  • 25 Fat Loss Tips {Live Talk}

    25 Fat Loss Tips {Live Talk}
    Jan 13 2026
    This is a live recording of a talk I did at my local gym for the members, the talk was called 'The Fat Loss Blueprint', which covered 25 tips and tricks to maximise your fat loss efforts. This was the full list of tips I covered in the talk, so you have a record of them:

    THE FAT LOSS BLUEPRINT
    1. Know what your actual goal is (as it’s not just fat loss. And own it)
    2. Calories are king (15% deficit is ideal)
    3. Protein needs to be 1.5-2g per KG body weight
    4. Fat & carbs make up the rest, in a balance that is optimal for you
    5. Real food is king
    6. Be a good chef
    7. The true cost of “f**k it” moments
    8. Breakfast like a pauper because of the stomach stretch reflex
    9. Fasting is OK for men, often an issue for women
    10. Alcohol, past a point, will hold you back
    11. Performance supplements can be fat loss supplements (caffeine, creatine, beta alanine)
    12. Cover your basics with supplements first (multi, omega, electrolytes)
    13. Food intolerances must be found
    14. Whatever steals your energy, say NO to it
    15. Set your home environment up for success & be organised
    16. A lack of sleep screws up everything
    17. Whacked hormones can make everything harder
    18. Training is a stress, manage your stress bucket otherwise all systems suffer
    19. Training too much can make you lazy and gain weight
    20. Always look to build or retain muscle when dieting
    21. Move lots every day is a big hack
    22. Poor movement = inefficient burn (and recruitment)
    23. Pain will always hold you back
    24. Invest in skills you lack
    25. If you get stuck in victim mode, work out how to get out.

      Know you’re AWESOME and deserve everything you want!

    2025: The Year of FREEDOM
    Jan 4 2026
    Question, how free do you feel as a human? Physically, mentally, emotionally?
    For me, FREEDOM is the goal in life, and that was what 2025 was about for me, but at a level I have never even accessed before. A level I was unaware of in the human experience. The level of true freedom, in the soul!

    Yes, the podcast is back, and it feels good. In this show I'll look back over 2025, my goals, what I achieved and how you can learn from what I leart, and, my one word for 2026!

  • #684 - Knowing when to quit

    #684 - Knowing when to quit
    Oct 6 2022
    Knowing when to quit something in life is key, otherwise things sour, we get resentful, and we aren't doing things that keep us fulfilled and whole. It could be a job, a relationship, a commitment to someone else. We often use logic to decide whether to quit or not, but this is wrong, which I'll explain in this show.

    This is the penultimate podcast for Ben Coomber Radio, if you listen in, I'll explain why it's time to quit...

    #683 - Metabolism, can we increase it?
    Sep 29 2022
    We're often sold products to help us "increase our metabolism". Many believe they have "a slow metabolism". There are many metabolic myths, this podcast breaks them all down, defines both metabolism and metabolic rate, how we can increase it, whether products like 'Lumen' - a metabolism hacking device is worth it, and a few other musings, all aimed for us to improve health and body composition. Enjoy.

    #682 - Diet Culture & Motivational Quotes
    Sep 22 2022
    Diet culture is a problem, but it's also misunderstood in many ways. We re-look at this important topic and evolve our thinking on it, looking at fitness culture, how information is communicated online, the definition of it, how it intersects with mental health, how we should conquer our goals, and finish with a look at our favourite quotes, whether they are motivational or not, and how motivational quotes actually work in the brain.
