An unusual podcast !

Turning 50 and my thoughts on this and a little bit of healthy reflection

All things health and fitness and if you are in your 20's or 30's then now is the time act for future self.

Touched on Menopause & Diet !

Also a full discussion on why we need Protein and why the emphasis is put so heavily on protein.

So most definitely a little bit of this and a little bit of that !

Thanks for listening

In this episode I talk all about the one thing we actually don't have a problem with and that is dieting for fat loss & health. We actually all know what we need to do and how to do it.

We do HAVE a problem with behaviours, habits and mindset

We do HAVE a problem with our relationship to food and how we utilize food for comfort

We do HAVE a problem with over absorption of information and mixed messaging

Listen to my thoughts on all of this. As always I am just planting seeds in your mind. Sometime these seeds may flourish enough for you to take action to a happier healthier you.

This episode is all about the challenges we face in life on a fat loss journey. Things like holidays, weekends away, Irish society and the force feeders, food environment, breaking habits, poor sleep & small kids etc.

There is a quite a lot in this one and I hope you will find it helpful.

Thank you for listening

Everything we do in life is a choice. Own the reality of the choices we make. Expectations vs Reality !!! Bank holiday weekends incoming.... what actions are you going to take - YOLO approach OR Mindful of the goals you have set.

Bit of a spade a spade podcast today. Shooting some realities and truths about fat loss. It certainly isn't all bells and whistles and exciting times. It is at times a trek and it is at times hard. Sometimes you have to dig deep and embrace the hard. Sometimes you have to really look at change in order for you too see changes.

Choose your hard .... be in the same place this time 12 months or do the hard work (because it isn't easy) now to create a sustainable lifestyle.

Give it a listen!! Might just be the podcast you needed to hear and the reality check that sometimes we all need.

This episode is all about moving stones !!. It is a visualisation analogy that will hopefully help you understand the inner work & priority work that needs to be done prior to fat loss .

You have to move the big stones first in order to get to the littler stones. The big stones being :

Your relationship to food

Negative Body Image

Sleep Hygiene

Emotional Eating

Adherence & Consistency

Narratives you use

etc

Have a listen and I hope it resonates with you and helps. Sometimes you need to step back to step forward.

Maybe possibly thinking of throwing in the towel in utter frustration ? Then this podcast is for YOU.

Radical Responsibility could be needed here. Taking ownership. ⁣⁣A little bit of honesty with yourself maybe  

⁣Calorie leaks a possibility? ⁣⁣A few things you could be doing unbeknownst to yourself ⁣are all covered in this podcast.

Knowledge & Awareness the first step -

Fat loss has many layers. It is not as simple as just eat less / move more. Listen to this episode to find out why it is not so simple and why in fact it can be hard. But also I explain HOW you can work on the inner layers to achieve your desired outcome - sustainable healthy happy lifestyle feeling confident in your skin with an improved relationship to food & lifestyle

Short and sweet bonus Episode today discussing coping mechanisms outside of food & alcohol for the days that you're tired, overwhelmed, stressed etc. Reaching for the share bar of chocolate or the bottle of wine generally being the solution people turn too. Hopefully in this episode I will help you understand your actions and what other mechanisms you can use to cope with these days in life.
