The first article follows on from last week's article on Food Sensitivities. As creatures of habit we often keep eating the same foods over and over. The average person eats only 17 different foods.
Eating the same foods greatly increases your chances of food sensitivities occurring and suffering the many problems they bring. A highly effective way to avoid this is to use some sort of food rotation within your diet. I have outlined a proposed strategy for this.
The second article details sleep and the importance it has upon your health. Today's society is so hectic that sleep is often the first thing that gives way in a crammed schedule.
Sleep however is the time when the body can recharge and repair tissue. A healthy body will have less reason to store body fat. Follow the tips outlined here to improve your quality of sleep.
The final article details the great success the Fijian rugby province of Northlands have had since I started sending them training programmes 10 months ago. I have some great memories of Fiji since the time I spent a week there in 2003. I am glad I helped the province to their first ever cup win. Read about their story in the final article.
If you would like further support in achieving your health and fitness goals then consider some personal training in London (Clapham) or metabolic typing on line.
Hope you are well

The newsletter today starts with a link showing the great success the Northlands rugby province of Fiji have had this year. Around 10 months ago I started supplying them with training programmes to follow.
The results have been fantastic in a very short space of time. Read the article today for full details of how the programme helped them.
I have been saying for a very long time that team training by the vast majority of rugby clubs leaves the players under exposed and ill prepared for the demands of an actual match. The standard of fitness of the average rugby player is much worse than for other sports.
The great thing though is the astute coach can make massive gains by simply using an effective training programme to help them climb the league table.
The second article is detailing the various types of training that must come together for you to optimally optimise your physical abilities and be prepared for all the different aspects rugby throws at you.
If you need any help to maximise your abilities and dominate on the rugby field then consider my Rugby Mentor or Rugby Nutrition courses.

The first article discusses food sensitivities. Your body can become sensitive towards any food. The more you eat a food the greater the likelihood you will become sensitive towards it.
This is causing a huge problem now because so many people are sensitive towards the very foods that are touted as 'healthy' by the mainstream media and experts. Read the article today to discover the most common foods that could affect you.
The second article follows on from static stretching last week. This covers active stretching. If you follow the set out routine each morning you will feel much more flexible and energised for the rest of the day. Repeat each day and you will soon notice some longer term changes.
The final article is about how EFT was used to reduce asthmatic symptoms in a doctor. The principles in this piece are applicable to any physical symptom. EFT is so quick to do you have everything to gain by trying it.

The first article introduces you to hair mineral analysis. Recently I completed the next level of metabolic typing testing. This further study takes an even deeper look into the body and introduces detoxification procedures.
A hair analysis shows what minerals are found within the hair and what this means in relation to your body. Hair analysis allows you to track heavy metals within the body and gives us an indication of how the adrenals, thyroids and other internal systems are functioning. Read more in today's opening article.
The second link is about static stretching. It is amazing how spending just 30 minutes stretching can make you feel like new. Often an exercise session is more wisely spent stretching and focusing on your breathing than smashing yourself on the treadmill.
If you have any injuries, generally feel stiff or have low energy then you need to read and apply the suggestions in the article today.
The final article shows why EFT has sprung from nowhere to world wide usage. It is because in many cases you can get results in less than an hour for problems people have suffered for years. In this example it takes just 15 minutes to remove a 50 year old phobia of open spaces. What phobias or fears do you have that you would love to get rid of?

