Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
This space is for motivation, information and everything I love about health, fitness and anything in between... I’m a personal trainer who believes that you can design your body and be the person you want to be if you put your mind to it. Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Clean Eating 



70% of how your body looks is because of what you eat, only 30% is shaped by your workouts. You need both components to truly see the results you’re looking for, but the most important component is what your feeding and fueling your body with.
Clean eating..... What does it mean exactly??
Eating clean basically means choosing foods in their more natural state. This style of eating focuses on including more “whole” foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, unprocessed, lean-meats and low-fat dairy products. It avoids processed and refined foods like white flour, sugar and trans fats. It also limits saturated fats, fried foods and alcohol. 
A person that eats clean generally practices the following:
  • Eliminates refined sugar
  • Cooks healthy meals
  • Packs healthy meals
  • Makes healthy choices when dining out
  • Drinks a lot of water
  • Eats 5-6 small meals per day
  • Eliminates alcoholic beverages (or significantly limits it)
  • Always eats breakfast

“If man made it, don’t eat it”
“Eat from the fridge, not the pantry”
“Eat plant and animal foods not processed boxed up foods”
