I'm a celebrity personal trainer — swap out this ingredient to eat healthier

Welcome back to What's Cooking, Metro's food series where we find out exactly what's going on behind the scenes in the nation's kitchens. So far we've snooped through Jamie Oliver's kitchen as well as that of a former flight attendant who shared plane food secrets and what she eats after a trip. This week we're rifling through Scott Harrison's cupboards, fridge and freezer in East Hertfordshire. The 51-year-old is a personal trainer to the stars and the founder of Six Pack Revolution, an online fitness, nutrition and personal development programme. The father-of-three has spent the last 10 years of his life helping other people to reach their own fitness goals, including celebrities like Rylan Clark, Peter Andre and Denise Van Outen. If you're wondering what game-changing swaps you can make to meals to eat a little healthier and what a PT really eats when no one is looking, we've got the answers… Tell us a bit about your job… I was picking my kids up from school one day in 2015 and I looked around at the other parents and was shocked. They were overweight, buckling at the knees and I remember thinking it wasn't a good look for people who were meant to be role models. Then I realised I was one of them. So at 42, I decided I was going to get a six pack in 90 days. I blogged it on Facebook and I called it Scott to Hot. About 36 people said they wanted to join me on the journey and I told them, I'm not messing around here and 19 of those people got to the finish line with me. The results of those 19 people blew everyone's minds. People started begging me to do another programme later in the year, and 120 people joined that one, which was when I realised I had something. To cut a long story short, we now have tens of thousands of people join every year with participants in over 90 countries. What's it like working with celebrities? It's been a real blessing. I kind of fell into this job accidentally and somehow managed to get into the celebrity world too. I helped Rylan Clark get a six pack and we're good friends now – he even mentioned me twice in his latest biography. His transformation is incredible, he actually didn't need to lose weight, it was the opposite, he needed building up. He was going through a divorce and he was in a right old mess, so we had to do things a bit differently for him, but it's not just about weight loss, it's about wellness. Sara Cox has also become a friend through it, as well as Sara Davies from Dragon's Den – they're just normal people who've got different jobs from the rest of us. How have your eating habits changed since becoming a personal trainer? I've never been a big junk food person but I used to eat and drink out a lot and this is very calorific. I don't do that as much anymore, I make a lot of food myself instead now. When I'm following the Six Pack Revolution plan, I eat six times a day – three main meals and three snacks. Sometimes I switch this up and do two meals, two snacks and two meal replacement shakes. At the end of the programme, I try to find a balance between eating well, but still being able to be a bit naughty and go to social events and indulge. You can keep your results and still party twice a week, it's the best of both worlds. What's your guilty pleasure food? I love spaghetti bolognese with piccalilli, I can't eat spaghetti without it now. It was something a close friend of mine passed down to me and everyone needs to try it, because it's amazing. It has to be a really vinegary, cheap piccalilli, something that's like £1 a jar. It doesn't work as well with a posh one you'd get from a farm shop. Sometimes I like to get a slice of crusty bread and spoon the bolognese and piccalilli on top and eat it off the bread like an open sandwich as well. Is there anything you'd never eat? I'd never eat a McDonald's, unless I was starving and it was the only food left in the world. It just tastes like plastic. I'm used to eating whole foods now, so something so processed and gross doesn't interest me, I'd rather go to a proper burger place or make my own. Have you got any store cupboard must-haves? I have granola mania. I'm obsessed with it, I could easily eat an entire box, but the stuff you buy from the supermarket can be quite high in fat and sugar, so I came up with my own version and it's called quinola. It's made with quinoa and it's got a fraction of the sugar in it. It also contains nuts and seeds, some dried fruit and a little bit of honey. I pair it with Greek yoghurt or soya milk, but mostly yoghurt. Name one item that's always in your fridge… I'm always snacking on carrots and hummus, so they have to be in there. We have our own recipe book at Six Pack Revolution, and it's got a hummus recipe, so I make my own. I quite like to do a roasted red pepper and chilli one or beetroot hummus. It's so useful to have in the fridge as you can add it into so many other things like wraps or salads. And tell us about something you always keep in the freezer… It's boring but I always keep some tortilla wraps in the freezer and a bag of frozen veg. For a quick and easy meal I grab a can of tinned fish, something with a bit of spice in it ideally, and I just mix it up with some of the cooked veg. It's really tasty and you can make it in minutes if you microwave the vegetables. What's one ingredient you'll always be willing to splurge on? The one thing I spend silly on is beef. I've easily spent £100 to £120 at the butchers on a rib of beef for a Sunday roast – something very fatty and juicy. The more expensive it is, the more likely I am to go for it as I assume it's got to be better. I also eat a lot of sushi so I make sure I have good quality fresh raw fish from a fishmonger. How about one kitchen staple that's not worth splashing the cash on? Tinned tomatoes. I don't think I've ever found any that taste any worse than another brand. When you add them to a dish, you're normally adding garlic and herbs and spices as well, so that's where all the flavour comes from anyway. Do you have any game-changing cooking tips for healthy eating? If you don't want to add salt to your recipes but are worried your food will taste bland, I've found a healthier alternative. You can swap out the salt and add some white pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice instead. It really lifts the flavours of a meal, just like salt does. Those two simple ingredients make everything come to life. More Trending Finally… what's been cooking in your kitchen lately? My go-to meal is a rack of lamb in an orange and chilli sauce. Believe it or not I got the recipe from an Australian Women's Weekly Cookbook from the 1970s. The sauce is made from orange juice, sweet chilli sauce, whole grain mustard and a few other bits. I serve it with new potatoes and then some vegetables like broccoli or peas and it's incredible. View More » Want to take part in What's Cooking and let Metro raid your kitchen at home?

