In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams tackles common challenges many people face with fasting, overeating, and alcohol, sharing both personal experiences and strategies to overcome these obstacles.
Alcohol and Social Life:
Alcohol is one of the biggest hurdles for many, including Brad. The key is moderation and setting boundaries, such as reserving alcohol consumption for weekends or special occasions.
Practical tips include switching to lighter drinks, using low-calorie mixers, or exploring alternatives like CBD or adaptogenic drinks to satisfy the urge without adding empty calories.
Overeating and Sweet Tooth:
Overeating often stems from mindless eating or indulging in high-calorie snacks. Brad emphasizes prioritizing protein and fiber in meals to curb cravings and stabilize blood sugar.
For those with a sweet tooth, swapping high-sugar treats for healthier alternatives, such as Stevia-based candies or fruit with whipped cream, can help reduce calorie intake without sacrificing satisfaction.
Struggles with Fasting:
Fasting can be daunting for beginners due to hunger pangs and cravings. Brad recommends starting with intermittent fasting, reducing eating windows, and staying busy to avoid snacking.
Tools like black coffee, tea, and apple cider vinegar can suppress appetite and make fasting more manageable.
Drawing from 15 years of experience as a personal trainer, Brad offers practical solutions tailored for those over 40 who want to stay fit while enjoying their social lives. His advice includes experimenting with low-sugar or low-calorie alternatives, being mindful of meal timing, and using simple hacks to manage cravings and hunger.
Listeners are encouraged to join his Facebook group, explore his favorite fitness tracker (Whoop 4.0), and book a free 15-minute consultation to personalize their fitness journey.
This episode is packed with actionable advice to help listeners tackle these everyday struggles while maintaining balance and enjoyment in life.
