I had such a great time speaking with Luis Villasenor of Ketogains in this Podcast all about what makes a good, sustainable Ketogenic diet

We speak about:
-The common assumption that ketogenic diets will eventually be bad for health... no matter how long someone successfully implements one.
-Luis' weightloss journey and how it lead him to discover ketogenic dieting and to get into strength training
-How Luis used a ketogenic diet to gain muscle without putting on a lot of fat.
-What actually is a ketogenic diet, what is ketosis and what are ketones?
-The problem with defining diets by macronutrient ratios or percentages.
-The evolutionary reason for the production of ketones in the body.
-Why taking exogenous ketones won't necessarily give someone all the benefits of a ketogenic diet especially in term of fat loss.
-Some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding keto diets
-Why ketogenic diets don't need to be high fat especially if you're trying to lose fat.
-Why eating more protein won't kick people out of ketosis long term
-The importance of sufficient protein for maintaining and building muscle and why that's important for long term health
-The role of anabolic resistance or leucine insensitivity in the development of sarcopenia
-The problem with doing keto by focusing on highly processed keto-alternatives to junk food
-The importance of sticking to the same regular/consistent foods while dieting in order to reduce decision fatigue
-The importance of a whole foods approach to ketogenic diets
-What does Luis' own ketogenic diet look like and how he keeps it interesting with different herbs and spices
-Ketogenic diets don't need to be expensive and people can actually save money from not spending money on snack foods.
-What are some of the challenges people face when starting a ketogenic diet?
-What is "Keto-Flu" and how can electrolytes help?
-What types of keto diets can be poor for long term health
-The importance of changing habits, perceptions, mentality and one's relationship with food and eating for long term success.

Absolutely loved this chat with Lee Bell all about overtraining, overreaching and how other aspects of lifestyle can affect it.

We cover:
-Lee's love for science, training and educating people and how it's lead to his career in educating coaches
-The importance of making academic research in sports science applicable to coaches and practitioners
-The difficulties of getting ethical approval for many experiments in strength and conditioning science, especially overtraining.
-The compromises that are necessary in developing relevant experiments in sports science
-The relevance of Lee's research into fatigue in sports training
-The importance of fatigue to sports training and improving performance
-What are functional overreaching, non-functional overreaching and overtraining?
-The symptoms of overreaching and overtraining and how long they can last in athletes.
-How does overreaching/overtraining affect strength and performance
-The difficulty in diagnosing overtraining syndrome in athletes
-The lack of research on overtraining in strength sports
-The importance of coaches knowing their athletes well enough to be able to monitor fatigue and prevent overreaching from developing into overtraining.
-The role of other life stresses in developing overreaching and what other factors can contribute.
-Lee's hopes to develop ways to teach coaches how to identify when athletes are at risk of overtraining
-The challenge of understanding science and staying on top of the ever expanding body of literature
-Why you're not evidence based if you haven't watched videos of rats bench-pressing on youtube
-How to design a training plan to induce overtraining in strength athletes
-Lee's plans for his PhD research into overtraining

Lee is a strength and conditioning / sport and exercise science lecturer based at Sheffield Hallam University. He has a publication background in athlete performance, with a special interest in strength sport fatigue. Lee is also co-director at TRA Performance Education, an education platform for coaches and trainers to develop their skills and knowledge.

This is the first article for the website I've written in a few years and I hope it's the first of many.

With Veganuary, vegan meat alternatives are everywhere and if you're thinking of trying them out, this information might help you make better decisions... so you can take care of your health

There has been an explosion in vegan-friendly products on the market which is great in one way but are these products always good replacements for their animal-based counterparts?

Food and Mental Health: This week I had an amazing time speaking to students and the public alike about the possible ways that our diet can affect our mental well-being☯️.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Massive thanks to everyone in for organising the event and to my fellow speaker for a fantastic presentation about how our relationship with food can be distorted.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Food plays a central role in our lives and a balanced diet is an essential component of our well-being. That said, you could have the "best" diet in the world, exercise regularly, manage stress, have a very healthy lifestyle and STILL suffer from mental health issues.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The panel discussion was entertaining and the questions from the audience were amazing. It's such a pity we didn't have time to get around to them all. Hopefully next time 😉.

Like the post and tag friends who you think would like to know this 😉.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Food is made up of 3 main macroNUTRIENTS (4 if you include alcohol 🤔).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each macro contains a different amount of calories and has different functions in the body🤯.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This means you can adjust your Calories to help you achieve your body goals, whatever they may be (I'LL BE RELEASING MORE GUIDES ON HOW TO DO THAT IN THE COMING DAYS).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️Protein for growth, repair and satiety
➡️Fat for concentrated energy and hormonal health
➡️Carbs for performance energy and fibre
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's so much you can learn about improving your health and performance with changes to your macros.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't wait to release more information.
