10 things I wish people would understand...

1️⃣ Every diet, including yours, is essentially just financial budgeting.

2️⃣ But instead of money, you’re saving calories for *expensive* (higher cal) days.

3️⃣ That social media influencer peddling diuretics doesn’t know what they’re talking about, nor do they care about you.

4️⃣ Slimming World & Weight Watchers are over complicated systems you have to depend on in order to maintain progress.

5️⃣ They also indirectly promote disordered eating & misinformation... “I can eat as much pasta as a I like & lose weight!”

6️⃣ BCAAs are pointless if you consume enough protein. If you don’t, that should be where to start. Not buying unnecessary supps.

7️⃣ Creatine. Take it. 3-5g daily. Whenever you like. Whether you’re man, women or hermit crab 🦀. Powder or pill form.

8️⃣ Your body type is irrelevant. Someone let that V-Shred helmet know.

9️⃣ Telling an overweight individual to just “eat less!” is like telling an alcoholic just to “drink less!” and a depressed person to “just be happy!”

🔟 You’re not going to be here forever. It’s your job to distinguish between which things/moments are worth sacrificing for. Because some moments may not be worth missing in pursuit of your physique goals. While others may be.

Here are some examples of how you can increase the protein in your diet without it skyrocketing your calories.

Some useful things to know...

Find a pattern of eating you enjoy.

Try to get a source of protein in early. Since this will make hitting your protein target a lot easier.

Include a protein source and veggies at each main meal (where possible).

Have a plan of action. You don’t have to meal prep, but if you don’t have an inkling of what choices to opt for on the move, you’ll likely reach for anything.

Hope this helps 👊🏽

Unpopular opinion but PTs shouldn’t be providing set meal plans & supplement guidance.

In fact, they’re not sanctioned to do so. It’s illegal. It’s out of their scope of practice.

The amount of trainers I’ve spoken to who have a sub-optimal knowledge of nutrition, is a major concern in an industry which is already filled with misinformation.

Misconceptions like this are just some which are spread around the gyms on a regular basis...

❌ Go low carb if you want to lose weight.
❌ Fasted cardio is best.
❌ Have a “cheat” meal once a week.
❌ You can’t eat a cookie everyday and lose weight.
❌ BCAAs are the best supp for muscle growth.
❌ Strict meal plans are best.
❌ Try harder to remove the foods you enjoy if you want to lose weight!
❌ “ClEaN eAtInG”

And so on.

If we want to make the industry a more sound and inclusive place for people to achieve their fitness goals, then we need to understand what we can and can’t do.

Having a great bod and enjoying training is not enough to warrant you dealing with an individual’s food & supplement intake.

At least not in a prescriptive sense.

Real talk, don’t be a helmet. It’s hard enough dealing with this heat let alone the other challenges many are dealing with which we can’t see.

Have a solid time in the sun and try to be inclusive of everyone.

See the next slide for some perspective 👉🏽

Don’t get caught up in the social media conundrum...

No one’s posting their losses (including me).

If you saw the struggles, you wouldn’t be so envious of those you think have more than you.

No one cares the way a real person does.

You think likes on a picture from randomers 400 miles away are going to help when things in your life go south?

No. But your family, friends & those who know the real you will.

Most of your likes are coming from people on the toilet 😅🚽

Read that again. And again. Until you realise that a social media presence isn’t as important as you think.

The Insta models/influencers you envy have it tough too. Trust me…

You’ve had to go out into the world and learn how to converse and get on with people.

They haven’t.

Outside of photoshopping, airbrushing & being a little easy on the eyes, they lack any real substance.

So they’ll sit at a dinner table with a conversation as interesting as a wet flannel while you’re on the other table having giggles with your friends & family.

Don’t get it twisted though, there are tons of positives to being online.

But erecting your ego isn’t one of them though 🙏🏽

I know this is a super sensitive topic, but nonetheless one we need to be able to talk about openly…

Implying that their is no distinct advantage for people born male in women’s sport is naive and insulting to the women who dedicate their lives to a career as athletes.

If they just let anyone take part in women’s sports, then people can abuse this opportunity and women / girls could very well lose their competitiveness.

This isn’t about attacking transgenders, it’s about protecting women’s sport.

Similar to the arguments made against steroid use.

Why are there separate competitions for males and females? Now I understand that “gender” can be a social construct independent of biological s*x, but not in competitive sport where physical advantages are clear.

Not only that, but there are currently very low regulations on what’s an appropriate level of testosterone, and many transgender athletes are competing still with elevated levels and clear cut advantages (like bone density, limb length, hand size, more myonuclea, etc.) over cis-females.

It’s because these biological differences exist that sports are separated, enabling women to compete in environments that are not firmly weighted against them.

In debating what’s right for a small minority, we can’t lose sight of the much larger number of women who would be most disadvantaged.

Now before you say, I understand there’s a lot of nuance around this topic, and I am absolutely NOT talking about transgender men & women’s rights, which I am absolutely for!

I’m only speaking in the context of sport and the competitive advantages they may have, and how this can impact opportunities for cis-gender females.

Trying to pack on some last minute muscle in time for the summer? 💪🏽

Focus on these 5 areas vigilantly for the next month…

1️⃣ Focus LESS on cardio and MORE on lifting.

2️⃣ Do LESS isolation fluff and MORE multi-joint compound lifts.

3️⃣ START tracking your lifts, calories and protein. (Even just to gauge an understanding)

4️⃣ Eat 30-40g of protein every 4 hours when you’re awake.

5️⃣ Include 3-5g of Creatine Monohydrate post-workout.

Finally STOP focusing on what others are doing and focus on levelling yourself up!

👊🏽

This one’s for the girls who struggle with the immense pressure of feeling like they need to conform to social media standards.

Just a reminder that no one is doing as well as it may appear and we all deal with setbacks. Keep going because you don’t know how close you are and how much you’re inspiring others 🙏🏽

Awareness for the lads who are also impacted by the toxic diet culture.
