If I’m honest not too much bothers me Well, maybe a few things My other passion is the natural world The fact that due to ongoing declines over the last 40 years, we are now the most nature depleted country in Europe That every time a new diet is invented It is supposed to be the next best thing The reason WHY they all work is never explained How one fundermental thing is what they all have in common That you don’t need to miss food groups or follow a complicated system That exercise companies will let you believe weight loss is down only to exercise That continually doing exercises for a par ..read more

“Should you be eating that?!”
The Lose & Shape Up Expert

Any time I’m in a social setting and there is food And I get the question “What do you do for work?” I have stopped telling them the truth I will get comments like “you won’t be eating what’s here then” Or “how do I lose weight?” I’ve learned they never put the info I give them to use Or worse I could be tucking into something And then suddenly I hear  “You shouldn’t be eating that” “Thought your body was a temple” Or I get people struggling to get results say “I know someone who can eat what they like” Because they saw them eating something ‘off the healthy menu” Here is the thing if yo ..read more

Do you need to count calories for weight loss results?
The Lose & Shape Up Expert
by Ed Stride
3y ago
Even though I’m a coach even I realise that calories are not very interesting No one gets excited when I can tell them roughly how many calories are in a food How many calories are burned in a particular exercise for 20 minutes  It’s a great conversation ender But it does rule how much body fat you have And therefore your health risk And how you feel If you have tried and failed to lose before You just haven’t created a calorie balance for long enough, that’s all The problem is ingested calories are underestimated And burned ones are over estimated We all do it I added a new video in my ..read more

Do you look and feel younger than your years? Or feel everyone of your yours? In terms of your shape, health and energy So did those who age well just get lucky? Well a study from Canada points out aging is 70 percent in your control and only ..read more

The point at which losing weight and improving health get’s easier for over 40 somethings.

In my experience as coach  There is a point in the journey to get results Where it gets easier Smoother sailing So to speak But very few get to that point If you are reading this  Then likely you are stuck Not changing Or not knowing where to start What action to take So no action is taken I understand  There are so many different eating plans/diets (Really don’t like that word) So many exercise programmes Which one do you do? Which one is for you? Which one works? So another day/month/year goes by And no progress So the hardest bit? The biggest hurdle? Getting started Taking ..read more

if you exercise a few times a week regularly Then that’s great and you are doing better than most This on its own is a healthy habit But unlikely to get you the results you want Previously when a lot of what I did was taking people through  A personalised exercise session Tailoring it to their needs  Some would get amazing results Some wouldn’t change very much So, was I getting it wrong with some Missing something? No What was happening Was the difference between what those I was helping Were doing in between their Personal Training sessions The other 140+ hours of their week The t ..read more

The gyms and health clubs have been open for a few weeks now Have you been back? I have ventured back a few times The first time I was a bit nervous More for the reason that it had been a long time The advice I was giving was start steady But how steady? I needn’t have worried Which just goes to show Gyms are optional Now I have a little bit of equipment, so I’m lucky But it’s more about what you do Not fancy equipment And even more so, how consistent There were so many times I could have happily skipped exercise So if you are currently stuck Out of the routine But knowing you have to do some ..read more

I talk about this and remind those I coach this as often as I can Didn’t really hear it mentioned at the gyms I have worked at Not mentioned anywhere in the media My mum is the only one who knows it at her weight loss group Which is a shame If a goal of yours is weight loss It’s one of the most important things to know Then you will know Wether the advice you are getting is based on science Why it might take longer than you think How to tell if a statement is true or not Wether what you are doing will work or not To know how to take the right action And that fact and I wish everyone knows thi ..read more
