When we talk about pre-workout meals, everyone always mentions the same old things: bananas, peanut butter, and whatever else the internet tells you is good. But today, we want to tell you about three underrated foods that you can eat before you hit the gym. First up, we have oatmeal. Yeah, we know, you're thinking, "Oh great, thanks for the tip from 1945!" But hear us out. Oatmeal is a complex carbohydrate, which means it will give you sustained energy throughout your workout.

It's that usual time of year where you might be thinking of making some healthier food choices.

Let's dive in! It Includes Higher Protein Consumption You might see a low carb or a low fat diet, but you'll hopefully never see a low protein diet. Protein is important for mainta ..read more

Michelle Segar's latest book, The Joy Choice, tries to answer the question - "What do you do in chaotic situations where it is very hard to apply habit strategies and skills?" She doesn't mention it by name, but there's a slight dig at Atomic Habits (a current NYT bestseller for over 154 weeks).

What do you do when this is all happening at once? Just like most meetings "could have been an email", this book walks the ..read more

Rarely are conditions perfect and so making a fitness plan that assumes no obs ..read more

Do you remember, back in 2006, when a book called "The Secret" came out? It started the whole "think it and you will attract it" self-help craze and ended up selling over 30 million copies and translated into 50 different languages. We agree with Mark Manson that it's probably bulls**t. And yet, a piece of interesting news just swooped into our cold, pessimistic palms that might suggest otherwise... Fascinating new research suggests that having a positive perspective on eating healthy food may have a positive effect on your satiety levels i.e. how hungry you still feel after consumption.
