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.

Before we get under way with today's chat, a little news.... A two-day RYL in Perth!
Hi Team. A little while ago I was approached by the very lovely Susie James and her team from Funny Farm Fitness in W.A. to run a two-day (live-in) RYL Programfor her and her clients from July 31 - August 2. Susie has kindly agreed to open the program up to anyone from the West (or East for that matter) who might like to come along for two days of life-changing motivation, inspiration and education. The program will be identical to the one we're running here in Victoria next month. Although I will be two months older. And wiser.
Okay, older.
If you would like to book a place or talk to Susie, she can be contacted during business hours on 0438 910 664 or you can email her at funnyfarmfitness@bigpond.com. The venue for the program is Club Capricorn, Two Rocks Road, Yanchep. I hope to see some of you there. Vertically Challenged
Most of my long-time readers will know that as a teenager I was a somewhat... er.. voluptuous. Full-figured. Thick-set. Stocky. Big-boned. Solid. Sure the experts might have classified me as obese, but I preferred to see myself as... short for my weight. Vertically challenged for my mass. It was totally about my height and not my weight.
See, it's a perspective thing.
Or a denial thing.
Okay, I was a whopper.
Buttons Being Pushed
Anyway, a few of the ex-fat kid's buttons have been pushed lately because there has been talk here in the Land Down Under about weighing kids at school in a kind of annual physiological assessment; essentially a height measurement, some weighing and a B.M.I. calculation. I can hear the screams of protest starting before I even finish this sentence. But what if it's done in a completely clinical manner and only the parent, the clinician and the child know the outcome of the test? Does the idea still suck then? Does the idea suck at all? Maybe you like it? Perhaps the only way to address childhood obesity is in a practical manner such as this? After all, it gives us a measurable, objective and scientific assessment of where the child is at and how they are tracking over time.
More Education?
Surely, if the answer to the obesity problem was to pump the kids and parents full of more information, then our kids would be shrinking by the day because we've got obesity-related information and education coming out of our ears... yet they ain't gettin' no smaller. Er, any smaller.
What do You Think?
Today's instalment is more of a discussion than it is a lesson, so I look forward to seeing what the group consensus will be on this topic. I think the idea has some merit but I'm not totally sold. I would need to know a little more about how the overall concept would be implemented and developed over the long term before I could give it my tick of approval. And we all know how much the government values my opinion. As an ex-fatty, I think I would have appreciated a little short-term pain for some long-term gain. But then again, maybe the chocolate cake-eating, fat fourteen year-old 'me' would think that his older counterpart is a big tool.
Your thoughts?
About the weighing that is. Not whether or not I'm a tool.
