They expect two things: That progress will be quick That progress will be linear I have seen this time and time again. This has even been me at some points in my life (not even just with nutrition). However, I learnt the real way to mentally approach goal achievement. And it involves managing your expectations. In this blog post, I deep dive into fat loss progress expectations vs how they deviate from the reality for most people. Allow me to manage your fat loss stress and manage what you expect from this journey!  If you want to lose bodyfat, you got to get with the calorie deficit.
There are no ifs, no buts. It’s the reality of physiology and fat loss thermodynamics. However, being in a calorie deficit is typically very different territory to what most people are used to or currently doing. In fact, with the weight regain problem being the main concern for many dieters, it is safe to safe that being in a calorie surplus is something you may be more used to. So what can you expect on a calorie deficit? What is normal to experience when on a calorie deficit diet?

However, some supplements are proven to be beneficial. The important thing is choosing the right supplement, used correctly, and for the right reasons. When it comes to building muscle and recovering your muscles, real food is key. Supplements, however, can be the cherry on top of the sundae when all other things are working like clockwork. In this blog post, I break down 5 supplements that may be able to help you level up your muscle-building potential and aid in some sweet recovery.  Time to start the year effectively!
I know many athletes find that starting the year well is the hardest part so I wanted to help you out in case you struggle with this too! With new years resolutions, dieting trends, poor advice, and life admin…it’s not hard to fall into traps when it comes to your nutrition goals and do things the wrong way. Not to mention the fact that there is so much nutrition misinformation around with new pieces of B.S. arising each new year to prey on the post-festive season vulnerability.
