With today being Transformation Tuesday, and tomorrow being Weigh in Wednesday, we usually see an influx of comments in the facebook group along the lines of:– I’ve ‘only’ lost 2KG since I started three weeks ago– I haven’t lost as much as x person– I’m not noticing any changes in […]

Diet controls how much fat you have on your body. How you train controls what you look like under that fat. So when you are considering how to train think about what you want to look like, what sort of body you aspire too. For most people the goal is […]

Most people start dieting with the idea they’ll be losing weight at a consistent pace. This can be exacerbated by the big losses that usually happen in the early days of switching to keto. People see a big loss their first and second week, but when this slows to more […]

Keto on a budget is something that is posted almost daily. I honestly wish everyone did keto on a strict budget because it means you get to the very foundations of the diet and the people who do this, quite honestly get the best results. Stripping it back to its […]

Many of you are coming here from other groups that have led you to believe you can eat fat to lose fat, and that ketogenic diets are ‘all about the fat’. We don’t subscribe to that theory here. Calories matter, ketogenic or not. It’s why we don’t advocate BPC or […]

You are being duped by marketing on a constant basis. As a species “Homo Sapiens” are some of the most easily influenced animals on the planet. We see something shiny in the field and the grass doesn’t even have to be greener any more, we just want that shiny thing! […]

Training on a keto diet is a hot topic and what people need to understand is that performance and fat loss are two sides of the same coin, BUT they are still different sides. This means whilst whilst the goal you are focusing on is fat loss, any diet is […]

I know a lot of you are stressed about how to get through the Christmas without blowing all of the hard work you’ve put in over the last few months, but how can we avoid it? Lets start with a few statistics… Did you know that some studies have found […]

When you develop and autoimmune disease you can feel like your life is turned upside down and your whole world is ending. It can feel terribly unfair, and there’s this period of mourning where you come to terms with the why me? And what did I do to deserve this? […]

A migraine is so much more than your every day headache. A migraine is a physiological reaction in your brain than results in the constriction, usually in waves, of the blood vessels of the blood brain barrier, after a period of time, these blood vessels then dilate, then over dilate […]

Lets talk meal planning. This can be one of the most daunting parts of starting any diet, especially on a diet like keto that seems confusing at the start. We really, really frown on prepackaged meal plans as well as really drum in the need for tracking. We aren’t the […]

When we embark upon a Ketogenic diet, the typical approach from the layperson is to go ‘hey, net 25g carbs, cool, I’ve got this’, however there’s a huge array of other important information that you should research before you plunge into a keto lifestyle, and one of them involves your […]

Everyone knows by now we do things a little different in this group. We don’t use or advocate meal plans or shakes, and we encourage you to weigh and track your food – but let’s talk about WHY we do it this way. First off, put your hand up if […]

Following on from a few posts we’ve seen, there have been lots of questions about PCOS and Keto, its effectiveness and the benefits. So at the risk of sounding condescending coming from a male who doesn’t suffer from it – I wanted to broadly touch base with some of the […]

When you are a hard training human and switch to keto there is going to be a period where performance may drop off as your body adapts to the different “primary” fuel source. Carbs are such an easy fuel source for the body and after years of carb reliance the […]

#1 – Eat fat to lose fat – Calories don’t matter – Percentages Starting with this as it comes up a lot. Calories are the primary determining factor as to whether you lose fat or not. You NEED to be in a calorie deficit to lose fat. Now – we […]

Hey fam! Me again! Here to annoy you with more learning. Stick with me. There are prizes at the end. I’m basing this lesson on those fucking Aussie Bodies “protein bars” that y’all seem so attached to, and I have an ulterior motive in choosing this as a teaching aid. […]

“What happens if I go over on my protein”. Sit down friends. This is a long one. This is a question we get asked a lot. In this (and some others) group, our point of difference is a slightly higher (i dislike the term “high protein” because “high and low” […]

Ketostix are one of the most controversial topics when you jump on the keto groups. Do they work? Do you need them? Do they help? Well, to get the answers, we need to get a little ‘sciencey’, but I’ll try to keep it simple. Glucose is the main source of […]

Eat fat to lose fat – sounds great, doesn’t it…? We’ve all seen this parroted before across numerous keto groups, Facebook pages, websites – and unfortunately it just isn’t true.  Unfortunately, people have been pumping this misinformation out all over the internet, plastering websites and screaming it from the bleachers, […]

I know what you are thinking. Tracking and weighing food is a pain in the ass. It takes time and effort that most people just cannot be bothered with. It can often seem like a trivial exercise in our every day lives.  I agree with all of the above. If […]
