Nutrition

Nutrition is where most people overcomplicate things. They're counting macros to three decimal places, avoiding entire food groups, buying supplements they don't need, and following plans that last about ten days before real life gets in the way. Then they blame themselves when it doesn't stick, when the problem was the plan, not the person.

I've been coaching nutrition alongside personal training for six years, and the clients who get the best results are almost never the ones doing the most complicated things. They're the ones who've nailed the basics — enough protein, enough vegetables, enough water, enough sleep — and built habits they can actually sustain. That's it.

The posts in this category cover the things that actually move the needle. How much protein do you actually need? (More than you think, probably.) How do you eat out in Glasgow without derailing your progress? What does the research actually say about GLP-1s and muscle preservation? What does a sustainable nutrition plan look like for someone with a busy job and a family?

I'm also a peptide specialist, which means I work with clients who are using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro. The nutrition side of that is genuinely different — the appetite suppression changes everything — and there's a lot of bad advice out there. The posts here cover what the research actually says and what I've seen work in practice.

No fads. No miracle foods. Just evidence-based guidance written in plain English for people in the real world.
