In this episode Murdo and I talk you through our experience of weight loss over the a 12 week period, where we both dropped just over 5kg, 

We talk about:

- Our results

- The challenges we had through this time

- How we approached our nutrition and why we both took slightly different approaches

- Why Murdo used an initial 'fast' phase and I didn't

Expect a whole bunch of honesty!

In this episode we discuss a question asked by one of our client's,

We chat about:

- Setting realistic expectations on how 'fast' we can expect to lose weight!

- Why having an absolutely s**** day can impact body image and your perception of progress!

- Why using the scales requires a little bit of understanding beyond down is good, up is bad!

We chat about one of the most common and pervading myths,

That weight training makes you bulky,

It would be easy to think so given how absolutely huge Murdo and Cameron are... If you have the wrong prescription for your glasses.

We discuss why getting bulky for most people is like hopping in your Fiesta and worrying that you'll end up being the next Lewis Hamilton,

Why lifting heavy and getting strong is ESSENTIAL for anyone looking to get into better shape! 

In this episode we discuss:

How cutting out food groups impacts our relationship with food

Why we see so many clients come to use after trying and failing with this approach! 

Calorie tracking is an incredible useful tool that we use with some of our clients,

Often thought, it's seen as the ONLY tool to lose weight, 

In this episode we talk about:

- Pro's and con's of tracking and non tracking approaches

- Methods we use as alternatives to calorie tracking

- How the basics of your diet shouldn't change whether you are or aren't tracking!

Introducing Cameron, 

A man who's likes to dress up in lycra on the weekends, sometimes referred to as a "cyclist" and likes gin, probably a little too much!
