  • Easy lower calorie food swaps that won't leave you hungry 👌 Many people associate dieting and losing weight with images of mountains of salad and broccoli... 😐 However, it's 2019 and there are literally hundreds of exciting foods out there that can fit in your diet! I've tried out many low calorie products over the years so I thought I'd compile a list of some of my favourite swaps. Most of these products are all available in your local supermarket and should cost a similar price to the higher calorie alternative 👍 1: Fat free greek yogurt instead of full fat 2: Sugar free syrup instead of honey/regular syrup 3: Sugar free jelly instead of regular jelly 4: Reduced fat cheese instead of regular cheese 5: Reduced calorie mayo instead of full fat 6: Diet fizzy juice instead of regular 7: 1 cal cooking spray instead of oil 8: Protein bars instead of chocolate bars (these aren't lower in calories but the sugar content is usually much lower than regular chocolate bars) 9: Bagel thins instead of regular bagels Please remember that although many of these products are reduced fat, it's still super important to keep some healthy fats in your diet! So please don't go and cut out fat completely. Keep an eye out on my social media @ccwilsonfit for healthy food ideas and fitness tips 😊#food #tasty #gymlife #tips #fittips #glasgow #personaltrainer
  • Do I need to count calories to lose weight? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ So there is no one simple answer to this question - ideally yes it is easier to lose weight whilst tracking calories because then you're accountable for everything you eat and are therefore less likely to overeat. I personally use the My Fitness Pal app which is free to download on your phone. You can scan barcodes on most foods and it'll directly upload the calories (and macros) to the app. It can be a little more complicated if you cook food from scratch as you'll have to input all the ingredients separately - but if you're committed to your weight loss goal it's well worth the effort 👌 However, realistically it's not possible for everyone to count their calories. It can be a time consuming and sometimes quite complicated process. For example, when you eat out it's almost impossible to accurately track your calories. For my new clients I always recommend that for the first few weeks they try to track their food so they can have an idea of how many calories they roughly eat on a weekly basis. If their diet is similar week in week out then they can stop tracking once they have a better idea of the calories they are typically consuming. If their progress plateaus then I would always recommend they start tracking again! If you're dead against counting calories for whatever reason then my recommendation would be to opt for whole, nutritious foods. Focus on adding lots of vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and fruit to your diet. And of course try to reduce your alcohol intake 👍 Try to also roughly plan out what you're going to eat for the day (especially during the working week) so that you don't end up buying convenience food that'll likely be high in calories and low in nutrients!

  • MEMBER FOCUS It has been an absolute pleasure to train @cushjumbohere and her husband Sean over the past 2 months whilst Cush has been filming Dead Water Fell, a four part drama for Channel 4. Always full of energy and working hard in her sessions, even after a full days filming, it just shows you if you really want to train you can make time for it. Cush: "The unglamorous side of being an Actress is never knowing which city you'll be living in next. When Glasgow became my home for a few months I was lucky enough to stumble upon @s.r.m_fitness at The Club Gym and I'm so happy I did. She is without a doubt the most conscientious trainer I have ever worked with in the UK. She's constantly striving for not only the best from you but the best from herself and that is inspiring to be around, even at 6am! If you're a super busy person who is trying to make every second of your day count, Stacey is for you. Believe me, your butt will thank you." I still have some spaces available for 1-2-1 pt and boxing/kickboxing sessions, get in touch for more info #theclubgym #glasgow #gym #actress #actor #glasgow #film #fit #sweat #glutes #squat #merchantcity #pt

  • **Fight Club** Fallon started the class 4 weeks ago and is loving every minute of it. After a hard day at work kickboxing is a great way to de-stress. When punching and kicking pads, our brain increases the production of endorphins, the neurotransmitters that create feel-good thoughts. Punching helps to relieve muscle tension that can collect when you experience stress. Fallon: "I look forward to this class every week I just wish it was on more! By the end of the hour I am burst! But despite my exhaustion, I leave every week feeling amazing. The workout is tough, but energizing at the same time. I love it!!" There are still a few spaces available, get in touch to book your free trial class 💪👊 I also offer 1-2-1 boxing/kickboxing sessions for more information drop me an email stacey.mcgheept@outlook.com #kickboxing #fit #theclubgym #sweat #classes #train #lifestyle

  • What is the 80/20 diet? 🍌🥦🥕🍕🍫 So in essence the 80/20 diet is an approach to healthy eating that allows you to eat a "clean" diet 80% of the time and have indulgences the other 20%... This type of eating is much more relaxed than your usual diet - and it's less likely to result in binge eating because you're still getting to eat the foods you enjoy in moderation. You can factor your favourite foods in at any time, but many people like to save their treats for the weekend when they have some down time. If you want to be really specific in the diet then 20% of the time would equal about 4 meals over the course of 7 days. Although, please remember if you're looking to lose weight then you'll need to stay in a calorie deficit! So try not to overindulge when you are having your more relaxed days! This type of eating regime works for me because I can still eat a little of my favourite foods (mainly chocolate) - yet I'm still eating a varied healthy diet overall 👍 If your main goal is weight loss then I always recommend that people count their calories when you are first starting a weight loss journey so you can become more aware of the calories in food 👌 You don't need to track forever, but it's a good idea to start as it means you will become more aware of the rough calories in foods... making your weight loss journey more sustainable in the long term 😊 For any questions on how exactly to implement this diet into your lifestyle just send me an email at Courtney.Wilsonpt@outlook.com #PT #personaltraining #fitness #food #results #change #lifestyle #glasgow #theclubgym #goodvibesonly
