You're not lazy, you're not broken, and you're definitely not "just a tired person." This week, Hannah from Bristol asked the question half of you are quietly living with: she eats well, walks her 10,000 steps, batch-cooks... and still hits a wall every single afternoon. So what's actually going on? In this episode I break down: ✅ The real reason your energy crashes in the afternoon (it's rarely what you think)  ✅ Why cutting carbs usually makes the fog and fatigue WORSE  ✅ The one mistake almost everyone working from home makes  ✅ The simple order of fixes that lifts the 2pm slump, often within a week No nonsense, no jargon, just what actually works.  If you've ever wondered why you're running on empty by mid-afternoon, this one's for you. #NoForkingNonsense

HOW MUCH PROTEIN DO I ACTUALLY NEED TO LOSE FAT AND GAIN MUSCLE?

FREEE: https://mymealmaker.carrd.co/ This weeks question is from Dan: Dan's 38, works shifts as a paramedic, and trains three or four times a week, mostly weights with the odd run. He's been trying to lose a bit of fat while holding onto muscle, and like most people he's been swept up in the protein conversation that's everywhere at the moment.  To send your question: podcast@thenutritionistuk.com

HOW TO SURVIVE SUMMER (BBQ'S, WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAYS, HOLIDAYS ETC)

🔗 Free Meal Maker: mymealmaker.carrd.co Surviving Summer: BBQs, Weddings, Parties and Holidays Without Losing the Plot It's summer. The diary is full. BBQs, weddings, birthday meals, holidays, baby showers, parties that go on longer than they should. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, there's a version of you quietly panicking about every single one. This episode is the end of that. Paul breaks down exactly how to navigate every major summer scenario without the anxiety, without the guilt, and without spending September feeling like you've undone six months of work. Because the research is clear — one event cannot undo meaningful progress. What actually derails people isn't the BBQ. It's the response to the BBQ. And that's entirely fixable. In this episode you'll get a clear, practical framework for every situation summer throws at you. BBQs — and why they're actually one of the easiest nutritional environments you'll encounter. Weddings — the longest and most complex food day of the year, broken down simply. Buffets — and the one strategy that changes everything about how you approach them. Holidays — how to keep enough structure to come back feeling good without ruining the holiday. And alcohol — the honest conversation nobody else is having. This isn't about restriction. It's about going into summer with a plan instead of just hoping for the best.

YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO ABOUT SUGAR.

Download the free Meal Maker at https://mymealmaker.carrd.co/  meals built around real food, so you don't have to think about any of this twice. The Food Label That's Been Lying to You About Sugar for 20 Years You've looked at the sugar content on a food label.  You've seen the traffic light.  You've thought - amber, that's probably fine. It's not fine. And it's not your fault for thinking it was. The percentage you see on the front of your food packaging is based on a daily sugar reference value of 90 grams. The independent scientific body that reviews all the evidence - SACN - recommends 25 grams of free sugar per day. That's not a rounding difference. That's nearly four times higher than what the science actually says. In this episode Paul breaks down exactly why that gap exists, who benefits from it, and what it means for what you're actually eating every single day without realising. You'll learn the difference between free sugars and naturally occurring sugars - and why that distinction changes everything about how you should read a label. You'll find out where free sugar is actually hiding... and it's probably not where you think.  You'll understand what the research really says about what sugar is doing to your health, your mood, your weight, and your long-term risk of serious disease. This isn't an episode about cutting out sugar. It's an episode about understanding what you're actually eating... and why the information you've been given to make that decision has never been straight with you. 🎙 No Forking Nonsense - the UK's second most listened-to nutrition podcast.
