This is a question I get asked a lot. Some people like the idea of having everything they eat planned out for them. Other folks are more attracted to the idea of doing it themselves, to favour the foods they like best. But what everybody wants to know is, which system will get you the best results? In this episode, not only do I tell you which system is best for which kind of person, but I give you a fool-proof way of planning your own nutrition. Stay tuned. thesculptedvegan.com

It took her sister having a baby to make chef Trish Lewis realise she had to do something about her life-threatening obesity (over 370 pounds). She wanted to spend time with her new-born nephew and that wasn’t going to happen unless she took action. She lost 100 pounds in one year. Listening to her today, her crazy, infectious good humour and thirst for life shows how just far Trish has come from those dark days. Interviewing Trish was an inspirational experience for me, and I hope you find listening to her similarly inspiring. Prepare for tears and laughter. thesculptedvegan.com

What do training dogs, bringing up children, and diet fads all have in common? Proof that there are no shortcuts to long-term success. Over the years there’s been no shortage of fashionable diets - Keto, Paleo, Intermittent Fasting, FODMAP - they come, they go, they rarely work in the long-term. And yet we keep trying the latest ones. In today’s show, I reveal the good, the bad, and the WTF of diet fads, and give you 5 essential tips (ones that actually work) to replacing all of them. thesculptedvegan.com

I used to have really bad back pain. And training in the gym, especially squatting, didn’t help at all. But that’s because I was doing it wrong. Years of research and experimentation later, my back is so much better, as is my squatting technique. What’s the secret? It has something to do with imagining you’re sucking a smoothie through a straw using an intimate body part. Let me explain. On with the show. thesculptedvegan.com

Bear with me for a moment. “Cellulite” was invented by the fashion magazines and beauty product manufacturers in the 1960s. Before then it didn’t have a special name. So nowadays we’re all being misled into spending fortunes on magic creams that claim to “reduce its appearance” and never do. In this episode, I strip away all the lies, all the nonsense, and reveal what cellulite actually is, and what you can DO to attack it. thesculptedvegan.com

Butt, bum, arse, ass - whatever you call it, few parts of the body cause as much head-scratching and discussion as the rear end. Whether you like it big or small, we all aspire to having firm buttocks. My guest this week is known as The Glute Guy. Bret Contreras was teased at school for his diminutive butt, so he decided that the best revenge was to learn everything there was to know about glutes. After today’s show, you too will have a degree in buttology. thesculptedvegan.com

Let me start by saying that vegans can be the nastiest bunch of b******s you’ll ever meet - some of them. So why did I decide to join them? Raised in a meat-loving family, I even had to apologise to my dad whenever I invited a vegetarian to dinner. And yes, to this day I still miss the taste of cheese. So why did I change? Warning: the reason why I became a vegan is going to shock/surprise/annoy/disgust or delight you, but you’re sure to learn something. Listen on.

I’m getting asked this question a lot during lockdown. So in this week’s show I clear up some of the myths about how muscles grow, how long they stay toned, when they start to atrophy and what you can do about it. And how you DON'T even need anything as basic as a couple of dumbbells and an exercise band to maintain your muscles when the gyms are closed. Oh, and hear the secret of how my husband grew more muscle in two months than he had in the previous two years. Let’s go!
