It’s common to see people performing a barbell squatting with running shoes on, yet that’s probably the worst shoe to wear for squats. When we squat, we want a stable foot and solid base to maximise force transfer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A running shoe is designed to absorb the impact when your foot makes contact with the ground, so if you’re squatting in them is a bit like trying to squat whilst standing on a mattress. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A weightlifting shoe is perfect for squatting as it has a hard sole. They also allow you to stay a bit more upright and squat deeper due to the raised heel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When deadlifting, you want a hard sole to maxmise force transfer, but want to avoid a raised heel as this will increase your distance from the ground, meaning you have to move the weight further to lock out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you understand the struggle to get shredded
-
Comment down your favourite summer 2019 YouTube shredding series!
-
Tag your fat loss friend!

While I have thoroughly enjoyed watching YouTube stars like @christianguzmanfitness, @merijn and @glennfitness etc get stupidly lean this summer, it’s important you guys know this takes extreme dedication, willpower, and honestly a massive mental struggle.
-
Getting down to single digit body fat levels will inevitably require a caloric deficit, hours of cardio, macro tracking and needless to say, resistance training. However, this brings with it some horrible side effects - sleepless nights, mood swings, low energy and sex drive to name a few.
-
While getting shredded is necessary for bodybuilding competitions or fitness photo shoots, the average male/female should avoid levels of leanness that bring such side effects, and when aiming for physique goals such as a summer beach body aim for body fat levels around the 10-12% mark and allow yourself to hover back up to around 15% for the majority of the year as this will have many health benefits.✅

Congratulations @shawleycoker, @brandonhardbody and anybody else who competed and won their shows, you killed it!

Unfortunately, you are NOT going to hear from you body: “Dear John, please start eating 25 kcal per day to lose body fat, or eat 5 g of complex carbohydrates per kg to enhance athletic performance, or keep a diary as science has clearly stated that is one of the most powerful transforming habits” Don’t let ambiguous ideas take control of your life. Step up and start doing what is MORE likely to work in your life. You have the power and you’re extremely important to let chances decide your life

Desafortunadamente, no vas a despertar un día y tú cuerpo te va a decir: “ Querido Juan: tienes que consumir 25 kcal por kg al día para perder grasa, o tienes que consumir 5 g de carbohidratos complejos por kg al día para mejorar tu desarrollo atlético, o por favor escribe un diario de metas ya que la ciencia ha demostrado que es uno de los hábitos más poderosos para transformar tu salud” No dejes que ideas ambiguas tomen control de tu vida. Toma el primer paso y empieza a planear tu vida con hábitos que tienen la capacidad de ayudarte en este nuevo camino. Recuerda que eres demasiado importante para dejar tu vida al azar.
Do you know how to make muscle gains as a single parent
-
Comment down below how you fit in your workouts!

Tag your single parent friends!

Being a single parent can make it almost impossible to find the time to workout. Juggling work, and looking after the kids at their different schools and different clubs can make your life revolve around working, cooking, cleaning and being a taxi service so how are you meant to find the time to go to the gym and focus on your diet plan
-
Firstly with regards to training if you can make it to the gym great do so, however if you can’t invest in some home gym equipment (pull up bar, dumbbells, multifunctional cable machine), place your gym session at a time where your kids are preoccupied e.g sleeping or playing. I’d also recommend trying to specialise in body weight exercises such as push ups and train a full body or upper lower split.️♀️
-
When it comes to meals eat a quick, easy breakfast such as porridge and a protein shake as this may be a time of running around after the children. Try to make yourself something healthy to eat for dinner if your kids are eating something like chips/pizza etc and when your kids go to bed cook your final meal of the night and prep your lunch for the following day.✅

