Get outside and See What’s Around The Corner….

3rd September 2014

We've just returned from a weekend in Glasgow where we were presenting and exhibiting at the Scottish Fitness & Nutrition Expo. In total we were in sunny Scotland for 5 days and as much as we would have liked to have taken along our awesome dog Hamish, sadly no dogs were allowed at the Expo meaning we'd have to leave him behind. Fortunately for us, Matt's Mum stepped in as dog sitter for the week. During this time she had a sudden realisation about the wonders of walking which has inspired this post.

5 Tips For A Healthy Holiday

4th July 2014

Ahhh it's holiday time. You’ve been looking forward to this for ages, counting down the days, working hard in the gym and watching what you eat, always with that end goal of looking hot in your bikini or buff in your board shorts. And why not? Who doesn’t want to look and feel good when they hit the beach and enjoy a well deserved break in the sun?

Summer Wine

28th June 2014

A friend of mine told me a story about an old man who lives in the Canary Islands - The man, now in his 90s, walks for 2 hours up and over hills every day to sit on the coast and have a chilled glass of Rioja at sunset. He says he owes it to the wine that he's kept healthy over the years - and although I am inclined to believe it's more because of the walking, I think there's some merit in his answer!

10 habits that made me healthier, leaner, stronger…….

1st August 2013

...full of energy and of course happy! To those who follow Fitter Food or know me personally it's no secret that I tend to eat well most of the time, a diet rich in natural, unprocessed foods with the odd slip up when I walk past an ice-cream parlour. However, this was far from the case 4 years ago.

Steak, Chorizo & Pimped Up Peas

15th April 2013

At Fitter Food if we have the opportunity to cook a dish that involves whacking everything together in one pan we jump at the chance. We don't believe food should be faffy or time consuming and this meal reflects that perfectly. This is a dish that is so easy to do anyone could do it. Super quick yet bursting with flavour. Can you go wrong when chorizo is involved? Not really. Check it out.

What is the purpose of our meals?

27th February 2013

We all eat food, we all need to eat food, we all enjoy food but do we eat food for the right reasons? Sadly for most the answer is no. Many will think the title of this post is a silly question but in my opinion is a very important one.

How do you approach the bar?

11th October 2012

A client of mine Hussain inspired me to write this post. It’s all about how you approach the bar and how the outcome of your lift is often decided long before you wrap your hands around bar. 

There is more to life than bread, chocolate and alcohol.

10th September 2012

We all have our favourite foods, beverages and past times, some are healthier than others but that’s all good. What we do and what we eat has a huge impact on our energy, mood and outlook so it's important we get it right. It's also important that the wrong things don't dictate our emotions.

Try something new

5th September 2012

When was the last time you tried something new? Be it a new sport, a different training regime, intermittent fasting or embarking on a new business venture, maybe something as simple as introducing a daily walk to your routine? I bet there answer is “not for long time” or “I don’t have time to try something new”.
