Which nutrition stratergy suits YOU?

There's plenty of factors we need to consider when setting up your nutrition:

What are your goals?
What is the timeframe?
Do you have any preferences?
What is your lifestyle like?
How is your relationship with food?

Just to name a few...

Picking the appropriate stratergy for you is very important, the right choice will get you to your goal with the least resistance.

Chris completely transformed his body in 12 weeks!

Running a successful business (shout out .t.coffeehouse ) and all the stress that entails, Chris had let his health and fitness slip.

He decided enough was enough and change was needed. Chris contacted me and we set out our plan, 12 weeks to get in the best shape of his life.

Chris’s busy work and social schedule meant he needed a plan which was adaptable. The plan had to fit around his lifestyle, not vice versa.

Through education around his nutrition and consistent hard work in his 3 weekly PT sessions, Chris was able to significantly reduce his body-fat and improve muscle tone (check out them abs!).

He’s now in a reverse diet as he gets ready to run the Altrincham 10k (link in his bio to donate!), and then it’s time to enter a gaining phase and build muscle 💪🏻.

Excited to be now working out of ! Any questions regarding your health and fitness or queries about 1-1 coaching pls drop me a DM! 💪🏻

🥜Healthy Fats🥑

-

Fat gets a bad wrap, this is due to a few factors... it’s the most calorically dense macronutrient (9 cals per gram), we’ve been told it causes heart disease, hell its name is FAT😂.

-

Healthy fats (mono and polyunsaturated) however, are a key part in a well-rounded healthy diet. Healthy fats have a positive effect on hormone regulation, nutrient absorption, maintaining healthy blood lipid levels, and a lot of them taste great!

-

If you count macros, be sure to get most of your fat intake from good healthy fat sources, be careful most of your fat is not coming from trace fats in your other foods. Good fat sources include: Avocados, nuts, olive oil, oily fish, eggs.

💤 The Importance if Sleep 💤

-

I have recently been discovered the work of Dr Matthew Walker, one of the leading scientists in the field of sleep. His book ‘Why we sleep’ and his podcast with Joe Rogan are a must read/listen.

-

Some of the consequences of poor sleep which Dr Walker outlines are scary. Most notably this stat: The day after The clocks go back and we lose an hours sleep heart attack rates go up by a whopping 24%, even more intriguingly, when we gain an hours sleep the heart attack rates drop significantly. This is shocking and stresses the importance of getting the recommended 7-8 hours sleep a night.

-

If you struggle to sleep, first of all prioritise it as much as possible. Here’s a few things you can do to help maximise your sleep:

-

📱 Reduce your exposure to blue light (the stress inducing light produced from@electronics such as phones and TV’s)

-

❄️ Keep your bedroom cool at night, if possible have a hot bath or shower before bed, this will accelerate your body’s cooling process.

-

☕️ Reframe from consuming caffeine in the afternoon, caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours. If you have an espresso shot at 4pm, at 10pm half of that espresso shot is still in your system

-

There are many more things you can do to optimise your sleep but these 3 tips are great starting points.

I’ve been working with Liam for almost a year now, the pictures above are from a 5 week mini-cut we did recently which as you can see were a great success, Liam lost 3kg whilst maintaining muscle mass and performance in the gym. Liam came to me as a complete beginner and now stands out as someone with great overall exercise mechanics, this has translated into aesthetic results also, he’s gained over a stone in muscle mass since we started together.

Here’s what Liam had to say:

“Angus taught me how to use great and safe form for compound lifts, he also helped me to improve my mobility which made lifting weight easier.
On top of that, he showed me a variety of assistance and isolation movements for individual muscles.
My strength and muscle mass has improved significantly with his advice. He is very knowledgable about both strength and conditioning, and has a variety of different training methods to help achieve different goals.”
