https://howistayfit.com/life/client-progress-health/ Clients’ Progress – it’s more than how you look! How about we consider Health for a moment when we think about Fitness… Fitness is MORE than just your looks and appearance.  Instagrammers, take note: fitness is not just about how you look! I see the people I work with make awesome transformations, but these are NOT solely physical changes to their appearance.  I see them make positive changes to their health and their wellbeing.  They change mentally and psychologically, as well as often physically. Yes, clients’ physiques change.  They lose body fat, they tone up, they gain muscle, and they gain strength.  But so often many more changes than this take place, that you just CANNOT capture on camera. My point here, is NOT to put too much emphasis on the way you look when it comes to gauging your fitness progress.  And of course, usually the worst thing you can d...

https://howistayfit.com/diet/dont-diet/ Don’t Diet! This might sound strange, but I don’t diet anymore. I don’t get any of my clients to diet either. You might be ready to call me out on this one: “if you don’t diet, then how are you always lean?” You’ve seen my pics and videos – I always have visible abs. And my clients achieve strong, lean physiques. So, how is this possible without dieting? The Don’t-“Diet” Diet Protocol My approach to nutrition and fat loss is through using what I’ve coined as The Don’t-“Diet” Protocol. I call it this, because my “diet” isn’t a diet at all. A “diet” is a temporary short term way of eating to force temporary unsustainable weight loss. However, my protocol implements an enjoyable way of eating for sustainable maintainable permanent results. Diets don’t work! I don’t like fad diets or crash diets. They don’t work. Well actually they CAN work. Except you end up putting any weight you lose back on, and often gain even more weight th...

  https://howistayfit.com/training/waist-trainer I wore a Waist Trainer for a month. Here’s what happened   admin   23/05/2019 I wore a waist trainer for a month.  Here’s what happened I’m not particularly proud of it, but it’s true: I wore a waist trainer.  For a whole month. I’m always learning, so I’m often experimenting, trying and testing out different things that are fitness related.  The whole concept of waist trainers had me curious, so I figured “hey, what have I got to lose?” What is a waist trainer? For those who don’t know, when I say “waist trainer”, I am referring to what can only be described as a modern-day less-extreme version of a corset!  (Yes, I know I am only damaging my reputation even more here by telling you that I was basically wearing a corset!) Essentially a waist trainer is a tightly worn belt that compresses your midsection, and it is to be worn for long durations of time daily, over p...

https://howistayfit.com/diet/psmf/ The HARDEST diet for Fat Loss (and what you should do instead!)   admin   12/05/2019 The PSMF diet works, but it is so hard! I got lean.  Quickly.  But I would not recommend this diet for the majority of people! I am always learning, and I love trying and testing new things when it comes to training and nutrition. Which is why I was all too happy to try this dieting approach on myself.  I had seen my body fat levels creeping up lately.  So, I was quite keen to diet down anyway.  Which is why I figured why not test out a different dieting approach. “Protein Sparing Modified Fast” (PSMF) The dieting method I used was based on a “Protein Sparing Modified Fast” (PSMF).  Basically, this involved eating a fairly high protein diet, but minimalizing carbohydrates and dietary fats by as much as possible.  And of course, my overall calorie intake was in a deficit. ...

https://howistayfit.com/training/training-during-ramadan/ Training during Ramadan   admin   07/05/2019 When you cannot eat or drink for 16 hours or so each day, what do you do?! Training during Ramadan? A question I get asked regularly each year, is how to best eat and train during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims around the world, for it is within this month that the Muslim holy book, the Qur’an, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed.  A special requirement for this month is that all Muslims who are able to, are required to fast every day from sunrise to sunset, abstaining from all eating or drinking, and not even water is allowed. Harder than Intermittent Fasting Clearly this is very different from the Intermittent Fasting (IF) protocols that are popular at the moment. At least with IF you still drink fluids whilst fasting. But for Ramadan, this is not the case! To make matters even more difficult, the Islamic calendar is ba...
