This is my 200th edition of the email newsletter. It started out with just 72 subscribers four years ago and now goes to a few thousand and it continues to grow (Thank you to everyone who had their friends sign up to it!). I have learnt plenty of things these last four years and of course during my almost 10 years of helping people lose weight.
I have summed up some of the main things I have learnt over the years in the first article today. Getting in shape is something that should be very easy to do. However, this theory is not close to reality as showed by the 75% of the population who is overweight and the ever increasing obesity rates. Read more today to understand the underlying issues behind this and more importantly what you need to know to achieve your goals.
The second article is another case study. This time from Neill Kelk. He came to me stuck because he was exercising a lot yet not getting results. Neil turned his body around in no time! Following this he got married and now is expecting a baby. The best piece of this story is that he continued to get results long after he finished working with me. Read more about how he did it and how you could do the same.
The final article is about filling the void that occurs when you stop any behaviour. Contrary to popular belief you are not some monster who lives only chocolate/cake/biscuits etc. Instead, you are someone who is doing this behaviour for a reason. So when you stop the behaviour you need to replace it with a something to fill that need. Read the article to learn more about how to do this.

The first article is detailing five foods that many people consider healthy yet more often than not make you fat. The whole concept of healthy living that we have today is flawed and thus around 70% of the population is overweight. For the number to be this high it cannot be because we sneak the odd bit of bad food here or there. It can only be because our total model of what is healthy is flawed. That is the only explanation that could account for 7 in 10 people not being in the shape their genetics designed them to be in.


The second article carries on from last week detailing a numbers 6 to 10 in the top ten gym mistakes. If you do exercise you will make much better progress and enjoy it more when you eradicate these problems. If you are still not exercising, I will repeat what I said last week. GET UP and do something. Your body hates inactivity and wants you to get some blood flowing.

The final article details what happens when happens if you start looking at people around the world and the differences we exhibit between person to person. The medical model views us as all the same, to allow standardised procedures -in the real world we are far from this. Read more about how this applies for your body and getting results.

one2one nutrition news




The first article is about the Fats, the biggest villain in all of nutrition as we have been led to believe for many a year. The only problem is the studies have never shown that to be the case. The real world does not support it neither, the population is out of shape yet we try to eat low fat. How has your low fat diet helped your body fat? If you are still believing that low fat is the way to get into shape then you need to read this article. If you think saturated fat is still something to fear then you are going to be struggling for results. Take a look.

The second article is to a simple fitness test. It is so important to measure fitness training to some extent because most people miss out on the motivation that getting fitter produces simply because they never measured it. At the same time, other people do not see that their body is bored of their current exercise routine. This is shown by a failure to get fitter. Anyone can take these tests so give it a go.

The final link is from my daily motivational newsletter. It identifies some great questions to ask yourself. They are not quite as easy to answer as they may first appear but they point the way to what you need to do to get results. Answer these for some insight rather than simply doing more of what you always have done which produce the same results that you have always got.

The first article is about what I term Fake Thin People. These are people who are apparently in shape despite their lack of effort. They can prove very frustrating to those of us who are trying hard to get into shape. There are different types of Fake Thin people and it is important to understand their influence upon you. Read the article to understand this interesting phenomenon.


The second article is a link to an active stretching programme. Follow the pictures of me doing the routine. This simple warm up prepares you for the day ahead and will often get rid of minor injuries and aches. Try it for five mornings in a row and once again before you go to bed. Let me know how it helps your body.


The final link is from my daily newsletter. This discusses the issue of how to go about achieving your goals. It details the merits of the all out 100% efforts versus the game of moderation. It is important you understand these concepts and apply them as appropriate.

Issue 177:

The first article is about testing gut function and the mucosal barrier. Your digestive tract is at the core of your health and your immune system is based here. When health deteriorates you can almost guarantee that your digestive system has become compromised. You can test to see the integrity and state of the gut. The first article explains the test which can identify infections, bacterial growth and more. Read the article to learn more about the role and different elements of digestion as well as testing you can do yourself.


The second article follows on from the last two weeks which detailed the types of resistance training you can use. Follow the link to see a sample session you can use to combine almost all the different types. Long term you should separate them out but for a bit of fun try the routine set out. You will need a bit of lifting experience to follow the plan. If you are new to weights then set about learning to do free weights.


The final article which is from my daily newsletter discusses how you should react when someone calls you fat. Though it is rarely said in such a blunt fashion your response to other people implying this is very important. Read the article to understand this whole process and the different elements within it.

How to control hunger and more types of resistance training

Issue 176:



Signed up for the newsletter yet? Confirm your subscription and receive a bonus information guide on a choice of four topics.



one2one nutrition news


The first article is about hunger. Many of you reading this will suffer from strong hunger pangs, have to eat 5-6 times a day and resist cravings left right and centre. This is not a nice place to be nor is it optimal for results. Read the first article today to understand what frequent hunger means and how it affects your chance of getting results.

The second article continues on from last week. Here I detail four more types of resistance training techniques and how they should be brought together within a training plan. Do not be one of those people who do the same weight programme week in week out and then either stop making gains or just give up.

The final article from my daily newsletter is about filling the void. It is all very well saying stop eating this, or drinking that. However, for most people the food or drink is fulfilling an emotional purpose. Therefore you will need to replace rather than simply remove the behaviour. Read more about this today and follow the Mind-Body change exercises at the end to start Changing Your Thinking and Changing Your Shape.

How to Eat less, Discovering Food Sensitivities and the different types of Resistance Training


Issue 175:



Signed up for the newsletter yet? Confirm your subscription and receive a bonus information guide on a choice of four topics.



one2one nutrition news




The first article looks at the Mediator Release Test (MRT). This test uses a blood sample to identify what type 3 and 4 food sensitivities you have. This is important because these adverse food reactions can occur up to three days after eating a food. Therefore, you could eat an apple on Tuesday and sneeze on Friday. This makes detection very difficult. The article discusses the other types of food sensitivities as well. Read more about this whole issue as it is a major blocking factor which prevents most people getting the results they want.


The second article is the first part about the different types of resistance training technique you can use. There are eight in total and the first four are discussed here today. It is important to understand this as most people just use one technique all their lives while it is vital to rotate between the different strategies.


The final piece from my daily newsletter discusses how to reduce the amount of food you consume. This looks at it from the angle of helping the planet and also your body. Take a read of the article and spend some time answer the mind-body change exercises at the end.


Hope you are well
