In this episode I look at the most common dieting, training and lifestyle 'myths' I hear from Client's. Is fruit really the devil? How many coffees is too many coffees and do I really need to train multiple times during the week to get great dieting results?

With the world beginning to return to quote-on-quote, normal - there has understandably been some nervousness regarding what this will mean for fitness and weight loss goals. Worry regarding going back to the gym and socialising again has been on the minds of Client's over the last week and I'd like to touch on it now. The Scottish Government has issued guidance that the gym's will not be opening here until August but if this is something on your mind NOW, I greatly encourage you to listen and hopefully put some of those fears to bed.

Evening snacking was a common barrier that came up in a recent Check In that I addressed in an IG post (see below) but felt there was much more to expand on. This is followed by a look into Binge Eating.