Detoxification procedures
I am a balanced metabolic type. Accordingly I follow the appropriate metabolic typing diet plan. I also take the supplements designed for my metabolic type. This includes a specific formulation of multivitamin and various aids for digestion.
I recently did a hair analysis which revealed slight disturbances in the mineral ratios which suggests the body is in a resistance stage of stress. It also suggested metal contamination within the body. I therefore started undergoing various detox procedures to allow the body to sequester the metals and toxins out and thus allow the body to improve its metabolic efficiency.
Detoxification procedures
Over the last few months I have been doing various detoxification procedures. These include.
Coffee enemas
This technique has been around for a long time but more recently gained attention as it was used as part of Gerson cancer therapy. The idea is that the coffee solution is directly absorbed by the liver which causes it to become excited and work at a much higher rate therefore clearing toxins more effectively.
It is done by simply making a coffee solution using ground coffee and boiling water. After cooling the temperature of the liquid it can then be directly put into the colon and takes around 15 minutes. This is long enough to allow the blood stream to go through the liver 5 times.
Cell cleanse
This is designed to push the body into an alkaline state by consuming fruits, vegetables and Magnesium citrate. This draws acidic toxins from the cells.
Liver gall bladder cleanse
Designed to remove the gall bladder of any gall stones it is performed by drinking large amounts of apple juice for the preceding few days to the cleanse. On the day of the cleanse the gall bladder duct is relaxed through Magnesium citrate and a large amount of oil is consumed to force the gallbladder to contract. On doing this it expels any gall stones that have built up.
Colon cleanse
Through drinking a clay type solution and large amounts of water a gel like structure if formed within the colon. This is combined to a coffee enema and massage to clear the built up dry fecal matter on the inside.
Parasite cleanse
This is designed to kill parasites that may be living in the gut and draining the body of energy. Certain solutions are taken each day over a one / two month period while avoiding certain foods.
Skin cleanses -
Skin brushing.
Brushing the skin clears the pores and removes dead cells therefore allowing the skin to more effectively fulfil its function of heat regulation ad detoxification
Epsom salt bath.
The Epsom salts are believed to aid the skin and help the body recover through vital salts
Apple cider vinegar bath
Designed to aids the skin through the acidic Ph of the vinegar on the skin.
Castor oil skin rubs.
Mixing half castor oil and half olive oil then taking a bath it is believed to draw toxins from the skin.

The first article explains how your body shape influences weight loss. I am sure you have noticed that people store body fat in different patterns. This is indicative of the functioning of the major endocrine glands within the body.
The reason that this is important is because it is linked to food cravings and explains why people have different food cravings to each other. If you are relying on the foods you crave then this could be causing you to store body fat. Read this article for more information on this and how to use this information to get results.
The second article looks at aerobic training. Everyone should be doing this in some form. It ranges from something as simple as going for a walk to running a marathon. The key is getting the intensity right to get results. The article today details this.
The final article revisits my client Ghislain. He has lost over 25 Kg of fat and 10 inches around his waist. Read how he did it and see the amazing after picture.
Four months on from when I first posted his story he has lost still more fat and played rugby for the first time in two years last weekend. The difference being the last time he played he was a prop (generally the slowest and heaviest guy on the team) and now he is playing in the backs (Faster and smaller guys). Great stuff Ghislain.

The first article today covers hunger and the effect it has upon both gaining muscle and losing fat. Hunger is a sign that the body it wants something and this should be respected.
I have just finished a two day cell cleanse detox for the next level of my metabolic typing programme. It was the first time I have been hungry for 3 years since I started using metabolic typing. Luckily though it was just for two days. If you are one of those suffering long term with hunger then today's article is a must read.
The second article is a link to the EFT website. It reports on a study done in Australia where using Emotional Freedom technique prior to taking a conversion at goal significantly increased the conversion rate. A must read for any kicker and the underlying principle can be applied to every aspect of rugby performance from line out throwing to tackling.

The first article today focuses upon the underlying science behind metabolic typing and how this is applied to weight loss. The article details how your body functions at cellular level and what this means for achieving your health and fitness goals.
The second article delves into a common problem amongst exercisers. That is, how to avoid reaching a plateau. The key to exercise is that you are getting stronger and fitter from month to month.
Most regular exercisers are stuck on a plateau and they are actually not getting fitter. Signs to look for include boredom with your exercise routine or an inability to increase the level you are performing. Read how to avoid this and to rapidly increase your fitness.
The final article is an interesting one about how EFT can be used to change your taste surrounding certain foods. All too often we have a hatred for a particular food that goes beyond the actual taste.
This comes from our previous experiences where often our parents forced us to eat a food that was 'good for us'. The result is a hatred not related to the actual taste. The article today details how EFT can be used to remove this.

