He says if you miss one work out of if you have a "calorie dense meal (aka cheat meal - he doesn't like to use this phrase) then it's O.K. it's not going to be the end of the world, so you shouldn't hate yourself for doing it. Everything in moderation and if you do it once in a while then it's fine.

Some parts were too simplistic. And you can’t crush everyone else’s anecdotes and then promote your own...unless it’s you writing your own book...which this situation falls under. Grain of salt and everyone can enjoy it. James Smith' no-nonsense approach to food and fitness is completely refreshing. Boiling it down to one principal - that of creating a calorie deficit, is the stand out message of this book. Nothing else really matters - as Smith himself points out, the method isn't really important. But trajectory and where you're headed is. Whether recommending apps, examining exercise that's right for you, or discussing diets and why they tend not to work - Smith maintains a neutral and knowledgeable source of excellent insight. The general principles laid down in the book will undoubtedly help anyone who reads it and follows the advice to feel happy and healthier. As much as mainstream media wants you to believe, Aspartame doesn’t affect your appetite, glucose or insulin levels. Aspartame is a form of artificial sweetener, technically labelled as food additive E951, which is one of the feared E numbers. This E-number talk crops up with many clean-eating gurus as though they’re something terrible. But there’re over a thousand other E numbers and hundreds of them are artificial. The E is a symbol of safety and it means EU have class fifed it safe for human consumption. If you’re not convinced already, here’s what you need to know. Aspartame breaks down into 3 substances – 10% methanol (sounds scary but a glass of tomato juice contains six times as much), 40% aspartic acid (sounds frightening but one egg contains thirty-four times as much), 50% phenylalanine (unpronounceable and scary yet 100g of beef contains sixteen to thirty-two times as much). artificial sweeteners are not demons as they are made to believe I was lost. I was ten years old and couldn’t get an answer from any adults on how to not be fat. It’s why I have a chip on my shoulder now.So, be prepared to transform your attitudes, fix bad habits, lose fat, gain confidence, and become the best possible version of yourself with the last ‘diet’ book you’ll ever need. What is the point in taking the elevator at work to then pull yourself out of bed at 5am to walk on a treadmill for an hour? That isn’t a good deal. Instead stay in bed and focus on becoming more active during your day to day life.

He says: “No matter what diet you are being sold, or the fitness regime you are paying hundreds of pounds to follow, it all boils down to the same thing — making you eat fewer calories than you use. I honestly don’t care if you want to do the 5:2 method, cut out carbs or go to the gym for three hours a day. It’s the same with calories, why cut your calories by an unsustainable 50 per cent, when you could cut them by 15 per cent and gradually lose weight without starving yourself and grabbing too many high calorie foods here and there. Nothing. It goes away almost completely until your next feeding window. So next time, you’re hungry instead of indulging, test this theory. Hunger doesn’t last forever. Keep your mind occupied and you’ll forget it before you know it. And that is how our friend ghrelin came and went away. James’s no-nonsense approach to diet and fitness is a refreshing change in an industry full of misinformation and diet fads.But if you think James is just a personal trainer pushing one message about calories again and again, with a few swearwords thrown in, you would be wrong.

Carbs are stored for use in muscle tissue (as glycogen) and for every 1g of carb that enters a cell, 3-5g of water usually accompany it. So, if you eat 100g of carbs (400kcals), you could gain 0.3-0.5kg of water just stored alongside. So when you eliminate carbs in your diet, you will notice sudden drop in your body weight. But here’s the catch. This sudden weight loss mostly comes from water weight loss, not the actual fat loss. But what I didn’t realise, was that the simple reason I wasn’t dropping the pounds was probably because of the ‘Two for Tuesday’s’ Dominos Pizza I was nailing every week and the fact that I was living off sausage rolls from Tesco, basically I was consuming too many calories. Describing himself as ‘that keen guy in the office who had protein powder and useless supplements in his drawer and made sure everyone knew I was off to train legs’, colleagues would often ask James for fitness tips and accompany him to the gym during lunch breaks.Then you need to perceive someones activity level (how active someone is on a daily basis), to understand how many calories somebody would burn on top of that 70 per cent. This is determined when looking at someones Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT) and Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) aka gym training and non-gym training.
