Episode 112

The one thing you cannot do is outrun a bad diet,so my case study today is someone close to my heart.
My Dad is an embodiment of life's simple pleasures, and chief among them has been his enduring love affair with sugar. From delectable chocolate bars to mouthwatering biscuits to velvety ice cream, he's savored every moment of indulgence for as long as I can remember.
Now although he kept himself in shape his entire life the sugar addiction was always stalking in the shadows.Then post pandemic the chickens came home to roost just as I arrive home after four years away from his company.
So join me today on how I took no pleasure in bollocking an old man so he's about that little bit longer for his Grandkids.

Well, after a 4-year hiatus thanks to COVID-19, I finally decided to unleash my "travel agent" mode on my kids, now 10 and 12. Expecting them to be thrilled about jetting off to Singapore, Indonesia, and Europe, I was met with a surprising twist. It turns out, their wanderlust is hyper-focused on one destination: Universal Studios. Who needs the Eiffel Tower or Indonesian beaches when you can have roller coasters and oversized turkey legs, right? 
Wrong,WIFI and Sprite is all they want and after all we’ve shown them.FFS.

Welcome to "Fast Friends," the podcast episode where we explore the benefits of transitioning from a 16:8 fasting protocol to a more advanced 20:4 approach. If you're new to intermittent fasting, don't fret. I'll break it down for you. Intermittent fasting isn't some fancy diet or quick-fix solution. It's a simple eating pattern that involves cycling between periods of fasting and eating. And let me tell you, it's been making waves in the health and wellness community for good reason.

Getting your first bicycle as a kid is an exhilarating experience that brings with it a newfound sense of freedom. It's a rite of passage, a gateway to exploration, and a symbol of independence. The moment you lay eyes on that shiny two-wheeled wonder, your world suddenly expands, and the possibilities seem endless.

With a bicycle, you break free from the limitations of your own two feet. You're no longer confined to the boundaries of your immediate neighborhood or the distance you can cover by walking. Suddenly, the entire world becomes accessible, or at least the parts that can be reached on two wheels. Every street, every park, every hidden corner becomes an adventure waiting to unfold.
