The opening article covers the subject of fake thin people. These are people who are thin in spite of their actions not because of them. Fake thin people are a disaster for the average person because they look good yet if you copy their behaviours you will get disastrous results.
There are different types of fake thin people from those who just eat junk and still look fine to those who deny that they try to keep in shape. It is important for you to be able to distinguish the different types and then take this into your evaluation of their advice etc.
Fake thin people certainly do annoy me as they are a large part of the confusion that is out their in the world of getting in shape. At the same time you have to appreciate the amazing display of uniqueness the human body has within our population. We may look similar but we are also very different at the same time. This is why different people need different foods, exercise routines and behaviour coaching.
The second article looks at the issue of being stuck on a exercise plateau. As amazing as exercise is it t can be very misleading to the uninformed. This is because it will always get you sweating, out of breath, a burn in the muscle but it may not mean you are actually getting fitter. An exercise plateau is just that, the body gets a workout but it does not respond by becoming fitter. It sounds a contradiction but I would estimate 80% of regular exercisers if not more are stuck at this exact point.
Read the article today to understand how periodization, the science of structured programme design can overcome this.
The final link is to my Ten Week Shape Up Challenge. It is not too late to join in, we still have 8 weeks to run! Many people have already shed a lot of pounds. In addition, it is totally free! If you like my messages then get these daily and be able to speak to others on the forum. Follow the link to join me on this Facebook group.
If you are ready to achieve results contact me for a sample personal training session if you are in London (Clapham) or to discuss my on line results programme if you live further afield.
Hope you are well

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.
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.

What your hair can reveal about your body, static stretching and EFT for phobias
What hair mineral analysis says about your body.
Static stretching - Use these techniques to ease injuries and feel great
EFT for phobias - How a 50 year phobia disappeared in moments.

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?

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.

How to flatten your stomach and how my client Ghislain lost 21 Kg
Top articles:
The core - How to flatten your stomach.
What is a healthy food?
Ghislain - How he lost 9 Kg since working with me (21 kg in total)

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.

April 11th - Rugby fitness training - How to get a 6 pack and the benefits of plyometric training.
Top articles:
How to get a 6 pack - Nutrition nutrition nutrition!!!
Plyometric training - Jump, bounce and hop your way to better speed and performance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The first article is an overview of one of the most liberating attitudes you can take to health and fitness. The article details adopting a better or worse approach.
This attitude is at the heart of getting results and often separates those who do get the results they want from the ones that do not.
I cannot stand 'experts' and every other person who is keen to tell you why this food is bad or why doing that activity is unhealthy. To me this is missing the point as no activity can be good nor bad until it is compared to some other activity and compared to what your body needs.
Read the first article as it could be the key to getting results and freeing your mind from the bombardment of advice you receive from every expert and casual observer around.
The second article is a link to download the full 30 minute version of my pod cast. You can download this to your Ipod or computer and watch me discuss metabolic typing and how it relates to what foods you should eat, which foods you should avoid and how to determine portion size. A must watch if you are not aware of metabolic typing.
The final article is one of my favourites. It is the first part of the top 10 mistakes I see day in day out down the gym. It is such a shame that people waste their best efforts through a simple lack of knowledge. It is because of these mistakes that personal training can be so beneficial. Ensure you avoid these errors if they apply to you.

The first link today is to a video of me discussing metabolic typing which I recorded for a Pod 3 TV recently. The full 30 minute pod cast will be available to download for free in a few weeks time. You can watch a 5 minute video high light of this on my website by clicking the first link. It is also available on You tube.
The second article follows on from the learning to run article last week. Running is of course a form of aerobic training. However it is not the only method and the article today discusses this point and shows how easy it is to do and why it is so beneficial. Aerobic training is done in all my personal training sessions here in London.
Do not be mistaken, there is absolutely no one who should not be doing aerobic training in some
form to some extent. The benefits are just too great to miss out on. It is more effective than drugs on a host of health issues and is great fun. Stop the excuses if you are not doing any at the moment and use this article to inspire you onto a short easy routine.
The final article is a favourite of mine which I have run in the newsletter before. Ultimately everyone's goal is to be happy. These effective tips allow you to analyze your own life to see how you could be happier. It is thought provoking stuff.
This week I took my first visit to Sweden in my role as coach of the Swedish national rugby team. A 4 hour visit to the country hardly allowed me to get a feel for the place but it was productive. More importantly it allowed another country to be ticked on my face book travel map. I am up to 30 countries visited now.

