No Forking Nonsense - The Nutritionist UK

Fancy a chat? CLICK ME . The UK supplement market is worth well over a billion pounds a year, and most of what's in your cupboard is doing nothing. Not all of it, though. A small number of things genuinely work and are worth your money. The trick is knowing which, and almost every article you've read on this was written by someone selling something. So: no affiliate links, nothing to sell you, and I'll tell you which ones I take myself. In this episode: The short list of supplements with real evidence behind them, and what each one actually does Vitamin D, and why the UK government position on it is different from everywhere else, and what that means between October and March Creatine: the most researched supplement there is, why the loading phase is unnecessary, and why the hair loss thing traces back to one small study Protein powder, which is food rather than a supplement, and when it's worth buying Where a multivitamin does and doesn't make sense The ones that only work if you're deficient, and how to know whether you are The big money-wasters: fat burners, detox products, greens powders, collagen, and anything sold on "supports" rather than "does" Why the word "supports" is doing so much work on that label How to read a label so the marketing stops working on you When a supplement is genuinely worth taking, and the situations where testing beats guessing @paulthenutritionist

Whatever you eat at the services was decided before you pulled in. Bank holiday weekend, work trip, driving up to see family, or heading to Portman Road to watch Ipswich beat Tottenham 2-1... At some point you're stopping somewhere off the M6, and the choice gets made in about four seconds. Service stations aren't the problem. There's more decent food in them than there's ever been. The problem is walking in hungry, tired and without a plan, because then whatever's nearest wins. So most of this episode is about what happens before you leave the house. In this episode: The twenty minutes before you set off that buy you three hours of not caring what's on offer A four minute bag, and what actually survives a warm car Why people drink less on purpose on long drives, and why it backfires The one move once you're inside that changes what you end up with What you're aiming for, in one sentence The meal deal, and which of the three slots is the trap Why a big lunch halfway through a long drive is a safety issue rather than a diet one The share bag, and why what's in it isn't the point Arriving at family, and the gap between crisps at four and dinner at eight The drive home from an away day, win or lose One to one coaching at thenutritionistuk.com.

In this weeks episode I explain in less than 7 minutes how calories work like you're a 12 year old - this is the easiest way to understand what is happening with your body, it'll help you understand calories for fat loss, weight gain, energy and supporting performance. ENJOY IT.

DOWNLOAD A COMPLETELY FREE SUPERMARKET HACKS LIST: https://ultimatehackslist.carrd.co/ I've spent two years telling people to ignore fad diets. This week I'm defending them. All of them . Keto, carnivore, alkaline, celery juice, cabbage soup, the lot. They work. That's the problem. Then there's a study from Stanford that quietly demolished the entire "find the right diet for your body type" industry, including the DNA tests and the metabolic typing, and nobody reported the most important line in it. After that I make the case for what I actually do for a living, and then list all the reasons you might not need it, which my accountant has asked me to stop doing. In this episode: Why every fad diet works, and the one mechanism they all share Why a rule beats good judgement at four o'clock on a Thursday 609 people, 12 months, low fat against low carb, and what the difference actually was The gene test question that got answered directly, and what it predicted Why "just build sustainable habits" has the same failure rate, and why nobody in my industry says so The detail buried in that Stanford study that changes what the headline means What beat an actual prescription drug by nearly two to one Learn more at: thenutritionistuk.com.

FREE ULTIMATE SUPERMARKET HACKS LIST: https://ultimatehackslist.carrd.co/ Only a FEW things can cure a hangover... Not the fry-up, not the Berocca, not the pint of water before bed, and definitely not the hair of the dog. What you can do is have a much smaller one, and there's decent evidence for how. This week: What a hangover actually is, why it isn't just dehydration, why the colour of what you're drinking genuinely matters, and the honest version of the alcohol and health conversation now that the old "red wine is good for you" line has quietly fallen apart. No lectures. I'm not telling anyone to stop drinking. I n this episode: What's actually happening in your body the morning after, and why dehydration is only part of it Congeners, and why dark spirits and red wine hit harder than clear ones Why alcohol wrecks your sleep even when you sleep for nine hours The things worth doing before, during and after, in order of how much difference they make You'll thank me after listening to this...

