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.

Every year I get hundreds (and hundreds) of emails asking me essentially the same four questions:
1. How can I lose weight and fat effectively - forever? 2.How can I sort through the mountain of (often conflicting) information?
3.How can I discover what will work best for me? 4.Why do I keep making the same mistakes?
Of course I have written several books and too many articles on this stuff but I thought I'd do my best to give you the Craig Harper mini-lecture and maybe the emails will abate for a while. Keeping in mind that I've been teaching this stuff for three hundred years (yep, immortal) and my disdain for the 'experts' who complicate the simple, I will endeavor to give you the no-brainer, abbreviated guide to transforming your body.
Fact 1. There's stuff you can't change.
Fact 2. There's stuff you can change.
So change what you can and forget the rest. Invest your physical and emotional energy where you will get the best return. See, that was simple.
What you can't change:
1. Your chronological age (makes sense)
2. Your sex (well, not quickly) 3. Your genetics (sorry, not my rules) 4. Your history (unless you have a silver DeLorean and your surname is McFly)
Sadly, many people invest (waste) a ridiculous amount of time and energy in the things they can't change, while doing very little about the stuff that can make all the difference.
What you can change:
1. Your biological age (how 'old' your body is) 2. How you 'use' your genetics (genetic management) 3. Your typical behaviours (day to day habits) 4. Your diet (what you put in your gob most days) 5. Your lifestyle (sleep, stress, alcohol, cigs, drugs, relaxation, work/life balance) 6. Your exercise program (or lack thereof) 7. Your attitude (the state of your physiology is a by-product of your psychology)
For the vast majority of us, the quality of results we produce will come down to the last four on the list; diet, lifestyle, exercise and psychology. My experience has taught me that the biggest challenges for the majority of us are (1) diet and (2) the head stuff. So step back, get some perspective and take an un-emotional, honest, no-bullshit look at your diet, your exercise habits, your mindset and your lifestyle, and identify what and how you need to change. And no, you probably won't need a doctor, dietician, psychologist or trainer for this process because it's nothing more than common sense. You know what you need to change, so change it. You've read enough. You're smart enough. You've been on and off the fitness merry-go-round for long enough. Anyway, it's never really been a knowledge issue has it?
In Summary...
1. If your goal is weight/fat loss then use more energy (calories) than you put in your gob. On some level, it's all about the math. And way simpler than many would have you believe. 2. If you're not ready to change then articles like this are a waste of your time. 3. Make exercise a daily non-negotiable, not a "when-I-can-fit-it-in" behaviour. 4. It's hard because you make it hard. 5. Keep an exercise and food diary. Even for a while. 6. It's all about what you do when people aren't watching. You know what I mean. 7. Stop procrastinating and talking about what you're going to do when the time is right. We don't believe you any more. 8. Exercise early in the day when possible. It's good for your body and even better for your head. 9. Don't try to undo years (or decades) of abuse by next Friday. The more drastic and numerous the changes, the less likely you are to maintain any of them. Slow and steady, Grasshoppers. 10. Finish what you start. Many people spend their life not finishing stuff. If that's you, change. Now. Today. Don't be precious, be practical.
