Focuses on weight loss/gain mechanisms. Looks at the causes of widespread obesity seen in today’s world. Examines commonly used solutions and counters with solutions that it views more effective.

Mainly attacks the idea of calorie restriction being effective at long term weight loss/management. Highlights the hormone insulin as important and the ways that it can be affected by our behaviours. Offers several reasonable steps to improve health and where required, weight loss. Also promotes fasting as a successful tool for long term weight loss.

🧠 Thoughts – Wrongly attacks calorie restriction as ineffective. The bulk of current evidence highlights the importance of a restriction for weight loss. Not the only aspect of weight loss, but definitely effective.

It highlights other interesting aspects to good health (wholefoods, stress management, sleep hygiene) among some outlandish claims from outdated studies.

One such aspect, pre and post activity eating. The eating before and after you get a lil sweat on. Is it important for you and your goals? How important? Are you doing 'it' all wrong? 😳

Yesterday's post gym breakfast. Consider YOUR situ and goals πŸ€” For me - High protein, high calories and, as always, wholefoods where possible.

πŸ‘‰ Eggs as a protein source. Poaching takes practice (swipe for the perfect poachie πŸ‘Œ) , other egg types work just allow for the extra calories where necessary.
πŸ‘‰ Include something green and whole wherever and whenever possible. You can make it taste good, consider the flavours you like and get creative.
πŸ‘‰ Bread choice, don't get hung up on the minor details here. My prefered choice? Sourdough is a fav but usually go with anything that's real wholegrain. Bottom line - avoid highly processed and simple sources.
πŸ‘‰ Complex carbs help you stabilise blood sugar keeping you at a happy medium (energy wise) throughout the day. When we get snoozey we crave sugar, not what we want. @ Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Lunching on leftovers. Here we have last nights dinner. Thai style chicken, broc, black beans and rice. Quick n Easy πŸ˜‹

πŸ‘‰ Keep it organic where possible (here with broc and black beans).
πŸ‘‰ Aim high in the wholefood, protein and fiber departments.
πŸ‘‰ Not got much time? Increase simplicity by using things like Thai 5 spice seasoning and microwave rice.
πŸ‘‰ Enjoy what you eat by keeping it fresh. This example - add fresh flavours by squeeze of lime, fresh chilli, ginger and spring onion before you munch.

When time and convenience are your obstacles. Make preparation your best bud πŸ˜πŸ’š
