Real talk though; we need to face the facts about dieting for weight loss.
On any specific approach over the long term, more people are
unsuccessful than are successful. On all approaches combined, more
people are unsuccessful than are successful. However... while successful
outcomes are the minority, they are not exclusive to any specific
approach....

The Latest On Weight Loss, According To Science And My Observations
As fate would have it, quite a few interesting articles regarding research related to weight loss have come out in the past few weeks since I posted my "why we should probably all stop offering weight loss coaching" article of a few weeks ago.
Now, unfortunately the...
The belief about food that you need to change in order to see success.
So, here's an idea for a post that I've had for a little while... and I want to start by letting you know that it is partially an observation and commentary on the fitness industry, but it will have a conclusion that will not only be applicable to the general public, but actually...
Why I stopped coaching weight loss for a few years there.
This was originally posted under another title on the old blog. A title that is no longer accurate since I'm now offering weight loss strategies again. Read on and it will all make sense, hopefully.
This is more complicated than you probably think.
People tend to want...
Ending the unhealthy obsession with calorie deficit.
Always take a selfie.
I'll try to make this as clear as I can. Calories In / Calories Out is definitely a thing, but people need to STOP worshiping this idea about "calorific deficit", because it's stupid.
Now, don't get me wrong... and in fact I'll address this pre-emptively...
I don't do meal plans. I do Custom Flexible Dieting Guidelines.
Pretty average photo from training
yesterday. I thought my shoulders were
looking good though.
I just don't, and I won't no matter how much someone asks or how much they offer to pay me. I just don't feel comfortable telling other people what to eat. The idea stresses me...

Why do people get fat? Because it's easy.
I have had a few ideas for some articles recently, but I've felt kind of
disillusioned at the moment like trying to talk sense just gets lost in
all the noise and idiocy that is rampant everywhere else.
I had this idea though for a "why people get fat" article.
Everyone's
looking for like a "root cause" like it's a mystery. We argue about whether...
Weight Loss For Idiots
I'm trying to organise my thoughts well enough to write some new articles. I have a couple of ideas for topics, and here's one of them.
I read a comment last night which I can't find right now... but a guy was some kind of exercise science student and he was saying the whole premise everything is based is that people are fat lazy idiots and if you...
My Free Weight Loss Program, now over 20,000 served!
This is GREAT!
Actually I'm a little ahead of myself, but the counter is about to tick over to 20,000 views before the end of the day, or by the time I get out of bed tomorrow morning at least. We're now averaging about 340 a day. That's AMAZING to me.
The first weight...
The one simple weight loss trick that guarantees results every time
Use this one simple, revolutionary trick for
amazing fat loss results like this!
Unlike other sites, this is actually one of my clients
and not just a couple of photos I stole from the internet.
I already took the piss out of those "one simple trick I stumbled...
Is it ok to eat fruit when you are trying to lose weight?
You'd be amazed how often this question comes up, and it doesn't help that there are "trainers" out there who give the wrong answer. I've even heard of people talking about carrots and other vegetables "having too much sugar".
Absolutely fucking ridiculous. I'm swearing because it actually makes me quite angry.
People need to have a healthy relationship...
Common sense look at IIFYM, continued.
Read the previous entry first, it's all about the If It Fits Your Macros approach to nutrition planning for weight loss.
For
long term results, all diets either succeed or fail due to providing
the appropriate amount of calories. I always talk about “appropriate
to maintain your goal weight” to rule out unhealthy over
restriction, but as long as...
IIFYM - Common Sense Approach To Weight Loss
It is a little ironic and unfortunate that while the motivation to lose weight may come from wanting to take better care of their health, the average overweight or obese person seems to adopt an unhealthy weight loss strategy more often than not. Usually this means extreme calorie restriction in the form of a crash diet, whether in the form of one...
information about burning calories through exercise
There's lots of new reading material over on the Lose Weight, No Bullshit site that you should check out. Start with my Eat More, Do Less; Lose Weight post from earlier in the week if you have not seen it already.
What we talked about in the that instalment was determining our actual requirements, rather than just sticking to the numbers we expect...
How the diet industry exploits vulnerable people.
I really should say "diet scam artists" rather than "diet industry" because I don't like to tar the genuine people people with the same brush as the horrible ones.
Over the past month or so I seem to have made a bit of a name for myself by calling out certain people and products for the dangerous and unhealthy methods they are pushing, or for the...
Choosing an exercise program for weight loss.
I used to say "the best form of exercise is the one that you're more likely to do, so choose something you can get enthusiastic about it and then go and get stuck into it". It makes sense, right?
Here's the thing though. When it comes to producing a specific physical result, not all forms of exercise are equally effective. Anything is better than...
