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.

My Parents, My Coach and I - When is enough enough?!?

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posts in the last while it has been a really busy time for me with work and training but I'm back and excited to post some of the topics I have been working on!   For this post anyway, I have decided to discuss briefly about how you can develop your game as a player and how key individuals such as family, friends and coaches in particular can play a role. I think that it is very difficult to get the balance between how much interaction you need. For example, "Do you need you parents at the back of the court?" This can be up for discussion and if I am being totally honest a discussion that could go on for years and years. There is no right or wrong answer. As children, we tend to like having someone at the back of the court or on the sideline to cheer us on and give us that extra bit of motivation. But how much is enough? For me, I grew up having my mum, a great badminton player herself to coach me and I am forever thankful to her for t...

How to get a 6 pack?!?

Hey guys, for this post I will talk a little bit about training our abs and how we should do this. It is something quite interesting that a lot of people tend to be misinformed about.  When we look to tone our abs and get that 'summer body' that we all want we tend to go straight into working the ab muscles only by doing sit ups and crunches. However, research has found that directly training our abs like this is not what makes our abs more defined. Unless you are very lean and your ab muscles are under-developed. Working the abs only does not make them show better! This is a huge myth because we cannot just work the muscle and expect the fat to be spot-reduced. That's not how the body works unfortunately.  If toned abs is what you are looking for then you should try focus on a diet specifically for fat loss around your waist. Your abs are there, they just happen to be covered by a layer of fat so a fat loss diet around the waist may be something that could wor...
