Andy and Amy coming in hot! 

Straight after watching the first episode of this series where Michael Molsely sets out to help five individuals lose weight, tackle obesity and bring them back to a place of health.

Plus a little bit of education around Keto, Very Low Calorie Diets and what the pitfalls are of these generic approaches.

In a particularly hot and sticky episode, we talk about the new government regulations that have been set out to tackle obesity. With every fitpro seemingly having their opinion on this right now, what are ours?

We talk about what we call the ‘low hanging fruit’ of the problem, the easy wins that the government could make, and will they EVER be seen to be doing enough to solve the problem?

We also question is it even their problem, or is there a higher level of personal responsibility that needs to be taken by us as individuals?

Episode 16 of the NAFP and we tackle some common Fitness and Nutrition Myths, or as we have coined this episode, the 'Bullshit Broadcast'.

We approach the topics of Fasted Cardio and fasted training in general, is it superior for fat loss? And while we’re on the topic of fat loss, should you be performing High Intensity Interval Training or Low Intensity Steady-state cardio to burn more calories?

Andy talks about an altercation with the Mother-In-Law regarding some Hula Hoops and Yogurt, and we also tackle whether consuming Carbs after 6pm will lead you towards obesity. 

Along with all of this, we have a quick chat about crunches and will they get you closer to that elusive 6-pack?

It’s another listener Q&A episode this week, with today’s questions being submitted from our encounter with a drunken Josh in the park, and from Bernie the Doctor.

We delve into, how should you calculate your calories? Is multiplying by a generic value a good place to start? 

The next question was asked directly to Amy, being how does she feel as a more athletic looking woman? Does she get perceived differently?

Our last question focuses on Motivation to train/exercise. How do we motivate others, particularly those that have no inclination but are maybe forced into a healthier lifestyle because of illness or avoidance of disease?

Andrew John Scraggs and Amy Ramshead (full names) are back again, this time talking about how to intervene when you spot over-exercising and extreme dieting behaviours in others.

-

Everyone has someone pop into their heads when this topic is mentioned, and we discuss what the key things are to look out for in yourself, and in others, when there’s a worry you might be overtraining or a little bit obsessed about your diet.

-

We also talk about how to approach the conversation with someone, and is it even any of your business?!

-

We share stories on how we’ve dealt with the same situation, in both a professional and personal capacity.

-

As always, thanks for the support, and keep the questions coming!!

In this episode, we answer avid listener Penny’s questions about the impact this way of coaching during Covid-19 has had on us as Coaches and Professionals.

-

We offer two completely different perspectives, as Andy is a well established coach with years of experience, whilst the current situation has given Amy the opportunity to begin her business and Coaching career.

-

We talk about different coaching methods, language, communication, and how our coaching practices have had to adapt.

-

Highlights include:

Huge thanks to Penny for all the questions, forcing us to ask questions of ourselves as coaches and reflect on our practices.

Please let us know if you have any questions you’d like us to answer in the future!

In this particularly emotive and rant-y episode we discuss the latest controversy around the 'Skinny Jab' - the most recent entry into the Weight Loss market. 

Promoting weight loss through an injection, costing on average around £350 per month, is this the best way to lose fat?

What are our thoughts on the product itself, how it’s marketed, and whether it can be effective? A very topical one where we (particularly Amy), struggle to leave emotions aside.

With the steps we’ve taken in recent years with regards to shoddy marketing and ethical weight loss, why are we companies like this still able to prey on vulnerable consumers?

As always, plenty of chat and laughs. Amy is still tired, Andy is still ‘miffed’.

Amy struggles to do Maths, and we learn how much effort Andy puts into researching these podcasts. 

Spoiler: 

Not Much.

Cheers mate.

Who knew two people could get so passionate about protein?!

In this episode, we discuss Protein. 

We aim to answer all the key questions with regards to the macronutrient that you constantly see on the shelves at the moment.

This episode also includes: Amy not being able to take her own advice, stumbling over her words and being very tired, and Andy feeling ‘miffed’ at the builders still being around.

Lots of banter and plenty of informed discussion, please give us a like, share, five star rating and review the podcast if it’s something you’ve enjoyed! We really appreciate all the questions, feedback and follows.
