Healthy Eating Tip!!

Rather than worrying about eating less, we should start to focus more on eating foods which our bodies can use to build and repair.

Here are 5 steps to get started:

1. At breakfast switch your cereals for either eggs, Porridge or a smoothie.

2. At lunch trade out your sandwich and replace it with a soup or salad that is mostly vegetables, meat or a combination of both.

3. For snacks lose the crisps, scones, and chocolate and replace them with fruits, vegetables, proteins.

4. Replace all beverages with water, herbal tea, or the occasional coffee.

5. Make sure you are eating frequent enough according to your needs. If you burn calories you must refuel, starving yourself is not a good approach for fat loss.

The absorption of antioxidants in avocados is increased when fresh avocado (or avocado oil) is added to a salad!! Avocados are also a great source of healthy fats and are just as delicious as a spread from wraps or pittas.

KIWIS = SUPERFRUIT

Everyone should eat more of this super fruit! One medium kiwi contains twice as much vitamin C as an orange, more potassium than a cup of sliced bananas, and a quarter of your reco'd daily fiber intake -- all for 50 calories!

Are you a "time waster" in the gym? Do you have goals that can be measured ? Maybe your goal is to gain strength, to loose body fat or to move better .

A specific goal like I want to loose 4cm of body fat from my waist or I want to do 5 push ups on my toes or learning a new skill like a clean, will give you a focused approach to your training.

Something you can measure, so every time you step into your training place you know your game plan and you can work towards it with a focus in your mind. If your looking for a game plan or new training program no matter what the goal i am here to help.

I have experience working in high performance rugby and elite soccer and have coached hundreds of clients through their weight loss goals. Please contact me today if you would like to book a consultation with me and we can start discussing your goals and making a plan of action. Getting the results that you have always wanted are only a single consultation away.

Eating Clean is a Lifestyle - It isn't Weight Watchers. :)) !!

Successful long-term weight management is achieved when we develop positive and consistent lifestyle behaviors that promote optimal health and wellness. Unfortunately, our bodies do not work along a calorie - or point system. So if you are still counting calories or points im afraid but you are most likely going to fail at some stage.

Managing our weight shouldn't be a constant struggle, in fact it shouldn't even be a thought in your mind. The sooner you start enjoying real food and tuning in to how it makes you feel your cravings for high sugar snacks and high gi meals will soon disappear.

Tao28 is not a quick fix, its a lifestyle that you can adapt and live with for the rest of your life.

Did you know that you can "see" flavours in foods before you taste them?

According to Professor Acree from Cornell University in New York, flavour depends not only on taste but also parts of the brain involving smell, touch and vision. It’s the sum of all of these things together with our emotions and past experiences that results in perception of flavours and whether we like or dislike certain foods.

In fact Professor Acree says that the eyes play such a powerful role that they can trump the tongue and nose in determining the appeal of a food!

So the old saying "looks good enough to eat" is quite right. Next time you are plating dinner, remember that presentation counts!

Did you know sleep deprivation has been linked to junk food consumption?

A new study shows an association between high calorie food choices after a sleepless night. The study identifies that after a sleepless night the part of the brain that governs complex decision-making is impaired, while the more primal part of the brain that responds to simple reward and desire is activated.

This activation of the brain pathway caused by lack of sleep led to poor food choices, with participants opting for high calorie burgers or sugary snacks over healthy low calorie fruits and vegetables.
