Ep 22 - The Noom weight loss program in the UK: Is it any good?

Today we're looking into Noom for weight loss. See rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart [https://rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart] for my free, comprehensive guide to kickstarting your weight loss, if you want more general help.  There has been quite a bit of noise about the Noom diet program and lots of very positive results. It makes a big point about how its success is due to the fact that it focuses on the psychology of weight loss. This intrigued me, as my own view is that the only way that you will succeed with permanently losing your weight is to focus on changing your mind, rather than your body. Today we’ll look at how Noom works, what you can get out of it and how it could work for you in your weight loss journey. Find out how I got on with Noom (in the UK) and, more importantly, if I would recommend this for you to invest your money in. Stay tuned to find out the good, the bad and the ugly!

Ep 21: Omega 3 & 6 and weight loss: where they come from, what they do and how they affect your weight

I’m putting my scientist hat on today, to talk about the two Omegas. See rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart [https://rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart] for my free, comprehensive guide on kickstarting your weight loss, for more general information and tips.   Today we're looking at Omega 3 and Omega 6. What they are, why they are important and how they may have an impact on your ability to attain and maintain a healthy weight.  I’ll also explore an intriguing idea that obesity is a symptom caused by a deficiency in Omega 3 in the diet. Sounds far fetched? Keep watching to get the lowdown, so you can make up your own mind.   (You can watch this episode on YouTube here [https://youtu.be/k6rUKrMuV5c]) ------   I mention the book "Why we eat (too much) by Dr. Andrew Jenkinson.

Episode 19: Starting to kick your unhelpful habit & monitoring progress for successful weight loss

Now we start to let go of the unhelpful habit. See rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart [https://rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart] for my free, comprehensive guide to kickstarting your weight loss, if you need more general help.  This is part 3 of my series on letting go of unhelpful habits that may be hampering your weight loss. In today’s episode I’m going to talk about actually getting started and putting your plans into action. I’ll talk about what to expect - not just during the first few days, when often your motivation can be quite high, but also how to keep going when you’ve have a bad day, or you’re challenged in some way and it all starts to get a bit overwhelming. So that you not only start strong, but you finish strong as well.  We'll look at how to stay motivated and how to wrangle incentives to help you succeed.

Episode 18: Planning will help you let go an unhelpful habit for your weight loss

How planning is vital for success.

Unfortunately that isn’t the reality that we face. However, being prepared for what to expect and knowing what actions you can take, will have you motoring down the highway all the way to success.
