Long time no pod! Here's to a very unsurprising but exciting re-brand, we are back!

If you're a female and you're struggling to stick to the ridiculously low calorie targets that My Fitness Pal has suggested for you in order to lose fat, this pod is for you!

@danprice_nutrition and I discuss:

- Why are we focusing on females specifically?
- Difference between fat loss and body recomposition
- Why is fat loss harder for petite women specifically?
- Why an 1500 calorie diet won't always result in fat loss
- The best place to start if we are looking to lose fat
- Can we just move more?
- Should we track our calories?
- Why Dan thinks too much importance has been placed on protein
- How important is nutrient quality?
- If looking to gain muscle and lose fat, where should we start?
- Why should weight loss be sustainable?
- Tips for snacking

My DMs are always open for any comments, questions or suggestions!!!

You’ve probably heard of all sorts of workout splits when scrolling through Instagram full of influencers and their arm days and ‘booty’ days etc. 

There are so many different ways to split your training across the week and in todays episode I explain the most common/well-known examples to you to help you make a better choice about which split will be most effective for you!

I discuss
- Training Frequency
- Full Body Training
- Push / Pull 
- Body Part Splits
- Movement-based Split
- Training Intensity
- Training Volume

As always - catch me on Instagram @jazlifts

Today I have a chat with my good friend Dan, aka @caffeineandcrossfit. 

Dan is amazing at ticking all of the proverbial fitness boxes around his office based 9-5 in Accountancy. I ask him how he makes time for it all as well as about training for Hyrox and his views on alcohol.

Thanks for listening!

This week I am joined by my good friend Ilina @fitwithilina. We reflect on (and laugh about) how our attitudes and training goals have evolved over the years we have been in the gym and what we have learnt from having aesthetic goals.

We also discuss body image, the recent NY Times article re. body trends and why we don't push clients towards having a certain goal. 

My DMs are always open on Instagram for any questions, comments or enquiries! :)

If you're unsure how to best fuel and recover from your workouts, this is for you!
