Ep 13: Exercise, weight-loss, metabolism and rest with Faye Townsend.

Eat less + move more is the simple formula for weight loss that we've (almost) all bought into at some point. We try our best, but then we reach a plateau. In this episode, I'm joined by specialist sports nutritionist Faye Townsend to discuss  - why might someone initially lose weight on a diet/exercise plan but then weight loss plateaus? - what can someone do if they feel it's impossible for them to realistically eat any less or move anymore? - the problem with online calorie calculators and extreme fitness challenges  - the importance of rest and recovery - what should someone do if they start to feel guilty about not exercising?
