Rip garlic bread

Rip garlic bread

You feel me on this one. It’s tough to restrain yourself when you’re out to dinner. Especially when it’s with people who aren’t on a diet, it’s like they’re flaunting it.

You feel me on this one. It’s tough to restrain yourself when you’re out to dinner. Especially when it’s with people who aren’t on a diet, it’s like they’re flaunting it. “No, I don’t want a ‘small’ slice of your pizza, thank you, Debbie.” *Sniffs air grotesquely, trying to suck pizza up through nostrils.* I promise that a bit of self-control won’t spoil a delicious meal, and will leave you feeling guilt-free!

  • Window Shop – Always look at the menu BEFORE you get there – to avoid your hangry taking over and ordering one of everything!
  • I Want It That Way – Don’t be scared to change the meal and sides, like replace your chips with veg or salad. People are literally getting paid to cook to your specifications, they have no right to be snobby about it.
  • Au Naturale – Drink water or soda water, NOT soft drinks. Water is calorie free! And soda is still nice and bubbly. I often trick myself into thinking it’s soft drink by drinking soda water with lime!
  • Graze Craze – Nibble on a healthy snack and down some water 20-30 minutes before eating, to kick start your metabolism. Think of your stomach and metabolism as dial up internet, it takes a while to get up and about!
  • Drink Like A Fish – Continue drinking water during the meal to help fill you up quicker. How many fat fish do you see? Exactly. Because they drink water all the time!
  • RIP Garlic Bread – Don’t get suckered into appetisers or bread baskets. Bread is for chumps, and that ain’t you!
  • No Carbs Allowed – Avoid eating carbs and you can enjoy more of the meal! Might be a good idea to avoid Italian restaurants for a while!
  • You Saucy Minx – Minimise the amount of sauce your meal has, by ordering it on the side. Creamy sauces are bad news, Susan! They’re full of pesky macros that don’t even fill you up!
  • Get A Good Grillin’ – Order grilled lean meat, like chicken or fish and don’t choose anything fried!
  • Chew Chew – Concentrate on your chews! ~Chewing is not something I normally concentrate on. I found that when I did pay attention, I didn’t need to eat as much.
  • Black Is Best – Replace dessert with coffee if you have to have anything. (See ‘The Truth About Coffee & Fat Loss’ article).
  • Skin Tight – Wear a tight-ish top. It’s a tricky one, to use positively. But for me, it’s all about being more physically aware of when my stomach’s full!

However you avoid the extra calories and macros at dinner, it has to work for you. Food can be a big part of what makes you happy. Find a way to keep your diet, but also still enjoy food. Life is about happiness and growth. So what are you waiting for, Get Going! At Get Going PT our fitness trainers come to you and help you achieve your fitness goals.

Jack is wonderful! He is a knowledgeable trainer who pushes us to our own limits, not some textbook idea of what we should be able to do. He is also just a great person to get to know. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting to improve their fitness and strength.

We are in Melbourne Bayside, and we’ve been training with Mia for the past three months and honestly couldn’t be happier. From day one, she has been incredibly punctual and professional. What really sets Mia apart is how personal and supportive she is — she knows exactly how to encourage you to push a little harder while still feeling supported.

Emily Smith is my personal trainer who has worked with me for the past few months. I have never had a PT before and I must say Emily was absolutely amazing and extremely professional. Emily actually gave me my life back as I have been troubled with poor health for a few years.

I’ve struggled to get into PT. Been a member of gyms for ages, but hated going. Honestly the PT I have, Steven Stocker (Steve) is the only one who’s had any success with me. I’m a very anxious person, so having someone calm yet motivating was the only reason I kept rocking up.

Highly recommend Get Going! My coach Mia D has been absolutely amazing! With her guidance I was able to lose 6kg in 5 weeks leading up to my wedding! But what has been even more impactful for me, was that Mia has been a huge support and has redefined my relationship with exercise.

Get Going is exactly what I needed. Been working with Chris for a couple months now I’ve lost 10kg so far, my body is moving much better, higher levels of energy throughout the day. Highly recommend. The flexibility of days and times is perfect for me being a shift worker.
