At Shred Box Gym in Kingsholm, Gloucester, we’re all about helping you train harder, feel stronger, and reach your goals — and that includes what you do outside the gym too.
When it comes to losing weight, smashing out sessions is only part of the puzzle. What you eat plays a huge role in your progress, energy levels, and overall results. The good news? You don’t need extreme diets or complicated plans — just smart choices and consistency.
Fuel Your Sessions, Don’t Fight Them
Many people think that cutting food means faster fat loss. In reality, under-eating can leave you tired, cranky, and underperforming in the gym. Your body needs fuel to train hard and recover well.
Focus on:
- Lean proteins (chicken, eggs, tofu, fish)
- Whole carbs (rice, oats, sweet potatoes)
- Healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil)
- Loads of colourful veggies for fibre and nutrients
Don’t Just Eat Less — Eat Smarter
Weight loss comes down to a calorie deficit, but that doesn’t mean you need to feel deprived. Swapping processed snacks for whole foods, sugary drinks for water, and takeaways for simple homemade meals can make a big difference.
At Shred Box Gym, we recommend:
- Eating regular meals to avoid crashes and binges
- Drinking plenty of water throughout the day
- Pre-workout snacks like bananas or oats for energy
- Post-workout protein to aid recovery and prevent overeating later
