#97 - Busting Plateau's
If the scales haven’t budged in a couple of days and you’re ready to slash calories, we want to slow you down and save you weeks of frustration. We talk about what a real fat loss plateau actually is, what it isn’t, and why the most common “sta...
#96 - Fixing Decision Fatigue
Decision fatigue is not just an annoying buzzword, it is the reason so many smart, motivated people feel stuck. When every meal turns into a debate and every gym session starts with “what should I do today?”, you burn through willpower before y...
#95 - Momentum That Actually Lasts
The number on the scales spikes overnight and your brain goes straight to panic mode: cut calories harder, add more cardio, scrap the plan. We take that moment apart and rebuild it into something far more useful: momentum as a long-term trend, ...
#94 - Hiring A Coach Gives You Clarity Not Happiness
Coaching won’t make your life easier in the way people secretly hope it will. If your job is draining you, your stress is through the roof, or your routine is chaos, paying a fitness coach doesn’t switch that off. We say it plainly: coaching do...
#93 - Chat GPT /Ai Calorie Tracking
ChatGPT can tell you your dinner is 300 calories, and that single number can quietly derail weeks of fat loss. We’ve both seen it with clients: AI gives a confident estimate off a blurry, top-down photo, misses what’s underneath the rice or ins...
#92 - Training hard or hardly training ?
Your training might feel “busy”, but is it actually effective? Larry and Daniel get straight into the stuff that quietly stalls progress for most lifters: switching programmes too often, chasing viral exercises, and doing piles of sets that loo...
# 91 - (im)Balance
Balance is one of the most overused words in health and fitness, and we think it’s quietly keeping people stuck. We get straight into what balance actually means when the goal is fat loss, better health, and real progress: keeping the things yo...
#90 - The Morning Routine Myth
Waking up at 4 a.m. is not a personality, and it’s definitely not a guarantee you’ll feel good by lunchtime. We’re sharing a straight-talking hot take on morning routines, because we keep seeing people build elaborate “perfect mornings” that lo...
#89 - Should Your Coach Actually Be In Shape?
You can tell a lot about the fitness industry by one question: should coaches be in shape? The obvious answer feels like “yes”, but once we start pulling at the thread, it turns into a full audit of trust, proof, and what you are actually buyin...
#88 - 14 Days To Sort Your Shit Out
You can want change badly and still get nowhere if you are guessing. We are done tiptoeing around that truth. If fat loss feels like a constant cycle of “I swear I am eating 2,000 calories” followed by no progress, the problem is rarely willpow...
#87 Less Friction, Better Results
The hardest part of getting fitter is not always the gym session or the calorie target, it is the moment your normal routine clashes with the people you love. When you start training more, drinking less, or making different food choices, it can...
Less Biohacks, More Results
You can learn every new health hack on the internet and still get nowhere if your calories and training don’t match your goal. That’s the blunt starting point for this chat between Larry and co-host Daniel, sparked by the kind of “fitness noise...
#85 To Hyrox Or Not to Hyrox....
Hyrox is everywhere right now, and the question we keep getting is simple: “Should I do it?” Larry and Daniel take a proper look at what’s really pulling people towards Hyrox, from FOMO and fitness trends to the very real desire for community, ...
Motivation & Disipline
Motivation is a brilliant feeling and a terrible plan. Daniel and I get into why so many people stall in their fitness journey, fat loss, training, and nutrition when they keep waiting to “feel ready”, then blame themselves when the buzz fades....
#83 Scale Sanity
The scales can ruin a perfectly good morning, and not because you suddenly gained fat overnight. Larry Doyle and Daniel get brutally practical about what your weigh-in is actually showing: body weight, not body fat, and a messy mix of water, di...
#82 - The Real-World Guide To Tracking For Fat Loss
Tracking can feel like a minefield: calories, steps, weigh-ins, sleep scores, heart rate, VO2 max, and a dozen apps all asking for your attention. Daniel and I cut through that noise and get honest about what actually helps real people make pro...
#81 - Alcohol
A few drinks can be grand. The real question is what they quietly do to your week. We sit down to talk alcohol, calories, and the Irish social side of drinking, without the preachy tone and without pretending everyone should live like a monk. I...
#80 - How to Maximise Your Coaching Experience
Most people do not avoid coaching because they hate training. They avoid it because they think they will fail at it. We get that, and we have heard every version of it: “I don’t have time”, “I won’t be perfect”, “I’ll mess up the plan”, “I need...
#79 Eating Out , Fat-Loss Friend or Foe ?
Eating out can feel like the moment your calorie tracking falls apart: no labels, bigger portions, hidden oils, and that split-second “sure I’ll just get whatever” decision. We’re not buying the idea that meals out are automatically out of your...
#78 Training For Busy People
Being “too busy” is not a character flaw, it is a planning problem. Daniel and I get blunt about why so many training plans fail real people with real lives: the coaches who say they train busy people often have no clue what a genuinely packed ...
90 Days To Summer
Summer is 90 days away and the “I’ll start when life calms down” excuse is about to get expensive. We sit down and map a practical 12-week fat loss plan for normal people with jobs, kids, social plans, stress, and a calendar that does not care ...
#76 - Low hanging fruit - Making results easier.
Tired of chasing hacks that never stick? We’re pulling the camera back to show how simple, low-hanging habits quietly drive the biggest wins: steadier energy, calmer cravings, better workouts, and a brain that actually wants to go to bed. This ...
#75 - The Steve Jobs Approach To Health, Fitness, And Daily Routine
What if getting in shape felt easier because you made fewer decisions, not more effort? We unpack a Steve Jobs-style approach to health and fitness that strips away noise and builds calm, repeatable systems. From wearing the same reliable kit t...
#73 The Missing Link - How To Unlock HUGE Results
Ever feel like you’re “doing everything right” yet the scale won’t budge? Larry and Daniel pull apart the quiet habits that erase progress—patchy tracking, shaky measurements, and blind trust in barcode scans—and show how small leaks become big...