The fact most people have a fear of or dislike of exercise is a sad state of affairs. I have not met one person who doesn't feel better afterwards and thus enjoy exercise when they learn the different forms it can take and different ways to do it. I highly recommend you read the articles above to see how you can put in place a long term exercise strategy which will help you both physically and emotionally. There is nothing stopping you from starting a programme today!
The final article is about how EFT can be used to aid physical pains. Tying in closely to the above articles is how many people cite injury as a reason to not do exercise. This is a poor excuse. Exercise can always help an injury in some form. On top of that why not apply EFT to reduce the symptoms as well. Read the final link today to see how.

Static stretching should be used to restore ideal posture to your body. When your body is in perfect alignment you are naturally stronger, faster and fitter because your body moves more efficiently.
Read the first article today for more details on stretching which includes new techniques that can be much more effective than your usual 10-20 second hold.
The second article is about active stretching. This type of flexibility is used to mobilize every joint before training or playing. It also contributes to developing ideal posture and can often clear up minor injuries. Follow the set out exercises in the article today.

The newsletter today covers the issue of hunger and how it impacts upon losing weight. When it comes to hunger it is a great example of how we are all different. For every person you find who has strong hunger and eats every couple of hours you will meet someone who can miss a meal without the slightest problem.
It is not that either one of these is better than the other. It just shows how your oxidation rate within the cells is operating. Depending on this different people need to eat different foods. Read the article today to discover what your hunger pattern means for losing weight and being in great health.
The final article discusses the other reason people eat. Which is because of a craving caused by an emotional or behavioural reasons. This is a great article which details how one lady only had cravings for Budweiser beer and not just any old beer. This was because this brand of beer had particular emotional attachments for her.

The newsletter today covers the issue of hunger and how it impacts upon losing weight. When it comes to hunger it is a great example of how we are all different. For every person you find who has strong hunger and eats every couple of hours you will meet someone who can miss a meal without the slightest problem.
It is not that either one of these is better than the other. It just shows how your oxidation rate within the cells is operating. Depending on this different people need to eat different foods. Read the article today to discover what your hunger pattern means for losing weight and being in great health.
The final article discusses the other reason people eat. Which is because of a craving caused by an emotional or behavioural reasons. This is a great article which details how one lady only had cravings for Budweiser beer and not just any old beer. This was because this brand of beer had particular emotional attachments for her.

Rugby fitness training - Adopt this attitude for long term success and team training

Rugby fitness training
The first article focuses on a single mental strategy that I have seen help numerous people attain results.The article details adopting a better or worse approach to your training and eating. When this approach is taken you are able to make choices and decisions from a different perspective. It removes the all or nothing approach which destroys consistency in most people. Take a good look at this article and incorporate this principle into your own mind set.
The second link is about team training and the approach most clubs take. For a long time I have stated that rugby clubs are too soft and as a general sport rugby players show nowhere near the mental toughness or desire for fitness compared to other sports.
There are few other sports out there that do two months fitness work followed by 10 months of nothing except for the odd occasional fitness session. It is a disgrace, trust me, if you go down your local athletics track, running club or martial arts school you will be doing fitness session in session out. Why rugby doesn't do this baffles me and it is no surprise to see players who are not in good enough shape to handle the demands of Rugby.
In the second article I outline some things team sessions should be incorporating to counter this.
If you need any help this off-season to maximise your abilities come the start of next season then consider my Rugby mentor or Rugby nutrition courses.

Rugby fitness training
The first article today details how to build muscle. The desire to gain weight is often the main goal for players in the gym. I feel the focus on gaining size is a detriment to most players training routines. Contrary to popular belief it is the strength of a rugby player that determines on field success not the size of their muscles.
Traditional body builder training does not produce the same improvements on the field as traditional strength training. The article today details how to gain muscle and optimize your body for the rugby field.
The second article covers sprint training. This is one of the most important areas for training and one that sadly is not really done in team training. There is no substitute for speed and the article today details the different types of speed and ways to improve your ability.
If you need any help this off-season to maximise your abilities come the start of next season then consider my Rugby mentor or Rugby nutrition courses.

