So the team and I had our Christmas lunch / day out back on December 22nd at Indigo Yard in Edinburgh's West End. It provided a rare opportunity for us (minus coach Graeme who was struck down with the lurgy unfortunately!) to catch up in a social environment away from the [...]
The festive season is rapidly approaching (or already started as soon as Halloween was done and dusted, depending on which group you fall into). It’s a time synonymous with mince pies, black pudding and mulled wine. And Christmas parties. Multiple, messy, Christmas parties. Not exactly an abundance of activities that you’d [...]
The weight loss journey would be a far simpler endeavour, if not for the emotional and psychological aspects that impact our decision making. If we replaced our minds with emotion/craving-less computer chips, we could just eat 100% all natural foods in a calorie deficit day in day out. But there is [...]
Whilst fat-loss is ‘simple’ once you understand how it works, it certainly isn't easy. It takes commitment, hard work, and the determination to set goals and follow through with them until they’re hit. And with the misinformation and dishonest marketing tactics the fitness and health industry is rife with? It’s very [...]
Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: Supplements should be addressed after nutrition, and shouldn’t be used as a replacement for a varied whole food diet. If you’d like to know what we mean by a ‘varied whole food diet’, head over here: How To Create The [...]

But, as you and I well know, just having that information? Often isn’t enough to trigger long term fat-loss. Because there’s [...]
First fats were evil. Then carbs. Then only sugars. Or skipping breakfast. Then you were told you should skip breakfast. Or only eat every second day? The list of the dietary guidance the internet churns out is a smorgasbord of diametrically opposed sentiments that leave even the most enthused of individuals [...]
Ok, ok, I should probably be honest with you from the outset… I was a little… misleading, with the title of this blog. Not misleading to the extent of “Eating this one weird fruit will burn fat right off your body!”. But misleading to the extent I implied a single meal [...]
Ok, I’ll admit it- that was a fairly ‘Click-baity’ blog title… But; water intake is such an important topic that I thought I’d use everything in my internet-blogging power to draw you into the subject. Because honestly? Poor hydration could be a large contributing factor to any struggles with weight loss [...]
I was walking around my local supermarket yesterday, and I came to a somewhat eye-opening realisation… If I was relying on only what the marketing and packaging in the grocery store was telling me was ‘healthy’? I would be far from it. You see 2017 has brought about a very faux-health [...]
