Specifically the question should be, why do we accumulate pockets of fat in certain areas? But let me begin by telling you that fat is absolutely necessary. Besides its protective ability to withstand the elements, it is vital as an energy source, a host site for the storage of essential vitamins, a component of cell membranes and brain tissue.

We all have our own little ways of keeping ourselves in our happy place. I truly believe the key to staying there is to prioritise the things that make YOU tick. If accepting that invite to a party or joining drinks after work just makes your mind whirl for a feasible excuse, then simply decline the offer. At times, we can feel pressure to be social, to step out of our comfort zone and to connect with others. But sometimes others have the power to alter and challenge your values for worse.

At Body Catalyst, we have long held the belief that there’s no 'one-size-fits-all' when it comes to our bodies. Every body is different, which is why every person who walks through our door walks out with a different treatment plan. In 2018, we’ll start seeing this philosophy spread into the mainstream. Personalised EVERYTHING, deeper human connections, and self healing with spices are just some of the things we’ll be seeing more of in the year ahead.Personalised fitness products

We all know that calories do matter when it comes to weight loss or maintaining a healthy weight. In theory, you should lose weight if you burn more calories than you are taking in. This can work if it is done in the correct way and if you are focused on the quality of your food, not just quantity. However, too much restriction can result in malnutrition, muscle breakdown, nutrient deficiencies and even weight (body fat) gain.

At Body Catalyst we believe everyone should have the opportunity to look and feel great.

In the perfect world we’d get all the nutrition we needed from a healthy wholefood diet - macronutrients, micronutrients, the lot. Unfortunately, it just isn’t that simple! The stress of modern life coupled with relentless over farming of Australian soil, constant exercise and the environmental toxin load on our often undernourished bodies, means that a majority of us require a basic supply of the nutritional resources we need to keep us alive.

At Body Catalyst, we continue to strive to help our clients achieve their body goals. That is why we're stoked that Stephanie Darling dropped into Body Catalyst for a flatter stomach. Read about Stephanie's experience with cryolipolysis (fat freezing) here.

Last post, our Nutritionist Amy McKendrick, talked about four types of food that aren't good for us and what we can replace them with. The list continues...5. AVOID - Sugary processed cereals. These foods should never have been created. It is not a great way to start your day with cardboard disguised as food. They are ladened with refined sugars, flavours and gluten (protein in wheat, rye, oats and barley). Gluten is highly indigestible and can wreak havoc in the digestive tract and cause inflammation. The high sugar content is also extremely high glycemic, which causes spikes in insulin causing fluctuations in energy levels.