STOMACH BUG? Half the country still believes flat Coke helps. It's one of the worst things you can drink. This one's entirely practical. No theory you can't use today. Most of the advice people are working from on stomach bugs is about thirty years out of date, and one bit of it actively slows your recovery down. In this episode: Why this is a fluid problem rather than a food problem, and the sipping technique that keeps it down What rehydration sachets actually do, why the sugar in them isn't for energy, and the one thing to buy now while you're well Why flat cola, fruit juice, fizzy drinks and sports drinks all make it worse Why "starve it out" is outdated advice, and what the evidence says about eating early The BRAT diet: fine as a starting point, poor as a rulebook What two large trials in the New England Journal of Medicine found when they tested probiotics on nine hundred children each When not to reach for Imodium Why the scales drop and why that weight isn't fat When to stop listening to me and ring 111

The supermarket layout is one of the most refined pieces of behavioural engineering in your daily life, and almost nobody notices it happening. This week I take you round a shop and show you exactly what's going on, including the bits that are genuinely clever and the bits that are complete rubbish. In this episode: Why the shelf isn't a shelf, it's advertising space, and what brands are actually paying for The number in the government's own evidence: how much prime placement lifts sales by, with nothing about the product changing What the 2022 HFSS law actually did, how many fewer items a day it took out of baskets, and why the overall figure barely moved How supermarkets rebuilt the same prompts within weeks, including the reason aisles got longer Why the milk is at the back, why you walk into flowers, and what the music is doing Multibuys, anchoring and Clubcard pricing: how the maths gets away from you The food psychology researcher with eighteen retracted papers, and why half the "facts" you've read about supermarkets came from his lab Seven ways to shop without being played, none of which need willpower More on Instagram @paulthenutritionist.

You have a set of rules that were designed to fail. In 1945 a physiologist took thirty six healthy young men, restricted their food for six months, and watched binge eating appear in men who had never binged in their lives. We've known what restriction does since 1950. We're still selling people the opposite. No listener question this week. Just the evidence. In this episode: What the Minnesota Starvation Experiment found, and why the psychological results matter more than the physical ones Why the hunger after a diet is measurable, and why one study found it still hadn't gone back to normal after a year Why binge eating usually isn't starve all day then eat everything at night, and what's actually happening instead The milkshake study that found dieters ate MORE after being fed, and what that tells you about the "what the hell" moment Why banning a food makes it louder, not quieter Six things that break the cycle, starting with the one nobody wants to hear When it's more than a messy Friday night, and where to get proper help @paulthenutritionist on instagram!

"I'm 51. I haven't changed a thing, but everything's gone to my middle." Caroline in Monmouth asked the question thousands of women are Googling at 2am, so this week I'm answering it properly. Something real is happening during perimenopause and menopause. But almost everything you've been told about it is wrong. In this episode: What the SWAN study found when it scanned over a thousand women through the menopause transition, and why fat gain doubled while the scales barely moved Why "my metabolism has crashed" doesn't hold up, and what the biggest study on human metabolism actually shows about your forties and fifties Does HRT make you gain weight? What the Cochrane review of 28 trials and 28,000 women says, and what it doesn't Why no supplement balances your hormones, and why you don't need to cut carbs The five things that actually work for menopause weight gain, in order of how much they matter Why the scales are the worst measurement you can use right now, and what to use instead thenutritionistuk.com.

READ GOOGLE REVIEWS HERE DOWNLOAD A ULTIMATE HACKS LIST HERE showing you WHAT TO BUY in a supermarket. THIS EPISODE WILL LOSE ME CLIENTS. I'm about to do something my accountant would tell me not to. In this episode, I give away, completely free, the exact blueprint I use to coach hundreds of people every year to lose fat, get their energy back, and stop feeling at war with food. Not the watered-down version. The whole method. The thing people pay me for. Why? Because knowing what to do was never most people's problem. I walk you through all six steps, start to finish, and bring each one to life with real client stories (names and details changed): the man who'd yo-yo dieted for 35 years, the woman told she had a "slow metabolism" who had to eat MORE to lose weight, the client whose scale went UP while he was quietly winning, and the mindset shift that changes everything before a single meal is touched. By the end, you'll have a blueprint you can actually use on yourself. No gatekeeping. No catch. Grab a pen. And if you take it and run with it? Genuinely, I'll be made up for you. Paul