The first article reviews the evolution and history of metabolic typing. The science of Metabolic typing is based on the theory of adaption. Which states animals (including humans) adapt to the land before them through natural selection.
The article looks at the more recent developments of the science which started with Weston A Price and his global study of how different tribes consume different diets depending on their location around the world. Read more about how the science developed and why you must incorporate these ideas if you want to optimize your health and fitness.
The second article looks at static stretching. I love stretching and find it the perfect way to wind down or relax after an exercise session or week of work. You can do it anywhere from in front the TV to down the park. Today's article gives you an overview of how, what and why you should stretch.
The final piece is a case study about my client Charlotte Walker. She came to me just before her birthday with the goal of losing weight and easing her back pain. She is now 2 dress sizes down and free from her back pain. Read about how she did it in the final article today.

What hunger really means is discussed in the first article and you can use the form provided to eliminate its effects and dramatically improve your results from training.
The second article revisits Core training. Often this area is overlooked by players yet it forms the foundation of speed and strength. I would urge you to read the article today and ensure you are using these techniques within your training plan.

One of the biggest fallacies in health and nutrition is that there is a one size fits all diet that will work for all of us. Metabolic typing has different nutrition plans for different people depending upon how your body is functioning
The first article today shows two metabolic typing diet plans. You can see how different foods have contrasting effects on the body. Though these cannot be followed unless you know your metabolic type they will hopefully serve to show that no two foods have the same effect. Remember if you are not getting results now there is a good chance the foods you are eating may not be healthy for your body.
The second article details some exercises you can do in the gym to accelerate and promote weight loss. The combination of correct exercise and correct eating is an irresistible force when it comes to weight loss.
The final article is a short review of my client Beverley Colley who lost two and a half stone in almost no time. She is now looking and feeling great. It is always great to see large transformations in body weight as it has such a great influence in all areas of your life. Well done Beverley.

We all crave foods from time to time. A food craving can come from a nutritional need, a desire for water or from an emotional and behavioural connection to eating.
The first article details the different types of foods people crave. This can vary greatly between any two individuals. The article shows how this is linked to your body shape and what you can do with this information. The reality of food cravings is they are just a symptom of another problem. They are either from a miscalculated nutrition programme or a sign of emotions which need addressing.
The second article discusses hitting an exercise plateau. This is a common problem for regular exercisers. The goal of exercise should be on making you fitter and stronger week by week and month to month. Many exercisers are not actually getting fitter nor stronger because their body has become bored with the exercise programme.
Read more about this in the second article.The final link details an EFT case study about a 5 year knee pain. I have used EFT in exactly the same way as this article details. It is amazing to see someone's pain disappear before your very eyes but this often happens when you use EFT to address underlying emotions to a pain.

The first article today details rotating your foods. As creatures of habit we all like to eat the same or similar meals day in day out. This is not so bad if you are sure you are eating the right meals for your body but most people are not.
Even when you are eating the right foods it is important to try to rotate what you are eating so in any one week you can go two days without consuming any one specific food or food group.
Read the first article today to follow this principle using the system I have set out and watch your body transform over the weeks to come.
The second article follows on from learning to run last week. This is about other forms of aerobic exercise and what to do once you have established the ability to run.
The final article is a link through to the EFT website. Most people do not believe the mind nor emotions are connected to your physical body. This is a little ironic as most people understand the placebo effect which is the other side of the same coin.
The article details the effect of EFT on a six years neck pain and also on IBS. When EFT works on physical symptoms it is something that transforms your view point on how the body works. I would encourage you to try this for yourself and see how it affects you.

The first article today details rotating your foods. As creatures of habit we all like to eat the same or similar meals day in day out. This is not so bad if you are sure you are eating the right meals for your body but most people are not.
Even when you are eating the right foods it is important to try to rotate what you are eating so in any one week you can go two days without consuming any one specific food or food group.
Read the first article today to follow this principle using the system I have set out and watch your body transform over the weeks to come.
The second article follows on from learning to run last week. This is about other forms of aerobic exercise and what to do once you have established the ability to run.
The final article is a link through to the EFT website. Most people do not believe the mind nor emotions are connected to your physical body. This is a little ironic as most people understand the placebo effect which is the other side of the same coin.
The article details the effect of EFT on a six years neck pain and also on IBS. When EFT works on physical symptoms it is something that transforms your view point on how the body works. I would encourage you to try this for yourself and see how it affects you.
If you would like further support in achieving your health and fitness goals then consider some personal training in London (Clapham) or metabolic typing on line.
Hope you are well

