VIP Fitness – Details, episodes & analysis

Over the summer due to time being restricted for those of us with kids, I'm doing a mini bitesize series on habits that you can implement to make healthy eating easier, reduce decision fatigue, and generally give you a good foundation to easy, healthy living without using too much brain power.

On this week's episode, post holiday weigh-ins! It can be so tempting to jump straight on the scales, if you're someone who weighs themselves, to see what the "damage" is from your holiday (it's not damage - it's having a good time, unless you fell off a jetski, twisted your ankle walking drunkenly back from the strip, or had a really dodgy local speciality and spent half the week on the loo). Listen in to find out why waiting a week is much better!

Apologies, but being away and the Wifi being rather intermittent, this week it's a (late) repeat episode - Sleep! As part of the bitesize series, Sleep is one of those often overlooked areas that can make all the difference to how easy or hard you find losing fat (spoiler alert: not getting enough sleep can lead to overeating an average of 500kcals a day extra!) So, if you've not heard it before, here's the info on sleep and how bit affects your fat-loss journey, and if you have listened to this one before, here's a refresh!

When I recorded this episode, I thought I had done one previously and was just adding a bit more information. But apparently not! I was sleep deprived when I started this podcast, so that could explain a lot...

Listen to find out why sleep can help or hinder you if you're looking to lose body fat, how it affects your hormones and how in turn these affect your appetite. At the end are some hints and tips on how to get a good night's sleep.

TLDL: Meal plans are like stabilisers on a bike. If you already know how to ride, you probably don't need them. But if you've never ridden before, then they can help get you going, so that you're not constantly falling off and giving up. One size does not fit all, so making a meal plan by yourself or collaboratively with your coach is the best bet.

If you're not getting these basics right, then everything else you're doing is probably just shouting into the wind. Get these basics nailed down first and then worry about the confetti (bonus points to anyone who gets the reference).
