour dictates our results. This is incorrect. We have a thought which first must pass through the sub-conscious mind before we act. Our subconscious mind hols our self-image, values, beliefs, previous experiences, biases, traits and programming, which may be in conflict with your goals. 

It’s a lot like an autopilot on a plane. When we take off the pilot can release the controls as he turns on the autopilot and no matter what happens during the flight, the plane will always move back on course to the destination that has been set. 

If we believe that we will always be big or that we can not run, we will always default back to that. 

The way to overcome this is to:
1 - Repetition, repetition, repetitions of the following:
2 - Become aware of our language
3 - Constantly look for the evidence to disprove your current belief and support the new belief
4 - Use the words ‘but’ and ‘yet’ top turn your closed statements into open statements
5 - Challenge other peoples closed statements. Looking for the language in others is a great way to quickly learn the process ourselves.

The 4 Biggest Killers of Exercise & Diet Motivation

Today, I provide an overview of some new research (PLUS my input) into the 4 biggest killers of motivation. 

The study was completed by Richard Clark from the BSC Clinic for Cognitive Thinking

They are: 

• Value Mismatch

Values are what we hold dear. They impact how we think and what we do, but they can also conflict with our ultimate health and fitness goals.

To establish your values check out The Values Factor book or look through the lists here

• A Lack of Self-Efficacy

How you value yourself and whether you think you are good enough or able. People with low self-efficacy will see problems as obstacles and may even avoid challenging tasks. They will tend to focus on the previous failure instead of wins.

To increase your self-efficacy start building up a history of wins and success with small achievable goals and recognising your progress. 

• Disruptive Emotions

Sometimes the silliest emotions can cause you to eat bad food or not do your workout. Look out for the trigger situations and emotions then look for ways to change your reaction to these events and emotions.

• Attribution Errors

Often we attribute failures and problem to the wrong things. Spend time brainstorming the factors that you believe are causing you issues and work out if they are the true causes of failures.

Keto for Beginners. Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet With Paula Williams

Welcome to the Conquer Food Podcast with Craig and Paula Williams where we share tips, tricks, and strategies from the coalface of the weight loss industry in the UK. We are going to help you to think, eat and move better. Ultimately, we're going to help you finally gain control and Conquer Food.

We've got a great guest today, my beautiful wife and business partner, Paula, who is also the founder and lead coach and the Conquer Food Programme. 

I want to talk a bit about the food specifically. Paula, you lived a keto diet and ketogenic lifestyle for quite a while. You had some great results. Living on a ketogenic lifestyle at the time because you had a bad knee.

So you couldn't do any exercise yet. You still lost weight and a ton of weight.

My weight is always secondary to my mental house. That's the one thing that I'm constantly working on and when I'm in a state of ketosis my mental health becomes so much more improved.

It is incredible. So for me, When I'm not in a ketogenic state, what happens is I'm plagued by, sugar cravings and I think there's a lot of people out there. I know, especially people I talk to who come to camp that, food becomes the thing that they think about from the minute they wake up to the minute they go to sleep.

There'll be other people that say, Oh my God, really? Yes. Actually, really that's, that's a reality for a lot, lot of people. And, and a lot of people do suffer, with, with mental health problems and depression. And I think because, and I don't know the exact science behind this, this Craig in too much detail, but what I do know is when your body is using the stores of fat that it already has, it doesn't scream at you to fill yourself with carbohydrates.

Other benefits discussed in this podcast include:

1. Low-Carb Diets Reduce Your Appetite

2. Low-Carb Diets Lead to More Weight Loss at First

3. A Greater Proportion of Fat Loss Comes From Your Abdominal Cavity

4. Triglycerides Tend to Drop Drastically

5. Increased Levels of 'Good' HDL Cholesterol

6. Reduced Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels

7. May Lower Blood Pressure

8. Effective Against Metabolic Syndrome

9. Improved 'Bad' LDL Cholesterol Levels

10. Therapeutic for Several Brain Disorders

S3-Ep20 Losing 17 kgs (2.5 Stone) in 33 Days With Mark Neale

Residential rapid weight loss breaks

Transcription
I've got great guests for you today, with some mega insight into a massive chunk of weight loss. His name's Mark Neale and in 33 days, get this, lost 17 kilos! Just under three stone!

Okay. Well, I'm a, I'm 52, and, I've always been a bodybuilder, always been in the gym, joined the army as a teenager, and that sort of started my fitness regime. Recently I have had a lot of personal and business problems. That just leads to no motivation to train, lots of motivation to eat the wrong things, to make yourself feel better. So all of my muscle tone went, and then I just built fat and started eating and drinking too much.

I just started to think I needed to do something really significant. My life had come to a big crossroads, so I had a natural break in my professional life and natural break in my personal life. I just started searching the internet for a boot camp and that led me here

What things were you worried about?

Yeah, very nervous. When I pulled up in the car the first Friday I turned up here and I remember pulling it into the driveway and my heart started racing.

So when you've arrived at camp had you set some expectations for yourself?

Physically I hadn't done anything for four years. I wasn't afraid physically but I was apprehensive cause I wasn't sure how much my body, 52 years old, how much my body could take. But there's been people through boot camp, 60 plus years old.

What have you learned about yourself since being at camp?

I've completely changed my attitude towards foods. I now spend probably three times longer in a shop because I'm looking at all the labels for kind of what's in the ingredient list. I'm now consciously making better decisions about what fuel I put into my body.

Can you give listeners one tip for training, one tip of food 7 one tip for mindset?

The only advice I can think of giving anyone that's going to come into this environment is you've just got to push yourself to the absolute limit. You'll be surprised at what you can achieve.

What about a tip for food?

Only because it's been drilled into us by the trainers... make sure you have lots of colourful food. If you look at a plate of colour, it's gonna be, a really healthy, exciting plate of food because it will be scattered with vegetables and different styles of meats.

What about something that helps you maintain a positive mindset?
Find all the best qualities in other people and import them into your own life and then spread that knowledge as much as you can.

What does your future for you look like?

So knowing what I've achieved in that first month, 17 kilos.  , I can't even, I can't even guess where I'm going to be at the end of my journey because all I know that this natural break that we've, we're having to live with when we do start again, my body will be shocked again.
Like it was in that first week and my first week I lost 12 pounds. 

Thanks for sharing your story, it's gonna be interesting to see where you at the end.
