  • #146: Meal Timing & Fat Loss - Is there a link?

    One of the most common questions we Dietitian’s get asked, is whether or not it matters how many meals we eat per day. This naturally leads to the question of, “how many meals should I eat per day to achieve XYZ goal?” 

    In this episode, I dive into the very popular topic of meal timing and specifically, its link to fat loss nutrition - because meal timing is variable dependant and your goal dictates its importance. 

    The typical diet is 3 main meals with maybe some snacks are thrown in across the day - generally with a fairly typical meal timing regimen. However, for the longest time, there has been alot of talk about ideal meal timing and the impacts on our health as well as our fat loss efforts.

    Does the time you eat your meal have varying effects on you?

    Should you eat after 6pm?

    Is there any reason to worry about meal timing for improving our body composition? 
    Or is it just another attention-seeking tactic with no merit?

    In today’s podcast, I will cover:

    • Meal timing explained (the in’s and out’s)
    • What has been said about meal timing in relation to fat loss (exploring the claims)
    • Is meal timing important for fat loss success? (the blunt lowdown you NEED to know)

    Hope you enjoy!

  • #145: Fat Loss Spot Reduction - can you do it?

    Many people wonder if they could achieve fat loss by spot reducing in specific areas of the body first. It is safe to say that targeting fat loss is a common desire among most dieters trying to lose weight - I have seen it first-hand as a Dietitian. 

    In this episode, I explore spot reduction as a fat loss strategy. Is it real? Is it safe? Is it effective? So many questions to be answered that could all be addressed by understanding the truth behind this highly touted health and fitness goal. 

    Fat loss is probably the single most sought-after change for people who decide to start improving their eating and optimise their nutrition plans. Whether you are an athlete competing at a high level or training more recreationally, you have likely thought about your leanness at one point.

    In today’s podcast, I will cover:

    • Fat Loss 101 - the fundamental strategy you need first
    • What is spot reduction?
    • Can you spot reduce body fat? (the blunt truth revealed)

  • #144: 3 Things About Fat Loss You Need To Know (But probably don’t)

    Fat loss is such a dynamic journey that requires the right mindset, strategy, and dedication to achieve. 

    In this episode, I look past the fundamentals and the common knowledge around fat loss and explore the more “niche” things you should know to improve your fat loss results. I am going to share with you 3 things you need to know about fat loss that you don’t already. 

    In the nutrition space, the one type of goal that is always talked about and therefore attracts the most information and B.S. is fat loss and weight loss.

    Understanding the basics of how to lose weight is one thing. However, knowing about the more advanced pieces of the puzzle and looking at the bigger picture is what’s key for true success and long-term change.

    So are you trying to lose bodyfat? 

    In today’s podcast, I will cover:

    • The fundamentals of fat loss REVISED

  • #143: Ideal Macro % Splits: Do they exist?

    Is there such as thing as the “ideal macro splits” for fat loss and muscle building?

    In this episode, I address a very common question I get as a Sports Dietitian regarding macronutrients and dietary strategy. There is this belief that there are specific macro percentage splits that are universally optimised for fat loss and/or muscle gains.

    How true is this? Is this all B.S? 

    With the growing interest over the years in flexible dieting and tracking your macros, many dieters search for the perfect macro split they think will level up their progress and achieve their health and fitness goals. 

    Your nutrition is a key fundamental pillar of achieving body composition change so it’s important that you understand how nutrition works and how to harness it properly. 

    That is why we need to deep dive into macros and look at whether or not there are ‘ideal macro splits’ or if this is all misinformation. 

    In today’s podcast, I will cover:

    • What are macros? (the basics explained)
    • Macro splits explained
    • Is there such a thing as Ideal Macro Splits? (the definitive answer)

    Listen to the full episode to learn more about real nutrition and the experiences of a Sports Dietitian.

  • Episode #140: Fat Burn vs. Fat Loss - What’s The Difference?

    Did you know that fat burning is not actually the same as fat loss?

    In this episode, I break down the very often overlooked truth around fat burn as a mechanism and fat loss as a result. The reality is most people see these are interchangeable concepts which then leads to nutrition decisions that are wrong or subpar.

    Fat loss is one of the most common health and fitness goals out there. Yet it's one that so many people approach incorrectly. It is also the one with a lot of misconceptions and incorrect advice associated with it. 

    This is why I like to say: fat loss is simple, but it ain’t easy!

    One way that people get stuck in believing that fat burning = fat loss. This is not necessarily true. In fact, you can burn fat every day and still not lose weight. 

    In today’s podcast, I will cover:

    • What is fat burning really?
    • What is fat loss truly?
    • The difference between fat burn and fat loss (the truth)
    • So what should you do? (practical guidance to help you out)

    Listen to the full episode to learn more about real nutrition and the experiences of a Sports Dietitian.

  • Episode #139: 7 Signs Of Poor Nutrition - What Athletes Should Look Out For

    What are the key signs of poor nutrition among athletes?
    This is an important question to know the answer to so that you know when to seek help with your nutrition game.

    In this episode, I share the key signs and symptoms of poor nutrition practices and inadequate fueling.  Using this knowledge, I hope it enables you to assess your own situation and then seek professional guidance to fix it. 

    Nutrition is a key factor in the success an athlete has - whether you are competitive level or a gym-goer looking to become their strongest and fittest. However, often the importance of real nutrition is overlooked. 

    Even fewer athletes are actually good at identifying the signs that nutrition is lacking and needs optimising. That is why I wanted to cover this topic today. 

    In today’s podcast, I will cover:

    • The 7 key signs of poor nutrition (including ones you didnt know!)
    • Why nutrition is key for athlete success

    Listen to the full episode to learn more about real nutrition and the experiences of a Sports Dietitian.

  • Episode #138: 10 Things I Wish I Knew When I First Started My Nutrition & Fitness Journey (Confessions Of A Sports Dietitian)

    In this episode, I share my confessions on what I personally wish I knew when I first got started with the knowledge and experience I have now from working with countless individuals and helping myself to level up my nutrition & performance.

    One of the biggest values of having a Sports Dietitian in your corner is the experience they can impart to you. This can help you avoid the same mistakes they made (or helped others through) as well as knowing what truly works and what is most important when working towards getting some bonafide results.

    This enables you to streamline your progress while reducing confusion and overwhelm that we all know can easily arise with “dieting”. 

    I too have struggled and gone through the peaks and valleys of health and fitness change so I can now help you gain some better perspective and achieve insight into the real world of nutrition. 

    In today’s podcast, I will cover:

    • The 10 Things I Wish I Knew When I First Started My Journey (So you can learn from my experiences, successes, and mistakes)
