Over the summer due to time being restricted for those of us with kids, I'm doing a mini bitesize series on habits that you can implement to make healthy eating easier, reduce decision fatigue, and generally give you a good foundation to easy, healthy living without using too much brain power.

On this week's episode, post holiday weigh-ins! It can be so tempting to jump straight on the scales, if you're someone who weighs themselves, to see what the "damage" is from your holiday (it's not damage - it's having a good time, unless you fell off a jetski, twisted your ankle walking drunkenly back from the strip, or had a really dodgy local speciality and spent half the week on the loo). Listen in to find out why waiting a week is much better!

Apologies, but being away and the Wifi being rather intermittent, this week it's a (late) repeat episode - Sleep! As part of the bitesize series, Sleep is one of those often overlooked areas that can make all the difference to how easy or hard you find losing fat (spoiler alert: not getting enough sleep can lead to overeating an average of 500kcals a day extra!) So, if you've not heard it before, here's the info on sleep and how bit affects your fat-loss journey, and if you have listened to this one before, here's a refresh!

When I recorded this episode, I thought I had done one previously and was just adding a bit more information. But apparently not! I was sleep deprived when I started this podcast, so that could explain a lot...

Listen to find out why sleep can help or hinder you if you're looking to lose body fat, how it affects your hormones and how in turn these affect your appetite. At the end are some hints and tips on how to get a good night's sleep.

On this week's episode, it's all about sandwiches! With time being at an absolute premium over the summer, you need something simple, nourishing and that the kids can eat along with you, something that can be made in advance, or can be picked up on the go.

In this episode I also mention @scaseyfitness who did a 30-day sandwich challenge and actually lost weight eating all that bread!

And as always with these things, every person and every situation is different, so what works for some may not work for others.

On this week's episode, it's all about breakfasts! Over the following week I'll share some of my best suggestions for simple, nourishing breakfasts, and all you have to do is pick one or two to remove a decision from your day and start the day right.

And as always with these things, every person and every situation is different, so what works for some may not work for others.

Is it feasible to think you can train for a marathon, while losing fat and still hit the gym 3/4 times a week for those muscle gains? The key here is to focus on the main goal. If running is just a bit of fun, a way to incorporate a bit of cardio without worrying about PBs, then by all means run alongside trying to lose fat. But if you have some big dreams about race PBs, long distances and getting faster, then you might want to reconsider how important your fat loss goal is in the grand scheme.

And as always with these things, every person and every situation is different, so what works for some may not work for others.

If you struggle on a large calorie deficit, if you find it too restrictive and you have no wiggle room for socialising, family life, or you just want to enjoy your fat-loss journey, have you considered taking the slower, scenic route? Does it really matter if it takes you 20 weeks rather than 10 weeks to lose 10lbs of fat? Ultimately, you've lost the same amount, but you've had a better time getting there. And as a bonus point, you're much less likely to lose muscle mass if you go slower, which ultimately, if you want to age well and be a sprightly older person, saving as much as your muscle as possible is key!

Sometimes doing the hard thing in the moment is doing the kind thing for future you. And sometimes doing the kind thing in the moment is actually hobbling future you. In this episode I talk about how sometimes we need to be "hard" or "strict" with ourselves in the moment, because ultimately, you want the best for future you.

In this episode I break down why splitting your daily calorie allowance into 4 meals rather than 3 can help you with your fat-loss goal. The last thing you want to do is not see your friends and family, but if you do have a fat-loss goal, it can be tricky balancing being sociable, especially last minute, with staying on track to meet your fat-loss goals.

Goals that are too easier, goals that are too hard, goals that will take too long, goals that you don't give enough time for... There's many reasons why we struggle to hit our goals and why sometimes even when we do hit them, we don't feel the sense of achievement that we thought we would. Have a listen to find out more about setting and achieving realistic, tangible goals.

Motivation is great... when you have it. But what about when motivation wanes, what keeps you moving towards your goals when the motivation just isn't there. And it will happen. Everyone experiences times of little to no motivation.
