We had a lovely chat this week with Personal Trainer and new father of 2, Josh Portnoi! With fathers day just yesterday we thought it would be a lovely idea to turn the tables and find out how life has changed since entering the world of parenting.
We would love to hear your thoughts! Any questions info@ace-lifestyle.com or find us on social media @ace.transform
In this 2-part episode we discuss how to eat more for less and also a little bit about how to manage injuries.
Diets often go wrong when people overly restrict and eat as little as possible. Because feeling hungry means it's working, right? WRONG! So long as you are in a calorie deficit you will lose weight and how you choose to "spend" your calories is up to you. By focusing on eating as much as you can rather then as little as you can you will make massive progress!
In part 2 we talk about injuries. They are inevitable at some point but does this mean you can't exercise?
We would love to hear your thoughts on the topic and if you have any questions, or anything you want us to discuss get in touch at info@ace-lifestyle.com or find us on socials @ace.transform.
Also, please do rate, review and subscribe to our podcast! It really does help with our ratings!!!
This week we had the privilege of having the lovely Chani on our podcast. Chani is a busy working mum of 6 and tried every diet under the sun before starting aceTRANSFORM! She was a model client and we think it's safe to say, we might have changed her life forever. If you are sitting on the fence about whether to join aceTRANSFORM listen up!

This is a conversation we have had time and time again with so many people. Do you have an actual medical condition making it hard or even impossible to lose weight? Or (more often then not) is it a case that you have not been in an actual calorie deficit? Are hormones interfering? Stress? Sleep? Listen up, we think you will find this a very interesting topic!Any questions info@ace-lifestyle.com and find us on socials @ace.transform

As the Kardashians ditch their BBLs and curves for a ‘skinnier look’, recent changes in body image trends seem to be reverting back to the 2000s love of the slim physique and heroin chic. BUT women are tired of unhealthy fashion trends dictating their bodies we need to put a stop to this NOW!

We had a lovely aceCHAT with "Fitness Fi" on the topic of dieting and who has the right to diet! A tricky subject that isn't talked about enough, do you need permission from others for your choices, whether that is to lose a bit of weight or not?
We chat about the difficulties faced when you might not have a large amount of weight to lose but want to feel and look better within yourself. The comments and actions of other people, jealously and the fact that someone might be desperate just to look like your "pre-diet" weight.
Such a fascinating topic, one not to be missed!