Food sensitivities are a major reason why people fail to achieve the results they desire. A food sensitivity is a subtle negative reaction to a food. Often you will not spot this until the food is eliminated for a good few days. The first article details food sensitivities. If you are struggling to lose weight then this article is a must read.
The second article is a simple plan to have you running in just a few weeks. The summer is here and there is no better time to be outside exercising. Anyone can learn to jog and there is not better time than the present.
The final article details the story of George Fox. I like to keep you posted on how my clients have progressed. You will remember four weeks ago I told you how Anu Brady had maintained her amazing results for over a year. A week before I told you about Ghislain who had lost 21 Kg. He is now down 25 Kg.
Today I revisit the story of George Fox. He was suffering extreme low energy when we began working together. As you can read he made a great transformation and now almost a year later he has maintained and improved upon the results he achieved.

Over the last few weeks I could sense that my body felt slightly different. This feeling was accompanied by a gain in body fat of 1% despite doing nothing different. I have seen this many times before and knew I had to re-test my metabolic type.
As I predicted my body had changed and I am now a different metabolic type. This means I need to eat different foods to before.This event is quite common and many of my clients come to me with similar stories about how they gained weight despite doing nothing different. If nothing has changed externally then it must be inside where the changes have occurred. This issue is covered in the first article today.
The second piece revisits resistance training and its effect on losing fat. If you are trying to get in shape fast then this should be the first place of call in your exercise routine.
Resistance training has some unique benefits. One of these is a change to your hormonal environment which promotes fat loss. As with everything in life there are ways to do it right and way to do it wrong. Review this article to be sure you are on the right track.
The final piece details the many amazing benefits Emotional freedom technique (EFT) can bring. I would suggest you look here for a solution to any issues or problems you have had for over a year. EFT is a technique which often works where all else has failed.

The summer is just around the corner. The gym is busy once more as people eagerly try to get in shape for their upcoming holidays.The first article takes you right down to the basics of getting in shape.
Quite simply, your nutrition lies at the heart of getting results. Central to this is discovering what foods will actually help you lose weight.
Contrary to popular belief there is no such thing as a healthy food per se, only a healthy food in relation to your body. This means we may need to eat different foods to lose weight. Metabolic typing is the system to accurately determine what foods you need to lose weight. Read about it in the first article.
The second article discusses sleep and how it can influence whether you are in shape this Summer. Sleep is an overlooked factor for most people in getting results yet this is when the body can respond to the exercise and good nutrition you have been eating. There are a few principles about sleep you need to understand which are covered in the article.
The third piece is the story of my client Anu Brady. I trained her earlier this week and it reminded me that not only has she gone from a dress size 16 to a 10 she has maintained her results and is still a size 10 a year later. Great stuff! Read about how she did it in the final article today.
One last bit of information is the Lead Britain to Wellness campaign. I have joined up with 9 other personal trainers from across the UK. Over the next ten weeks we will all take a Seminar. I am not sure when I am speaking but do follow the link to sign up for the series. The first 500 places are free. and the teleseminar series begins today.

The first article relates to how you can flatten your stomach without even losing any body fat. The core refers to the groups of muscles that surround the spine and support your whole mid section.When these muscles are strong they will automatically flatten and pull your stomach inwards.
Read the article today for the full run down on how you can use this area of exercise to look thin and also protect your back at the same time.
The second article talks about the whole concept of healthy food. One of the reasons everyone is struggling to lose fat these days is that we have been conditioned to believe there is one healthy nutrition strategy for everyone. To compound this the one size 'healthy diet' we are told to follow is not the best it could be.
Read this article to learn and understand why the very foods you are eating may be causing you to gain body fat and why there is no one nutrition strategy that everyone should follow.
The final link is a case study from my client Ghislain Juvanon. He has an amazing story to tell and has so far lost 21 Kg. He came to me after already making some great strides on his own.
Working together we have accelerated his progress so that he lost a further 9kg and almost 6 inches around his waist.Take a look at the picture of him holding up the trousers he used to wear just two years ago. They were a full 10 inches bigger.
This story should act as inspiration to anyone who feels they have a lot to lose and finding it a little daunting to start your journey.

