Show Notes
This is a live recording of a talk I did at my local gym for the members, the talk was called 'The Fat Loss Blueprint', which covered 25 tips and tricks to maximise your fat loss efforts. This was the full list of tips I covered in the talk, so you have a record of them:
THE FAT LOSS BLUEPRINT Know what your actual goal is (as it’s not just fat loss. And own it) Calories are king (15% deficit is ideal) Protein needs to be 1.5-2g per KG body weight Fat & carbs make up the rest, in a balance that is optimal for you Real food is king Be a good chef The true cost of “f**k it” moments Breakfast like a pauper because of the stomach stretch reflex Fasting is OK for men, often an issue for women Alcohol, past a point, will hold you back Performance supplements can be fat loss supplements (caffeine, creatine, beta alanine) Cover your basics with supplements first (multi, omega, electrolytes) Food intolerances must be found Whatever steals your energy, say NO to it Set your home environment up for success & be organised A lack of sleep screws up everything Whacked hormones can make everything harder Training is a stress, manage your stress bucket otherwise all systems suffer Training too much can make you lazy and gain weight Always look to build or retain muscle when dieting Move lots every day is a big hack Poor movement = inefficient burn (and recruitment) Pain will always hold you back Invest in skills you lack If you get stuck in victim mode, work out how to get out.

Part 1 got EPIC feedback on how practical the tips were, so I'm excited to share part 2 with you, 5 more science back tips to fuel your health and performance. Enjoy.
Nutrition is an art and a science, it's science because the body needs certain nutrients in a certain form in certain amounts, this gives us a guide for how to eat for optimal human health. But the art comes in making it work for how we live, for enjoyment, for performance.
In the last show I made a guiding statement "the truth will set you free". And I believe this whole heartedly. But, it poised a question from a listener, how do you know if you are living through truth, whether you have found truth, and the answer, challenge EVERYTHING.
Who do you want to be, a powerful question. As, we're always working towards something, are we not? 3 years ago I met a guy, Jody Warrington, an elite cycling coach, and through that friendship we developed identify statements, guiding lights to our personal development. Today, I talk you through the story, how I developed mine, what it is, what it means to me, and how to develop your own. And, importantly, how it powerfully guides my personal development.
Sometimes it's the simplest of concepts that can change your life, but, to change, we first need to remove the chaos, and in the modern world, this can be one of the biggest challanges we face, working out fact from fiction, and then, working out what is true for us.