NEIC Start Up Entrepreneur class of 2025 graduate

The NEIC (North East Inner City) Start Up Entrepreneurship programme's graduation ceremony for its 2025 programme at a "Dragon's Den" style event was held at the headquarters of aircraft lessor Avolon today. Participants pitched their new business ideas to a panel of dragons including former Dublin GAA football player Paddy Andrews and Scale Ireland CEO Martina Fitzgerald. Business ideas planned by the graduates included the hire and repair of sustainable e-scooters, AI-powered predictive energy management and blockchain-based cybersecurity software solutions. The NEIC 10-week programme provides the opportunity for young people aged between 18-30 to develop their business idea and build their competencies as an entrepreneur. The programme was created in a partnership that included the NEIC Initiative, TU Dublin Growth Hub, Inner City Enterprise, Open Doors Initiative, Dogpatch Labs and Avolon. "We are committed to maximising educational, training and employment opportunities. Through NEIC Start Up, we empower young people to explore self-employment, unlocking business ideas and building a brighter future for the NEIC Community," Jim Gavin, Chairperson of the Programme Implementation Board for the NEIC Initiative, said. Tom Cooney, Professor of Entrepreneurship at TU Dublin, said the NEIC Start Up Programme is a powerful example of how TU Dublin and community partners are unlocking the entrepreneurial potential of young people in Dublin's inner city. Fionn Crowley, Chair of Avolon's CARE Committee, said the programme provides participants with tangible skills to succeed as they look to take the brave step of launching their business idea. "Avolon started its life 15 years ago and has grown to be one of the world's leading lessors, and we welcome the opportunity to celebrate this group of young people on their entrepreneurship journey," he added.

From Nova Scotia's 'Wind West' to Alberta's pipeline dream, here are the national projects premiers are pitching Carney

