Everything You Need To Give Fasting A Try

23.07.2018

Seeing as it is hot and most of us are experiencing a reduced appetite, I thought it a good time to write about fasting. Perhaps this heatwave could provide a good time to give it a try, given most of us are halfway there already!

Fasting has recieved plenty of positive press over the last few years, with a big chunk of mainstream awareness being brought with the 5:2 diet.

Fasting is great for purely cutting out the calories from a meal or two – and hence reducing your intake for the day – and the benefits include reduced body weight […]

Last week, we saw how using a menu plan can help you to eat well around a busy life, and I promised this week we would explore ways to add exercise into a busy life.

Now, when you’re rushed off your feet and stressed, I don’t think adding in a tough workout is the right thing to do.

This isn’t to say that strength training isn’t going to give you benefits, because I think it is important for almost everyone to fit strength training into their lives.

High stress levels need to be countered with plenty […]

Fitting in eating well and exercising around a busy lifestyle can be difficult. If you don’t feel you have time to touch the ground, let alone think about what to eat, it can feel like an impossible task to make the right choices.

I see it a little differently and I’m going to explain in two parts. Today, about the food, and next week about exercise.

I think we can look at being busy and not having time to think about food as a potential positive. If you’re sitting at home all day and just trying not […]

Well, I must admit it was rather nerve wracking watching to see how many of you would vote for me with your clicks last week! Thank you for sticking around; I’m glad to hear you enjoy the things I send to you.

If there is anything you would like to read about, please do let me know; I am always open to suggestions.

The question of today is ‘would I be healthier if I stopped drinking’?

Boozy drinks seem to show up a fair bit during our week – a glass of wine to mark the end of the day […]

Have You Ruined Your Metabolism?

Is it possible to actually slow down your metabolism by long-term dieting?

Can you make your body burn less calories?

Is starvation mode something which really happens?

Lets answer the starvation mode question straight away – no. It does not really happen. Your body does not get fatter because you are eating too little. Good. Let’s move on.

As for whether you can truly ruin your metabolism and make your body burn less calories, the answer is also no, you cannot truly ruin your metabolism. But, you can make it slower (or just appear slower) – and you can make […]

Is Coaching Better Than Going It Alone?

When you’re trying to get in shape, you have a few options.

You can go it alone.

You can get advice about what to do.

Or you can get advice about what to do AND be coached through it.

Which works best?

This week, a study was released which shows the benefit of working with a coach or trainer.

They took 52 firefighters and assigned them to one of three groups – a group which recieved exercise programming and combined it with coaching on how to do it properly; a group which received only the programming; and a control group […]

Is The Sugar Tax Going To Affect Your Waistline?

So this week saw the Sugar Tax come into effect.

Soft drinks manufacturers have to pay 18p per litre if their drinks contain more than 5g sugar per 100ml, and 24p per litre if the drink contains more than 8g sugar per 100ml.

The result of course is that companies making said drinks are reducing the sugar in their recipes, in order to avoid the tax. I’m all for this, of course its a positive thing.

I don’t think anyone can argue against the fact that we need to be eating less sugar. And I’m not anti […]

What If Meal Timing Was The Solution To Weight Loss?

Isn’t it fascinating that our bodies stick to a pretty similar rhythm every day?

The same part of our body repairs itself at the same time every day. Our bodies are in a constant cycle of repair.

Its called circadian rhythm.

It dictates when we’ll feel tired at night and what time we’ll wake up in the morning.

What if tweaking your diet and lifestyle in line with your circadian rhythm, you could make it easier to stay in shape? What if without changing the types of food you’re eating, just the times you eat them […]
