Guys: working out 💪🏻 for lean mass gains needn't entail spending a small fortune 💷 on protein supplements...

One inexpensive solution: the simple hen's egg🥚🥚🥚🐓 as the 'Best Muscle-Building Food' readily available...

This rapid-fire video from YouTube outfit Muscle Monsters (far more thoughtful than they might initially sound!) collates the latest published scientific thinking and makes a compelling case for the humble googy egg 🥚 to form a cornerstone in your exercise diet. Take a look!

The term 'superfood' gets thrown around a lot. And while this can be an overused buzzword, a few foods truly deserve this label. For example, one food that g...

Shared originally on my personal page - well worth a read for those aged 50+ or approaching that time...

Just when we thought we had the pandemic beaten, it brings a further wave of pain: we are burning out and dropping out en masse. New figures show that midlife Britain is in peril of doing a Reggie Perrin — leaving its work clothes piled on the beach and disappearing. Official figures last week sho...

Who's looking forward, like myself, to summer sun, warmth and undress? If you'd prefer to look good nearly naked lol, live in south / south-west / central London and would like some fresh ideas and , please feel free to drop me a line to discuss.

NB: I wouldn't normally dare sport green with my 'paler-than-most' (damn those genes lol). In my defence, however: 1. that it's simply speedos limits the contrast ; 2. My swimmers quite accidentally complement the through the in the window view.

The Guardian has published a brilliant article heralding the successful stories of personal fitness revolution ('peak fitness') in three previously-challenged individuals all aged over 50 years old - take a look!

Ted Ed stands up for standing up, pointing out the dangers of sitting to the human body... Isn't it odd that society has put us in a place where so many of us are effectively committing hours of self harm in the name of work? Something basic we can all try to change...

The hospitality industry need to stop being so bloody precious and get with the plan to promote a reduction in over-eating and consumption of the wrong foods and beverages for many...

Listen : we've all had it tough during the pandemic - pubs and restaurants are not unique in that regard. Let's face it: the UK national figures on obesity are scandalous, while being overweight is increasingly identified as one of the key factors in promoting serious illness and premature death with regard to infection by COVID-19 and its variants. Not to mention the cost in heart disease, stroke and diabetes, to name but a few.

So, please, stop whining, and do your calorie calculations... It really doesn't take that long for menus that are either static or which have to be planned for data in advance to ensure deliveries. You can bet the house on the idea that restaurants will be doing minute financial calculations to ensure they turn a tidy profit - it's not a labour of love. Great: trust me - nutritional analyses take far less time and might make people happier, healthier and able to longer, more productive lives!

Restaurants want plans to display calorie totals delayed as the sector recovers from the pandemic.

"Let's get ph.....ilosophical!" 😝💪🏻🧠 FITNESS AND FATNESS

Thinking Allowed - BBC Radio 4, released 19 May 2021

Laurie Taylor asks if fitness and fatness are two sides of the same coin. He's joined by Jürgen Martschukat, Professor of North American History at the University of Erfurt and author of a new book which looks at the history of self-optimisation from the Enlightenment to the present. What’s the relationship between neoliberalism and phenomena like Vi**ra & aerobics? How did the body come to symbolise success and achievement?

Also, Sarah Trainer, medical anthropologist at Seattle University, discusses her study on extreme weight loss, via bariatric surgery. Her in depth interviews with patients reveal, in painstaking detail, how the journey to drastic weight - often half a person's body weight - can be at once painful and liberating, revealing which bodies are treated as though they don't belong in modern societies. Thinking Allowed is produced in partnership with the Open University.

Fitness & fatness: a programme exploring two sides of the same coin.
