How To Eat Without Tracking Calories
3d ago00:22:38Tap to summarizeA basic level of nutrition knowledge is often missing from some highly educated and successful people. This results in obesity that they often blame on “genetics”. One doesn’t need to spend one’s entire life planning and tracking calories. Angus & Graham discuss some simple strategies for becoming and staying lean, whilst continuing to enjoy food and drink, and eating out at restaurants.-
Transcribe →How To Stop Binging On Weekends
1w ago00:25:39Tap to summarizeAngus & Graham emphasise that calories only matter over time, not in a single meal. You can eat well Monday to Friday, but if weekends turn into a free-for-all, it can wipe out the entire week’s deficit without you realising. A couple of takeaways, excess alcohol, desserts and mindless snacking can easily add thousands of extra calories. The goal is consistency, not perfection. They enjoy weekends, but stay aware. Keep portions sensible, prioritise protein, and avoid the “I’ll start again Monday” mindset. Fat loss comes from what you repeatedly do, not what you occasionally do.- Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/
Transcribe →Will AI Replace Personal Trainers?
2w ago00:26:10Tap to summarizeGraham discusses whether Angus could be replaced by a bot. They talk about the advantages of AI trainers and what added value a human can give. There are clear financial advantages in not having a human trainer, but the motivation, lifting form and emotional context are hard to replicate virtually. Angus is surprisingly positive on AI as an additional tool in training.-Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/

3w ago00:21:01Tap to summarizeGraham uses and Apple Watch to monitor his steps and once used a whoop but gave up. He and Angus discuss their experiences with fitness trackers.

Transcribe →Why We Follow The 80/20 Rule
May 700:26:54Tap to summarizeAngus and Graham detail the 80:20 life. Graham notices that Angus’ knowledge of Pareto is lacking. Some people go all in and some do nothing.

Transcribe →How To Never be ‘On A Diet’
Apr 3000:23:34Tap to summarizeSo many people underestimate their calorie consumption. The result is that they go on stop-start fad diets then revert to norm.

The gym and exercise alone is not the solution.-Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/
Transcribe →Should Men And Women Train Differently?
Apr 2300:19:27Tap to summarizeWhat is the difference between men and women? Graham & Angus explain that both sexes should consider how they feel on training days. Some days will be more cardio focussed and some more weights. You may feel like you have the ability to go hard on some days and not on others. Training consistently is the goal but you do need to adapt. This could be due to a lack of sleep, stress at work or your menstrual cycle.-Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/

Transcribe →Why Your Phone Is Destroying Your Progress
Apr 900:31:45Tap to summarizeGraham & Angus discuss the amount of time they spend on their phones. Screen time is not generic. Some screen time is productive (reading newspapers etc). Your phone may also be useful in encouraging NEAT (listening to an audiobook whilst walking). However it can clearly also be unproductive (extending rest periods in the gym).

Transcribe →The Truth About 'Cheat Meals'
Apr 200:21:54Tap to summarizeGraham and Angus discuss the idea of “treats” - a term that particularly irritates Graham. Often labelled as “cheat meals”, these foods are typically low in nutrient density: they provide calories but very little protein or fibre, and are often high in sugar. Reframing how you think about these foods can be powerful during a fat-loss journey. Rather than seeing them as rewards or “cheats”, it can be more helpful to recognise them simply as foods that provide calories with limited nutritional value. They can still have a place occasionally, but changing your mindset around them can make a meaningful difference to long-term consistency and results.🏋️ Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/
