Dipi’s Story

February 14, 2017realadmin_adminTestimonial

Start with mindset, finish with lifestyle…

The past nine weeks have been life-changing and it all began with three words, ‘enough is enough’. I wanted to bring health and wellbeing into my lifestyle, which had been non-existent for years and it started with changing my thoughts. No more saying ‘it’s too hard’, ‘80% diet? But I love food’ and the biggest barrier for me was ‘I don’t like exercising alone because I don’t know how to do anything and everyone will be watching me’. The trigger point for me was when I stepped on to the scales last Christmas and I couldn’t believe my eyes, it turned out to be the perfect New Year’s resolution which has now become part of my lifestyle.

I didn’t know where to start, all I knew was I had to, so I set myself a goal that I would start training for my first marathon. Absolutely clueless about exercise and nutrition I started with calorie counting and running 3 to 4 times a week (I could only run 1 or 2km at the time). I lost 5 kilos in the first 5 weeks which kept me motivated but I started getting shin splints and lack of energy, which called for a change in routine.

Thanks to Wayne Dean and Real Fitness’ ‘bring a friend’ week I was reluctant but persuaded to try these guys out. And OMG I cannot stress how amazing the whole team is and I can honestly say I have never stuck to any gym membership in my life. Their holistic approach is what sets them apart because they are so genuine and actually care about YOU! They are definitely not your average gym!

THE REAL LIVING CHALLENGE: I joined right on time when it was about to begin and my first thoughts were WOW, no sugar? High fat? What the hell did I sign up to? It seemed impossible and fears were mounting but since I had changed my mindset, I had to follow through and give this a good go. The seminars were the most helpful because it encouraged me to read more about how the body works, how ketosis leads to fat burning and what is good and bad for you.  It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle.

The first four weeks were super hard but persistence and focusing on the end goal was key. I was tempted to cheat, but what kept me going was seeing the scales drop every single week. After four weeks, it was piece of cake and now nine weeks in, I don’t even want to stray back into old habits. Keto-friendly meals are super EASY to make, super TASTY and best part is I have experienced abundance of ENERGY which I have never felt before!

Incorporating this nutrition into my lifestyle, constant education, the intensity from Real Fitness group classes and my personal training session with SENSATIONAL Wes, was a recipe for ultimate success. In such a short time, I have lost 10+ kilos*, I can now run 8km without stopping, I can lift weights (Shout-out to Birtha) and do push ups, all of which was not possible nine weeks ago! To top it off, I haven’t weighed what I weigh now since I was 15 years old, except now I am stronger, fitter and healthier!

REAL FITNESS PERSONAL TRAINING, Thank you so much for educating me, motivating me and keeping me disciplined and most importantly believing in me. You all are truly a dream team and can revolutionize the fitness industry.

BRING ON THE NEXT CHALLENGE!!! 😀

*Results may vary from person to person.  Proper nutrition and movement is essential to losing and maintaining weight loss.

Jen and Kate Woodward!

We just had to give this strong mother and daughter duo a shoutout this week!

Instagram post 2197523394117813935_689560929 How Fruit and Veg can help with your digestion! 🍎🍌🍇🍋🥦🌶🍅🥬
.
What secret ingredient do Fruit and Veg contain that helps with digestion? Fibre!
.
Fibre is an indigestible form of carbohydrate, which comes from plant foods. There is soluble fibre, which helps to make you feel fuller for longer. And there is insoluble fibre, which absorbs water and helps us have regular bowel movements. Insoluble fibre also contains resistant starch, which is not digested in the small intestine but instead goes to the large intestine, where it helps produce good bacteria and improve your gut health. Gut health is the key to so many other benefits in the body and many holistic practitioners believe that good health starts in the gut. And good gut health = lots of fibre!
.
So how much fibre should we eat? Males should eat a minimum of 30g and females a minimum of 25g a day. If you can eat more, awesome! Previously in our hunter-gatherer days it’s been said that we consumed up to 100g of fibre each day. But, its important to build your fibre intake up slowly over time, as over consumption (when you aren’t accustomed to eating over 30g fibre a day) can cause distress in the gut and give you bloating or gas.
.
How can you eat more fibre? Pick your favourite fruits and veg and eat LOTS of them! My favourite fibre rich foods are avocado, peas and raspberries. But you should always aim for a variety of plant foods in your day. The more variety you have in your diet, the healthier your gut and the larger the range of nutrients you will consume!
.
In the photos above you’ll see a few meals with over 15g fibre in each of them! Here’s what they each contain: .
1️⃣ Burrito bowl with chipotle black beans, refried beans, chargrilled capsicums, guacamole, salsa and brown rice
2️⃣ Mmiso eggplant with satay tofu, spinach, edamame, avocado, kim chi, and brown rice
3️⃣ Italian butter beans with roasted onion, zucchini, eggplant, tomato and garlic
4️⃣ Chipotle black beans with cauliflower ceviche, guacamole, basmati rice and tomato salsa
5️⃣ Mediterranean roast veg with lentils, onion, zucchini, potato, olives, capsicum, pumpkin, sweet potato and broccolini

Instagram post 2196243296706136196_689560929 How to re-energise your morning 🤩

Do you find you are hitting the snooze button on your alarm more often than not? Struggling to get out of bed in the morning and all you can bare the thought of is clutching onto a hot cup of coffee? 
It doesn’t have to be this way! Bring back some zest into your morning routine. Recently I have started a solid morning ritual that I will do not matter the situation. And I can promise you I feel a million bucks for it as well.

1. Setting the alarm a mere 5mins earlier to get up and either meditate or do some form of movement. Squats, push ups or even foam rolling to gently wake up the body. Choose whatever rep range suits you, remember there is no right or wrong here.
2. Write down three gratefuls. They can be three small things that make you grateful to be alive and on this earth. 
3. Rehydrate. A glass of water in the morning to rehydrate the body and waken it up! Adding some Himalayan pink salt to your water to boost the minerals in your body after a nights sleep. 
4. Shower! Have your usual show however in the last 60-90 secs try a cold shower to finish with. Get your body out of routine and change it up a little! It will boost your senses, immune system and bloody flow! Try it tomorrow morning...I dare you. 
These are some great tips to re-energise and put a hop in your step! Change it up a little and try something new. Your morning will Thankyou for it 🙏🏽 Coach B x
Instagram post 2196188858205457575_689560929 🌱Plant vs Whey Protein Powder🐄 
You may be wondering or have seen in the gym or health stores both plant and ‘vegan’ protein powder or wpi or whey protein powder. Fortunately enough both have their benefits but are different in nature.
~
Firstly with plant based protein, Plant based or Vegan protein powder is derived mainly from grains, legumes and seeds, majority of the time rice and pea are the main sources where by the carbohydrates and fats are drained by processors to make protein rich powders.

BENEFITS;
🌱 Plant based proteins carry vitamins and minerals as part of nutritional uptake
✅ Carry digestive enzymes and fibre making digestion and absorption easier
✅ Most plant based proteins are filled with 12-25g of protein per serve
~
Whilst on the other hand whey protein or WPI is derived from cows which is separated from the casein in the manufacturing process and is a complete protein that comes in two form isolate and concentrate with isolate being the more pure form.

BENEFITS;
🐮 Whey protein contains all 9 essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own.
✅ Digests quickly this increasing muscle protein synthesis resulting in the amino acids being metabolised at a rapid rate.
✅ Strengthens the body’s antioxidant defences by promoting the formation of glutathione.
~
Both proteins have there benefits and serve a place in your nutrition strategy to achieve your results as they are essential for muscle growth and will assist in maintaining a balanced diet.
