Study Shows Best Way to Eat And Exercise For Weight Loss

There’s so much contraversy about the best way to eat and exercise to lose weight. Truth is I think if you follow some kind of plan you’re probably going to get better results than if you just wing it every time you eat and exercise. But if you’re going to try and lose weight why not go with a tried and tested method?

Don’t Get Stuck In A Rut Like This Guy

I used to see this guy, probably late thirties, on my way into work pretty much every morning. 08:00 on the dot, I could’ve set my watch by him! He’d be by the same lamp post at the same time every single day. Initially Mr late thirties probably lost a few pounds. Maybe because he went from doing nothing at all to doing this run five days per week. But it didn’t last…

What to Choose When You’re Eating Out On A Calorie Budget

A couple of days ago a clients asked about what to choose to still lose weight while eating out 2-3 days per week. While his diets pretty good (he’s lost over 30lbs to date!) there were a few pointers to help him take his diet to the next level.

Carbs… Which to Eat, Which to Avoid

Some love them (dieticians, throw your hands up), some hate them (Atkins, throw your hands up). The topic of carbohydrates has split the nutrition experts down the middle. So what exactly are carbs?

You Can Get Bettter Results In Less Time

Running short on time? I know when you’ve got a busy schedule it’s a little too tempting to give the gym a miss. So I want to give you a way to train that gives the biggest return in the shortest time. That way there are no excuses ;-)

Does Drinking Alcohol Really Make You Fat?

It just wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t bring up good old alcohol and its effects on weight loss. So the million dollar question; Does drinking alcohol really make you fat?

Although alcohol is high in the calorie department (7 calories per gram), less than five percent of the calories you drink are actually turned to fat. So the idea that you gain weight from drinking too much because the excess calories get turned to fat isn’t true… Well, sort of.

Ever Tried Eating More to Weigh Less?

Just about everything we read about diet and nutrition recommends we eat less. Eat less junk food, eat fewer biscuits, eat less chocolate, eat less… well you get the point. What would you think if I said you need to eat more to weigh less? I often get stares of disappointment when I mention that people don’t eat enough. But seriously, If you’ve got weight to lose it’s because you’re not eating enough.
