ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH YOUR WEIGHT- Then you don't need to be. (read this, let us help you, it's worth it)

Finding clarity to achieving long term weight loss and improving your health is not easy with so much conflicting advice around today.

At Human Performance Ireland we decided to make it simple. Easy to understand the how, the why and what needs done.

So, creating a deficit of calories (in other words energy) is the ONLY way through which the human body loses weight. That comes with good and bad news. The bad news is that you actually need to eat less than what you burn to lose weight and so secret foods, or exotic combos alone will not help you in any way. The good news is that any type of diet will yield more or less the same result in terms of weight loss. That means that you can absolutely stick to the food plan that suits your preferences, as long as it ticks the health requirements and of course as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn. However eating too little is just as bad as eating too much, you need to know how much to cut per day with and without exercise in order to not damage yourself further and avoid turning down your metabolic clock (fuel burning efficiency). Therefore following a diet when not knowing how many calories your body is burning is like playing with a loaded gun. Wearable devices like Garmin, Fitbit and Apple watch are all based on an average height, weight, gender calculation or algorithm, don’t be fooled these are not accurate or even close. However if you use your individual to you, precise metabolic test result and input those into your wearable device then walla, you're now measuring accurately your caloric burn which will lead to exact science based weight-loss gains…no guesswork and it works.

Human performance Ireland is results based, we measure your system using a scientific metabolic analyser. We debunk the myths, give scientific facts based on your precise evidence-based test results and advice applying a pragmatic sensible approach to overcoming your limitations in all areas of exercise, health and nutrition.

Some friendly tips on great muscle recovery whole food choices from HPI :

Protein is essential for building and repairing bodily tissues and maintaining lean body mass and bone mineral density. Incorporating 25-30 grams of protein in each of your meals may enhance feelings of fullness, thus promoting weight loss.

We’ve selected the top 5 protein sources that you can add to your diet this summer.

Chicken: Chicken is one of the most popular types of animal protein. Its consumption has well-documented health benefits, but different parts and ways of preparation factor into how healthy your chicken meal turns out. Chicken breast is the healthier cut, containing 122 calories, and 24 grams of protein per 3 ounces.

Egg whites: Egg whites pack around 67% of all the protein found in a whole egg. Their protein is called albumin. They contain no fat or cholesterol. The white of an egg has just 16 calories and 4 grams of protein, making it a very smart way to add protein to your diet, without adding many calories.

Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a very good source of protein, containing around 10 grams of protein per 100 grams. It additionally is a good source of calcium which promotes bone health and can reduce the risk of osteoporosis. It can provide our body with probiotics that may help restore a healthy bacterial balance within the gut.

Soybeans: Soy is a high quality plant protein which, unlike most other plant proteins, provides all the essential amino acids. Soybeans are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and they are also rich in antioxidants. One of the main nutrients which most of the health benefits of soy are attributed to, is phytoestrogens, particularly isoflavones. Although more studies need to be performed, it remains prudent to recommend soy products in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Almonds: Almonds are actually a seed. However, they are often grouped with nuts and they are considered a high protein option. In addition to being high in protein, almonds are loaded with antioxidants. These plant compounds protect the body from free-radical-induced oxidative stress, which can lead to aging, heart disease, and some types of cancers.
