46 g of protein. 2 minutes. Zero cooking. 🥣 Save this for your next grocery run. 📌

Meet concrete yoghurt. It's thick, creamy, high in protein, and keeps you full for hours. The easiest breakfast for fat loss.

What you need:

🥛 200 g Chobani plain Greek yoghurt (0.5% fat)
🍦 1 scoop True Protein vanilla WPI
🌾 1 tsp psyllium husk
🫐 A handful of fresh berries
🍌 ½ banana (optional, if you need more carbs)

How to make it:

1️⃣ Add the yoghurt, protein powder and psyllium husk to a bowl.
2️⃣ Mix well until smooth.
3️⃣ Let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes. The psyllium thickens it into that signature "concrete" texture.
4️⃣ Top with berries, and banana if you're adding it.

📊 Macros (approx.)
Protein: 46 g | Carbs: 20 g | Fat: 1 g | 270 kcal (1,130 kJ)
With ½ banana: Protein: 47 g | Carbs: 33 g | Fat: 1 g | 325 kcal (1,360 kJ)

Why it works:

💪 Nearly 50 g of protein to support lean mass and keep you full
🌾 Psyllium husk adds fibre for satiety and gut health
🫐 Berries bring flavour and antioxidants for very few calories
🍌 Banana is an easy way to add carbs on training days

💧 Tip: drink a glass of water with it, since psyllium absorbs a lot of fluid.

Fat loss doesn't have to mean complicated meals. It's about simple, repeatable choices that fit your targets. Want to know exactly what those targets are? Your DEXA scan gives you your resting metabolic rate and personalised nutrition insights. 📊

📌 Save this for tomorrow's breakfast, and send it to someone who needs an easy morning option.

Been told to train at a certain effort level, but not sure what that actually means? 🤔

Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a useful way to gauge how hard you're working. It gives you intuitive feedback on where you should be training, but it's also quite subjective.

That's why it's best paired with objective data. 📊

A VO₂ max test shows you exactly what your maximum output is. From that single test, you'll know the precise intensities to work at for different types of training, whether that's building your aerobic base or pushing higher-intensity intervals to improve your VO₂ max.

Don't just train harder. Train smarter with real data. 🫁

The scales said our client gained 0.8 kg in four months. ⚖️

Nic came to us during a big training block leading into their first half-distance triathlon. They were putting in the work, but the scales weren't budging. Two DEXA scans, four months apart, told a very different story:

💪 Lean mass: +7.3 kg
🔥 Fat mass: −6.4 kg
📉 Body fat: 23.0% → 16.9%
⚡ Resting metabolic rate: +162 kcal/day

Same weight on the scales. A completely different body underneath.

💬 "After a strong training block, I was feeling really deflated that I hadn't lost any weight despite putting in so much work. I'm so glad I did a pre and post scan so I could see my actual results. Knowing my hard work is paying off is what keeps me motivated." — Nic

This is why body weight alone is misleading. It can't tell muscle from fat, and it can't show whether your training and nutrition are actually working. Watching only the scales, it's easy to assume you've stalled and change a plan that's clearly working.

DEXA breaks your body into fat, lean mass and bone, so you can see real change, not just a number going up or down.

Stop guessing. Start measuring. 📲 Book your scan via the link in bio.

Zone 2 training gets talked about a lot in endurance sport, but it can also be a really useful tool for long-term health.

At this intensity, you’re working hard enough to challenge your aerobic system, but still comfortably enough that you could hold a conversation.

Over time, regular Zone 2 work can help improve:

❤️ Aerobic fitness
🫁 How efficiently your body uses oxygen
⚡ Mitochondrial function and energy production
🚶 Your ability to keep doing everyday activity with less effort

That matters because cardiorespiratory fitness is strongly linked with healthy ageing and long-term physical function.

The good news is it doesn’t need to be complicated.

A brisk walk, easy run, bike ride or steady row can all count, provided the intensity is right for you.

For most people, the value is simply in doing it consistently.

Build the aerobic base now, so you can keep using it later.

Had a bone density scan and been given a T-score?

Here’s what that number is actually telling you.

Your T-score compares your bone mineral density with the average bone density of a healthy young-adult reference population. The further the score moves below zero, the further your measured bone density sits below that reference average.

For postmenopausal women, and men aged 50+, a T-score of -2.5 or lower at an appropriate site such as the hip or lumbar spine meets the DEXA criterion for osteoporosis. But importantly, a T-score isn’t interpreted in isolation. Age, fracture history and other clinical risk factors also matter.

