Successful People do what most of us WON’T do

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn7k_So2O64&feature=youtu.be https://howistayfit.com/focus/successful-people/ Successful People do what most of us WON’T do A quick message here.  I want to talk about successful people. In my opinion, most of the time highly successful people, people that I look up to and admire and aspire to be, they get to where they are not because they are able to do what others “can’t” do.  It’s because they do what others “won’t” do. Yes, l know there are exceptions.  Only a teeny tiny percentage of the population could ever be as good at football as Cristiano Ronald for example.  He might be hard working, I’m not saying he’s not, but he has the kind of God given talent that most us will never obtain, no matter how hard we try.  The late Professor Stephen Hawking is another example – he had the kind of intelligence that none of us could ever have. But people like that are the exceptions!  I’m talking about the majority of cases her
https://howistayfit.com/diet/reverse-dieting/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTQNF5AZR4k&feature=youtu.be Reverse Dieting Now that Operation Get Dan Diced has ended, and I achieved my goal of super low body fat, what am I doing now? The answer, is Reverse Dieting.  See the video here: What is Reverse Dieting? Reverse Dieting is, as the same suggests, reversing the dieting process by increasing food intake. Through the process of me dieting down to super low body fat, I was week by week either gradually dropping calories, or gradually increasing exercise volume. Reverse Dieting, is quite literally the reverse of this process.  So, over the coming weeks, I will be gradually, week by week, either gradually decreasing the exercise volume, or gradually increasing calories. Why not adjust both exercise and calories at the same time? It’s quite simply not necessary.  All you need are small changes and minor adjustments to get the body to respond the way you wan

Lo Dough – first time giving it a try. I make low calorie pizza!

I make low calorie pizza!   admin   06/11/2018 Lo Dough – first time giving it a try. I make low calorie pizza! So I’d seen this Lo Dough stuff advertised online.  Figured why not give it a go! It’s a little pricey to be honest, but at 39 calories and 2.2g of carbs per serving it seemed too good to be true! In this video I had a try making pizza with it.  It wasn’t bad at all!  I used other low calorie ingredients like Lean Protein Cheese and sugar / salt free ketchup too.

Too much fat on your food? Boil it first!

https://howistayfit.com/cooking/boil-your-food/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET-BtfC4Oog&feature=youtu.be Too much fat on your food? Boil it first! Too much fat on your food? Boil it first! Boiling food before cooking, is a little simple trick I use when trying to keep my calories down! This also helps with food that is particularly salty when I want to lower the sodium content. In this video you see me boiling some beef burgers, rinsing off the excess fat and salt, before grilling them as you normally would.  I still grill them so to give that same burger taste and texture.  Also note that these are decent quality burgers from the butchers, so they are already fairly lean, and not just the cheap crappy processed meat you can get! I’m not a fan of lamb, generally speaking, but when I do have lamb I will normally boil it first too. Give it a go!  Watch the video below!

Operation Get Dan Diced Week 6 FINAL Update

https://howistayfit.com/diet/operation-get-dan-diced-week-6-final-update/ Operation Get Dan Diced Week 6 FINAL Update   admin   05/11/2018 Operation Get Dan Diced Week 6 FINAL Update I am DICED!  I did it!  I made it!  And thank God it’s over. It’s been a tough journey.  But, yes, despite my deep contemplation and pondering thoughts of last week, it WAS worth it! Week 6 Progress Pics I wrapped up the end of Operation Get Dan Diced with a professional photoshoot.  I used my pal and awesome photographer  Nick Velasco (http://www.nickvelasco.com/) There’s a lot more pics on their way, but here’s a few that Nick sent over for now. My body weight Let’s take a look at my weight fluctuations across the six week program: Average AM Bodyweight (when I’m at my heaviest): Week 1 – 77.2kg Week 2 – 76.7kg Week 3 – 77.3kg Week 4 – 76.9kg Week 5 – 77kg Week 6 – 76.5kg Average PM Bodyweight (when I’m at my lightest): Week 1 – 73.6kg Week 2 – 72

I would NEVER do this with a client, so why am I doing it with myself?

https://howistayfit.com/diet/i-would-never-do-this-with-a-client-so-why-am-i-doing-it-with-myself/ I would NEVER do this with a client, so why am I doing it with myself?   admin   01/11/2018 Do as I say, not as I do! I must admit that I’m not in a very good place psychologically as I write this.  I have just a few days left of dieting.  I am on very low calories.  My energy levels are so low that it requires maximum effort to do ANYTHING, even just to think!  The fact that I’m still hitting the gym everyday seems an absolute miracle.  So the question I ask myself is “why am I doing this to myself?”  Would I do this with a client, if it involved them suffering and if it impacted their everyday life to such an extent?  NO!  Of course I wouldn’t!  So why am I doing this to myself? Is it worth it? You should know by now that I encourage people to follow a sensible balanced healthy diet.  I believe that torturing yourself and suffering is just NOT necessary, when there are l