Metabolic typing test
Metabolic typing analysis
The way to determine what your nutritional needs are is to discover your metabolic type.
A Metabolic Type is the inherited pattern of genetically-based strengths and weaknesses in the body’s fundamental control systems. Although tens of thousands of chemical reactions take place in your body daily, they are all regulated by just a handful of control systems, such as the Autonomic Nervous System, the Endocrine System, the Oxidation Rate, etc.
These inherited strengths and weaknesses express themselves in different ways in each person and they help to define our uniqueness as individuals. For example, one person may have strong digestion, but a weak heart. Another may have a strong heart, but weak eyesight. Someone else may have high motivation and a Type A personality, while another might be lethargic and have a Type B personality.
Correlations have been made between numerous physical, diet-related and psychological characteristics and the body’s fundamental control systems. Although it may be said that there are as many Metabolic Types as there are individuals, it is also true that all the characteristics fall into certain patterns or “constellations” that can be classified as the different Metabolic Types
Once your metabolic type is known it is possible to determine the foods and nutrients you need to be consuming. Through eating these you will give the cells what they need which will increase their efficiency and thus the health of your body.
The metabolic typing test questionnaire
The questionnaire is divided into three sections, these look at your physical traits, your dietary related traits and your psychological traits. These different traits have been correlated with the fundamental control systems within the body by various researchers of the last 40 years.
In order to complete the analysis you must answer over a 140 questions which is analyzed against the previous research. The analysis is unique because it is looking at the behavior of the body across all systems to give a pattern of how your body is functioning. It differs from other approaches because it does not use lab tests.
Metabolic Typing may be likened to obtaining information and understanding about a three story house through a blueprint of the entire house and all of its rooms. Using a lab test, because it involves one specific part or level of the body, would be like trying to understand the entire house through a blueprint of the kitchen (or any other single room in the house). Another way to look at it is that for example calcium may be high in the blood but low in the bones, therefore the lab test may be misleading for making nutritional recommendations.

An example of a metabolic typing diet plan.
An example of a Metabolic typing diet plan.
A metabolic typing diet plan is a graded system listing how each and every food will influence your body. It tells you exactly what foods to eat to lose weight, improve your energy and optimize your health.
Metabolic typing is so important because the foods that will give these amazing benefits are different for all of us.
The key to nutrition, weight loss and health is to work out the exact foods that will make you healthy. A healthy body will naturally and effortlessly lose fat and improve energy, specific health issues and general well being.
The metabolic typing analysis is 150 questions looking at various traits within your body. After computer analysis which cross references your data with over 30 years of research it reveals exactly how you body is behaving along the autonomic nervous system and oxidation system within the body.
This allows classification of your dominant metabolic type. The science aside what this means s you will know exactly which foods will make you gain weight and which will let you lose weight. so many of my clients are surprised to find the foods they are eating the majority of the time often end up being the ones they need to substitute with another enjoyed alternative.
For ease of use each client receives a colour coded food chart. These vary greatly from one person to the next and the following two examples show some stark difference from one set of nutritional needs to the other.
Please note how the foods are graded from best from for your body (Green) to worst for your body (Red). it is not as simple case of good or bad but a sliding scale.
Compare the differences between these two diet plans by seeing how the colour grade of each food changes between plans. These are two plans amongst six possible ones you can be classified along
The snippets of each plan show the possible contrast between different nutritional needs and thus represent why you may not have achieved your goals so far.
Metabolic typing is the most powerful system in the world and it is because of this system, and the fact I have my different clients on one of six nutrition plans I can get such great results and be able to confidently out the money back guarantee on all of my courses.
The fact the foods are graded means you no longer have to think good or bad but instead try to eat as many good foods as possible while reducing the worst ones. This removes the guess work and allows you to relax about eating once more.
Please do not try and follow any of the above recommendations as they only work for people of that metabolic type.

