No nudity or ET toes this week as we discuss Intermittent Fasting.   

We delve into the different methods you can use, the positives and negatives, and how you can implement it into your life.   

We learn that Amy thinks about food ALL of the time, and Andy really isn’t that fussed……!   

An informative episode if you’ve been wondering about if IF or some form of fasting protocol is for you, and whether it’s sustainable long term.   

If there’s dodgy editing it’s because Andy had a brain fart half way through a sentence. Blame his hay-fever!

In Episode 6 of the NAFP podcast, we delve into the positives and negatives of tracking your calories.

Do you need to do it? What benefits does it have, and what are the main drawbacks? 

In a world where we increasingly let our smartphones dictate what we eat more than we do our own intuition, should you be using a tracking app to get you to your nutrition related goals?

As always, there’s plenty of chat and banter from Amy and Andy.

Highlights include:

In this Episode, we tackle the topic of Body Acceptance, and we get DEEP.  

Whether you’re male or female and you’ve ever struggled with accepting the body you’re in, this is the episode for you.   

Maybe you’ve been leaner and can’t associate yourself with the body you have now, or maybe you’re just always craving a different body, thinking it will bring you happiness.  

Both of us get vulnerable, opening up about what we see in the mirror, how we talk to ourselves and why always chasing your ideal body won’t necessarily bring you the happiness you think.  

If you only tune into us for the laugh, there’s still plenty of those.  Highlights include picturing Amy naked and Andy’s ET toes…….but you’ll have to listen to hear all about those!

In this slightly shorter Q&A episode, we try to make some massive fitness topics a little more ‘bitesize’.  

Is there such a thing as too little calories? 

Are you really not losing weight because you aren’t eating ENOUGH. 

Then we move on to discuss the ‘Chicken vs The Egg’ of Fitness: what should come first, Nutrition or Training?  

As always, if you enjoyed this episode, rate, review and share it. We really do appreciate your thoughts and feedback.
