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.

Hi Team. I'll be on Channel Ten (in Australia) today chatting about why the vast majority of people who lose weight regain it. Here's the pre'cis version of my segment (on air at 10:25am -ish). Do any of these resonate for you?
1. We stop doing what works. Could it be any simpler? For a range of reasons, most people simply stop doing what ever it was that got them in shape in the first place. It ain't rocket science but many people - including experts - continue to complicate the simple. "Aaah but you don't understand my situation". Talk to the hand. We can all find a bunch of "reasons" to explain our less-than-desirable physical state - or we can simply do what works. And keep doing it. Keep in mind that some people (companies) have a vested interest in the weight-loss process being complex - otherwise you might not buy their ridiculous, expensive, ineffective and completely unnecessary products. After all, if weight loss was about something as obvious and simple as choices, diet, exercise and lifestyle... then how could they sell all their "scientifically proven" solutions to your problems. Oops.
* Yes, I know "Mr Six Pack" (see above) has featured a few times here at me-dot-com but I know at least a few girls who won't be devastated with a little repetition.
2. We get in shape for events, not life. Too many people spend their lives alternating between fit and fat because they only lose weight for certain occasions and events. They "peak" for the public outing (wedding, birthday, reunion, anniversary) and then they get fat again. Harsh? Nope, honest.
3. We make certain behaviours "optional". Some things shouldn't be optional - and for too many of us, they are. For example; intelligent eating, structured and regular exercise and healthy lifestyle. If it's your goal to have a fit, lean and functional body, then some things need to be non-negotiable habits - diet, exercise and lifestyle to name a few. When those things are absolute non-negotiables in our world then the results will flow.
4. We inhabit a deprivation mindset. In order to get certain things we need to give up others; high calorie, high fat, high sugar foods for example. Do you want to create life-long change once and for all - or do you want to continue eating crap and living in a body you hate?
"Nothing tastes as good as being in shape feels"
Some people spend far too much time focusing on what they're giving up (chocolate, alcohol, cake) and far too little time being grateful for what they're gaining; health, years, quality of life.
5. We don't have a plan beyond the plan. Some people get there and then they say... "now what?" They had a weight-loss plan but not a weight-maintenance plan. I know many people who have celebrated reaching their weight-loss goal by indulging in a great big meal with friends. And with the words "I've worked so hard, I deserve this" still ringing in everyone's ears, the slide begins. Is it just me.. or is celebrating a physical transformation with a huge, unnecessary meal a completely stupid idea?
I'm sure some of you will have a thought, lesson or story to share from your own weight-loss/gain experiences. We'd love to hear from you as what you've learned might help someone else.You can do that by clicking on the link below. If you're not sure how to leave a comment, clickhere. Ciao x
