#113 - Why your nutrition should be cyclical with Craig McDonald

Most of the women who join our program have cycled through a number of diets that drastically cut calories and/or food groups. I did the same thing for years but when I met Craig and Emma I learnt why this approach never works long term, often leads to more weight gain and it usually leaves women with one or more of these issues: low energy, poor sleep, digestive issues or hormonal imbalances.I was listening to a coaching call Craig did a few weeks ago and one of the clients asked about the 'phases' they get allocated by their coach and why we do this and what phase is appropriate when?So I thought it would be a great opportunity to get Craig on the podcast to discuss the cycles and phases of nutrition and when they are appropriate.In this episode, we chat about:➡️What the nutrition phases are and when they are appropriate➡️Healthy body fat ranges➡️How nutrition contributes to muscle growth➡️When is a calorie surplus appropriate?➡️How the fat loss phase works and when is it appropriate?➡️How to figure out your maintenance calories➡️Why you shouldn’t have to ever do drastic calorie cuts for long periods➡️Is it possible to build muscle while losing body fat?Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

#112 - Why quick fix diets & a tonne of cardio will never get you the body or health you want with Stan Efferding

SOOOOOOOOOOOO exciting to have had Stan on the podcast.We love big Stan and not just because he's the world's strongest bodybuilder and the creator or the cooler 🤣 Craig did his best Stan impersonation on the podcast....nearly as good as the real thing!Big Stan has been training women for bodybuilding comps since 1989 so he knows a thing or two about getting strong and getting lean.He's also the creator of the Vertical diet, which like our approach is built on a foundation of bioavailable nutrients to optimise the metabolism and digestion 👊 while helping people build healthy lifestyles and sustainable habits.Like Craig and I, Stan is also passionate about helping people before they experience tragic health issues due to restrictive dieting, so it was awesome to get him on the podcast to go over all of this. In this episode, we discuss:➡️Why carbs, such as fruit and potatoes, are important➡️Why the only way to change your body is by building muscle➡️What variety of foods you should include in your diet to optimise your metabolism and digestion➡️Why eating adequate calories is essential➡️The benefits of bioavailable animal protein and dairy➡️The importance of tracking and meal prepping➡️Eating the same thing every day and how this can be beneficial➡️Why Stan recommends 10-minute walks➡️The benefits of saltHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

#105 - Coming off Keto, fixing her cycle issues and changing her body composition with a Pro-metabolic approach with Renee McDonald

I love Renee. She is so awesome. Renee is actually 35 years old with 5 kids AND she works as a midwife. It’s really incredible how she’s managed everything. She started with our challenge, then entered the WinAtLife program.Renee was one of those women who came and really applied herself. She had already been going to the gym 5 years prior to starting with us, but she had gone through all the diets, from low carb to keto and more. Renee says she would get great results and lose body fat but it was never sustainable and she would then have to do yet another challenge or diet. She also suffered from cycle issues and PMS and her doctor was trying to get her to take anti-depressants. She wanted to find a sustainable approach where she could change her body composition and fix her cycle issues.Today, she’s been in our program for 12 months. In this episode, Renee and I chat about:➡️Her chronic fatigue issues➡️Symptoms she experienced on other diets and her keto stint➡️Positive changes she’s seen in the program and how she's put on 3.5kgs of muscle training less➡️Renee’s body composition changes and how people come up to her in the gym and ask if she is competing➡️How she manages her time with the program, her 5 kids, and work as a midwife➡️What it’s been like doing a program online➡️Advice for women who have just started this journey or who are struggling to make progressAnd more!Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.
