Is being Hangry really a thing or is it made up by people who are on diets and can’t eat the foods that they like?
Recently a european team of researchers looked into the ‘Hangry’ phenomenon and found a few interesting things.
Firstly ‘hangry’ does exist as most of the subjects reported some feeling of emotional stress following calorie restriction.
The researchers also asked the respondents why they ate the foods they did.
Remember these people weren’t given a diet just asked to restrict themselves.
The top reasons for foods they ate were
This is interesting as most people who fail at dieting generally stop eating a lot of foods they like and often are given diet plans with bland, boring food that they aren’t keen on.
This would not satisfy 3 of the reasons which hit the top 3 and may be a cause for why people cheat on their diet and get hangry even when they are increasing their veg and fibre to fill themselves up.
In this video you’ll learn how I work with clients to stop them getting hangry and the techniques we use to make sure they are eating foods they like and still successfully lose weight

No absolutely not and here’s why.
Many of the people I work with are selfless people.
They have a family and they prioritise their kids (and partner) over all else.
If they own their own business then that’s their next priority.
Both these are major elements in their lives and quite often they will neglect their gym training because a family or work issue comes up.
This may be due to poor time planning which is another issue, but it is common to see this.
I’ve seen it myself in my own life where my son and businesses can sometimes impede on my workouts.
Many just accept that ‘that’s how it is’ but that’s rubbish.
I own a gym and so I have no excuse at all and still I’ve said I haven’t had time to train in the past.
Many of the dads and business people I work with will allocate gym time to their ‘free time’ which means that it doesn’t go in their diary, they don’t plan it.
Therefore it’s easy for them to allow a meeting to run over or to forget to go due to family commitments.
However going to the gym and working out delivers so many benefits to you from a health perspective
This has many knock on effects into your business and personal life.
By not going to the gym you put all these positives off and you feel worse.
Work that through to the long term, if you are chronically ill from things you could have prevented by exercising regularly is that helping your family?
Could a few hours a week spent at the gym really be that damaging to your family short term?
Plus you LIKE going to the gym and exercising.
Denying yourself the things that you like only serves to make you more angry and frustrated in the future which might manifest itself into bad tempers at home or at work.
It’s ok to be selfish when that selfishness is providing a better life for others in the long term.
It’s absolutely ok when it’s prolonging your life and enjoyment of it.

To really answer this we need to look at one of the key issues with men (and women) when they train in the gym.
I always say that on the whole men need to lift a bit lighter and women need to lift a bit heavier.
Call that sexist but it’s a truthful observation.
When coaching women in person I’ve noticed that they’ve performed well on an exercise and are sometimes reluctant to increase.
When encouraged to do so they actually end up surprising themselves with the weight that they can safely lift.
Men on the other hand, possibly due to ego, are more than happy to push the weight but sometimes before they are truly ready to handle that weight.
What then happens is they have to use momentum and body movement to hitch the weight up which takes the emphasis off the body part they are trying to work.
This also can lead to an injury long term.
So how do you know if a weight is right for you and if you should progress?
In this video I cover how to determine the right weight for you and when to know you need to increase of decrease that weight to progress.

The post 66. How much weight should you lift in the gym to build muscle as a man or woman? appeared first on BUILD | Business Mentoring.
With no competition to aim for it can be tough for ex competitive bodybuilders to adjust to normal life.
I find that people I work with are still following the same rigid diet structure they had when they were competitive.
It’s almost like they’ve been to bodybuilding nutrition prison and are now institutionalised into that way of eating and training.
My job when I work with former competitive bodybuilders is to help them change into lifestyle nutrition which doesn’t have cheat days or fasted cardio and there’s no continual loop of restrict and binge.
In this video I’ll show you the techniques that I use with clients to help them set new goals and enjoy life with the fantastic body they’ve built over the years without the misery of contest dieting

The post 65. Nutrition and Training When You Retire from Competitive Bodybuilding appeared first on BUILD | Business Mentoring.
If you’ve been around anyone in fitness or who’s dieting for any length of time you’ll know that when people cut calories they tend to suffer a bit.
This, we are told is all part of the course.
While it’s true you’ll probably need to cut some calories at some point, it maybe shouldn’t be your first action.
Most people don’t move as much as they should and most people don’t train as hard as they think they do.
If this was addressed before dropping food then you’re being more productive with the food you’re already eating rather than dropping food THEN trying to do more.
In this video I’ll cover my methods that I use with clients to get them in great shape and sometimes it’ so effective that we actually need to increase food to drop more body fat.

If you’re a man or woman and you love lifting weights then a fat loss program won’t be best for you.Here’s why: Men and women who lift weights want to be more muscular, whether your definition of ‘muscular’ is ‘toned’ or jacked to fcuk then the method is the same.
Of course you need to be in a calorie deficit to lose body fat, that’s simple thermogenics and you’ll not be losing fat in a surplus.
Fat loss programs always focus on this deficit as the primary goal.Regardless of how they achieve it they want you to lose weight.
Weight is their marker of success.
In fact, if we had restricted further then they wouldn’t have been able to output as much in the gym and they would never have got the results they wanted.
People say that you can’t build muscle and burn fat in a deficit.They are dead wrong.
The only people this would apply to would be those in already really lean condition eg a competing bodybuilder or someone who is in a huge deficit so there is not energy to build muscle.
What I’ve proven repeatedly is that if you manage the deficit between 300-500 kcal deficit and keep matching that with more carbs and protein as the output increases you can raise food while still losing body fat.
This is why i don’t do ‘fat loss programs’ any more.
I focus on building a better body for my clients.
Fat loss comes as part of that process but it’s a nice addition to building more muscle.
