  • 015 - Why & How I Help My Clients Ditch 1200 Calorie Diets

    Today's video I go into more detail about 1200 calorie diets and why/how I help my clients ditch them.

       

    This comes off the back of a social media post from earlier in the week, when I essentially said someone who is eating 1200 calories and not losing weight, is someone who is not eating 1200 calories!

       

    I also mentioned that 1200 calories is not a lot of food and the majority of adults would struggle to stick to that for any lengthy period of time.

        

    Listen to the podcast to learn more about how MOST people underestimate their food intake, and how I go about trying to get my clients to understand their food intake better.

           

    If you currently feel stuck with your diet drop me a message with any questions.

         

    (Apologies for the cough, I've been ill this week and haven't been able to shake it).

  • 011 - Are calories on food menus a good idea?

    In this episode I give my thoughts on new rules down south which makes it a legal requirement for businesses to display calorie content on their food menus.

        

    There is also talk of it being implemented in Scotland so I thought I'd jump on and discuss it.

  • 010 - Weighing Yourself

    Weighing Yourself

        
    This video gives you more info on using the scale.
        
    I go over...
        
    1) The different factors that effect your scale weight.
    2) Advice on how to go about weighing yourself correctly.
       
    Personally, I think the scale is a really useful tool but only if used correctly.
        
    There can be a lot of negative emotions associated with weighing yourself, imo there doesn't have to be, again if done correctly.
        
    For most people I don't think the scale is the problem, it's the way they view it and the way they use it.
       
    Nowadays a lot of people have a "f*ck the scale" mentality. I've definitely said this in the past, but in the video I cover why I think the scale is a useful tool for the majority of people.
        
    Basically this video helps you better understand the pros & cons of weighing yourself so you can make your own mind up on whether you do it.
        
    I'm not saying f*ck the scale, I'm not saying weigh yourself every day, I'm providing the info and I'll let you decide what you do with it.
        
    I think the biggest issue with the scale is that it only tells you your weight at one point in time.
        
    It just tells you whether you've gained/lost/maintained weight, but it doesn't provide any context or tell you where that weight has came from.
       
    Your weight also fluctuates on a regular basis, which is why I don't think weighing once a week is helpful.
        
    Instead...
        
    It's better to weigh yourself a few times a week so you can get used to seeing your weight fluctuate.
    You should aim to weigh yourself at the same day/time when possible.
    Take the emotion out of it. Your weight doesn't define you as a person.
         
    Listen to the podcast for more info and let me know if you have any thoughts/questions or need help with anything.

  • 009 - Feeling sore after a workout

    This podcast answers 2 questions...          


    1) Why do you feel sore after a workout?           

    2) Should you aim to feel sore after a workout?                  


    Here's what I cover in the podcast quickly...          

    You feel sore after a workout for 3 reasons...        

                           

    1) Doing a workout or exercise which is new or unfamiliar to your muscles. 

    2) The workout you did was more intense than what you're used to doing 

    3) Certain exercises create more muscle damage.

                          

    And you don't necessarily have to be sore after every workout, in fact the more experienced you get you should rarely ever be sore!               

    So just because you're not sore after a workout doesn't mean you haven't worked hard enough. And just because you're sore after a workout doesn't mean you've made more progress. Don't chase soreness!.

                                 

    For a longer explanation listen to the audio and enjoy!.
