Shedding pounds does change your personality. It changes your philosophy of life because you recognize that you are capable of using your mind to change your body. It’s very simple…
Stop going out at the weekend. Thank you for reading. … Just joking! I have many clients who enjoy being social at the weekend, so I’m going to share six of the strategies I’ve found most effective to stay on top of your fat loss diet without missing out on these occasions.

Diets, like clothes, should be tailored to you. Between holidays, BBQs, and parties, calorie-tracking in the summer sometimes is about as practical as eating pizza with a spoon. For this reason and for all my clients who want to transition away from tracking calories and macros, I’ve developed two effective alternatives to help you achieve your nutrition goals without MyFitnessPal:
If you’re totally sedentary and eat 2,500 calories a day, don’t instantly go to 1,200 calories and hours of aerobics––your weight loss will be sudden and violent, but also fleeting. How likely is it that you’ll lose muscle during a fat loss diet?
According to some people in the more fear-mongering corners of the internet, it’s pretty much inevitable. In fact, as soon as your workout performance drops by a couple of reps… Gasp! You’re losing muscle. For this reason, some will even say you shouldn’t go into a deficit at all if you hope to gain muscle, even when you carry excess body fat. I disagree with these extreme positions. So let’s delve into what the research seems to show and my six practical tips to give yourself the greatest chances of minimising muscle loss and maximising growth. [Weight loss] changes your philosophy of life because you recognize that you are capable of using your mind to change your body. We all have certain body parts that never seem to get quite as lean as the rest, no matter how hard we diet: our so-called “stubborn fat areas”.
Why does this happen? How can you get rid of this stubborn fat? Is it even possible? In order to get to the bottom of your stubborn fat problem, first you need to understand what determines where you store fat, or adipose tissue, and how fast you can lose it. Exercise to stimulate, not to annihilate. The world wasn’t formed in a day, and neither were we. Set small goals and build upon them. The start of the year is an exciting time for fitness.
You may be super motivated right now, which is fantastic. There’s no better mental place to get started! But are your habits up to the task? Fat loss and muscle gain are often oversimplified as a matter of calories, protein, and resistance training. While these are fundamental components of the physique development process, fat loss and muscle-building phases require a lot more if you want to get the best results possible. That’s why, when I take on a new client, I don’t plunge them into a deficit or a surplus on Day 1. This approach could do them more harm than good if they didn’t have certain key habits in place, which I help them develop over the initial weeks of coaching. Some of these habits are always a priority, whereas others are more important in a deficit and less so in a surplus, or vice versa. Let’s start with the habits that are always a priority, no matter the phase. |
