WHAT I EAT ON A LOW CARB DAY

Don't worry, a low carb day isn't without high carb days too.

My Full Day of Eating on a Low Carb Day is now up on my Youtube

My take is that it's okay to eat a low carb diet (under 130 grams) provided it is followed with high carb days. I wouldn't advice anyone to follow a low carb diet alone for the long term because it's not healthy, and you'd be doing more damage to your body than doing good. 

Eliminating a whole food group is not going to be the answer to fat loss. Neither will it be good for your body or make you feel great.

Your body needs is balance, and remember- carbs are not the evil enemy! 

What we want to do is be more mindful about reducing the amount of REFINED carbs (white toast, sugary snacks, fizzy drinks) we eat and replace these with NUTRIENT DENSE carbs (quinoa, wholewheat pasta or toast, vegetables). This will help to nourish and fuel your body, leaving you feeling fuller for longer and more energised to hit heavy weights! So yes, I say have your carbs but a few low carb days won't hurt too for those sedentary days :)

This what this blog is all about. I'm here essentially sharing my fitness journey and passion to others as I embark on learning more about my body and finding ways to incorporate fitness into my every day lifestyle.

Why am I doing this you ask? I'm doing this because I want to. I want to learn ways and techniques which will help to increase my fitness performance. I want to feel strong and alive! I want to look after my body. I want to feel good on the inside and out. I want to know more about how the human body works. I'm genuinely really intrigued and I don't know why but it is what it is! I thought I'd document some things I learn on my way in case someone else was interested too.

So here's a few of the things of what I'm going to be sharing on this blog:
- my fitness tips
- what I eat and healthy recipes, or healthy places to eat in the UK
- fitness gear and accessories I'm use/loveeeee
- my training
- product reviews
- and learning/thoughts about this lifestyle in general
Oh...and also videos from my Youtube channel. ;)

My aim is to get up a weekly post so stay tuned! There's lots of great stuff that will be on this blog, and I'm so excited!:) xxx

Day Trip To Ilkley, Cow and Calf Rocks.

Making most of the British Summer!

A step outside of Leeds to enjoy a lovely view, fresh air and steady state cardio. Being fit and healthy doesn't always have to be gruelling sweaty session in the gym.

Travel Vlog: Hiking in Hong Kong + Outdoor Workout

Here's Part 2/2 of my vlog series in Hong Kong. One of my favourite things to do in Hong Kong is to hike so while I was there I hiked up Lantau Peak Stage 2 and Maclehose Trail Stage 2 which you can see in the video. Tai Long Wan is such a beautiful place to visit if you haven't been or are thinking of going to Hong Kong. I highly recommend this hike (you can cool down in the sea as the water is clean enough to swim!). 

Hope you enjoy the video- please give it a thumbs up if you do! And hit the subscribe button if you'd like to see more health and fitness vlogs! :)

Travel Vlog: Trip to Hong Kong

I went back 'home' to Hong Kong to visit my friends and family and decided to take my camera with me to share you what I got up to during my stay.

You'll see in this video that I regularly checked in my workouts (sorry there's no video clips of my actual workout). For me, holiday is a time where I'm usually more active. With more spare time on hand I like to get my workouts in, without having to worry about time. Although I do like to be active that doesn't mean I eat clean during my holiday. I like to enjoy the local cuisine and eat whatever I want, and when I want. I believe it's okay to indulge in treats and things which don't provide nutritional benefits, as shown in the video ;). We've only got one life right? As long as this isn't drawn out to become a regular lifestyle after your holiday it's okay.

Please give it a thumbs up if you like the video and subscribe to my channel if you'd like to see more from me! Stay tuned for the next vlog where I will show you two hikes around Hong Kong and an outdoor workout I did which really gets the heart going!
