RNT Fitness Radio

Welcome back to RNT Fitness Radio. Today, I'm joined by Coach Ivan, who's flown in all the way from Australia to spend a few days with us here in the UK. While he's over, we decided to hit record on a conversation we've been having behind the scenes — all about the concept of performance without pressure. For most of my life, I've thrived on pressure. Big goals. High stakes. All-or-nothing thinking. It's driven a lot of what I've achieved. But recently, I've started to question whether that pressure is still serving me — or if it's just a part of an old identity I've outgrown. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to perform at a high level without constantly chasing, grinding, or forcing outcomes. It's a reflective and real conversation, and I hope it sparks something for you too. Let's dive in.   Chapters: 00:00 Performance Without Pressure 02:59 The Journey of Self-Discovery 10:13 The Importance of Enjoying the Process 18:26 Redefining Goals and Expectations 26:12 Finding Balance in Performance and Enjoyment 30:34 Intelligent Training and the Role of Coaching 31:45 Rediscovering Joy in Fitness 32:42 Identity Shifts and Personal Growth 33:37 The Balance of Performance and Enjoyment 36:01 The Pressure of Performance Metrics 37:40 The Importance of Rest and Recovery 38:11 Finding Fun in Work and Life 41:31 The Journey Over the Destination 43:08 Reframing Health and Fitness Goals 46:41 Gratitude and Perspective in Fitness 51:08 Experimentation in Training and Nutrition 55:23 Urgency in Weight Loss vs. Performance Goals   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

Hey, it's Akash here, and on this week's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm bringing back a classic - a rerun of what's still the most popular team episode we've ever recorded.   It's called “What Typical Mindfulness Is Missing”, and over the years, it's racked up tens of thousands of downloads. I think it struck it chord when it dropped because it tackled a conversation we have often behind the scenes at RNT - the idea that you can't just think your way to a transformation. Mindfulness is powerful, and it absolutely has its place. But on its own, it's not enough. Just like physical change isn't the full picture either. What we're really after - and what this episode explores - is a holistic approach that blends mind, body, and action. This originally aired four or five years ago, but the message is just as relevant today - if not more. I hope you enjoy revisiting it.   Chapters: 00:00 The Journey of Self: Body and Soul Connection 02:03 Introspection and Action: The Transformation Formula 04:43 The Power of Journaling: A Personal Practice 08:41 Finding Presence: Mindfulness in Daily Activities 10:50 Individuality in Practices: Tailoring Your Journey 16:29 Facing Stress Head-On: The Importance of Action 21:34 Breaking the Cycle: Moving Beyond Victimhood 25:42 Ownership and Transformation: The Key to Progress 30:07 Physical as the Vehicle: Health and Higher Consciousness 32:07 Mindfulness and Physical Health Connection 35:04 The Importance of Physical Health for Mental Resilience 39:35 Balancing Work and Recovery 42:00 Creating Effective Evening Routines 48:40 Prioritising Health and Self-Care   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

In today's episode we dive into the benefits, risks and realities of modern weight loss drugs. Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro have hit the world by storm, and as they become more accessible, will only continue to do so. There's a lot of stigma and misunderstanding about them, and their side effects, so we wanted to share a balanced approach to how they could be integrated into a fitness journey. On a mass general population level, they'll be a game changer in reducing obesity - you can get all the benefits of diet and exercise without doing much. If you're listening to this however, you want a more holistic approach to your transformation, so we share insights into who it may be useful for, why and how it could be utilised, or not. Remember, a lifestyle-first approach focusing on long-term habit building and identity integration is always going to be key if you want to be a high performer in every area of life.

Today I'm joined by four time RNT Transformation Award Winner, Dr Maneesha Ahluwalia, who's absolutely crushing it in the Investment Phase of her journey. A year of from her recent checkpoint, she's starting to find her “sweet spot” body composition - this is where you look, feel and perform at your best, and things start to become intuitive. In this conversation we go deep into her story - especially how she's managed to find control over decades of stress eating from her life as a physician. If you haven't listened to the first time Maneesha was on, go check out episode 243 from the end of 2021. Her growth has been phenomenal to see, as she continues to thrive in business, in her tennis competitions, and in her personal life.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

If you're listening this, chances are you don't just want to get into the best shape of your life. You want to figure out how to stay in great shape without too much effort.