Every diet explained!
Diets explained – The pros and cons of every possible diet plan
There are more diets and styles of eating out there than is imaginable. Year after year new diets sweep into the market place. I have written this article to give you a better understanding of how, why and when diets will or will not work for your body.
Definition of a diet ‘working’
Many people say that a diet worked for them. What this means varies for each person. It may be they lost a few pounds or felt more energetic.
My definition of a diet working is a long term and maintained improvement in health symptoms with accompanying weight loss (or gain) if needed.
My viewpoint is losing half a stone to find you have put it on again 6 months later is not a sign of a diet working. Neither is losing 4 pounds but still suffering many negative health traits such like frequent illness, rashes, digestive pains, low energy etc.
Types of diets
I have tried to classify the major diets here but there are endless variations both within the main ones and the main types of diets. So some of the information may vary but it should suffice to give you an idea of what is happening nutritionally.
Jump straight to a diet:
Atkins, Metabolic typing diet, Healthy eating, Following food cravings, Junk food diet,
Average Western diet, Juicing diet, Blood type diet, Blood analysis diet, Glycemic index, Glycemic load diet, Food combination, Mediterranean diet, South beach diet, Low fat diets , Weight watchers, Zone diet.
Metabolic typing diet
Uses physical, dietary and psychological traits to classify the body along fundamental systems. This allows the specific foods and nutrients to be discovered for that individual person.
Pros – Accurately determines nutritional requirement and is specific to your own body chemistry. It allows for individuals to change nutritional requirements during their lifetime as seen in the real world. Encompasses a large variation in recommendations for different people which parallels what is seen in the reality. Head and shoulders above any other nutrition system and its scientific basis and results cannot be argued.
Cons – Can be complicated and difficult to understand if following on your own and you need to use a trained advisor to get a level of analysis powerful enough to create long lasting changes
Metabolic typing explained
Atkins diet
Requires the person to eat greater amounts of protein through meats and to use fat liberally. Suggests obtaining carbohydrate intake from vegetables, seeds, nuts and berries. The overall effect is a high protein, high fat and low carob diet.
Pros – Suggests removing grains from the diet which can benefit most people. It ensures you obtain adequate amounts of fat soluble vitamins and promotes consuming organic foods and vegetables. Will work for certain people short term but very few on a long term basis.
Cons – It does not account for the fact that people vary greatly and a low carbohydrate intake, especially to this extent, can be disastrous. It does not separate different form of meat and vegetables. It does not allow people to change nutritional needs over their lifetime
Low fat diet / Calories restriction
Many combinations of diet follow this theme, with the main emphasis on low fat, higher carbohydrates and controlled calories. Founded from mis-interpreted fat studies in the 1950’s. Forms the basis of Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and many more diets.
Pros – Can work for some extreme metabolic types. Any recommendation to reduce trans-fats is beneficial.
Cons – Disastrous for the vast majority of the population as depletes fat soluble nutrients and increases hunger. It does not allow for individual variance between people or for changes in nutritional needs over your lifetime.
‘Healthy eating diets’
As recommended by the government food pyramid and all general healthy eating guides. Is also incorporated into the popular diet schemes e.g. Weight Watchers etc
Has an emphasis on lower fat and higher carbohydrates and obtaining fruit and Vegetable in good amounts.
Pros – Any diet with emphasis on increasing vegetable intake will improve many peoples health. Eating lower fat and higher carbohydrate will work for some people’s body chemistry.
Cons – Does not separate out individual differences in food requirements, meaning such recommendations can be disastrous for many people. The advice does not cater for changes in nutritional requirements during your lifetime. Grain consumption is also linked to the majority of present day health issues and thus would not be good advice, except for certain people’s body chemistry.
Following your food cravings
Many people say their body knows best and thus it is only right to follow what it wants.
Pros – Works well if you are very in tune with your body and accurately following a metabolic typing diet and so would know that you are obtaining your exact nutritional needs.
Cons – Food is addictive chemically and emotionally and in 99% of cases food cravings are confused and nothing to do with nutritional needs. For example your body will crave a cigarette
if you have a few, but that does not mean it is needed. The more sugar or bread you eat the more you crave them also. Food cravings also drop back to your dominant gland and thus can lead to exhaustion if the stimulating foods are over consumed.
Junk food diet
Eating whatever food comes your way and not caring what it is.
Pros – None
Cons – Decreased health across the board
Average western diet
The average western diet is somewhere between a healthy eating diet, a junk food diet and following your foods cravings.
Pros – Very few benefits
Cons – Any possible benefits of a ‘healthy eating’ diet are usually off set by the Junk food or reliance on food cravings. This eating style is much worse for certain body chemistries than others.
Juicing diet.
Using a juicer to make any number of juices and smoothies.
Pros – Can obtain significant amounts of nutrients if done correctly
Cons – Normally lacks fat and protein amounts for good health. Reliance on fruit juice can be troublesome for many people. Does not account for the different nutritional qualities of fruits and vegetables, grouping them all together as good. Whether a food is ‘good’ is dependent on your
body chemistry.
South beach diet
The book recommends very little in reality but for removal of heavily processed foods and avoiding certain carbohydrates which stimulate insulin production. It is a mix of Atkins diet and the Mediterranean diet with far less restrictions
Pros – Recommends reducing processed foods which is of benefit to anyone as is controlling certain insulin rising foods
Cons – Doesn't account for individual differences and allows people too many foods that will be wrong for certain body chemistries. Sold 5 million copies but also holds the title as the having the most money spent on the marketing of any diet book.
Blood type diet
This bases food recommendations on your blood type which is said to indicate your genetic needs from our ancestors.
Pros – Acknowledges the fact we all have different nutritionally needs and focuses on whole foods.
Cons – Recommendations have no bearing on the person’s nutritional needs with the majority of his evidence criticized. Does not account for actual differences seen in the real world or changes during your life.
Blood analysis and diet recommendations
Food recommendations are based on results from your blood test.
Pros – Acknowledges the fact we all have different nutritional needs, and uses analysis to make recommendations.
Cons – Only uses a blood test to give recommendations. Blood is just one systemic level within the body. Put simply because you have high or low levels in the blood does not indicate whether you have high or low levels in the cells where it is needed.
Food combination / variation diets
Based on the fact that different foods secrete different enzymes which can upset digestion. Advises not combining certain food groups
Pros – Can help people's digestion if it is already severely weakened.
Cons – Can be dreadful nutritionally as the body needs protein, carbs and fat at each meal. Does not address the cause of poor digestion or identify different nutritional needs between individuals
Zone diet
Advocates a diet of 40% protein and 30% carbs and 30% fat.
Pros – Excellent for a proportion of the population
Cons – Does not work for the majority of people who's nutritional requirement varies from the recommendations.
Mediterranean diet
Based on what is commonly consumed in the south of Europe. The emphasis is on consuming unsaturated fats and carbohydrates.
Pros – Can work well for certain people.
Cons – Does not account for the variability between different people’s body chemistry.
Glycemic index (GI) / glycemic load (GL) diets
Makes nutritional recommendations based on the ability of the food to raise or lower insulin within the body (glycemic index/load).
Pros – Aims to reduce the glycemic foods you consume which will benefit almost everyone.
Cons – GI is only one minor factor amongst other variables and thus should not be used to determine what to eat. Does not account for individual difference in food requirements or the other contributions and factors in nutrition.

