Can you control your hunger?!?


Hey Guys, Finally finished my exams and my first year of college as a sport science student. I am looking forward to being able to get some more frequent posts up now! Hope you enjoy!

For this post, I decided I would research some facts about controlling your hunger, which can actually be quite difficult. Especially in exam season, as some of you may know. Because we students tend to eat anything and everything in sight. Go on, admit it! I know I can be terrible for it anyway! Tired? - Eat. Bored? - Eat. Study break? - Eat. Sound familiar? I think so! 

Managing your hunger is one of the key aspects of living a healthy, lean lifestyle. So if you are one of those people who always seems to be hungry or you find yourself constantly snacking, no matter what the food is check out the following tips I have for controlling your hunger!

  1. Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night
  2. Weight Training
  3. Focus on getting enough daily fiber
  4. Split one meal sitting into two smaller ones
  5. Drink coffee
  6. Have fruit and vegetables close by to snack on if needed
  7. Ensure you are eating protein at every meal
  8. Eat some healthy fats

Of course, these are only tips but they can prove very helpful if you are trying to cut down on your weight. Getting a balance of each of the above and you should be on the right track to controlling your hunger! As an athlete or someone who enjoys going to the gym you will understand the importance of controlling your hunger. It's not all about weight loss but eating too much food can effect your healthy lifestyle which of course we all want! 

Hope these quick tips were of benefit to you! More posts coming soon! As always feel free to comment and share! 
Talk soon, Kate.

Does listening to music improve your workout?!?

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while since my last post, I have been really busy with starting a new job but i'm ready to get back into it again! In this post I will outline 6 key benefits of listening to music while working out. I always listen to music when working out, especially when running or in the gym and here's why... Music is a good kind of distraction: A study showed that there is more to listening to music than just distraction but it did show that participants who listened to music while working out were less aware of their exertion. A distraction like this has been proven to enhance athletic performance by up to 15 percent. It ups your effort: Listening to music is a key component in my workouts and I find it helps me put in that extra ounce of effort! A study showed that cyclists who listen to music while working out actually work harder when listening to fast music rather than slow music. Songs between 120 and 140 beats per minute were suggested to ha...

My Week in Berlin: Tourist and Training!!

Hey Guys, welcome to the second post of the blog series where I will give you some insight into my week spent in Berlin. Everything from training to sightseeing and also food! Hope you enjoy 😀 TV Tower Berlin  Tuesday 10th September: Today I woke up around 9am once again and chilled in the house and had some breakfast for about an hour before I headed into Berlin for the day. I left around 10:30 and headed for the number 296 bus which I could get as far as the 'Tiergarten' before I got off and got onto the U5 (Underground train). I bought a day ticket for the public transport which costs €7, but it allows you to use all forms of public transport across the city. I got the U5 as far as Alexanderplatz which is the center of the city (You know this because the 'TV Tower' is located here which marks the center of the city). I walked around the area for a few minutes to familiarize myself before heading off to see a lot of the famous historical sites. The first ...
