Raging end of a cut hunger and all things The Cookie Dealer UK for a cookie rating.

We are back after a summer break.

Catching up on Tough Mudders, summer shredding and midnight hunger tomatoes.

Return of the C&C cookie ratings and we rate Creme, London.

How the body fights being lean, rants about trainers trying to sound more clever than they are by using long words and more.

We are back and we are ranty. More so than usual. We go in on virtue signalling as well as an in depth look of what it is currently like to travel to and return from an Amber list country. Jack also discusses his holiday in the Falkland Islands.

We go over all of our go to diet hacks. Tactics, food choices and how to pump up the volume.

Plus a full analysis and ranking of the super markets.

The one where we open up on our own experiences of body dysmorphia and insecurities.

After a grim round of 'guess who's dead' and our own bucket lists if we had a year left on this mortal coil, we delved into:

• The PT who shamed burger eating client
• Looking at ourselves in only a certain light and focussing on flaws
• The impact of getting very lean/competing on body dysmorphia
• Always comparing ourselves to our best
• The 5 stages of lean
• The false image portrayed by fitness influencers and its impact on people
• Being objective with ourselves rather than emotional

oh and more waffle as usual!

Joined by MNU certified nutritionist, the wonderful Sophia Taylor of Apollo Nutrition for this very open, honest and no holding back conversation.

We covered her experiences of eating disorders and mental health, leading her to the path of becoming a nutritionist and mindset coach to help others.

A really interesting one where we covered a range of topics ranging from:

• Influencers and social media
• Tracking and intuitive eating
• Relationship with food
• Impact of childhood and upbringing on body image and eating
• Mental health and its impact on eating issues
• The anti diet, fit at any size movement
• Bad coaches creating a bad relationship with food
• Babies called Keith

And many more in this insightful and thoroughly enjoyable episode. More to come from Sophia with her upcoming live podcast series.

We kick off with our general chit chat; dissecting Jack's 30k calorie challenge in one hour https://youtu.be/3NEishkgZx4 plus a bit of BeardMeetsFood fanboying.

Talk Easter chocolate and how its far better in October. That pec tear video (shudders just typing that). Desperation for a leg extension on 12th April.

Then your questions for us to waffle about in the Qwaffle section.

• What are your favourite apples?
• Is it harder to do a cut or to build muscle?
• Do I really need to walk 10,000 steps a day?
• Why should I go with a coach when I can get a set time transformation program for a fraction of the price?

We are joined by NABBA bodybuilder Matt Doyle in this truly honest, insightful and inspiring account of how he came back from ulcerative colitis, having his bowels removed and to take the stage again with a stoma bag.

Matt openly delves into his life, training, diet, and how it has been affected along with battling depression.

An excellent, hilarious and candid episode exploring the important topics of mental health, stomach issues and health, as well as bodybuilding, competing, being a doorman, gyms, steroids/drugs in sports and how to get the best hospital food.
