#71. Should you worry about eating after 7pm?

Although this seems like such a trivial topic, it’s amazing how many people aren’t using the scales in a way that is going to provide them with helpful information.

Tune in to find out exactly what time of day you should be jumping on the scales, as well as how frequently you should be tracking our weight in order to determine progress.

Side note: if you are someone who finds seeing your weight and jumping on the scales triggering, I’d suggest not listening to this episode. You certainly don’t need to know or track your weight in order to change your body composition. The scales are only one single measure of progress, and I work with many women who choose not to weigh themselves at all - which I whole-heartedly support. In this case, we also have plenty of other metrics we can use to monitor progress.

Building muscle is tough, like, really tough!

Most of us don’t build muscle by mistake, and I don’t think anyone is at risk of going to the gym for a few weeks and suddenly waking up with too much muscle (I wish!).

I see so many people spinning their wheels when it comes to building muscle, so this episode covers the 5 most common mistakes I see people making, and what to do instead.

You’ve just eaten a burger, and some chips…and a few slices of pizza…and washed it down with some ice-cream and now you’re regretting the whole situation and feeling pretty damn uncomfortable.

So in this episode, I’m going to show you how I would troubleshoot this situation with a client of mine if someone reached out to me and said that they had massively over-eaten - because you’re a human, you have taste buds, and this is something that happens to all of us at some point ;)

*If over-eating is occurring for you on a regular basis, please consider reaching out to your GP or a support person talk to. Butterfly Foundation Helpline: 1800 334 673.

I hope you find it helpful!

In this week’s episode I’m excited to have friend, personal trainer, photographer and business owner Jenny Chan back behind the mic.

Jen has completed the 75 HARD Program (by entrepreneur Andy Frisella) not once, but twice, and although it’s often perceived as a fitness or weightloss challenge, what we find out is that it’s far more about mindset, mental resilience and forging a level of self-belief that carries over into all aspects of your life.

Keen to give it a go? Have a listen to this episode to find out if 75 Hard is for you.

You can reach out to Jen via her Instagram @live_well_by_jc or drop in for a Muay Thai Class at the brand new Empire Muay Thai @empire.muaythai.

In this episode I take you through a practical skill that I genuinely believe is the most important skill you can possibly learn if you want to be successful in improving your health, your fitness or your relationship with food.

In  both my personal experience, as well as my experience as a coach, having the ability to build this one skill is the most important deciding factor between whether someone is going to be successful with their goals or not.

Yes, the title sounds like click-bait (which I've done deliberately) as I want you to listen to this episode. Then it's on you to start practicing this skill ;)

The 2 biggest barriers I see to people not eating breakfast is that they either aren’t hungry in the morning, or they’re rushing around so much they just don’t have time.

So in this episode I show you how I would troubleshoot these situations with clients I work with - I look at when you should eat breakfast, what you should eat for breakfast, how to manage your morning routine to better allow you to eat breakfast, and if you should even bother eating breakfast at all.

Hopefully this ticks all the boxes when it comes to breakfast questions!

In this episode I’m talking all things protein powder because, quite frankly, supplement stores aren’t always the most accurate (or… impartial) source of information.

If I’ve done my job well, then hopefully this episode should leave you knowing the difference between a WPI and a WPC, what to look for in a good protein powder, and if you actually need to be including protein powder in your diet.

Enjoy!

“I’m in a calorie deficit but I’m not losing weight - what am I doing wrong?” is one of the most common phrases I hear as a Sports Nutritionist.

And I completely understand how frustrating this can be when, despite your best efforts, you feel like you’re spinning your wheels.

But (hopefully!) I can help. In this episode I explain what a calorie deficit is, and also look at how I would trouble-shoot this situation with someone I’m working with. If this sounds like you, have a listen, and see if any of the points I cover resonate with you.

If you’re still stuck, please reach out! I offer online coaching for both training and nutrition and would love to help you accomplish your health and fitness goals for 2024.

Let's talk about eating at night-time..

For some reason, eating at night-time seems to be a contentious topic and there is a lot of information (mis-information?) out there from people telling you what you should (or should not) eat after 7pm.

So should you eat after 7pm? What happens if you eat carbs after 7pm? And is it really ok to eat carbs after 7pm? Join me on this week's episode to find out.