Rugby fitness training
The first article today details the key ingredient to getting a 6 pack. That is your nutrition. You can do all the training in the world but if you do not get your nutrition right you will never a get a six pack.
To have a set of abs you need to reduce the fat over them so your muscle definition can be seen.To get your nutrition right you must eat the right foods, in the right amounts and avoid any foods your body may be highly sensitive towards.
Metabolic typing is the nutrition system tailored to your exact needs to allow you to get the results you desire.Nutrition is such a difficult area for most people because we are all very different. What works for one person will not work for the other.
How do you know if you have got your nutrition right at the moment? Take a look at whether you have or have not got a six pack? Metabolic typing can guide you to find the exact foods your body actually needs not just what you think and hope you need
The second article looks at the subject of plyometrics. To do this type of exercise you need to perform jumps, hops and bounds. These movements charge the muscles to be able to produce force rapidly and efficiently.
Fast and efficient force production is what determines sprinting speed and thus plyometrics are a vital tool for rugby performance.
Hope your training is going well

Almost everyone has suffered or currently is suffering from pain in their knees, hips or back. I would say the majority of my clients have a weakness in one of these areas.
Often a weakness is lurking below the surface so the only time you can see the injury is when the body is put through an exercise routine. e.g. your knees hurt when you go jogging or squatting to the floor etc.
The great thing about injuries is that you can remove almost all of them using the simple techniques outlined above. A must read if you have any aches at the moment.
Closely linked to this is the second article on static stretching. I have lost count of how many back injuries I have cleared up using just static stretching. Often stubborn 3 or 4 year injuries just disappear upon the application of some clever stretching.
Stretching is not as simple as it first appears so read the key points in the article today.
The final piece today is a link to the EFT site which details how to address chocolate cravings. This one food can be the main stumbling block to some peoples success.
I have found that you must first identify the mental connection between you and the chocolate (or any other food / behaviour) then use EFT amongst other techniques to remove it.
If you would like further support in achieving your health and fitness goals then consider some personal training in London (Clapham) or metabolic typing on line.
Hope you are well

The newsletter today starts off with an article on supplements. I do not mention supplements that much within my newsletters as my main concern is that most people are eating the wrong foods for their body while thinking they are healthy.
Supplements are another area of nutrition where the advice is as confused as ever. In my article today I outline what supplements can be used for, which can be beneficial and how some can do you more harm than good.
The second article is on the psychology of exercise. Following these simple techniques you should be able to trick yourself into exercise every time you put up an excuse not to do some.I find the key is convincing yourself to start doing some exercise.
Once you get going you usually enjoy it and feel grateful you did some. Use the tips outlined in the second article to achieve this.
The final feature is a link to the EFT website detailing how using Emotional freedom technique can reduce and sometimes remove a physical pain.When learning EFT I was astounded when my calf injury from rugby disappeared after one minute of tapping. When the same happened on a client with knee pain I submerged myself in the study of this strange looking but fantastic technique.
Pick from one of the many case studies on the site and try it yourself. You may just be surprised with the results.
If you would like further support in achieving your health and fitness goals then consider some personal training in London (Clapham) or metabolic typing on line.
Hope you are well

The second article is an audio recording and goals sheet for you to download. This can be used to plan out and decide exactly what you are trying to achieve.
The final article is the second part from last week. It details the next five most common gym mistakes made day in day out.