Pandian, a dedicated father of two, was at a breaking point. His health was suffering. Poor habits and a fatty liver caused constant digestive issues. He lacked energy, confidence, and avoided social situations like the beach or pool. When his son asked him to get fit and healthy, Pandian knew he had to change—not just for himself, but for his family. Encouraged by the incredible results his wife and friends achieved with RNT, Pandian took the leap. And the results have been extraordinary: - Lost over 20kg - Completely reversed his fatty liver - Improved sleep quality and energy levels - Gained confidence he never thought possible - Achieved a better work-life balance But the most meaningful change? Pandian now has more time and energy to spend with his family than ever before. With RNT's guidance, he learned how to build habits that transformed his life.  Today, he feels healthier, happier, and more present for his loved ones.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

In this episode of RNT Fitness Radio we're going to share the big 3 mistakes people make after they lose weight.   Truth is, most people who lose weight end up back to square one either immediately, or after they experience a death by a thousand cuts. The trick is to make maintenance sexy by recalibrating your lifestyle.   You may have seen me talk about going on long travel trips abroad without tracking anything, and maintaining a lean physique. This doesn't happen by accident, or restriction, or anything necessarily tactical.   It happens by doing what we talk about in this episode.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

2024 has been a year of three seasons. It started with a 3 month “bucket list” adventure with my wife and at the time, my 8 month old daughter. The transition back to the UK summer produced a 4-6 month focused stint on improving specific aspects of the business. By the end, my next physical challenge for 2025 gave birth: running a sub 3 hour marathon. Going into 2024, I wanted the chapter to be called “The Year Of The Fun CEO”, so let's see what I learnt along the way…I've broken it down into 12 lessons, covering business, fitness and life.

In this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by Arti and Vinay Shah from Uganda who started their RNT journeys in 2024, and have completely transformed their mind, body and lifestyles. After Vinay's brother had a heart attack, he was propelled into taking action on getting back control of his health, especially as his doctor was pushing him to take statins for his cholesterol. Arti, on the other hand, always thought she was healthy given her vegan diet. Whilst she joined initially to support Vinay, she quickly realised how much she had to gain from a proper nutrition strategy and a lifestyle change. This episode is a great example of going all in on your transformation as a couple. Arti and Vinay have just renewed into the second year of their journeys, and I'm excited to see how their journey progresses!   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

On today's episode I'm joined by RNTer Sohan, who was shocked when he completed a DEXA scan in the middle of 2023. He had no idea how high his body fat had gotten. A highly demanding travel schedule for his work meant that: 1) Time was limited. 2) He never knew what choices to make when on the go. The DEXA was the wake up call Sohan needed. Because he wanted to feel good about himself inside and out. That's when he stumbled across RNT after hearing about us from a friend. With the RNT Method, Sohan realised he could lose weight, travel and maintain his work schedule with ease. He started eating and training to create a lean physique that he'd always dreamed of. Sohan managed to create a brand-new lifestyle that fit around his chaotic work schedule without any issues. The results from his next DEXA scan showed how far he had come. Sohan lost 20 lbs of body fat in just 6 months! But that's not all, as you'll discover in this episode, as we dive into his cholesterol markers, and how the RNT method can improve so many different aspects of health and longevity.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

I got a crazy transformation to share with you today. It's about Manav, a busy cosmetic doctor and father-of-two who was completely burnt out at the end of 2023. After being too exhausted to play with his kids, Manav knew something had to change (he tells me in this podcast he was literally laying on the sofa!). He didn't want to miss out on watching them grow up simply because he wasn't fit enough to keep up. But getting in shape wasn't as easy as he thought. ..Manav had tried various weight loss solutions in the past, but nothing ever stuck. He wanted to be in better shape—for good this time. That's when he came across RNT. After reading our book, ‘Transform Your Body, Transform Your Life,' Manav decided to give it his all. The rest is history. He's down 26kg whilst balancing a crazy work schedule, family life, and frequent travel. The structure and routine he followed through the RNT process made his entire life simpler and more efficient. Manav pushed himself to places he never thought possible.  Today, he's rocking a six-pack, feels more productive than ever, and has newfound confidence in every area of his life. But most importantly… Manav now has the time and energy to spend with his family. He's no longer missing out on precious moments with his kids, and he's looking forward to seeing just how far he can go on his fitness journey. If you're ready to take control of your health and transform your life like Manav, this episode is one you won't want to miss.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

