As we near the end of 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your fitness journey and plan for the year ahead. In this solo episode of the Fitness in Focus Podcast, we take a deep dive into one of the most asked-about topics: nutrition for achieving your fitness goals.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, gain lean muscle, or put on healthy weight, this episode is packed with science-backed insights and practical advice to help you succeed.

I’ll walk you through the basics of nutrition, breaking down key concepts like:
👉 Calorie deficit diets for fat loss—how to eat fewer calories than you burn without compromising muscle mass.
👉 The importance of protein-rich diets to preserve muscle and improve recovery.
👉 The role of fibre, hydration, and limiting processed foods in creating sustainable eating habits.
👉 Why strength training beats long cardio sessions for fat loss and muscle preservation.
👉 Calorie surplus diets for healthy weight gain—what to eat to add lean muscle, not fat.
👉 Tips on balancing healthy fats, complex carbs, and meal frequency for optimal results.

We’ll also talk about how your fitness approach needs to evolve as you age, tackling challenges like slower metabolism, hormonal changes, and muscle loss. Plus, discover why strength training is a game-changer at every stage of life and how small, mindful tweaks to your routine can make a big difference over time.
