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.

When I walk into a room to do a presentation I regularly ask a few questions before we get under way:
"Who wants to live an amazing life?" (every hand goes up) "Who wants to have an amazing career?" (every hand goes up again) "Who wants incredible relationships?" (every hand) "Who wants more." (every hand)
To the uninitiated, it would appear that everyone in the room is pretty sure about what they want...
They want amazing. They want incredible. They want more.
Cool; they know what they want... that's a good start.
Or do they?
Then the tricky questions come:
"What does your amazing life look like, what will make it amazing and how will you create it?" (errr... aah... mm... silence and much glancing around the room)
"And by the way, what exactly is... more?" (no hands up, more silence)
The truth for many of us is that we know what we don't want (our current life and reality) but we haven't really clearly defined exactly what we do want.
So many of us lack clarity and certainty about (what we want for) our future:
Where we want to be. What we want to do. What we want our life to look like in 1, 2, 5 or 10 years from now. We kinda think that somehow it's all just gonna fall into place.
It ain't. We don't 'accidentally' end up with an amazing life.
We know we want to be somewhere better. It's just that we're not that sure where better is... or what it looks like.
"So you hate your life... what would you like to be doing?" "Er.. not sure."
"You say you want more.. what does that mean SPECIFICALLY?" "Aah.. dunno"
Before you can create amazing, you need to define it. For you. Personally.
Not anyone else's version of an amazing life... yours.
If you can't conceive it, you can't achieve.
So many of us are sitting at that great big T-intersection of life.... looking right, looking left... one foot on the brake, one on the accelerator, checking the mirror... not exactly sure what the heck we're doin'.
A picture of indecision.
We might have all the good intentions, all the motivation and all the potential in the world... but if we don't have certainty and clarity about what we want to do with our life and how we're going to do it... then it's gonna be a little tough to create amazing.
Living in the land of uncertainty only creates mediocrity, boredom and frustration.
We need to get SPECIFIC, SERIOUS and CLEAR about what we want for our future. But How? Sometimes (now perhaps) we need to (metaphorically) step out of our life, our situation, our reality, our relationships and our busy-ness.... get some distance, get some perspective, take some time and stop 'doing' until we can answer those tough questions.
Think. Be still (a wacky concept in 2007). Go away for a week (a day at least). Alone. No phone, no noise, no distractions. Don't ask others what you should do... ask YOU!
Think about your life, your health, your relationships, your career, your past, your future.. and don't expect to get some life-changing, mind altering revelation in five minutes. Spend some quiet time with yourself and listen to that still, small voice. It's there... you just need to listen. Patiently. Remember... the relationship between effort and outcome is directly proportional. So make the effort. Take the time.
Sometimes we spend more time and energy planning for a big night out... than we do planning for the rest of our life.
Being busy going around in circles... is dumb. Being busy for a purpose is clever and rewarding.
Stop stumbling along and get some clarity. Once you get clarity... you'll create momentum. And once you create momentum.. you'll create results.
You'll create more. You'll create incredible. You'll create amazing.
