Ep 405 - How to eat South Asian foods to lose weight, get fit and improve your health | (it’s NOT genetics)
Before 2014, I thought it wasn’t possible. Until I won a bodybuilding competition - the most extreme of all body transformations - whilst eating a South Asian diet every single day. I haven’t looked back since. And in the past 10 years I’ve been able to help 100s, if not 1000s, get into the best shape of their life doing the same. One thing to remember is South Asians love their food. But they probably love to feed others even more. Trying to tell a South Asian that to get into (and stay in) shape you need to give up South Asian food is crazy. Of course, there will be certain things that just aren’t on the cards (think burfi, bhajya or halva), but most main dishes can fit a healthy lifestyle with a few simple tweaks. So in this video I’m going to break down the 3 changes you need to make to a South Asian diet if you want to lose weight with it, and of course, keep it off. Discover: The role of South Asian genetics What to do if you have “hard fat” (surprising) What needs to change in South Asian culture to drive better health Tactical protein, fat and carbohydrate strategies with South Asian food Here’s a few extra resources I mention inside: 1.

Ep 403 - 6 Ways To Sleep Smarter And Faster If You Sleep 6 Hours Or Less
I’m not going to bore you with another podcast on the benefits of sleep, and why you should be sleeping more. In a perfect world, we never use alarm clocks, sleep as much as we need, and go to bed early in a nice relaxed state. But if you’re listening to this, chances are you’re in the real world. One with pressures, a stressful job or business, young kids and let’s face it… a busy lifestyle. Just like the 4000 busy professionals my team and I at RNT Fitness have helped to lose 20-60+lbs, keep it off, and build healthier, fitter lives. Most people I know in this real world sleep less than they should be. And for most I know who don’t sleep enough, it’s not always because they’re bingeing on Netflix or mindlessly scrolling. If that is the case, then stop this podcast and fix that first. Instead, it’s because they’ve got a lot to do. Or they have young kids who wake up early. Or their business or career just requires a lot of their time. I saw this first hand growing up watching my mum build her business while looking after the family, waking up at 3-4 am daily because she needed those extra hours awake. For others, especially in the corporate world, staying late at work is seen as a necessity (even if they’re not being productive), and it’s completely out of their control as to when they can leave. Which is why the advice of ‘just go to sleep earlier’ isn’t always sensible. If this sounds like you, then you need to learn how to sleep faster and maximise the time you do spend on a pillow. Sleep is important, so if you want to improve your fitness and wellbeing on less than optimal sleep, the six strategies in this podcast may be worth trying.

Ep 398 - Hall Of Fame | Rima Patel: Single Working Mum Loses 12kg To Change Her Life
On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I’m joined by Rima Patel, who comes on to share her incredible journey with us at RNT. After winning one of our unprecedented giveaways in 2022, she joined with the goal to get into the best shape of her life. Rima was raising two children after a divorce trying to balance work and family. She hadn’t felt good in her body after her two pregnancies but she didn’t feel like she had any time to focus on her health. She’d tried many “quick fix” diets and exercise programmes but none of them seemed to stick. Rima was insecure in the way that she looked and wanted a change that would stick for good. And after going all in on the RNT Method, she has found a way to do it all…The programme allowed her to balance time with her family, work and time to exercise in a way that would last. Her 12kg weight loss was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of her results. Now 20 months into her journey, Rima’s strength has gone through the roof! In fact, she’ll share a story in this podcast from a recent trip to India which will share the power of this transformation better than I can do with this introduction.
