I am a professional racing driver and I was introduced to Chris by my strength and conditioning coach to fine tune my performance/results. I have had nutritional support before but never like Chris. He offers a straightforward approach and is there every step of the way to support you. The results have been great and i feel better than ever within myself. The days of a boring healthy diet have gone! Cant recommend Chris enough.
This week, we explore the compensatory effects in total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) in relation to the amount of exercise performed. In other words, if you burn 1,000kcal through daily training, do you actually burn 1,000kcal more within that day? You would expect so, however humans are highly adaptive. Perhaps this stems back to certain
This week, we examine whether intermittent fasting is superior for both fat loss and health when compared to a typical calorie restricted diet. It’s hypothesized that fasting imparts health related benefits such as improved cardiovascular health and insulin sensitivity. These health benefits are suggested to be independent of weight loss and a calorie restricted diet
This week, we explore the link between diet and mental well-being. From an athlete’s perspective, performing with excellence is mostly biased towards having the correct body composition, meeting fuelling demands and accelerating recovery. Although these are fundamental to success, we can’t maximise athletic performance without health and well-being acting as the foundation. Although the link
This week, we’re continuing our theme of ‘ultra-fast recovery’ and exploring the impact of fruit supplementation on indices of muscle damage. During periods of strenuous training and competition, the muscle is placed under a high degree of strain, especially when loaded eccentrically. As a result, exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) occurs. This results in delayed onset
This week, we explore the ‘4R’ framework to enhance post-exercise recovery in the hours and days following hard training and competition.Your recovery strategies increase in importance as the proximity to the next session decreases and the physiological stress increases. For timely recovery to occur there’s a strong relationship between nutrition and the restoration of physical
This week, we examine a delicious recovery tool for the athlete’s toolbox: Cereal! Following depleting exercise, there’s an opportunity to accelerate glycogen replenishment when high amounts of carbohydrate are provided. Taking advantage of this first phase of glycogen replenishment increases in importance when an athletes next session is within close proximity – same day or
