TheWeightAndPlate is written and run by me, Ben. I am 23 years old and have been involved in fitness and overall health for 8 years. I take a more practical approach to my health and follow scientific journals and research studies to guide my journey.
I am actually becoming a qualified nutritionist, not for a job but just to learn more about the science of food – trust me, it’s interesting when you get into it!
I have experienced it all, being a skinny teenager and bulking up quick at the gym (gaining about 20kg in 3 months in the healthiest way you can), loosing weight and toning up (loosing 15kg in 4 months) and currently maintaining where I am. I am an experienced gym lover, hiker, runner and swimmer, and I am very handy in the kitchen.
I feel with my experience and love of research and writing, I can really help others whatever their goals are, because I have done it myself and can give actual help and advice that works, because it’s worked for me! Workout plans, exercises, recipes or meal plants, weight loss or weight gain, or any overall tips along with the science behind it all, I really want to help others reach their goals and have the arsenal to back it up.