Before 2014, I thought it wasn't possible. Until I won a bodybuilding competition - the most extreme of all body transformations - whilst eating a South Asian diet every single day. I haven't looked back since. And in the past 10 years I've been able to help 100s, if not 1000s, get into the best shape of their life doing the same. One thing to remember is South Asians love their food. But they probably love to feed others even more. Trying to tell a South Asian that to get into (and stay in) shape you need to give up South Asian food is crazy.  Of course, there will be certain things that just aren't on the cards (think burfi, bhajya or halva), but most main dishes can fit a healthy lifestyle with a few simple tweaks. So in this video I'm going to break down the 3 changes you need to make to a South Asian diet if you want to lose weight with it, and of course, keep it off. Discover: The role of South Asian genetics What to do if you have “hard fat” (surprising) What needs to change in South Asian culture to drive better health Tactical protein, fat and carbohydrate strategies with South Asian food Here's a few extra resources I mention inside: 1.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by long-term RNTer Amisha Patel, who comes onto the podcast for the second time after appearing on episode 205 way back in May 2021 a few months after her first photoshoot. 3.5 years later she talks about how much she's levelled up in every aspect of life: from her career, to her mental health, to her physical strength. Having started by lifting only 20kg, she's now hip thrusting 170kg, deadlifting 100kg, and is a great example of what's possible when you go all in on strength training. Hearing stories of RNTers keeping the weight off by following the five-phase process is what this is all about, so if you want to see what's possible when you commit to the long-term journey, Amisha's story is amazing.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

I'm not going to bore you with another podcast on the benefits of sleep, and why you should be sleeping more. In a perfect world, we never use alarm clocks, sleep as much as we need, and go to bed early in a nice relaxed state. But if you're listening to this, chances are you're in the real world. One with pressures, a stressful job or business, young kids and let's face it… a busy lifestyle.  Just like the 4000 busy professionals my team and I at RNT Fitness have helped to lose 20-60+lbs, keep it off, and build healthier, fitter lives. Most people I know in this real world sleep less than they should be. And for most I know who don't sleep enough, it's not always because they're bingeing on Netflix or mindlessly scrolling. If that is the case, then stop this podcast and fix that first. Instead, it's because they've got a lot to do. Or they have young kids who wake up early. Or their business or career just requires a lot of their time. I saw this first hand growing up watching my mum build her business while looking after the family, waking up at 3-4 am daily because she needed those extra hours awake. For others, especially in the corporate world, staying late at work is seen as a necessity (even if they're not being productive), and it's completely out of their control as to when they can leave.  Which is why the advice of ‘just go to sleep earlier' isn't always sensible. If this sounds like you, then you need to learn how to sleep faster and maximise the time you do spend on a pillow. Sleep is important, so if you want to improve your fitness and wellbeing on less than optimal sleep, the six strategies in this podcast may be worth trying.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

Pooja was fairly active but didn't like how she looked. Even though her diet was “healthy”, her weight went up and down. As she was getting older, Pooja also began to see more and more people around her become plagued with health problems. She wanted more for herself. After seeing her friend's incredible transformation with RNT, nothing was stopping her from joining! Using our 3 pillar framework, RNT transformed the way that Pooja viewed fitness. Instead of just spending hours doing cardio, she learned the importance of strength training. Instead of yo yo dieting, she understands nutrition and real healthy eating. Pooja's a new woman. She now feels more confident in her body; leaner, strong and energised; healthy and free from crash diets. Her transformation led her to a photoshoot where Pooja felt fantastic in front of the camera! In this podcast we go deep into her journey and its impact on her family, her spiritual journey and how the last 2.5 years have been with us at RNT.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

When Alka had to ask the flight attendant for a seat belt extension her first time going abroad after COVID, she was mortified. Her health issues like high blood pressure and high cholesterol were getting worse, along with an underactive thyroid she had developed after her pregnancy. The pressures of her hectic city job alongside parenting and caring for family members took its toll on both her mental and physical health. Alka knew she'd let things go too far and needed to make a change. But even after Alka began exercising in high intensity gym classes, she developed plantar fasciitis (foot pain while walking.) As a working mum, she needed a weight loss plan that would adapt to her vegetarian diet, which felt impossible to find. She felt at a loss of what to do. Weight loss felt completely out of reach in her circumstances. This was when she discovered RNT. The guidance and education from her program took out all of the guesswork of her journey. She focused on improving her health and strength through the tried and tested formula to achieve fantastic results. With RNT, Alka went from 127 kg to 67 kg! She learned how to eat well and maintain diligence to achieve great results. The new habits Alka's created have set her up for a long and healthy life to make more memories with her son and family.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

