Improve your physique and happiness As it’s prime dieting season for most of us, I thought now is a good time to write a post on some of the best foods to consume when dieting. Of course, this is subjective, and is based on my personal experiences. And when I say “satiating”, I mean on calorie for calorie basis. We […]
This is a big, big problem for our society, and it’s growing. Obesity rates in the UK have increased by 12% since 1993, and 62% of men are now overweight.

But, I was reading an article in a Men’s Health magazine recently which triggered this question. Yes, before you ask, it was purely for entertainment purposes, as […]
I think this lack of awareness is THE biggest obstacle in terms of people achieving their fitness goals. It’s just like any other goal; there is always a struggle involved. People in our society don’t seem to be capable of taking responsibility for their actions any more, and in case you haven’t noticed, the “I’m a […]
I was nineteen years old. I had successfully cut for the summer before – I knew what I was doing, right? Wrong. Be Objective, Don’t Fool Yourself First year of university had been unkind to me.
