MEDITATION AND WEIGHT LOSS The good news is that there is a connection between meditation and weight loss! The reason that meditation is so powerful is that it helps the conscious and unconscious mind agree on changes we want to apply to our behaviour. These changes could be a number of factors such as cravings for unhealthy food or control of eating behaviours. It’s important to get your unconscious mind involved because that’s where those bad habits that often cause us t...

HOW TO SUCCEED IN 2018 Let me guess: You want to lose weight, do more exercise or eat healthily in 2018. Self improvement, or at least the desire for it, is a shared hobby for a lot of us. It's why so many of us make New Year's resolutions. But for all the good intentions, only a tiny fraction of us keep our resolutions. Why do so many people fail at goal-setting, and what are the secrets behind those who succeed The explosion of studies into how the brain works has more expert...

SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS IN 2018 In principle, New Year's resolutions are a super idea, after all, what better way to start the New Year than with a fresh outlook on life? However, most people make resolutions with the best of intentions, but often inadvertently set themselves up for failure. The problem is that many resolutions are unrealistic and carried out in a half hearted fashion. To set yourself up for success, write down your goals, share them with someone to ...

POST CHRISTMAS RECOVERY PLAN We have reached that time of the year when many of us will have either eaten too much or drunk too much or, in all likelihood, both. Overindulgence is as much a part of the festivities as exchanging presents and we’re all too familiar with the consequences of this excess. After all the Christmas celebrations our bodies need to relax and unwind. There is only one time of the day when body and mind are both totally relaxed and that is when we are ...

MERRY FITNESS Christmas is just about here, and that can mean neglected fitness regimes and five-hour TV marathons. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With a little forward planning and a teeny bit of self-discipline, it is possible to enjoy a happy and healthy Christmas and enter the New Year feeling fit. Many people will fall off the exercise bandwagon at Christmas, and rule out the idea of getting into shape during the festive period, assuming there is no point in sta...

'TIS NOT THE SEASON TO OVERDO IT At this 'me of the year it’s especially hard to avoid overeating. But let’s be honest, stuffing yourself rotten isn’t limited to just Christmas. Sometimes that family box of Quality Streets becomes a single serving with gut-busting consequences. It’s happened to the best of us. But the real problem is usually what happens afterwards - in our body and in our mind. Are you filled with regret, miserably mulling over starting a juice fas...

WITH THE PARTY SEASON UPON US, ITS TIME TO UNCORK THE TRUTH. We do a lot of drinking during December. In fact the average Brit can drink two or three times their usual alcohol intake over the Christmas and New Year period. According to stats, Brits spend more than 165bn just on the alcohol we drink in our 165 million December pub outings, never mind what we cart home from the shops. So with Christmas only 4 weeks away, what is the best alcohol to drink without sabotaging your...

HOW TO STAY ON TRACK THIS SEASON Even if you have superhuman willpower, the upcoming Christmas season is challenging for everyone. Trying to stay on track can be overwhelming, but, as we all know, excess pounds don't disappear along with the decorations! And anyway, who wants to start the new year seven pounds heavier than they want to be. There’s really no reason to, as you can have fun without throwing away your healthy habits. Start your day with a bang - exercising in t...

GET UP & GO If lack of motivation to exercise is stopping you from getting in better shape, trust me – you are not alone. Many people want to get fitter and healthier but lack the motivation to get started. And even those who start exercising with a lot of enthusiasm can lose motivation after a few weeks. The truth is nobody is always in the mood to exercise, not even those super fit folk. At times they too can’t get off the sofa despite working out for years. Skip...

MUSIC = MOTIVATION There are those who find the incessant beat of music annoying while exercising, and those who just can’t lace up their trainers if their playlist isn’t set. If you fall into the latter, chances are you use music to push yourself to work harder as you train. As well as making you work harder over a longer period of time, music can be a good way to time yourself while doing interval training, by going hard for one song and pulling back during the next. Music ...
