Why is Knowing your Basic Metabolic rate (BMR) Important??
Most people use the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA’s) we see on food packaging to determine their daily calorie needs. You may be overeating every single day by doing this!!! Please be aware…..these are a general guide.

Everybody hits a plateau at some point in their weight loss programme !!!
The human body has the wonderful ability to adjust itself to the stress and load of your current workout programme, known as “Adaptability”.
“Adaptation” of your body to exercise is called hitting a plateau. This means exactly what you visualize, a time spent with no upward or downward progression.
So, how do you know that you’ve hit a plateau and need to make changes to your routine? First and foremost, you have probably stopped seeing any changes. Maybe your clothes don’t feel any looser or you haven’t lost a pound in more than a couple of weeks. These are all signs that you may have hit a plateau.
What needs to be done?
When it comes down to it, all that’s important for weight loss is calories burn versus calories consumed!! Amassing a 1 hour workout is great if you have the time, but what if you don’t? Pulse raisers are a great way to get your daily workout needs in, without taking you away from other priorities.
Antioxidants are a special group of micronutrients that protect the body from a highly destructive process called oxidation. In other words, they prevent our bodies from literally ‘rusting’ up.
Thermogenic foods use more calories to digest than they contain, so when you eat more thermogenic foods, you can lose weight more quickly and easily! Even if you’re not trying to lose weight, eating thermogenic foods on a regular basis can make it easier to maintain your current weight. Digesting the food we eat requires calories, and some foods require more calories to process than others. Thermogenic foods are all very low in calories and high in fibre, so they require lots of calories to digest, making your metabolism work harder! The fibre in thermogenic foods helps you feel full even though you are eating very few calories. This is great for anyone on a long term weight loss plan, as they fit easily into many meals and recipes.
You are probably already eating some Thermogenic foods, but incorporating more of them in your weekly diet routine can have positive effects on your Weight Loss or Weight management….

Stretching after a workout should be an essential part of your routine but often stretching is neglected, especially at the end of a training session! When people do stretch, they often rush through their routine and do not get the full benefit for each one.