Welcome to Episode 400 of RNT Fitness Radio - what a cool milestone to reach. Whether it's your 1st or your 400th episode with us, thank you for being here - your support really means the world. I'm back in London now after an amazing retreat we hosted on the East Coast of the US and damn, what a great few days! I want to give a big shout out to the RNTers who made it out there. We had an idea of how we thought the weekend would unravel…But it surpassed all our expectations! With it being Episode 400, I thought of no better way to mark the occasion than to recap the trip and dive into a few topics we covered whilst out there. The retreat was based in New Jersey, where we hiked a nature reserve before diving into the infamous Enter The Void workshop. 30 RNTers from around the US came together to experience something they'd never done before…The Void. This is the moment when you're so dialled into a set during a workout you forget about everything. Your mind is blank. This state is why I love all forms of training. It's my goal to “get there” each time. And in this workshop I wanted more of the RNTers to experience this. Once you have this down, your results in every aspect - mentally, physically, spiritually… just skyrocket. From the Void, we hosted a Live Group Coaching Session, which blended into dinner and a few drinks in the evening. Hearing stories, seeing breakthroughs, and witnessing the transformations is why we do what we do at RNT. Topics which came up a lot on the weekend included building a new identity, managing lifestyle demands, and more than anything… what it takes to create your perfect lifestyle solution. In this podcast we dive into each of these. Going on a transformation journey can be a lonely experience when you're around friends and family who might not “get” what you do. One of the best things to come from the weekend was the idea of “normalising” a lifestyle where you put your health and fitness number 1. So now we're busy planning one more workshop in London towards the tail end of the year before creating the events calendar for 2025. Huge thank you again to all the RNTers who attended, and to you for coming along the ride of 400 episodes and counting with us here on RNT Fitness Radio!   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

Are you struggling with constant hunger while trying to lose weight? Or just battling endless cravings with your busy lifestyle? You're not alone. That's why in this podcast I share 10 surprising ways to reduce hunger & cravings you may not have considered. Here's a sneak peak of the first five: 1. Drink Green Tea or Coffee: Not only do they have numerous health benefits, but they also work wonders as appetite suppressants. 2. Celery Sticks with Black Pepper: This low-calorie snack tricks your body into feeling full while delivering valuable fibre. 3. Psyllium Husk: A simple addition to your meals that expands in your stomach, keeping you satisfied longer. 4. Diet Fizzy Drinks: In moderation, they can squash appetite and lift your mood without adding extra calories. 5. Delay Your First Meal: Shortening your eating window can help you feel fuller throughout the day. I've got 5 more.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by Rima Patel, who comes on to share her incredible journey with us at RNT. After winning one of our unprecedented giveaways in 2022, she joined with the goal to get into the best shape of her life. Rima was raising two children after a divorce trying to balance work and family. She hadn't felt good in her body after her two pregnancies but she didn't feel like she had any time to focus on her health. She'd tried many “quick fix” diets and exercise programmes but none of them seemed to stick. Rima was insecure in the way that she looked and wanted a change that would stick for good. And after going all in on the RNT Method, she has found a way to do it all…The programme allowed her to balance time with her family, work and time to exercise in a way that would last. Her 12kg weight loss was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of her results. Now 20 months into her journey, Rima's strength has gone through the roof! In fact, she'll share a story in this podcast from a recent trip to India which will share the power of this transformation better than I can do with this introduction.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

This week on RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by long-term RNTer Sameer Kotecha, who joins us to share his journey of initially losing 30kg with us in his first year at RNT, before going on to improve his physique AND keep it off in the four years since. Sameer's journey is an excellent example of executing our Five Phase Method to perfection. Prior to joining Sameer was a new dad working a busy job living a hectic lifestyle where naturally, bad habits creeped in. After seeing a friend go on the RNT Journey, he decided he wanted to make a change. Throughout the five years, he's moved countries twice, home five times and welcomed another beautiful addition to the family. Residing in Singapore, Sameer shares how powerful online coaching can be, as well as how there's never a good or bad time to do this, only the opportunity you have in front of you. I'd highly recommend checking out the case study linked in description, as the pictures over the five years are truly remarkable.

After over 3700 body transformations in the last 7 years, here's 9 things I've changed my mind about. A few weeks ago one of our members at RNT Fitness (have the logo pop up) asked me: “What have you changed your mind about since some of your earlier podcast episodes?” This got me thinking on a different time horizon to normal. I usually think of the mistakes and things I've changed my mind about from 10-15 years ago, but a 3-6 year timescale made this an interesting exercise. Especially when considering I started the podcast at the back end of 2017, and we're now over 380 episodes deep. In this podcast I'm going to share 9 things I don't recommend for health, fitness and sustainable weight loss anymore.

Payal grew up underweight with poor eating habits. But in her mid-thirties, she suddenly shot up in weight with very little muscle gain. Despite her best efforts in gym classes, nothing seemed to give her the body she was looking for. Her menstrual cycle was also inconsistent which was a sign of hormone imbalance. She found that she never looked toned and was always trying for body recomposition. She needed expertise to help her figure out the missing puzzle piece to find what wasn't working. Also concerned about her health because of her family history, Payal decided to jump on board with RNT. With the help of the RNT Process, she learned how to eat and exercise to change her body. Now, Payal has lost 10 kilos and is feeling and looking her best! After joining RNT, Payal has found confidence in herself once again. Not to mention the life-long friends she made along the way through the RNT Community! In this episode we go deep into her story of what's become not only an amazing body transformation, but a mind and lifestyle transformation as well.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn
