The SSFC Podcast

The next episode in the mini series where I document my own weight loss progress. This episode covers weeks 4 & 5. Including navigating the kids being off for half term, family birthdays, injuries & cake.

Fad diets are often sold as some magic that is going to get us to our goals where others have failed. In reality they all work for the same reason. In this episode I cover what that reason is and why but I also look beyond that. Sadly the majority of diets fail too, either while trying them or after, when people regain lost weight (and more). I alos explore the common reason for this failure is and what you can do about it. HINT: It's not your willpower!

Another episode in my series documenting my own weight loss progress. This is a real world example of someone trying to lose body fat is a controlled and sustainable way, without cutting out food groups or doing excessive exercise. In this episode I cover how week 3 went, including what to do when the scales don't budge for days despite doing "everything right".

Update on how week 2 of my weight loss plan has progressed. I'll cover how the week went, what I had to be mindful of and what I did when the scales jumped up 3lbs overnight.

Recap on how the first week of my weight loss plan went. I'll recap the stats and numbers, what went well and what was more challenging. Hopefully you will find a real-world example of a balanced weight loss plan useful.

A new mini-series of podcasts where I will document my own weight loss phase. In this episode I will cover: Starting point and target My nutrition approach What I track, how and why Training & exercise approach I hope you enjoy

It's often been said that our metabolism drops as we age and therefore weight gain is inevitable. But is that the case? I dive into this and explain why we have more control than we think and outline some simple steps we can take to combat this as we age.

Calorie counting is a great tool for me. But, I also recognise it is not for everyone. In this episode I outline the approach I would take instead and why.

Some chat about how I split mine and my clients training through the week. What is a training split? How I decide which split to use and why. Other considerations for picking the best split for you

In this episode I discuss what happened when I tried to use cardio to lose body fat. I'll talk about what happened, why it didn't work and what I do now instead. I'll also give some thoughts on my approach to cardio now. Enjoy!

In this episode I cover a simple tip that has helped me and the people I've shared it with to keep making progress and avoid the pitfalls of the All or Nothing trap. Even when things go a little off track!

It can be a challenge to stay true to your nutrition goals when you live and eat with other people. No-one wants to cook two different meals for the family or eat a salad while your housemates are sat with you eating Pizza. In this pod I cover how to navigate this and still be successful.

In this episode I talk about online coaching. What it is, what it isn't and a bit about my particular approach.

Welcome to the first ever episode of the SSFC podcast. Here I introduce myself to the world and chat about my journey into Coaching.
