Emotional eating, guilt associated with eating foods like pancakes, tight-fitting clothes and a lack of energy in the gym lead Carolyn to finally try something different. Carolyn already had some knowledge of macros and flexible dieting but adjusting her numbers on her own wasn’t working for her. Not only was it not getting her results but it wasn’t helping her improve her relationship with food either. Now Carolyn enjoys things like birthday cake Oreos guilt-free and doesn’t feel like hiding her body in baggy clothes! Read on to find out how Carolyn has made progress in the last 12 weeks with her coach, Jen Charlesworth.
People ask me all the time what I do to workout. Well, it’s no secret that I’m a lover of CrossFit and happily indulge in practicing muscle ups in our garage just for fun! But despite what you might think, I am not spending hours on end ‘pumping iron’ or subjecting myself to long duration low intensity cardio. Some of the best (and worst depending on how you look at it!) workouts I’ve done have required nothing more than my bodyweight and a small area of flooring.

Beans are a fantastic way to add more fiber and protein to your diet. I might come from the land of baked beans on toast but beans are actually pretty versatile in the kitchen! One of my favorite ways to prepare them is by throwing them into soups and stews. Whether you’re vegan or just looking to add more nutrient dense meals into your day then a bean soup has to be one of the most economical and convenient ways of doing exactly that. Soup is so easy to make in bulk and transport with you to work or reheat at home after a long day at the office.
Jess Attree is one of Roz’s closest friends and was one of her beautiful bridesmaids. They met at the University of Bristol back in 2002 through their Wednesday night sports socials.

Anyone who wants the full results of their training, should understand and accept that nutrition is the foundation for everything you do in the name of athletic growth & development.
