Time for change
Firstly, this wasn’t going to be my blog for this week, I have list of blog topics in order and this week it was nutrition myths. I’ll do it next week but this week I have been thinking a lot about the changes we are going through, I’m not a big fan of change. ItContinue reading “Time for change”
TDEE
Total Daily Energy Expenditure – TDEE This is basically how many calories you burn in a day. This is so important to understand, I feel that once I understood how my energy (calories) was expended I understood how I could minipulate it for my goals. I didn’t have to ridigidley count my calories thatContinue reading “TDEE”
Macronutrients
I mentioned macro’s yesterday to my husband and he didn’t know what it was. Once I said it was simply carbohydrates, protein and fat he was still totally clueless. I mean yes he has heard of them but he is very old school in what he relates them to. He knows bread has carbs inContinue reading “Macronutrients”
Calories
We throw the word calorie around a lot but I’m betting a lot of us don’t actual know or understand what it actual is? Are all calories equal? Is fat loss just down to calories in calories out? Diets don’t work! These are big debates in the nutrition world. So what is a calorie? AContinue reading “Calories”

If you have read previous blogs you will know that I have been thinking about trying moderation. I still am. I was committingContinue reading “Out with the old in with the new!”
Myth busting
You can’t have a good time without a drink! You are boring without alcohol. Drinking makes you cool. Alcohol is not a drug because it legal. All the above I believed. Why wouldn’t I? It is ingrained in us from an early age that when we get older we should drink alcohol, it’s what makesContinue reading “Myth busting”
A side of guilt!
This is one emotion I struggle to control. I feel guilt for everything. Guilt for say no to playing a board game with my daughter because I have 10 other things to do, guilt for eating the cake, guilt for taking a day off work sick, guilt for not getting up on time to doContinue reading “A side of guilt!”
