Can you buy anything and everything you want?

For most people, the answer is no.

Most people have some form of income each month. Some people have a fixed and consistent income, whereas for other people it might vary. Either way, the amount they have available to spend each month is largely dictated by this income.

What happens if the amount you spend each month exceeds your income?

You begin to accumulate debt.

The concept of energy balance for weight loss and weight maintenance is no different.

We all have a set amount of energy required to live and perform our daily activities (energy expenditure). For some people the level of energy required remains fairly consistent from day to day. For other people it might vary. Either way, the amount of energy their body requires through food and drink is dictated by their energy expenditure.

What happens if the energy you consume on a daily basis through food and drink exceeds the energy you expend?

You begin to accumulate (increase) body weight.

So what is the solution?

Let’s take a look back at our finances…

How would you go about reducing your debt? You could either earn more money (increase your income), reduce your spending by making some lifestyle changes, or a combination of both.

You might decide to cut down from two cars to one.

You may decide to start cooking more meals from home and eating out less.

You might attend fewer social events. Or holiday less.

Ultimately there are numerous different lifestyle changes available to any individual, and what works best for one person is not necessarily same for the next. We all lead different lives and have different things within our lives which are meaningful to us.

How does this relate to weight loss / weight maintenance?

If your goal is weight loss, you could either increase the amount of energy you use on a daily basis, reduce the energy you take in through food and drink, or a combination of both.

Ultimately there are numerous different lifestyle changes available to any individual, and what works best for one person is not necessarily same for the next. We all lead different lives and have different things in our lives which are meaningful to us.

Let me tell you a story…

Two people have the same goal - to lose weight.

They do the same job and work in the same office.

One person has breakfast at home and drives to work.

The other gets the train and grabs breakfast at the station.

One person sits next to a colleague who loves to bake.

They both regularly attend work lunches with drinks.

One lives alone. The other with a wife and three children.

So, what does this all have to do with weight loss?

A LOT.

One of the biggest mistakes many people make when starting a weight loss journey is focusing on, eliminating, and demonising individual foods and food groups without looking at the bigger picture.

Do you know how many factors in the story impact the DECISIONS we make every day about food?

The answer - ALL of them.

Would these two people need different tools and strategies to help overcome / manage some of the environmental factors in their individual lives to achieve the same weight loss goal?

Yes.

If you need any help with figuring out where to start with your weight loss journey book a free intro chat with a member of our team today at https://aristosfitness.as.me/nutrition-intro.

Who do we help?

Some people who come to us have been a member of a gym previously. Some exercise or play sport on a regular basis; some even compete; whilst others have never been to a gym and do no regular activity.

Some of our members have never been on a diet or worked with a nutritionist, whilst many have tried one or more weight loss strategies previously. Some have tried Slimming World or Weight Watchers; the Cambridge Diet; the latest juice diet; low fat diet or even the cabbage diet; and with varying degrees of weight loss success. Yet many have struggled to maintain the weight loss longer term.

Everyone comes to us with different experiences relating to exercise and nutrition. Everyone has a different lifestyle with different people, careers and interests occupying their time. And everyone has their own individual goals.

We are here to listen to your story. To help you find solutions to your challenges. And to provide support and guidance to help move you closer to those goals.

If you are ready to make a change but need help with where to start, book a free intro chat with a member of our team now at

P.S. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🥳

“How do I get started at your gym?”

We know that getting started at a new gym can be intimidating and can make many people anxious. If this is you, you are not alone!

Our aim at Aristos is to make sure that all of our members find a suitable program for them as an individual, based upon their goals, their previous experience with exercise and their exercise likes / dislikes; and that they feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.

The first step in this process is to book a FREE INTRO chat with a member of our team, to come into the gym (or speak to us over Zoom) about your goals and how we can help you reach them.

Every member who begins any of our fitness programs starts with some 1:1 time on the gym floor with one of our highly trained coaches so we can go through all of the movements with you to make sure you feel happy.

And if you're not ready to come to the gym or your goals would be better supported through working with one of our Aristos nutritionists or coaches remotely, we also have remote options available.

To find out more and take the first step to get started on a new journey, book your free intro chat now at https://aristosfitness.as.me/no-sweat.
