When it comes to weight loss, you must be in a calorie deficit to lose weight. You can achieve this by either eating less or increasing the amount of exercise you do. A simple guideline is to create a deficit of around 500 calories per day to lose approximately a pound of fat each week. One common mistake most people make is they eat very little and put themselves into an extreme deficit. Not only will this cause you to feel weak, low on energy and possibly lose a large amount of muscle, but you also run the risk of...
When most people start a weight loss phase, the first thing they think of is eating the typical flavourless chicken breast, broccoli and salads for the weeks to come.

Tracking your macronutrient intake is a great way to allow some flexibility into your diet. There are many different apps you can use to track your macros, the most common being My Fitness Pal.

Experts of Healthy Meals Delivered reported that 95% of dieters regain all weight lost within a few years. Scary statistics right? Are all diets doomed to fail? Is it because 95% of people are just plain lazy? It’s a little more complicated than that. Typically, the fitness industry is very quick to blame people for their inability to follow diets. They often write them off as unmotivated, lazy, or undisciplined. To claim that it is always the dieter’s inability to adhere to their plan, and to not question the sustainability of the diet is simply asinine. Diets often fail people...
Experts of healthy meals delivered explain one of the more popular trends in the weight loss industry which is the “Low Carb” approach. Some people default to it the minute they attempt to diet. Who can blame them? In many cases, people are socially conditioned to think that “Low Carb” products are simply better for weight loss. However, to validate such claims, we would need to look at facts. Unfortunately for the anti carb zealots, the evidence simply doesn’t support the recommendation to avoid or cut carbs out from your diet for weight loss. From 2008 to 2013, the number...
Experts of healthy meals delivered explain a common mistake people make who are serious about losing weight. Many people eat according to the weight of their food without knowing its nutritional value.

My weight is inconsistent and goes up and down week after week. It's driving me mad that I just want to give up!" When I ask them how many calories or...
"It's all you!!!" A common term we all hear in the gym from time to time, but is it really all you? Many times people stack on a lot more weight than they can handle and expect the spotter to use their own physical strength with forced reps throughout the entire set. You're in there to lift your own weights and make progress, not see how much you and your spotter can lift together. Forced repetitions can have their place but sometimes people rely on it way too much. Overuse of forced reps is not only an ineffective way of...