A better or worse approach to healthy living - Let this attitude free your mind
A Better or worse approach to health
This principle is perhaps the key element underpinning how to make choosing healthy choices an easy and fun thing do.
It drives me crazy when I hear people say "that XXX is bad" or "XXX is healthy". Statements such as above are unhelpful and cause more harm than good.
Let me illustrate. First ask yourself these questions about how the following activities impact your health and whether they are good or bad:
Eating cereal for your breakfast
Running 10 km
Drinking milk.
Eating one piece of chocolate a day.
Being 18 stone (115 Kg, 250 Lbs).
I am sure you have gathered the answers to these. The truth is you cannot answer these questions with the information you have.
Do not get me wrong, you will find a million experts on TV, radio and amongst your friends happy to tell you that the above behavior is good or bad for you. The truth is these behaviors cannot be answered as good or bad.
Life is relative - nothing is absolute.
The strange thing in life is everyone is desperate to label things. People want to label you as a certain type of person, they want to label things good or bad and people want to label your behaviour.
This is beyond logic. The only way to deem something good or bad is to compare it (silently or subconsciously) to something else. Therefore if it is compared to something else you are talking better or worse. Let me explain why this is important using the above statements:
Eating cereal for your breakfast -
The TV adverts tell you this is the way to go but what if you are intolerant to Milk and / or wheat. Would it be better to have no breakfast rather than cereal if this is the case? Maybe changing the cereal would help. What if I had left over dinner for breakfast? The truth is some people will do awful having breakfast for cereal each day and not achieve their goals. However some people will do well on it. It is neither good nor bad as a general term.
Running 10 km -
If your muscles are not working efficiently then the joints are not protected and running will cause more harm than good. However there are very few people who cannot correct these imbalances and then use jogging effectively for many of the amazing benefits it has to offer. Whether 10km is ideal depends on how often you run it and what your body is able to handle. Some experts would say this is too much aerobic exercise but compared to doing nothing which is better? You cannot say running is good nor bad.
Drinking milk -
Promoted as good for your bones is milk good for you? What if you are intolerant to it, would it be better to have none than to continue to have it for the calcium? Maybe it is not a lack of calcium in your body that is stopping you losing weight, maybe it is another mineral, and would drinking milk help that? Deeming milk good or bad does not come close to answering these questions.
Eating one piece of chocolate a day -
Questions to ask would include how much chocolate are you having, what would happen if you did not eat this chocolate? Would it be better to spend 10 minutes on your mental connection to chocolate than going down the gym today or watching that TV show? Eating chocolate like all other health issues is neither good nor bad. The question is how much can you eat and get the results you want?
Being 18 stone (115 Kg, 250 Lbs) -
If I was 20 stones last month would being 18 stone this month be considered bad? What if it was the reverse?The above should show you that it is time to drop the good or bad labeling for ever because it is irrelevant and does not help you in any way.
View the world as better or worse
I must reiterate this as it is one of the most important principles in losing weight and the key to free your mind mentally. Adoption of this one mental strategy is enough to get you to your goals if you truly understand its power and meaning.
Tell your friends and experts alike.
When your friends, family or celebrity TV experts next say something is bad you should immediately ask………compared to what? When someone tells me something is good or bad I almost immediately switch off as it shows they have no truly thought about what they are saying.
Such statements are very counter productive. They undermine your beliefs and the result is you feel trapped.In the end you hear so many people say everything is bad it becomes almost pointless and you think, what am I meant to eat?.....I will just eat anything.
I had this exact feeling a few years ago. I went to many lectures on organic food. All I heard was how non organic food was bad for you. These world respected lecturers provided a strong argument about how bad non organic food could be for your health.The result was I didn't want to eat non organic vegetables. However this left me in an awkward position when I could not find any organic vegetables.
I would therefore not eat as much as I should have and often felt hungry. A hungry person is almost guaranteed to eat refined foods or quick fix options which compared to eating non organic vegetables is not even in the same ball park.
At this stage I realized that these experts had it all wrong. Yes, their meaning was correct in lets try to eat organic vegetables. However their message of delivery was poor. However it showed me that everything is along a scale and that I must always ask myself the better or worse questions.
For the above I would now ask if it is better to eat these non organic vegetables compared to going hungry and being tempted to eat pastries, breads and other foods that dominate our diet now. For me the answer is a resounding yes for non organic vegetables. Would it be the same for you?
View the world as relative.
I want you to switch off when you hear someone say that something is bad for you or good for you. Instead ask how it could be better or worse in comparison to other behaviours and how you can improve what you are doing.
Take this attitude further for great results.
If you want to adopt this attitude and then use metabolic typing, exercise and EFT to achieve your health and fitness goals then consider working with me through personal training here in London or On line.
