Why do haters hate?

"Tuna salad again?! Don't you get bored? I'll never understand you fitness freaks, just eat some cake"

Damn. I thought. I'm just eating my lunch.

^^ this is an all too familiar scenario when you're dieting

People feel an innate NEED to comment on your life

Especially when you're trying to eat clean

Suddenly you become a fitness FREAK!

for some reason, people can freely comment about what you eat, how you train or how 'realistic' your goals are.

WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

PEOPLE HATE BECAUSE YOUR POSITIVE ACTION HIGHLIGHTS A DEFICIENCY IN THEIR LIFE

PEOPLE HATE YOUR SUCCESS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRIED AND FAILED

HATE AND CRITICISM TURNS INTO ADMIRATION (THEY WILL ASK YOU FOR HELP SOON!)

EVERY GREAT CHANGE IN THE WORLD HAS FIRST RECEIVED NEGATIVITY (for example, Martin Luther King Jr and the Black Civil Rights Movement)

Get Your Focus Back

So last Sunday I had a very strange feeling...

I felt sad

Honestly I don't really know why

Years ago I used to work in a bank

I hated it

And every Sunday I'd get that 'back to work ' feeling

Which, let's face it, is basically sadness.

But right now I love what I do

yet I had that same 'sunday sadness' feeling

So I wasn't sure why I felt sad and de-motivated.

there was no reason to be sad!

...then it HIT me like a ton of bricks...

Why Some People NEVER Lose Weight

90% of people fail on a summer body transformation when they go it alone
Of those 10% who are deemed successful

Guess what?

I'd say only 1% actually get what I call...

...wait for it...

'THE Important TWO'

(OK, that name needs some work but stay with me)

What are the 'important TWO' I hear you ask?

Let me tell you my lovely friend...

Want a Simple Guide to Calories?

Most people fail to understand calories, choosing to starve themselves in the classic "fad diet cycle"...

....drop calories, burn muscle mass, crave junk food, binge out, store fat, then wonder why they look worse year after year.

Calories are key when it comes to losing fat or building muscle, yet most people get confused and make mistakes.

I think the confusion arises because we expect what we eat to have a direct effect on how we look.

Eat less, lose fat, right?

It's Monday, has the diet started?

If not, don't worry - you're normal

Only 0.000001% of the population is out there instagramming their prepped meals

Most of us just can't do that

Here's why:

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

WIN weekend dieting....

Sticking to your plan on the weekends can be TOUGH

Many people quit

But it can be super simple!

Let me tell you a quick story

A few months ago I was running a nutrition seminar at RSG.

'twas a Sunday morning, all was calm and well

I ran my clients through basic eating, how to focus on calories and be disciplined.

Towards the end of the seminar….

Xmas Fitness Survival Guide

Most of the people around you will totally shut down for Christmas

Actually, they are probably on the mince pies already and counting down the days until they're off work

Then they'll go all 'Warrior Monk' on Jan 1st: no beer, no carbs, no mercy!!

...and they'll last about 10 days before going back to their old ways

Most people make getting in shape HARDER than it needs to be

Believe me, I've dieted through xmas before and there's nothing worse than being the boring person eating turkey and veggies ONLY and sipping on water.

My family thought I was an arsehole. And I was really grumpy!

Much better to plan a bit of fun AND achieve your goals.

So how could we all eat a little better around Christmas?

The RULES of getting leaner

Do you ever feel like you aren't getting leaner or stronger?

This can be really frustrating when you're sticking to your diet AND going to the gym too!

why do some people get good results from eating well and training hard, yet others flat out fail?

THE MIND TENDS TO SHOW YOU NEGATIVE THINGS FIRST

I guess this is a survival mechanism in the brain, the 'chimp brain' - which is always looking for danger. Emotional or physical.

Over millennia, rather than deluding ourselves with positivity, negativity kept us safe.

"should we go into that dark cave? It looks scary. It might have a bear inside"

Problem is, how your chimp brain 'feels' your results are going is NOT a good way of gauging progress on a fitness plan.

Here's an example…

Eat on the go and stay healthy - SUMMARY

MAN IS NOTHING ELSE BUT WHAT HE MAKES OF HIMSELF - Jean Paul Satre

The way you look and feel is a side effect of how you live your life.

For many people, it's easy to review whether you need to change directions in life or not.

Simply look in the mirror and ask, “am I happy with the way my body looks?”

Or, “am I living as my best self?”

This will give easy (if quite painful!) indicators of whether or not a new life strategy is needed.

It’s not enough to simply try to “eat better” or “stop eating crap”

You’ve tried that and it didn’t work!

In my experience, when somebody improves all areas of their life, it’s much easier to eat right, train hard, sleep well and feel great.

Eat on the go and stay healthy: PART TWO

wake-work-sleep-wake-work-sleep

We all get stuck in a rut.

In fact, I believe the way we live our lives is broken.

People in the UK spend less than 2 hours of their day outside

The average british citizen will spend 47 years working, probably in a job they hate

The fitness media does a terrible job of separating facts from fiction.

And so try as we do, after doing a diet 95% of us will regain the fat lost within 3 yrs.

Back to 'stuck in a rut' mode

wake-work-sleep-wake-work-sleep

I did this once.
