  • 27. Diet Breaks: Brilliant method or Utter madness?

    You've probably heard about "diet breaks" on weight loss forums when people hit a plateau everyone chips in to recommend that the author “have a cheat meal", "have a burger" "come off the diet for a few days that always works for me"……. but is there any science to back this up?

    Is there any method in this madness? Does it work?

    This episode looks at the role diet breaks have in weight loss, when they are a good idea, and why they are not a silver bullet for shifting a weight loss plateau

    For some going hard and fast into a diet works for them, but for many it ends in failure , if thats you then the focus for sustainable weight loss should be on what is acheivable for you - your lifestyle - you shouldn't be aiming for an unrealistic ideal of the perfect diet and exercise routine that you will never be able to stick to.

  • 24 Yes you can have your cake and eat it (in moderation)

    In this short episode I talk about how including treats into a weight loss diet is a good plan for adherence, for making sure you stick to the diet without feeling deprived and has the added bonus of teaching you moderation around your favourite foods so that maintenance (which is notoriously hard) is easier.

  • 21. Why Intense Cardio isn't great for Fat loss

    In this episode I talk about why I don’t recommend my clients with a fat loss goal put too much focus on hard cardio when they are trying to lose fat, sounds counterintuitive but there is a lot of evidence behind it as an approach...I talk about the pitfalls of HIIT etc when trying to lose fat and what I'd recommend instead.

  • 20. Low energy, is it impacting your diet/exercise motivation?

    Dieting is more than counting calories; Low energy levels impact your motivation to stick to a diet and exercise routine.

    Dieting is also about sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement, stress management, understanding our hormonal balance, and sometimes making sure you are eating enough. This episode encourages you to see the bigger picture of your health and offers ways you can tweak things to improve your energy levels.
