Many
nutritional experts confuse people with their jargon
and pseudo-science. Let Craig's Director of
Nutrition cut through the dietary confusion and
contradiction for you.
Fattitude
- Craig Harper
While many books focus on food,
Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the
dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a
history of 'almost' getting in shape.
DVD
or CD - Renovate Your Body In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the
notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious
ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions
and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

So a friend of mine has decided he wants to re-invent himself physically.
'Cactus' Chris Couch is a (very) minor celebrity here in Melbourne, does a little radio and is the media manager for Melbourne's only National Rugby League (NRL) team; Melbourne Storm. His boys are sitting five and zip on top of the ladder as I write, so Cactus is a happy (albeit out-of-shape) little camper.
He came to see me the other day. The conversation went something like this:
"Hey Harps, I gotta do sumthin." "My gut is cascading over my shorts and I've become socially invisible." "I'm thirty three and I'm struggling."
"Help"... came the pathetic little wimper from the shell of what was once, a professional soccer player.
Tragic.
"Sure, I can help" came the thoughtful and sensitive reply.
"How much money have you got."
Nah... even I wouldn't be that mean. He was already in enough pain.
True, he's not an attractive man (as demonstrated by the accompanying photos) and clearly has limited genetic potential (kinda like a chubby Smurf with no biceps) but being as I'm such a giver and humanitarian (and such a great buddy and sensitive friend), I decided that we'd try (against all odds and genetic limitations) and see if we could possibly make something of the dumpy, chubby, shapeless little weirdo.
Love you Cactus. It's for your own good man.
Freak.
I thought we might see if we could find him some shoulders and pecs. A waist perhaps. Possibly even a vain.
We may even send out the National Guard to see if they can locate his (long-gone) six-pack... located just above his rarely used... thighs.
Shame on you.
So I thought we might all get behind the chubby little weirdo and see if we can help him morph into a new and improved version of himself over the next twelve weeks. Even though he has arms like a nine year-old girl, the mid section of a professional chess player and the will-power of a four year-old in a lolly (sweet) shop, I reckon if I can get him angry enough... he might just do it (get in shape) and he might just belt the crap out of me in about 83 days!
I'd love that. C'mon ya big blouse. Let's see watcha got.
Everyone needs a cheer squad and Cactus, we'll be yours. Well, everyone else will... I'll just make fun of you.
Sludge guts. Porky.
We may even find him a girl.
Nah... probably not. (I'm not a magician).
So yesterday (April 17) was day one of Project Cactus. We took some measurements and photos, we created a plan and the 'project' did his first workout. To my surprise the big sook did pretty well. Bugger.
We're going to do a weekly update on the big girly-man's progress here on the site, complete with measurements and photos (probably every Wednesday). So stay tuned and cheer him on.
Of course, there's every chance he won't make it past this Friday. Love you Mate.
So over the next twelve weeks, I'm (we're) gonna turn my shapeless buddy into a chick-pulling, alpha-male-warrior.... machine. Complete with big guns (arms), massive delts (shoulders), freaky wheels (legs), a wicked taper (small waist) and less than ten percent body-fat.
Or not.
Stay tuned.
Leave your comments below and cheer Cactus on. (He needs the love).
