Willpower alone won’t stop you snacking.

Willpower alone won’t stop you snacking.

So often I see people say they don’t have the willpower or if only they had more willpower. 


Relying on willpower alone is unlikely to help you be successful in certain situations. Particularly around tempting foods. 


Using other strategies to help you so that you don’t have to rely on your willpower will help you a lot more.

The Scale Can Lie

The Scale Can Lie

The scale is a good way of tracking weight loss progress.  

That being said, weight can fluctuate for many reasons, so it’s not always the best way on its own.   This is why it’s important to have other ways of tracking progress too.   

I’ll share how to better track your progress in this episode.

Can you eat the foods you enjoy and still see results?!

Can you eat the foods you enjoy and still see results?!

I often see people saying foods are 'bad, or they make you fat, or you need to avoid them or cut them out.


The issue with these statements is that they're looking at foods in isolation and not at the diet as a whole.


In this video I discuss this further and talk about how you can use a flexible dieting approach to include the foods you enjoy without compromising your results.

I went away, ate a load of food and junk, probably put on some weight, but still didn't ruin my progress

I see so many people panic that they come back from a trip away a few pounds heavier. This really isn't a cause for concern. As I explain in the episode, this isn't going to ruin your long term progress so long as you get things back to normal once you return.

Please feel free to like this episode, share with friends, and leave a review for the podcast. I really appreciate all the interaction and it all helps the podcast to reach more people which I hope can help them in their health and fitness journey!!