Are you finding it hard to consume enough protein in a day? The reason you’re struggling is that you’re not planning ahead. You’re going with the flow and by the end of the day, you’re well off your protein goal for the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you look at what a full day of protein looks like listed out, it doesn’t look so bad. Now if you can start to plan ahead, it will help you to segment your protein periodically throughout the day so you are not far behind come the end of the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once you establish a routine, you will be much more consistent with your protein intake. Consistency is key for achieving any goal, and so is high protein. Start to structure your meals and snacks, and be more prepared for the day so that you can start hitting your protein goal on a daily basis.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You cannot target fat loss at a particular area of your body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether it's love handles, man boobs, fat legs, bingo wings or a big belly, there's nothing you can do to specifically remove fat from that area.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You just have to focus on creating a calorie deficit, and losing fat all over your body, and then eventually you will remove all the fat from the problem area!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At last! Orthomolecular nutrition expert and therapist, a title I can wear with pride now
.
.
.
It has been a long journey but very enriching. The belief ‘you are what you eat and digest’ began to grow on me when I was young. I started to read all about it and came across the orthomolecular sciences at the age of 16. I knew what I wanted to study. Before I could study it, I needed a bachelor. Which led me to go and study nutrition science. It gave me a foundation. But I needed more. What nutrients can we find in each food? What do the nutrients do on cellular level? Why are many diseases difficult to cure? Can we prevent and cure diseases with food and habits? After my thesis about food and depression I was ready to go for it! I started my postgraduate for orthomolecular sciences 2 years ago and graduated succesfully
.
.
Fixing our metabolisms and keeping it balanced for a healthy self is one thing. Making sure the food and nutrition pleases our tastebuds is another. With the Foodgician we merge those two aspects together. I am more than gratefull and keen to keep merging it at its best and providing you with the best serviceON TO THE NEXT!

400th post!!!
That's 400 unglamorous and very average pictures of me, but 400 unbiased and very important health messages.
I know that over the past 2 years my messages have been read by tens of thousands of people (which I'm bloody proud of!), but I also know that this is just a drop in the ocean.
Our world is increasingly being influenced by social media personalities, and unfortunately it's often the loudest voice in the room that has the most influence, rather than the most credible.
Every single time we 'like', 'share', and even view someone's content on social media, we are giving legitimacy to that individual's platform, we're supporting their message, and we're very often making them (and their collaborators) money.
Make no mistake, your click counts!!
The types of people you follow, the messages you read, and the content you consume greatly influences your individual opinions and values, it effects your purchasing decisions, and it changes our society.
We live in a world where a girl who streaked across a football pitch gathered 3 million followers in a single day, while the world's best female footballer, Sam Kerr, only has 150,000 followers.
⚽
It's a world where Cindy Crawford, an outspoken but uninformed antivaxer advocate, has twice as many followers as The World Health Organisation.
It's a world where a single tweet from Kylie Jenner was enough to wipe over $1 Billion off the value of Snapchat.
Your click counts.
⚠️
So thank you to all those who follow me, or have shared my messages over the past 2 years.
❤️
Dr. Dan

How to start getting fitter
If you’re struggling to build momentum to reach your fitness goals you will benefit from breaking them down and forming smaller habits week by week rather than trying to make huge behavioural change in one go.
Implement the following habits to make a permanent change and stopping spinning your wheels
1 - Focus on your food
The most important decision you make each day is what to eat. Keep your nutrition simple. If you’re goal is to lose weight, create a small calorie deficit and focus on eating satiating foods to make dieting easier
2 - Improve your sleep
Sleep has a big impact on how we feel and perform, so don't neglect it!
3 - Make exercise a habit
You don’t need to start a workout program that requires you to go to the gym 5X a week, you just need to start making time to exercise and actually doing it
4 - Stick to a simple program
Keep your program basic and focus on making it specific to your goals. There are a lot of complex programs around but the best focus on doing the basic exercises well.
5 - Apply progressive overload
As your body adapts to your training plan it is important to keep ensuring workouts get harder to make progress. Keep a log of your previous workouts, and aim to do slightly more than you did last time!
6 - Make a permanent change
By changing bad habits one by one you’ll have a lot more success in making a real long-lasting change that is sustainable, enjoyable and realistic.