And one thing that often causes confusion: a DEXA body composition scan and a clinical bone density scan aren’t the same thing.

A body composition scan looks at things like fat mass, lean mass and where that tissue is distributed, while a clinical bone density assessment typically focuses on specific skeletal sites such as the hip and spine.

So rather than focusing on one number, think of your T-score as one piece of the bigger bone health picture.

📖 We break it down in more detail in our latest blog: DEXA, Bone Density & T-Scores: What Do They Actually Mean?

If you’re training for a marathon, triathlon or another long-distance event, the best time to test isn’t the week before race day.

We’d normally recommend completing your VO₂ Max test and DEXA scan around 12–16 weeks before the event.

That gives you enough time to actually use the data.

A VO₂ Max test can help you understand:

🏃 Your current aerobic fitness
❤️ Your individual training zones
⚡ Where your threshold sits
📊 What areas of your endurance fitness may need the most work

A DEXA scan can give you insight into:

💪 Lean mass and how it’s distributed across the body
🦴 Bone density
📉 Body fat percentage
⚖️ Differences between regions or sides of the body that may be worth addressing within your strength programme

The key is that 12–16 week window.

It gives you time to adjust your training, strength work, recovery and fuelling before race day, rather than simply collecting data you can’t do much with.

Then, after the event or training block, you can re-test and compare.

Did your aerobic fitness improve?
Did your training zones shift?
Did you maintain lean mass through a high-volume block?
Did any imbalances improve or become more noticeable?
Did your body composition move in the direction you expected?

The goal is simple: get a baseline early enough to act on it, then re-test to see what actually changed.

There’s a lot of noise around weight loss right now, but the fundamentals still matter.

Here are five simple things worth focusing on first:

1. Prioritise protein 🍳
Protein can help with satiety and makes it easier to maintain lean mass while losing weight.

2. Increase your daily movement 🚶
You don’t need another brutal workout. More steps and general movement across the day can make a meaningful difference to your overall energy expenditure.

3. Keep resistance training 🏋️
If fat loss is the goal, don’t ditch the weights. Strength training can help you maintain strength and lean mass while your body weight comes down.

4. Take sleep seriously 😴
Poor sleep can make hunger, recovery and training consistency harder to manage. Seven perfect days of nutrition won’t fix months of running on empty.

5. Know your numbers 📊
Body weight alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Understanding your body composition and estimated energy requirements can give you a much better starting point for setting realistic nutrition and training targets.

There’s no single trick that replaces consistency.

Eat well. Move often. Train with purpose. Recover properly. Measure your progress.

Training harder is one way to improve endurance performance. Training with better information is another.

Our Endurance Pack brings together performance testing to give you a clearer picture of how your body is responding to training, where your current fitness sits and what you may want to focus on next.

With testing such as VO₂ Max and DEXA, you can better understand:

🏃 Your aerobic fitness and training zones
💪 Your lean mass distribution and body composition
🦴 Your bone density
📊 Areas worth monitoring across a training block
🔁 How your body and fitness change when you re-test

For runners, cyclists and triathletes, this can help take some of the guesswork out of training.

It’s not about chasing perfect numbers. It’s about establishing a baseline, using the data to guide your training and seeing what actually changes over time.

If you’ve got a marathon, triathlon or big endurance goal coming up, our Endurance Pack is a great place to start.

What can a DEXA scan actually tell you about your training?

This client had recently shifted from years of on & off weight training into preparing for a half-distance triathlon.

His scan showed some solid lean mass numbers, but it also highlighted a few areas worth paying attention to.

There was a noticeable difference in how lean mass was distributed between different parts of the body, while body fat percentage was sitting higher than he wanted for his endurance goals.

Rather than guessing, the scan gave us a clearer starting point.

From there, we could:

🏃 Identify areas of lean mass imbalance to consider within his strength programme
🥗 Estimate his resting energy requirements and provide a sensible calorie range for gradual fat loss
🏋️ Recommend movements such as single-leg squats and other unilateral exercises to support strength and balance between sides
📊 Give him objective numbers he can re-test against as his triathlon training progresses

The goal wasn’t simply to get lighter.

It was to understand how his body was changing as his training changed, then make more informed decisions around nutrition, strength work and endurance training.

Measure. Adjust. Re-test.