Four key areas of exercise
The four key areas of exercise
If you already follow an exercise routine or you are about to embark upon a new one; to ensure it’s success you must include the four key elements that come under the term ‘exercise’. Each of which play a vital and essential role on your health.
Cardiovascular (aerobic) training.
This refers to repetitive movements performed over an extended period of time, such as running, walking, rowing, cycling. Such exercises cause an increase in heart and lung activity.
The result is improvement in the whole cardiovascular system which expresses itself as an increase in our fitness, energy levels and the overall health of the body. The key element of aerobic exercise is ensuring your are getting at least slightly out of breath and varying the training programme to ensure you continue getting fitter. Performing aerobic exercise uses up calories and can positively aid fat loss, if done as part of a complete exercise and lifestyle programme.
It can be described as performing a movement between 1 – 20 repetitions, so that fatigue is induced. These exercises can use body weight e.g. press-ups, squats, dumbbells and weights machines. The benefit of such training is improved muscle tone in women, increased muscle size in men and positive effects on bone density. An unpublicized benefit is its long term effect on increasing your metabolic rate (the number of calories burnt per day). This corresponds to the amount of muscle tone you have. Through effective resistance training we can also improve our functionality allowing us to stay active whatever age we are.
Flexibility training.
This refers to the different types of stretching and is a key element in both preventing and rehabilitation after injury. It also plays an important role in creating good health by removing toxins from the body. When you are flexible you are much more likely to want to be active. Staying injury free not only makes you more functional, but also allows you to be more productive when exercising. Flexibility comprises static stretching, the traditional holding movements as seen in yoga, when cooling down etc and active flexibility, which is controlled movements to loosen up the body and increase muscle length.
This is the strengthening of the muscles that support the spine. A type of resistance training, it is classified on it’s own due to its importance to your overall health. A strong core is the basis of strength within the body. It allows optimal movement patterns to be used which prevents injury and promotes well-being. It is essential to ensure that the core muscles are both working correctly and then ensuring they are strong.
To optimize your health you need to be doing all of these exercise types every week. It does not require vast amounts of time, nor much in the way of equipment. Ask yourself how your exercise routine is set out at the moment. If you are just beginning on a routine, maybe start with one training type at a time and introduce the others as soon as possible.

