Alwyn Cosgrove posted the most fantastic thing the other day on Facebook, likening a roll of kitchen roll to fat loss. I thought it was fabulously visual and made the point that just because fat loss might seem slow at times, it’s the fact that you’ve stayed the course which means the results add up over time.

It goes like this:

Take two rolls of kitchen roll, each with 100 sheets. Keep one aside as your ‘before’ picture. Use the […]

Try putting these three simple ideas into place, and notice the changes you can make to your body with relatively little effort – or pain!

Make your goal to eat at least 1g protein per kg body weight, every day.

I’m not exactly sure how, but it seems like Christmas is nearly here!

In fact, it looks like it has arrived in quite a few places already – isn’t it lovely seeing all the decorations up earlier this year.

There are some things which one needs to take into consideration when trying to lose weight. They can be seen as pretty inconvenient and can make the road both harder and easier at the same time.

Action doesn’t happen because the stars have lined […]
