➢ DM “Real Results” to IG to start your journey and get the results you deserve.➢Follow us on Instagram- Instagram (@colossusfit)This podcast episode was inspired from a conversation coach Josh had at the gym. Someone asked, “What do you do for cardio man, what's the secret there?” . It's insanely common to be asked the secret, when in reality there is none.This episode is a reality check for those that are constantly struggling, and may not realize why.1- Your eating patterns are horribleThis is most peoples issue. Some of them know it, but some people may not even be fully aware.You constantly over eat, you drink too much, you snack too often, your protein is too low, etc.2- You have the mindset that there's some sort of secret and are always looking for itThis leaves you chasing the next big thing, wasting time money etc.3- Just not consistent enoughOne week off, one week on. 5 days on, 2 days off, etc4- Allowing your circle to hold you backYou're the average of the 5 people you spend time withIt's possible you get great momentum, build up, then your circle just pulls you back in.Crabs in the bucket analogy5- you're not serious and don't want it bad enoughThanks for listening!

In the latest episode of the Simply Fit Podcast I have the pleasure of speaking with Elly Young. Elly is an alcohol free life coach who focuses on helping women rebalance their hormones. Elly found herself in the common trap that most middle aged women do… Using drink as a reward at the end of the day, feeling constantly sleep deprived and having mental health challenges, all of which she thought was part of the process as a middle aged woman with children. After a failed attempt at Dry January, Elly knew that she couldn't go on this way and committed to turning her life around and embracing the next decade of her life, not enduring it. In this episode you can expect to learn… What is ‘grey area drinking' and why it's likely where you are at the moment. How to not replace your drinking habits with eating habits. Along with how you can start to get your hormones to work with you, not against you as you enter the middle stages of your life. So without further ado, Elly Young.

This journey that I am on being healthy and putting all my energy on being the best version of myself. Pushing to eat right and lift gives me a bigger purpose than to come home and drink. My life in all aspects have changed. - Marc2- Not unique but pre-logging my food really helps. Not that I 100% stick to the pre logged food each day, but it gives my day framework and then I know how I can add or adjust. - Ellen3- Once clothes became too big for me, immediately get new ones and donate the old ones. By doing so, it was a mental thing for me knowing I won't ever need to wear those big clothes ever again, so there's no reason to keep them. If I did keep them, then it would be “okay” if I gained weight again because at least I had clothes to wear. (It worked in my brain haha) -Tayler4- Accountability. When I had to report probably my worst week in the whole process to coach Lauren, I was super embarrassed (like she was my mom

Check out our website to learn more and apply- www.colossusfitness.comWhat is metabolism?How fast your body's "engine" runs on average, over time, determines how many calories you burn. If your metabolism is "high" (or fast), you will burn more calories at rest and during activity. A high metabolism means you'll need to take in more calories to maintain your weight.Allow yourself to go through different phases of the journey. Cutting, maintenance, bulking2- Focus on Building high quality muscleMuscle burns more calories at rest than fat does, so incorporating strength training into your exercise routine can help increase your metabolism. Include exercises like weight lifting, bodyweight exercises, or resistance band workouts.3- Stay ActiveIncorporate physical activity into your daily routine by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking or biking instead of driving short distances, and finding ways to move throughout the day.4- Increase Protein intakeProtein requires more energy to digest compared to carbs or fat, so including protein-rich foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts in your diet can help boost your metabolism.5- Stay Hydrated-Drinking enough water is essential for a healthy metabolism. Even mild dehydration can slow down your metabolism, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.6- Get Enough Sleep:Lack of sleep can disrupt your metabolism and lead to weight gain. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to support a healthy metabolism.7- Manage Stress:Chronic stress can lead to hormonal imbalances that can slow down your metabolism. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or spending time in nature.Remember that individual metabolism can vary based on factors like age, genetics, and body composition. It's essential to focus on overall health and well-being rather than solely on boosting metabolism for weight loss.Thanks for listening!

Visit www.colossusfitness.com to learn more about our guaranteed online coaching service.Summary of episode:While we've both successfully undergone many shred phases, we wanted to shed light on some important factors to get success right away, and allow it to compound.Listed points:1- Actually FULLY commit/Don't allow any reason for you to push it back.-Half in and half out is one of the worst things you can do.-How you start is incredibly important2- Start by making changes that aren't insanely drastic.Ex- for breakfast, cutting out a bit of add ons to my greek yogurt.Afternoon snack being switched out, less toppings on turkey burger, etc-People tend to overcomplicate it thinking they need to start eating entirely different, when this really isn't the case.3 - Don't be afraid to ask for help.-Check out our website and fill out a form.

➢Dm us “Fat Loss” on IG @ColossusFit , 3 more spots opened up.Summary of episode:The goal of this episode is give you higher level nutrition strategies that will actually make a difference on your journey.It's so easy to focus on meal timing, type of diet etc that won't actually make much change on your journey, but this should absolutely help.1- Focus on calories in vs. calories outThis one isn't quite as easy as it sounds, or the other tips but definitely the most important. So many variables come in between watches lying to us, food labels, etc.Aim to use measuring cups, food scales, and track everything for maximum accuracy.Big takeaway- Keep track of the data and you'll notice trends.2- Don't sweat the small stuff.Most companies will attempt to get you to part with your hard earned money by using enough scientific terms and big words to make you focus on small stuff so they can sell you fad diets, or supplements.95% of people spend most of their time focusing on the last 5% rather than focusing on what really matters: consistency, adherence, hard work, sustainability, and tenacity. Don't let your self get suckered.3- Focus on food densitySimply put this means that there are low calories in large amount of food. Low energy density means there are few calories in a large amount of food.Easy way to help feel fuller on fewer calories.Some examples- Water, Fish, Lean meat and poultry, brown rice, sweet potato, basically all veggies, low fat popcorn, etcHere's a quick example with raisins and grapes. Raisins have a high energy density — 1 cup of raisins has about 480 calories. Grapes have a low energy density — 1 cup of grapes has about 104 calories.4- Aim to snack less or minimize snackingThe more used to doing this, you'll always be looking for food around the house and just eat a bunch of randomness, especially when hungry.I prefer 3 solid meals with 1 solid snack.4.5 Eat at roughly the same time as usual if possible.5- Pre log and planOne of the most underrated strategies to help you succeed and stay on track.If you're reactive vs. proactive, you'll be highly misguided.6- Learn to be okay eating the same foodsIt's been said that we make 200 decisions related to food a day, by eating more of the same foods, we can help minimize that.An easy way to help this remembering all the benefits of the food that you're having and all the great stuff it will do for your body.Within each meal, ask yourself - what value is this added for me, or what purpose?This teaches you to learn A LOT vs. blindly following a meal plan and allows you to build up the habits.Thanks for listening!

KEY WORD: 'Challenge” (last chance)Summary of episode: This podcast is inspired from someone that recently messaged us saying their hunger was out of control. No matter what they did. Here are a few tips that can help you with this.1- Eat MindfullyPay attention to what and how much you're eating. Avoid distractions like watching TV or using your phone while eating. Chew your food slowly and savor each bite.2- EAT BETTER FOOD!!!Prioritize protein, eat enough fibre & drink lots of water3- Understand the difference between tolerable and intolerable hunger4- Get rid of the liquid/empty calories5- Cut out the mindless snacking & have regular consistent mealsAs Huberman says, “eat like an adult.”Eating regular, balanced meals and snacks can help stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent extreme hunger, which can lead to overeating.6- Manage Stress & Get Enough SleepLack of sleep can disrupt hunger hormones, leading to increased appetite.
