Part of the success on my weight loss journey, where I've lost over 7 stone (45 kilograms or over 100 pounds), has been the simple action of walking. The beauty of walking while on this weight loss journey is the significant calorie burn compared to the effort it requires. Whether you're just popping in a podcast and going down the road for 25 minutes or going on an epic hike through the woods, steps can play a pivotal role in helping you lose fat.

If there's one thing I've learnt over the past year after losing 7 stone in weight (44 kg) (100lbs), it's that mental health and physical health go hand in hand. I now understand that every failed diet over the last 20 years was never really about the diet, but more about my mental health and mindset.

You've always seen those Grenade bars on the shelf but opted for the cheaper option.
