If you read my How to Get Fat Post you'll have seen that what most people do for weight loss is counter productive. Weight loss is only hard because people make it hard by limiting their fat burning processes. Eat more and Stop Exercising is the anti-diet. It goes against everything we have been taught about losing weight. But it works. Not only that but it works long term. Here's how: 1. Eat More Eat more good fats, more quality protein, more vegetables, more often and drink more water. - People don't get fat by eating these, you probably aren't eating enough and are therefore quite low in fat burning foods and hormone optimizing nutrients. The problem with dieting all the time is that your hormones get screwed up. Then each time you try to lose … [Read more...]

According to my clients everybody these days seems to be an expert on weight loss. They tell my clients that the good fats they are eating are fattening, even though the client has lost over 2 stone. They tell them cardio is the only exercise that burns fat yet my clients are far in far better shape and do no cardio. They tell them not to get obsessed yet my client is the happiest they have been in years! That’s the problem, people seem to think they know the best ways because they have read it in a magazine or they may have even done a fitness instructors training course years ago. That does not make you an expert. I am fortunate enough to know many of the top professionals in the fitness industry. I know these people because I see them regularly at the conferences, … [Read more...]

Last night I watched a remarkable story about a man, David Smith, who lost 401 lbs in 26 months without surgery. He did it all through exercise and nutrition. Or did he? Watching the videos of him at his 45 stone weight it was truly remarkable to hear him speak. He spoke as if he  had already made a massive shift. He said that his trainer had saved his life, yet he was still morbidly obese. So that's why I question was it just diet and exercise that got him from here To here: And the answer is no. He didn't just use exercise and nutrition. He also changed his frame of mind. He changed his mindset, his thoughts and his behaviours to lose all that weight. In fact he even reported that losing weight was easy. that's right losing 401lbs was EASY!!! The reason it was easy was because … [Read more...]

In my last post I showed you the story of a man who lost 401lbs in 26 months. I talked about how he used more than just diet and exercise to do it. He also changed his mindset, he used his brain more effectively. And there's one more thing he did. He got support. The support came from his trainer Chris. He also had the support of his family. All too often I see people trying to go it alone. They try to get in shape by themselves, or worse when they do decide to make a change, their friends, family and colleagues try to pull them down. "You'll never do it, Ah go on just have one, why don't you just enjoy yourself?" These are comments you may or may not have heard but I've heard some shocking stories about husbands and wives not supporting the others decision to change their physique and … [Read more...]

Now is the time of year when you are being bombarded with messages to get fit and healthy. But 99% of the products being advertised are rubbish and some will even make you more unhealthy. Unfortunately the European directive for what you can and can't 'claim' in advertising is very loose. In theory you can make a chocolate cake and call it healthy, high in fibre, low fat, good for your hair, skin and nails, low in salt, high in vitamins, etc. Here are a few ads/products to be wary of: (they are mainly aimed at women as most guys tend not to follow diets, guys generally try to lose weight in the gym, unfortunately without proper nutrition this usually ends up in disappointment. 1. Special K. I saw a programme a while back where they examined the 'claims' of cereals. And the asked one … [Read more...]