Metabolic typing Theory
Metabolic typing
Metabolic typing is the science of personalized nutrition. It is a accurate system for determining which foods your body needs.
Discovering your metabolic type is the single biggest health measure you can take and the most effective way to lose weight. Metabolic typing answers the foundational questions of nutrition by telling you:
• What to eat
• How much to eat
• What foods to specifically avoid
• All other aspects of nutrition including supplements, food quality etc
To make these recommendations the science of metabolic typing has been rapidly developing from the pioneering work of many researchers throughout the last fifty years.
Metabolic typing recognizes that there are ten fundamental control systems within the human body. Each of these systems determines the way the chemical reactions occur within your body.
To achieve and maintain true health the control systems must be brought into balance. Failure to do this leads to faulty metabolism within the cells which is the cause of health complaints. Being overweight is a sign of faulty metabolism.
Answering the big questions in nutrition, metabolic typing determines:
What to eat?
It is the influence of the main two control systems that determines which foods your body needs. All my clients undergo a metabolic typing test which reveals where their body lies upon these two systems. This directs us to the metabolic typing diet plan that will give you the exact foods and nutrients you require to lose weight, improve energy and health.
How much to eat?
We all have a unique and specific ideal fuel mix. This is the amount of food that allows the body to effectively utilize and produce energy.
When you eat the right foods in the right ratios of protein, carbohydrate and fat you will experience a sense of high energy and mental focus while avoiding food cravings, energy drops or frequent hunger.
To discover the right amounts of food I coach my clients to tune into their bodies and find the answer out for themselves. Metabolic typing uses the ideal fuel mix and body language signals as a key criteria for success along with eating the right foods for your body. (As defined by your metabolic type).
What foods should I specifically avoid?
It is essential you ensure any food sensitivities or intolerances are addressed within your diet. Eating foods that your body has trouble processing can make weight loss impossible and cause a number of unwanted health symptoms. Food intolerance's are very common and undermine all efforts to be healthy.
The metabolic typing test also looks at the pattern of where you store fat on your body. The way you store fat has implications on weight loss and food cravings.
I am sure you have noticed how some people store fat all over their body, on their hands, face etc while others gain fat just on their stomach. There are other characteristic patterns to these and they represent the behaviour of your endocrine glands within your body. e.g. thyroid, adrenal etc.
The endocrine glands are stimulated by certain foods. When these foods are eaten in excess over a prolonged period they can exhaust your dominant gland. This can lead to low thyroid or adrenal fatigue and be the cause of unwanted fat storage and poor health.
Finally, metabolic typing allows you to use the influences of your blood type to avoid certain foods. There are certain foods that can interact with specific blood types to cause unwanted health complaints.
Please note that metabolic typing is far in advance of the well known eat right for your blood type book and is fundamentally different. For more information on this read my article on a comparison of metabolic typing and all the major diets
Other nutritional issues
The metabolic typing research has also covered the effects of the other issues surrounding nutrition and lifestyle. This includes food quality, supplements, cooking techniques and other factors such environmental influences. e.g. sleep , sun, toxins etc. This allows you to further safeguard your health and optimize your body fat levels.
Summary.
Metabolic typing is the most advanced nutrition system in the world as it is the only one that effectively and accurately classifies the differences between people.
It provides an answer to what, how much and what not to eat. It is the most important and biggest health measure you can take and the fastest and most effective ways to lose weight.
