Check your screen time.
Yep… that’s how many hours you’ve spent scrolling this week.
But no time to train? 🤔

This isn’t about being “too busy” — it’s about choices.
You can find time. You just need to prioritise the most important person in your life:
YOU.

✅ 45 mins in the gym = stronger, sharper, healthier

We’re not here to sugarcoat it. We’re here to help you take control.

🔥 TIP OF THE DAY

Cutting Carbs Will Make You Fatter!
(Yes… really.) in the long run!

Carbs aren’t your enemy — they’re your fuel.
Slash them too low, and here’s what actually happens:

🍞 Your energy crashes
🥵 You struggle to train hard
🍔 Cravings skyrocket
🧠 Your brain fogs over
😵‍💫 You binge… then store more fat

Why?
Because your body gets stressed, holds on to fat, and burns through muscle instead.
And without carbs, you can’t perform — or recover.

⸻

💡 What To Do Instead:

✔ Focus on quality carbs — whole grains, fruit, rice, oats, potatoes
✔ Match carb intake to training intensity
✔ Prioritise protein + fibre at every meal
✔ Avoid extreme low-carb fads — they backfire every time

⸻

⚖️ Carbs don’t make you fat.
Too many calories + too little movement = fat gain.
Cutting carbs might shrink the scale short-term… but it’ll cost you muscle, mood, and metabolism.

⸻

Need help balancing your carbs, calories and training?

Our 8 week challenge and education programme maybe perfect for you!

🍺 WHY IS ALCOHOL SO BAD FOR TRANSFORMATION?

⸻

🔬 1. Alcohol = Metabolic Priority
Your body pauses fat-burning to clear alcohol.
Instead of burning carbs/fat, it burns acetate.
🔥 Fat oxidation drops by up to 75%
🧠 Source: Siler et al., 1999

⸻

💪 2. Kills Muscle Gains
Alcohol blunts the mTOR pathway, reduces amino acid uptake, and raises muscle breakdown markers.
❌ Muscle protein synthesis drops up to 37%
🧠 Source: Parr et al., 2014

⸻

🧠 3. Hormonal Chaos
Testosterone ↓ 23%
Cortisol ↑ (more belly fat)
Growth Hormone ↓ 70% (during sleep)
🧠 Source: Välimäki et al., 1984

⸻

😴 4. Disrupted Recovery
REM sleep tanks = slower muscle repair & fat loss.
Even small amounts affect recovery.
🧠 Source: Roehrs & Roth, 2001

⸻

🥦 5. Nutrient Absorption Drops
B1, zinc, magnesium and protein digestion all impaired.
More effort = less result.

⸻

🧃 6. Cravings & Extra Calories
Alcohol boosts ghrelin (hunger), blocks leptin (fullness), and adds 7kcal per gram.
Poor choices + overeating = setback.

⸻

✅ The Verdict:
You don’t need to quit alcohol forever.
But if you’re serious about:
• Fat loss
• Muscle gain
• Performance
• Health
…then control alcohol = amplify results.
