Lose weight and Build lean muscle with a diet of high quality fat and protien


For a number of years  I have for ‘inflammation, joint health and weight loss / maintenance reasons’ been living both a Paleo and metabolic eating lifestyle

So impressed am I with both systems and the health benefits they have given to me that I have gained professional qualifications in both systems.

And over the coming weeks I will be discussing more the benefits and the services that I will have available

However in the mean time I would like to share a portion of an email I received from Mark Sisson of Primal Blue print www.primalblueprint.com a leading expert and author on the Primal / Paleo lifestyle – it will give you some insight into the benefits of such a lifestyle

In 2016 don’t put off getting into a healthier and fitter lifestyle

As a Wellness Coach let me help you make 2016 your best year yet

Namaste Joyce

“Mark Sisson here, and I want to let you in on a key weight loss secret: the best way to lose weight and build muscle is with a diet high in quality fat and protein. Try it on for size and you'll find yourself inadvertently eating less without sacrificing satiation or satisfaction.

Protein satisfies your appetite because it's digested much more slowly than carbohydrates are. Protein feeds your body a steady stream of absorbable nutrients, while carbs spike your blood sugar and leave you craving more--more carbs, more calories, more junk food.

Research has shown that there's also a hormonal mechanism behind protein's hunger-quenching effect. One study published in the journal Cell Metabolism suggests that increasing the protein content of your diet will raise your body's levels of a hunger-fighting protein called peptide YY (PYY).

As for fat, well think about it: When's the last time you binged on fatty lamb chops and steak? Now, when's the last time you were tempted to binge on high-carb potato chips? Fat is just more satisfying and, when a high-fat diet is supported by low-carb intake, it makes it easier to access stored body fat for energy. Numerous studies indicate that low-carb, high-fat diets reduce weight and help retain and even increase lean mass”.

Reason's to go GAGA for the Reformer

Reason's to go GAGA for the Reformer Here's a great quiz question what does Lady Gaga and the London Irish rugby team have in common ? would you believe it they both practice Pilates on the Reformer!!! Lady Gaga on the Reformer -  article in the DailyMail Pilates is called the Pilates System because it is designed around 7 pieces of equipment – one of which is the Pilates Reformer – sometimes described as a Reformer bed, perhaps eluding to it’s origins as a 3ft single bed in an internment camp on the Isle of Man, where Joseph Pilates spent much of the 1 st WW and insisted that all the inmates perform daily movements utilizing their bed springs!  In my opinion the Reformer stands out on its own from the other pieces for its versatility While BODYFIRM [est 1998] have always had a fully equip studio [reformer, trap table, barrels etc] most people are more familiar with  Mat Pilates, however in the last few years more studios have opened in Dubl...

Tabata - High Intensity Interval Training

Also check out our Client Jan Newsletter  We have been using the Tabata system of training in our studio for several years now both in our Met-X-Fitness and in our more Blitz / Boot Camp orientated Pilates Mat and Reformer Class’s and because I know all about the excellent benefits and results of this style of training I rather stupidly assumed everyone else did too. I realized last week that this was not the case when on two separate occasions I was asked by a client and a trainer I was chatting with - the same two questions what exactly is Tabata? And how does it work? So here it is – Tabata, a high intensity, short duration effective exercise system Tabata – What is it? Tabata (developed by it’s name sake Japanese Professor Izumi Tabata) is a high intensity interval training system (HIIT) that since its inception has provided remarkable results  - he originally developed this system for the Japanese speed skating team in 1996 Tabata – How does it wor...
