Eating pre prepared food DISADVANTAGES

if you are relying on  mostly pre prepared meals to make you feel better and perform at a high level, they will not work long term for you despite you having very good intentions and them marketing themselves as healthy. 

If it seems too god to be true such as offering too good to be true healthy cheesecakes, too good to be ready meals with low calories then it usually is.

I would try getting back to basics, porridge for breakfast, jacket potato and things like beans tuna with some greens with it too (spinach etc), and then evening meal be made from scratch, some wholegrain pasta again with a protein source like fish, chicken, turkey etc with more vegetables, keeping your plate as colourful as possible in terms of veg is always a great idea, drink more water and all of this will complement heavily to a great results, as you are working hard at the gym.

Buying in pre prepared foods usually means eating foods that are loaded with chemicals and too much salt, as salt is a natural preservative designed to keep the food edible for an extended period of time.

When you make for from scratch, you know exactly what is going into it.

When you eat from scratch, watch the difference in your workouts compared to the pre prepared foods, there will be a NIGHT AND DAY difference to your energy and performance level overall.

High expectations are good but can overwhelm us too when things don’t go to plan.

The facts are when things don’t always go right, then we don’t need to panic, all we need to do is block out the noise, give 100% and accept what we can’t control, and do our best with what we CAN control.

I don’t know one person who’s life goes perfect all the time, if they do then they are liars. 

If things go wrong, accept you have to knuckle down the next day, do all the things that make you feel better, the things you know that are tried and tested to give you good health, in the brief and knowledge that tomorrow will be better if you stay consistent, stay positive about the process and put any negativity behind you and move swiftly on accepting you aren’t perfect or nobody else’s either.

Our processes are vital and good habits over time will overcome anything, knowing we are slowly but surely getting better in everything we do.

Not long left of 2025, and the question is are you winning 2025 or are you nowhere where you wanted to be.

We have a principle of making small improvements each and every week, so by week 41 I think we are in now, you could have had 41 small improvements, which ends up being one incredible body of work!

Missing workouts, missing a week here and there, having no plan to follow, using a hit and miss approach is a guarantee you won’t near the targets yo use yourself at the start of the year.

With 11 weeks to go until the end of the year, that’s a very decent chunk of time to put it right.

BUT breaking things down into manageable goals is a must at this stage.

SCHEDULE in your workouts, make them non-negotiable meaning they HAVE to happen because you want and need to feel good, you desperately need momentum and you desperately want to finish the year off on a big high.

We have everything in place to get your workouts done on a tried and tested plan that renews each month using the same results based principles. You have it all with your power to execute on it and achieve exactly what yo want out of your health, your fitness and strength levels and your wellbeing as a whole.
