Episode 33 Low Carb Vs Low Fat Diets

Following a major new study in the U.S.A. we are asking the question which is better for weight loss, Low fat or Low carbohydrate diets?

This twelve-month diet dug deep into these two dietary approaches and the results might just surprise you. Exploring not only which elicits the best weight loss but also if your genetically more likely to respond better to one approach over another. Over 600 hundred participants and over a year's worth or research and today we are breaking down the findings.

This week I take a quick look at the news headlines into "Ulta-Processed Foods" and a Japanese study into chewing more to lose weight.

Our main topic of the week in episode 32 is the three reasons your not losing weight. I see many clients succes and fail on the very three topics I'm discussing today.

Tune in to find out what they are.

This week I am breaking down a recent article claiming that it is better to do three shorter brisk walks and to forget the 10,000 steps per day recommendation.

This article could have offered a lot of clarity and guidance to its readers but sadly it decided to opt for the quick headline and damage the reputation of a well established and sensible recommendation for increasing activity.

As with everything, it's all about the context and this article falls short of the mark in more than one area. Tune in as I break down these two approaches and help you to find a smarter starting point.

EP29 Food Culture & Weight Gain

This week's Podcast I'm asking is we really are a nation of foodies or is it that our food culture is the reason we're all getting fat?

With so much of our lifestyle moving at breakneck speed are we losing touch with the importance of basic skills for healthy living like cooking? In a society where you technically don't need to cook a single meal is this having a lasting impact on our health?

Tune in to find out.

With Christmas over indulgences and December party season drawing to a close for another year (depending on when your tuning in of course), this week I am focussing the podcast on helping set up a smarter mindset for the New Year.

With so many extra treats in December, it can be all too easy to over-correct in January and take a huge leap in the opposite direction, opting for detox diets, rapid weight loss plans, and the all too tempting quick fix solutions. These approaches ultimatley will not be ideal for your long term success so I'm breaking down just a few reasons why you need to adopt a more measures response to the New Year.

Merry Christmas & and Happy New Year

The Podcast will return on the 11th January. Thanks for listensing.

Episode 25 The 7000 Calorie Christmas Dinner

The big day is just around the corner and I'm breaking down just how many calories go into the average Christmas dinner, a few ways you could burn some of them off. I round everything off I with a few tips to help reduce the calorie armageddon and lighten your day while still having a good time. 

Following episode 24 about diabetes reversal, I'm sharing some feedback and a few more thoughts on this topic. 

Happy Listening!

Do Liquid Diets Reverse Diabetes?

This week I'm breaking down the headlines and bold claims being made around diabetes reversal through very low-calorie liquid diets. I share my thoughts on why I feel as a health coach and nutritionist this approach is potentially damaging and draw comparisons from the failed weight loss pills of the early 2000's.

A more serious tone today but a topic I am deeply passionate about and feel we should all understand better. This podcast is not just for the diabetics as this approach could impact everyone on restrictive weight loss diets.

Happy Listening.

In Part Three of our Christmas Survival Guide I look at the importance of critical thinking both in the everyday things we read on the internet and the ways in which we are marketed to in the Festive Season.

I examine one Personal Trainer in Australia who is claiming disease is your body's way of healing you (this didn't go down well). I explore festive marketing techniques including the big red trucks of a well known fizzy drinks manufacturer and finally, I give my thoughts on smarter preparation for Christmas food shopping.

Show Notes:

Introduction

Bold health claims and internet backlash

Festive marketing and big red trucks

Smarter Christmas planning and the importance of critical thinking.
