Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
––Michael Jordan
​You decided to lose a bit of fat, you got your gym membership, and started going to a few fitness classes every week. You also cleaned up your diet, adding a bit more vegetables and cutting down on chocolate.
 
Two weeks later, you don’t see much of a change. And yet, you’re doing everything right! So what’s wrong?

When you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren’t the people who are motivated, but have consistency in their motivation.
––Arsene Wenger
​Working in a commercial gym, I have the opportunity to talk about fitness with individuals from all walks of life. When I ask how their training is going, the number one obstacle they bring up is the big bad M-word: motivation.
 
In fact, many of them hire a personal trainer just to have someone to push them to exercise and eat in a different way.
 
But what is motivation? And how can you manipulate it to succeed in your fitness journey?
 
In this article, I will examine different types of motivation and how to harness the most common one to achieve your fitness goals.

Diets, like clothes, should be tailored to you.
––Joan Rivers
In 2018, the ketogenic diet, colloquially known as “keto”, was the third most searched diet in the UK, according to Google Trends. In America, it was the fourth result, but, considering the first one was the TV show Shark Tank, I would say it still counts as a bronze medal among nutritional strategies.
 
In a similar vein to my previous post on the vegetarian diet, this article aims to offer a basic understanding of the ketogenic diet and to bust some myths, covering:
 
  • The history of the keto diet
  • What happens when you go keto
  • Misconceptions about the keto diet
