Guess what?

Weight loss is really fucking simple.

So why are we making it so complicated?

In early 2021, my wife and I were out for a walk, and she took this photo of me and our kids.

That’s me at roughly 225 pounds, by far the heaviest I’ve ever been. At a shade over 5'11, I was firmly in the “overweight” category, at least as far as the World Health Organization is concerned.

As someone who’s always considered himself to be in relatively good shape, I was shocked by what I saw. So I did what most people would do — I went straight to Google and typed in every combination of “How to lose weight” I could think of.

Sure, I mean I guess £180 for 10 days worth of juice is reasonable.

What quickly became apparent is the sheer amount of conflicting information that is out there.

  • Should you cut out carbs?
  • No, carbs are good, you…
