Many of our trainers (including myself) when discussing nutrition with their clients, advise them to consume fewer calories than they plan to expend. For many, this simple rule is enough to promote healthy weight loss. However, this is a very simplistic view and will not provide a remedy for those who have ever struggled to drop body fat.

Most people experience weight gain through-out the festive season, and in turn make it their top priority to get back in shape for the New Year.

A common goal of Neville and Entwistle’s clients is weight loss through body fat reduction. Subsequently clients would complete a food diary recording their food and liquid intake, with a view on reducing calorie intake. However, a common mistake arose in the form of many clients unknowingly drinking their calories.

From that, failure to identify correct exercise mode (type of exercise to perform) could be a critical factor in success rate. It is well documented that aerobic exercise (such as running, cycling, rowing and swimming) typically demonstrates a high caloric expenditure, but resistance training has been proven to be crucial for accelerating and maintaining weigh loss.

Admittedly this tip may take a while to get used to, but you’ll be glad you made the effort.

The term calorie is just a word we use to describe an amount of fuel or energy. You need a certain amount of body fuel to get you through the day and night (called your basic metabolic rate). A simple formula can estimate of your basic metabolic rate, first multiply your body weight (Kg) by 1 if you are male, or by 0.9 if female. Multiply the result by 24 to calculate your basic metabolic rate in calories.

I often get asked which is the number one food supplement by my clients. I tell them fish oils regardless of there goals, whether is be weight loss or muscle gain.