https://ultimatehackslist.carrd.co/ Greens powder. Fat burners. BCAAs. A testosterone booster off Instagram. ashwagandha, and a pre-workout that makes your face tingle. Sound like your cupboard? You're not alone... and you might be flushing a small fortune down the drain. This week's question comes from Will, who's spending £150 a month, that's £1,800 a year, on supplements and has no idea if a single one actually works. So Paul goes through every last tub, no marketing, no hype, just the evidence. You'll find out the short list genuinely worth your money (it's cheaper and more boring than you think), the ones you can bin tomorrow and lose nothing but the expense, and the uncomfortable truth about where that £150 would do you ten times more good. The supplement industry is worth billions, and it's built on your hope and your fear of missing out. This episode hands you the facts, saves you a packet, and might just empty half your cupboard.

DOWNLOAD: ultimatehackslist.carrd.co Can You Actually Build Muscle AND Lose Fat at the Same Time? You want to lose the belly. You also want to look like you actually lift. A nd everyone keeps telling you to pick one... bulk and get fat, or cut and get skinny. So you flip-flop. Eat loads for a few months, then starve yourself. And somehow end up looking exactly the same. This week's question came from Danny, 34, who's been stuck in that exact loop for years. So Paul settles it once and for all: is building muscle and losing fat at the same time actually possible, or a myth the internet won't let go of? The honest answer sits somewhere between "you can't" and the influencers screaming it's easy. Paul breaks down what body recomposition really is, who it works best for (you might be surprised... it's probably you), the three things that make it happen, and why the bulk-then-cut cycle quietly cancels itself out. No dirty bulks. No crash diets. No nonsense. Just how to finally stop going in circles and start looking like you train. And a warning... the scale is about to become useless. Here's what to watch instead.

This is a rewound episode from 40 episodes ago... but it's a biggy... if you do this ONE THING you will feel, look and be a better person. Goodbye brain fog Goodbye weight Goodbye poor skin Goodbye bad energy...

In this episode, I give you a quick run down about what I do on a daily basis as a full time, online nutritionist - what my weeks look like, how I feel my time etc... if you've ever wondered - here's what I do.

WANT A FREEEEE 'NUTRITION HACKS' CHEAT SHEET? : https://ultimatehackslist.carrd.co/ The Weight Is Coming Back. Nobody Told You That. Three stone down. Feeling brilliant. And then the prescription ends. This week's question came from Karen, 47, who's nine months into Mounjaro and about to come off it. She's terrified. Her appetite has been switched off this whole time and she doesn't know what normal eating even looks like anymore. Everyone keeps telling her it'll all pile back on. So we're having the conversation almost nobody in this industry wants to have. Paul is straight about what the research actually shows when people stop these medications, and honest about why it happens... which turns out to be far more mechanical, and far more fixable, than the horror stories suggest. Then the bit that matters: what to do RIGHT NOW, while you're still on it, so that coming off isn't a cliff edge. Just the truth about what it's actually doing for you, and what it can't do. And if you'll never go near one? Listen anyway. Because the diet that worked while you were on it, the plan someone gave you, the coach, the challenge... it's the exact same problem. Something else was doing the work, and when it stopped, so did the results. The medication was never the achievement. It was the opportunity. Eat. Achieve. Repeat.

FREE HACKS LIST: https://ultimatehackslist.carrd.co/ Good All Week, Blown by Sunday Night: The Weekend Trap Monday to Friday, you're brilliant. Calories hit, steps done, meals prepped, fully in control. Then Friday night lands. A few drinks, a takeaway, a big Sunday lunch... and by Monday the scale's up and it feels like you've torched the whole week. Sound familiar? You're not weak, and you're not failing five days a week. In this episode Paul pulls apart the most common pattern he sees in coaching... why the weekend specifically undoes everything, the maths that quietly cancels out your best days, and whether you're actually ruining your progress or just panicking at a Monday water-weight number. Then the fix. And no, it's not spending every weekend eating chicken and rice while everyone else is at the pub. It's how to have a proper, enjoyable weekend that isn't a wrecking ball, so your five good days finally start to count. If you're amazing all week and baffled every Monday, this is the one.
