Oh dear! This one came at the wrong time. Why doctors, people with education and authority, should not be dealing out "advice" on Easter Egg consumption. One Easter Egg does not make an obesity epidemic any more than one salad makes you "healthy".

This one is a little trickier to pin down - most Chinese takeaways tend to be more independent, especially the ones in smaller towns, so no two places will have the same calories or macros. The best thing to do is make sensible choices based around proteins and vegetables, watch out for hidden fats and oils, anything "crispy" will probably be deep-fried, and if you're tracking, be sure to account...

What are your reasons for running?

At the end of this month, prices are going up! If you want to beat the price increase, sign up before the end of March. All clients keep the price they signed up with for as long as we work together. I don't believe in price hikes for existing clients. Loyalty is everything. Whatever price you start with me on, that's the price you'll always keep. For more information or to sign up for coaching, o...

Welcome to a non-judgemental zone on weightloss injectables. I can see where they're good. I can see the bad. As with most things in this industry, the truth lies somewhere in the grey zone. I am more than happy to help anyone who is already taking or thinking of taking Wegovy/Ozempic as part of their fat loss journey. Getting a support system in place in the form of a coach will help you to maint...

This one is a little trickier to pin down - most curry houses tend to be more independent, especially the ones in smaller towns, so no two places will have the same calories or macros.

A bit of a change from the usual FND, but some of you well-to-do folk will be eating out on the hoof at far nicer places than Macca D and KFC. So, what should you do if you're eating out at a nice restaurant and want to stay on or close to plan? I've used Cosy Club https://cosyclub.co.uk/ as an example of what to look out for when eating out in nicer restaurants. Instagram: @vipfitnesscoaching Web...

Sometimes you've just got to work with what you've got. I have been busy training all weekend and I forgot to record my podcast. But the last think I want to do is miss a day, so my options are record and edit this at nearly 11pm when I get home, or take advantage of a quiet train and get it recorded and uploaded and hope I don't seriously annoy the only two other people in the carriage. Of course...

Massive menu here so a slightly longer episode for a Friday Night Dinner. But the good news is there's a lot to choose from, even if you're vegetarian or plant based. And even better if you're there to preload for a night out and want to save some calories for booze (definitely not recommended, but I'd never dream of telling anyone what to do :) ) Hosted on Acast.
