Amy Roskelley has an incredibly inspiring story, and in this episode she shares it with me. She was overweight in her younger years but decided to finally change this in her 40s - and become a bikini competitor!

In our conversation we talk through the struggles she faced, how she used calorie counting to lose weight successfully, how she manages motivation and how strength training made a genuine difference to her life.

It was amazing to hear her story and how she changed her life and there are so many pearls of wisdom in this episode - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Sometimes, despite best efforts, weight loss attempts and diets can go wrong. You can be doing fantastically... And then - BAM! Life throws a curve ball.

It can feel so frustrating, demotivating and unfair, and it can be difficult to manage. If you're unlucky, it can spell the start of a spiral into following old dietary habits which got you to where you didn't ever think you would be.

In this episode, I talk through the ways that I help 1:1 clients manage their diets and how they can bring things back if things don't work out quite as they planned.

And once they have got things back under control, how do they keep it there and prevent it from happening again in the future?

A new study in February 2024 caused a bit of controversy online because the results suggested that plant protein might be better than animal or dairy protein in helping someone to grow older in better health.

As with most things, the results weren't quite as simple and clearcut as this. In this podcast episode, I give you the real truth behind this study, whether its results are something that you can believe and what you need to be aware of before you start telling your best friend over coffee to start eating more plants.

There are lots of methods and diets that people claim as the best for weight loss.

Most of it, unfortunately, is not true and doesn't have a good scientific basis. However, there is one nutrient which is incredibly helpful for weight loss and has a huge evidence base to support it.

If you're trying to lose weight then this nutrient is absolutely vital, and it could be the critical factor in you doing it successfully.

That nutrient is protein, and this this episode I talk you through the science behind protein, why it works for you and link it to practical tips for you to include more protein in your diet.

There is evidence to support protein's impact on hunger signalling, as well as preserve more muscle mass which can increase your resting calorie expenditure. Not only that, but it's also been shown to reduce the risk of weight regain after hitting your goal.

Studies that I mention:

Your diet and the food that you eat is incredibly important when it comes to weight loss, and without being in the right calorie deficit you won't lose weight.

But numbers and calorie deficits aren't the only thing that are important. Weight loss should be seen as a journey, with twists and turns, bumps and bruises. It's very rare that weight loss goes 100% to plan.

Underestimating factors like realistic timeframes, missing non-weight successes and failing to prepare for stress periods can completely derail your attempts at weight loss.

In this episode, I walk you through 10 mindset tips which have the potentially to transform your weight loss journey and your life.
