    8 week transformation challenge - how to succeed?

    Good luck with the challenge Katie. I've got a few tips: 1. As PowerBuilder mentioned, keep a log. It's amazing how your accountability will sky-rocket with a training log. If you don't feel that you are disciplined with nutrition, keep a food diary also. 2. If you are not confident in...

    About becoming a personal trainer

    Just as in any industry, there are a range of professionals with all different skills. You'll find great personal trainers and shocking personal trainers. Just as you'll find a variety of plumbers, lawyers and chefs. Personally, I do believe that it is far too easy to be qualified to become a...

    Is it possible to build muscle AND lose fat at the same time?

    I have seen studies where, after a 12 week period, participants have experienced a net fat loss and net muscle gain. I remember one study that was presented at Filex this year by Dr Kravitz where he showed that a group of participants undergoing diet, cardio and weights experienced a phenomenal...

    About becoming a personal trainer

    That's a really good point Kyle. In this industry there are so many different personality types. You'll get clients of all levels of experience - ones where you have to explain the fundamentals of weight loss and others where you will have to go through a few of the latest studies just to get...

    About becoming a personal trainer

    I've heard mixed reports about lots of places. FIA was where I did my PT studies and I found that a lot of the content was really elementary having come from a uni background in biological science. The nutrition section was especially bad...particularly when you were asked to study the food...

    my diet for cutting...

    I remember reading an article not long ago on avocado's and how productive they are on fat oxidation due to the fat's contained within.

    Thoughts on Artificial Sweeteners?

    True. What I've been doing lately is just putting in some BCAA powder into gatorade during my workouts based on some research papers that have shown bcaa's + cho during workout is quite productive for hypertrophy.

    my diet for cutting...

    I'm suggesting fruit primarily from a health perspective. If you opt for a type of fruit that is relatively low in calories (apple and berries for example) it will have a negligible effect on your cut. Generally non-tropical fruits have a lower GI due to the prevalence of fructose (AKA fruit...

    Thoughts on Artificial Sweeteners?

    I just started with the natural whey a few weeks ago (blogged about it a couple of times). I love it. They use Stevia as a sweetener. It's a leaf derivative and the sugars are apparently bound to cellulose which is why we cannot digest the carbs contained within it (correct me if I'm wrong, but...

    Thoughts on Artificial Sweeteners?

    Hey guys, just signed up to the board and thought I'd start a topic :) I've been supplementing with various protein powders for years now and it wasn't long ago when I considered the fact that all these artificial sweeteners may catch up with me one day if I don't do something about eliminating...

    Last meal problem

    Thanks Katie :) Yeah, seeing as though it's mainly a personal training website, most clients prefer to keep everything private...so not much public discussion. Now considering that I'm in South Sydney (shire) and not particularly motivated to travel to Parra regularly...I think I'll adhere to...

    my diet for cutting...

    I would agree that you could look at increasing the protein component to your diet. Be careful not to go overboard though, excess protein will only serve to raise urea levels and calorie consumption. What about pre/post workout meals? Are you having any? I would also be suggesting to...
