You can follow a diet Monday to Friday. But what happens when someone invites you out for dinner on Saturday? 👀

Do you panic about the calories? Write the day off? Promise yourself you’ll get back on track Monday?

Or do you actually know how to handle it?

Because there’s a BIG difference between being told how many calories to eat and being taught how to manage your nutrition around your actual life.

My client had an unexpected family birthday meal. She’d already enjoyed her planned untracked meal that week, so she made a few decisions, tracked her curry and carried on.

No drama. No guilt. No starting again.

And THAT is the kind of progress I want to see in my clients. 👏🏼

Inside PUWP, you’re not just handed calories, protein and a training plan and left to figure the rest out.

We look at your week, your social plans, what’s working, what’s getting in the way and HOW to make your goals fit around everything else you’ve got going on.

Because I don’t want you relying on me forever. I want you to actually understand what you’re doing, build confidence in your own decisions and eventually be able to do this WITHOUT me.

If you’re constantly stuck between being really good on your diet and completely falling off it, this is exactly where coaching can help.

You don’t need another diet to start. You need to learn how to make one work for YOU.

HYROX BIRMINGHAM! 💪🏼 Let’s talk GLYCOGEN and a ridiculously simple plant-based fuelling hack you might be overlooking! 🍊

First, a little sports nutrition science 🧠

Carbohydrates are a key fuel source for high-intensity exercise. Your body breaks them down into sugars, including glucose, which can be used for energy or stored as GLYCOGEN in your muscles and liver.

During HYROX, your muscles rely heavily on these carbohydrate stores. And when they run low? Maintaining your pace, power and performance becomes MUCH harder.

ENTER THE PLANT-BASED FUELLING HACK! 🌱🍊

One of the biggest challenges when increasing carbs before race day? The sheer VOLUME of food!

Especially if you’re eating lots of high-fibre plant foods that leave you feeling full.

That’s where LIQUID CARBS come in! 👇

🥤 250ml orange juice = approximately 25–30g carbohydrates.

A simple, naturally plant-based way to increase your carb intake without adding another meal or piling more fibre onto your plate.

And YES, the natural sugars in fruit juice can help replenish your glycogen stores!

SO START FUELLING BEFORE RACE DAY!

Build up your carbohydrate intake in the days leading up to your event and try adding a glass of orange juice alongside your meals, provided your stomach tolerates it.

It’s a strategy I used when fuelling for the London Marathon and regularly recommend to my plant-based athletes.

And it’s not just for HYROX! Think marathons, cycling, triathlons and other endurance events where carbohydrate availability matters.

Plant-based performance nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated! 🌱💪🏼

SAVE this for your next race and SEND it to your HYROX bestie! 🍊

An OFFICIAL 10kg down 🥳❤️

What a Milestone 👏🏼

All the little decisions that have added up to this milestone. The extra steps, the gym sessions, the meal tracking. It all adds up ❤️

Meanwhile, you might be thinking…

“It’s nearly Christmas.”
“I’ll start properly in January.”
“There’s too much going on.”

But you’re already avoiding certain clothes, feeling uncomfortable and telling yourself “I need to do something.”

If you’re already feeling like this, why wait until January to do something about it?

You can enjoy Christmas AND start making progress. You don’t need to put your life on hold.

With PUWP online coaching, we work out what fits YOUR life—food you enjoy, a clear training plan and support along the way. So you’re always moving forwards.

You’re not hitting your calorie target because you’re WINGING IT. 👀

And honestly, even when clients first start working with me, this is often one of the BIGGEST adjustments they have to make.

Even when I’ve given them a meal plan tailored to their calories and protein!

WHY?

Because KNOWING what to do and actually DOING it are two very different things.

We’re so used to rushing around, grabbing whatever’s convenient, thinking “that’ll do” or “I’m starving, what’s quick?”

We’re not used to thinking AHEAD about what we’re going to eat.

And then there’s the guessing…

You THINK you’ve eaten enough.
You THINK you’ve eaten too much.
So you eat less to compensate.

But the reality? You don’t actually know because you’re either not tracking or you’re guessing.

And here’s something I’ve noticed over years of coaching…

The clients who get the BEST and most predictable results (myself included) are the ones who consistently track their meals accurately.

Not because they’re eating perfectly.

But because they KNOW what they’re eating.

✅ They know where their protein is coming from at each meal.

✅ They know roughly how many calories they’re consuming.

✅ They can spot when a meal is too low or too high and make adjustments.

✅ They can fit in foods they enjoy because they’ve thought ahead.

It’s not about being restrictive. It’s about being PREPARED.

And no, I’m not saying you need to track every single calorie for the rest of your life.

But if you’re currently struggling to see results, tracking accurately for a period of time can be a HUGE eye-opener.

Because you might THINK you’re in a calorie deficit…

But are you actually maintaining one consistently enough to see results?

So here’s my advice: stop winging it. Start planning ahead, even if it’s just tomorrow’s meals.

And see what a difference it makes.
