I constantly hear about the national obesity epidemic in Australia and I am actually disgusted to learn that we have become one of the fattest nations in the world. Can you believe that it has come to this? In a country where junior sports is so prevalent and so much a way of life that we would grow up to be some of the fattest people in the world.
Breakfast drinks, breakfast bars and snack bars becoming a huge growth area in convenience/fast foods. They promote themselves as fast nutrition for people who lead busy lives, especially on the way to and from the gym or even worse for those of you who don’t make the time to cook a decent breakfast and have to rush to work in the morning. They are quick and easy meal replacements and I think that they are paving the way towards a generation with bad diet and nutrition habits and obesity.

Having a few drinks is harmless right? Yet, alcohol use, particularly excessive alcohol consumption is one of the most serious health risks in the world. Me, I couldn’t really give a shit about that (I don’t actually think any of the people I train drink excessively, well at least none of them are drunks) and I am not writing this article to put you all off drinking alcohol. I mean if I did that I would start losing clients left right and centre (Rebecca & Vanessa are two that come to mind straight away) personally I enjoy to sit back and unwind in my rocking chair on my Veranda with a drink and a book every now and then. But if you exercise in order to lose weight, build muscle, just plain be healthier or reach peak athletic performance. There are a few things you might be interested in knowing.
