Adam MacDougall’s simple tips for healthier living.
Adam MacDougall’s 10 Minute Man promise: get fit, be healthy and live a happy life in just 10 minutes a day. As a dual-premiership and former state and national representative rugby league player, he knows what it takes to succeed. And as an MBA graduate with certification in the fields of strength and conditioning, psychology, nutrition and exercise, he’s qualified to help you map out a pathway to a happier, healthier life.
As MacDougall puts it, no matter how busy, how unfit, how old – or how lazy! – you are, you can’t go wrong when you simply do what works. And the good news is, you don’t even need to give up the beers. Straight from the pages of The 10-Minute Man, here’s MacDougall’s Survival Guide to Drinking Beer:
If in doubt, have a glass of water before you crack that tinnie.
There are some good ones on the market now. If spirits are more your thing, use diet soft drinks or water instead of sugary mixers.
Eat before you drink so you don’t overeat later when your willpower – your insulin sensitivity – is low.
Aim to drink one glass of water for every alcoholic beverage so you don’t get dehydrated and mistake thirst for hunger.
Not only do they make you thirsty but they play havoc with your blood sugar levels.
