This week, I delve into the topic of how athletes can use refeeds and diet breaks to improve the overall efficiency of a fat loss phase.

This week, I give you the Lowedown on how I use diet breaks and refeeds with the athletes inside the 'Athlete Coaching Programme' to enhance their physique, improve their KPI’s and ultimately, make them a better athlete.

In today's solo episode of the pod, I discuss how you can successfully navigate both a fat loss and muscle building phase 'In-season' without compromising your performance on the weekend.
