November 02, 2020 #28 - Fitness and Nutrition in the Second Lockdown
We jumped into this podcast just after the announcement from Boris that we will be going into lockdown again on 5th November. We chat about how we're going to set our own lives up to make sure we stay fit and healthy, along with where our priorities are.
What lessons are we taking into this lockdown off the back of the last one, and what are some things you can focus on to set yourselves up for success with your diet and your training?
-
Highlights of this episode include Amy's intense Hangover as she rambles through a Sunday morning recording, Andy and Amy both getting completely blinded by the Sun at one point, and some awful echo feedback from the sound recording! Apologies in advance if there are any sound issues.

Enjoy!

October 26, 2020 #27 - "I'm only eating 1200kcal...but I'm not losing weight!"
It's that common old phrase we hear constantly in the gym or in consultations...."I'm eating 1200 calories and I'm STILL not losing weight!". AKA "I don't think I'm eating enough to lose weight?!"
In this episode, Amy and Andy dive into the common pitfalls you might be subject to when trying to diet, and why you're not losing weight even though you assume you're in a calorie deficit.
As always, we go off on a bit of a tangent about Education, Schools, and how to make the general public more informed with regards to calories and healthy patterns of eating.
If you do have a weight loss goal and this is something that you've heard or thought before, then this is the episode for you! It might be time to reassess your own eating habits to keep you on track, particularly at those pesky weekends......!
If you enjoyed this episode, please share it via your socials, and if you're listening via Apple Podcasts, please give us a 5* rating and write a little review.
It really does help get the podcast seen by more people.

October 19, 2020 #26 - 'Lose a stone in 21 days' TV programme - Part II - and a story about a Love Swing!
It's Part 2 of our dive into the Channel 4 Programme with Dr. Michael Molsely, where he takes five people on a journey to lose weight and bring them back to a place of health by placing them on a diet of only 800kcals a day. I don't think it will be any spoiler to reveal that all of them successfully lost weight, but how did Andy and Amy feel about Episodes 2 and 3 of the programme? Ultimately, we both ended up a bit confused! With a healthy dose of banter and laughs as always, including an extremely funny story about a Love Swing.....here's Episode 26 for you! Enjoy!-------The book Amy references in the show can be found here - - - - - - > https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/074995924X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kVeJFbPNMWC77

September 28, 2020#23 - Andy falls off the 'diet wagon'!
In this episode we discuss how I (Andy) have adapted to life post-lockdown in terms of:
Resistance Training

Cardio

Activity level

Tracking calories

Weight loss

Spoiler alert: I found the reintroduction of resistance training considerably more rewarding than the reintroduction of MyFitnessPal!

September 14, 2020 #21 - Handling Social Peer Pressure
Why does it feel like as soon as you make the decision to invest in building a healthier lifestyle, people are out to sabotage you!? In this Episode, we talk about social situations and how to handle peer pressure from family and friends. This is definitely the pod for you if you've ever felt like you need to justify your decisions in social situations, whether it be refusing that glass of wine, or not ordering dessert.
Andy and I discuss the tactics we've used with our own friends and family, as well as how to recognise when you might actually be going slightly too far. Social situations will always happen, so how do you choose which ones to relax and enjoy, and which ones will lead your further away from your goals.
Many thanks for this listener question! We loved getting into this topic, and we hope you enjoy this episode and take something away from it if this is something you have struggled with on your own journey.
