A little lesson on how we get fat... I'd like you to imagine a world without banks, or credit cards or any form of digital currency. This world is cold, hard cash only, in the form of notes that people carry around with them. However... You can't deposit the notes anywhere. You can't hide them under your mattress. The only...

We've had a question sent to us privately... "Please help, My daughters dad is bullying her about her weight. She is 12. She is laying in bed saying she is fat and ugly.

I've had a bit of lightbulb moment. Or maybe that should be "plant bulb moment" 🌱😬 This time last year I was so fed up and annoyed at the state of my lawn that I decided to dig it all up and start over. Yes, I have lawn issues!!

I'd like you to imagine that you're walking through town on a bustling, busy evening, perusing the options for a place to eat. You walk passed lots of different restaurants. Some look fairly empty. Some look fairly busy. Some look absolutely packed. If someone was to stop and ask you in that moment... "Why are some restaurants...

Pleasure. We all need it. We all find it in different ways. But how you find it can have a huge impact on your weight, shape, health, happiness and life. One of the most fascinating theories I've ever come across is the concept of a "pleasure budget". The theory goes that human beings need a certain amount of pleasure in our...

A little weight loss lesson... It's not what you eat, but how you THINK about what you eat that matters. Let's take a simple food. A biscuit. Now if you're at peace with the biscuit, relaxed about the biscuit, even grateful for the biscuit, it's highly likely that if you ate a biscuit, or even a packet of biscuits, you'd move...

We've had a question in our private mission groups. "Potentially a really daft question so apologies.... So over the last three months since losing weight I’ve been working really hard on my fitness.

We've had a question on our fan page... "Hi Liam, I don't know if you have been asked this before. If our bodies are constantly adapting to changes and we are staying consistent for years with training, a healthy diet and maintaining a certain weight, wouldn't our mind and body eventually accept that weight as our set point?" A...

Once upon a time there were our hunter gatherer ancestors. They died a lot. Usually of STARVATION. The ones who survived? The ones who were really good at storing excess fat, which could be used as fuel during times of famine. Every time a famine came along, causing them to EAT LESS to save food and EXERCISE MORE to find food,...

Dear Friends So you've seen i've started this CRAZY new diet. Well, to be honest, I'm not quite clear about the science behind it just yet. I'm just getting starting and I'm still learning. But what I can tell you is this. It just seems to make sense. But to help you understand it a bit more here's an example. I'd like to...

Do you start diets or fitness plans, fall off them, then beat yourself up for not being perfect? Then binge for the rest of the week because you'll "start fresh" next Monday?

Did you know that every time you go on a diet, from Weight Watchers to Slimming World to LighterLife, you raise your set point weight?
