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.

Have you ever noticed how good we are at doing what doesn't work? Forever! With our diet? Our exercise habits? Our relationships? Our finances? Our health? Our destructive behaviours? Yessirree, for such highly evolved creatures, sometimes we're mighty stupid. Some of us have been doing what doesn't work for years and 'almost changing' for even longer; all show and no go. And you thought that Groundhog Day was just a funny movie. Sadly, it's reality for many people.
The Behavioural Merry-Go-Round
The other day we spoke about the propensity some of us have to engage in the same pointless, painful and destructive arguments with the same people about the same issues... for years. And amazingly, we still think it's all them. I'm not sure if that's arrogance, stupidity, denial, delusion or a combination of the lot. Well, this kind of behaviour is not confined to arguments and personal relationships; we see it in virtually every area of the human experience. It's seems that some of us would rather justify, blame, explain, ignore and pretend... than change. Some of us have been going around in circles for years and now... it's time to step off the behavioural merry-go-round and embrace some reality. And change.
Keeping in mind the axiom that "if we want to create different, we need to do different", let's take a quick peek at why some of us might be trapped in our own personal Groundhog Day.
1. Procrastination - Some of us are professional "waiters". Unfortunately, for many of us, the right time never seems to arrive. Some people are always about to change but never actually doing it. And of course, it's not really a time thing; it's an attitude thing. An overcoming fear thing. A getting off our arse thing.
2. Blame - If it's someone else's fault then (1) that's very convenient (2) it's beyond our control and (3) we don't have to change. Perfect. Phew.
3. Lying - Everyone Lies. Everyone. It's the people who lie to themselves and then start to believe their own crap that have the problem. Self-awareness, humility and honesty; always valuable tools in the personal transformation process.
4. Laziness - Living in a culture that embraces the quick-fix, instant gratification and the avoid-discomfort-at-all-costs-mindset... helps nobody. Laziness equals misery, frustration and under-achieving.
5. Being Reactive - When do many people make significant decisions about their health? When they're in the back of the ambulance with tubes protruding from every orifice, that's when. When do some people decide to work on their relationship? When their partner is walking out the front door. What about getting those finances in order? When you're wondering how much the pawn broker will give you for your twenty five year-old bike and you've been living on two-minute noodles for three months!
6. Indifference - Plenty of people subscribe to the "hopefully things will work themselves out" plan for life. What a load of crap; things don't "work themselves out" - we do. Or not. While the wishful thinkers are sitting around with their fingers crossed, the smart people are consciously and methodically creating their best life and exploring their potential.
"Success or failure is not pre-determined; it's me determined"
Is it time for you to stop making the same mistakes?
Don't get offended. Don't get precious. Don't get defensive. Don't get angry.
Get realistic, practical, busy and productive.
