• EP 73 : Supplements, Meal Prep & Weekend Self Sabotage - Guest chats with Luke O Mahony

  He is back for another episode !! Luke will be a regular feature on the Pod - first Friday of every monthIn this episode, Vikki and Luke discuss the importance of supplements in fitness and health, focusing on electrolytes, creatine, and essential vitamins. They explore the rising popularity of electrolytes, particularly among endurance athletes, and clarify misconceptions about their necessity for the general population. The conversation also delves into the benefits of creatine beyond performance, the importance of vitamin D, and practical meal prep strategies for busy individuals. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the significance of meal prep in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the balance needed in food choices, and the importance of routine in nutrition. They delve into the challenges people face on weekends, emphasising the need for self-reflection and accountability in achieving health goals. The discussion highlights how small changes in habits can lead to significant improvements in overall well-being.Takeaways Electrolytes are crucial for hydration but not always necessary for everyone. Creatine offers benefits beyond performance, including mental health. Vitamin D is essential, especially in regions with limited sunlight. Meal prep can be simplified by focusing on key components rather than full meals. Most people consume enough sodium through their diet, reducing the need for supplements. Hydration markers include urine color and thirst levels. Supplements should complement a balanced diet, not replace it. Creatine can cause temporary water retention but is beneficial for muscle function. Meal prep should be enjoyable and not overly complicated. Using cooking methods like slow cookers can save time in meal prep. Meal prep is crucial for maintaining healthy eating habits. Repetition in meals can lead to better consistency and less decision fatigue. Finding a balance between flexibility and structure in nutrition is key. Weekends often derail progress due to changes in routine. Self-reflection is essential for identifying barriers to success. Accountability helps in staying on track with health goals. Sleep patterns should remain consistent to support overall health. Rewarding oneself with food can lead to unhealthy habits. Small changes in daily habits can lead to significant improvements. Understanding personal barriers is vital for achieving goals.Links & Resources :⁠https://www.instagram.com/vikkicronincoaching?igsh=MWw1YnBhN3F5anplNg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vikkicroninthemacrocoach?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/_.lom__?igsh=eG5vazdkaW5sazUx⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/i__am_lom?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠Thank you for listening.

• Ep 71 : How to Break Free from Yo Yo Dieting for Good

  If you are the person that says on repeat "I will start again Monday" then this episode is specifically for you. In this episode of my Podcast 'Your Mindset Matters', I share my own personal struggles with motivation and the importance of recognising when to take a step back. I deep dive into the cycle of yo-yo dieting, discussing the reasons behind it, such as the desire for quick fixes and the all-or-nothing mindset. We need to break free from this cycle by adopting a sustainable lifestyle approach, focusing on gradual changes, and prioritising how one feels over the numbers on a scale. The episode concludes with actionable steps to create a healthier relationship with food and fitness, encouraging listeners to build a lifestyle rather than just follow another diet.Takeaways Recognize when you need to take a step back. Yo-yo dieting is often driven by the desire for quick fixes. The all-or-nothing mindset leads to self-sabotage. Sustainable weight loss requires a moderate calorie deficit. Focus on adding healthy habits rather than restricting. Your energy levels and confidence are more important than the scale. Small, consistent changes lead to long-term success. Food should be viewed as fuel, not as a source of guilt. Celebrate wins outside of the scale, like improved energy. Building a lifestyle is more important than following a diet.Keywordsyo-yo dieting, sustainable lifestyle, weight loss, mindset, health, nutrition, fitness, coaching, personal development, self-careLinks & Resources⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vikkicronincoaching/profilecard/?igsh=MWw1YnBhN3F5anplNg==⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://themacrocoach.ie/⁠⁠⁠Thank you for listening.
