If you follow a bunch of these annoying fitness people like me, you'll probably notice they're all talking about Christmas ๐ โ โ โ It's either; โ โ โ a) Stick to your diet all through Christmas, have one slice of Turkey and a brussel sprout on Christmas Day. Make your family do press-ups before they open their presents โ โ or โ โ b) Go wild. The more chocolate you can cram into your mouth every day of December, the healthier your relationship with food will be. Live a little! โ โ โ Neither approach is right or wrong โ โ YOU get to decide how you want to do Christmas Reader, not some jumped-up influencer on Instagram with AI-generated photos and 50,000 followers they purchased from China โ โ โ BUT โ โ Your actions will always have consequences โ โ โ If you're reading this email, you're probably looking to lose some fat at some point (either that or you just like laughing at my typos) โ โ And if that's the case, you probably want to be a bit careful in December โ โ Sure you've got; โ โ
โ โ โ All good. โ โ โ But if you eat and drink whatever you feel like at all of these, January ain't gonna be pretty โ โ โ If you go with option a) and just let your hair down, you could easily be 7 pounds (3kg) up between now and January โ โ โ If you already want to lose 20 pounds, you've just added ANOTHER 7 pounds on top, which will make your overall weight-loss journey even longer (maybe by another 7 weeks) โ โ โ If you just DON'T gain those extra 7 pounds you are starting from a much better place โ โ So, it's not about all or nothing approach at Christmas โ โ In fact, both are shit โ โ You should probably aim to be somewhere in the middle โ โ Enjoy 3 days of indulgence (Xmas Eve to Boxing Day) and make sure the rest of the month is pretty normal โ โ And just aim to maintain your weight โ โ โ (It'll be so much easier to do this if you're weighing yourself daily) โ โ It puts you in a very powerful position in January โ โ โ You can either be happy that you've enjoyed Christmas and gained zero weight โ โ OR โ โ If you do want to lose weight, you haven't added weeks and months onto your timeline in 2025 โ โ Or you could just eat like an idiot and gain 10 pounds โ โ You do you. โ โ If you want to take action in 2025, reply to this or DM me on Instaโ โ โ โ Joe โ WhatsApp: +447590988201 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/joe_johnson_9_to_5/โ Review Me: https://g.page/r/Cff1IczzxIbBEBM/reviewโ Website: 9-to-5-nutrition.comโ Email: joe.johnson@9-to-5-nutrition.com |

January is finally over You made it Reader, well done ๐ It's still pretty cold and dark, but we're through the most depressing month of the year I'm guessing you would have tried to lose weight in Jan though... How did it go? Did you; a) Commit to the gym 6x times a week, get burned out after 3 weeks and quit? ๐ฅต b) Give up any food and drink that brings you any joy, get bored after 4 weeks and quit? ๐ฅ c) Get into a reasonable calorie deficit and start walking for 30-60 minutes a day? ๐ If the...

Don't worry, it's not what it sounds like (I've never set foot inside my local massage shop and I don't think I want to) ๐ What actually caught my eye was the poster on the front door "Fast Weight Loss for ยฃ10" COME ON PEOPLE. It's 2025 Fast Weight Loss for Ten British Pounds... Seriously? If it were that easy, no one would be fat We'd all pay a tenner, get our dream physique and live happily ever after We know it doesn't work like that.