OTTAWA — Think of it like the premiers' edition of Dragon's Den. When provincial and territorial leaders meet in Saskatoon next week, each will arrive armed with a list of projects they want fast-tracked and are seeking federal money to get off the ground. While Prime Minister Mark Carney has not signalled that he plans to act like a venture capitalist to finance these endeavours, he has promised to speed up the timeframe from five to two years for massive infrastructure and energy projects to secure the necessary approvals by creating a new major projects office. Doing so would happen through legislation planned to be tabled by the end of June, expected to be combined in a bill to fulfill Carney's other promise of eliminating federal trade barriers. He has said he wants that to happen by July 1. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. A welcome email is on its way. If you don't see it, please check your junk folder. The next issue of Sunrise will soon be in your inbox. Please try again Interested in more newsletters? Browse here. A background document, titled 'major projects and proposed national interest legislation,' prepared by the Privy Council Office and obtained by National Post, outlines how Carney's government intends to fulfill his federal campaign promise to 'build, baby, build.' 'The legislation would be designed to enable upfront decision-making on a small number of projects,' it reads. 'Once a project is determined to be in the national interest, federal reviews will shift from 'whether' to build these projects to 'how' to best advance them. It will streamline multiple decision points for federal approval and minimize the risk of not securing project approval following extensive project work.' It goes on to highlight how the forthcoming legislation would lay out the factors that would be used to determine how a project would be considered to be in the 'national interest.' 'Projects will also be assessed against Indigenous and provincial (and) territorial interests and their clean growth potential.' It adds that leaders have asked that mines, nuclear facilities and ports be prioritized along with 'other infrastructure.' According to the document, the legislation would include a list of 'national interest' projects, adding that the government could add to that list through various orders. 'Once determined to be in the national interest, a project would be prioritized and benefit from a seamless, single point of contact — the major federal projects office.' 'This will include coordinating Crown consultation processes and ensuring federal resources are prioritized to the most important projects.' It goes on to describe that a regulatory order stating a project was in the national interest would allow the legislation 'to provide that all subsequent federal regulatory requirements are deemed to have been satisfied' and that a 'conditions document' would be issued to address impacts of the project, which could include 'mitigation measures.' Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson is slated to be on hand for the upcoming first ministers' meeting to discuss the efforts around project building. In anticipation of the premiers' gathering with Carney, provincial and territorial leaders have submitted lists of projects they hope will be selected for speedier approvals. It was an ask Carney made to the leaders following a meeting held back in March as a way to bolster Canada's economic power against U.S. President Trump's tariffs. In the lead up to the upcoming meeting, National Post contacted every premier's office about their requests. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has named the Ring of Fire, a long-dreamed-of mining project in the mineral-rich Hudson's Bay lowlands. Recently, his Progressive Conservative government's efforts to name the area as a 'special economic zone' — a power it was seeking to grant itself through a controversial piece of legislation known as Bill 5 — was met with backlash from environmental and First Nations' groups. They voiced concerns that it weakened environmental protections in the name of cutting red tape, and threatened First Nations' constitutional rights to be consulted on major projects on their territories. In response, his government said it would amend the bill to affirm its 'duty to consult' First Nations as outlined under section 35 of the Constitution. The background document on the proposed federal legislation said it would reflect the duty to consult Indigenous rights holders, adding that obligation, as well as existing environmental protections, 'will be respected while balancing the economic growth agenda.' However, environmental groups like Greenpeace Canada have already raised concerns about potentially bypassing environmental rules and stated that clean energy projects ought to be prioritized over expanding fossil fuels. Ahead of his meeting in Saskatoon, Carney met on Thursday with Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak. He also met with Natan Obed, president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, the national Inuit organization. Woodhouse Nepinak has said she understands the frustration some First Nations chiefs have been expressing about the government's approach to fast-track projects, saying they need to be at the table when decisions are being made. Carney told CBC in an interview aired this week that when the leaders gather in Saskatoon, 'we are going to name specific projects to which these fast-track approvals apply so that the country can get moving.' As for projects provinces and territories have been pushing, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is asking for federal support to build a 'one Canada trade corridor' through its Port of Churchill, located on Hudson's Bay. In a letter sent to Carney this month, Kinew says the project would also need federal money for icebreakers to create a longer shipping season in the Arctic waters of Hudson's Bay, and for new energy transmission and generation for power. Meanwhile, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston plans to advocate for federal support to develop offshore wind energy and export it west by building a cable across the country, a project he calls 'Wind West.' In a slickly-produced yet-to-be-released video, Houston says Nova Scotia has the potential to power up to 27 per cent of the country's electricity and that it could make the province an 'energy superpower.' 'Canada would be even stronger with Energy East and Wind West,' he says in the video. TransCanada announced back in 2017 that it was cancelling its proposed Energy East pipeline that would have carried oil from Western Canada to New Brunswick and Quebec. Both Alberta and Saskatchewan have called on Carney to repeal laws critics say have been hostile to pipeline development, namely the Impact Assessment Act and tanker ban off of British Columbia's northern coast, which were ushered in under his predecessor, former prime minister Justin Trudeau, and have long been a source of contention. In this week's throne speech, read by King Charles III, Carney's government outlined how it wants to make Canada an 'energy superpower' both through clean and conventional energy. While Premier Scott Moe's office says Saskatchewan has submitted a list of projects ranging from conventional energy to mining and critical minerals, a spokesman for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she provided 'a list of Alberta's priorities,' including 'a clear commitment to work with Alberta to build an oil pipeline to the northwest B.C. coast.' Other priorities listed include repealing the impact assessment act, tanker ban, emissions cap, as well as net-zero electricity regulations. Speaking to reporters on May 16, Smith said she plans to push for the Northern Gateway pipeline to be revived, a project which Enbridge had proposed but was ultimately cancelled following pushback from Indigenous communities voicing concerns about the risk of it running through B.C.'s northern coast. The Privy Council Office has not yet responded about which provinces and territories have submitted lists of projects to be considered. staylor@ National Post Get more deep-dive National Post political coverage and analysis in your inbox with the Political Hack newsletter, where Ottawa bureau chief Stuart Thomson and political analyst Tasha Kheiriddin get at what's really going on behind the scenes on Parliament Hill every Wednesday and Friday, exclusively for subscribers.
