As we're approaching the end of the year, it's always good to reflect on what you have achieved. Are you any closer to the physique you want? Do you have the freedom to spend more time with your family? Do you have the energy to do the active things with your family? When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you like what you see? Or are you still sucking that stomach in? When you set your goals for 2017, will they be any different to the ones you set for 2016 or have to seen the progression you

It's amazing how life can take up more than you think it does and the things you've always thought were reality, in actual fact, aren't. Below is a statement about how life is for the daughter of a busy man, one just like you. "Just one of the many adventures we’ve had together was when I was about eight or nine, [when] my daddy took me to a monster truck show. It was awesome! We got lots of cotton candy and toy souvenirs …. It has been about five years and I’ve noticed my dad and I doing less and

There's some bizarre experiments carried out in the name of research. Being a bit of a nutritional geek, I often receive updates from published articled and recently one caught my eye. Not because of the ground breaking information it delivered ( pretty much ministry of the fcuking obvious if you ask me!) But because of the side story that accompanied it. A researcher removed part of a rats brain (a section of the hypothalamus) that controlled the desire to consume food and fluids. As expected, the rats didn't bother eating or drinking and died of starvation and dehydration. ( No

Our body is a walking pharmaceutical laboratory. All manner of hormones are being produced, broken down and recycled, on pretty much a second-by-second basis! If you're a geek like me and you've ever studied human biochemistry, you'll be familiar with many different hormones and their interactions within the body. There's the typical ones everyone has heard of, such as insulin, testosterone, estrogen and adrenaline. You may of even heard of HCG, progesterone epinephrine too. But I want to focus on cortisol, and how it may be stopping you from getting the body you want. You see, there's 2 reasons why

Every year it seems that Xmas starts earlier and earlier. I was in a well known supermarket a couple of weeks ago and they had already started stocking Xmas-themed foods and products. The beginning of October! As far as im concerned Xmas doesn't start until that glitter covered train appears on the TV and I hear "Holidays Are Coming..." You know I'm right! Now, I know you guys are busy, lots of hours spent in the office doing something 'important'. Well, I assume it must be as you choose to do that over going home to spend time with your

So apparently it's around that time of the year when many wealthy families from the warmer climates of the middle east flock to London, bringing with them some of the most expensive and highly sought after cars in the world. The areas around Knightsbridge are flooded with Bugattis, Ferraris, Lambourginis and the like. Cars that would cost more than some people earn in a lifetime. When you come from a wealthy oil-rich country, dropping a few £1000k on a car is probably not as big a deal as it would be to some people. After all, wealth and expenditure is

Imagine doing something you enjoy, every day. And one of the 'side effects' was a 6-pack! And i don't mean one of these fitness junkies that love to hammer out 1000 crunches every morning like some modern day Patrick Bateman!! No, I mean something you actually enjoyed, something fun! Something you wouldn't get bored of at the drop of a hat! Well that's exactly what a friend of mine did. Now before you start cancelling gym memberships and throwing away your training gear, let's get something clear, he was still doing something active. He still got in his 'daily sweat'. But here's the lesson comrade, straight

A couple of years ago, I had this neighbour living next door. A major pain in the arse! She thought it was perfectly acceptable to play music at full blast, with all the windows open, keeping everyone in the apartment block up. Through the week it wasn't too bad. She had to work & get up early each morning & thankfully avoided partying on a school night. but come weekend.... the 'fun' would start. 'chav-tastic' music at ear bleeding volume (no wonder she couldn't hear the banging on the walls!) On one occasion, she had at least 40-50 people in the apartment and in the car park to the rear, leaning on other peoples cars, drinking, smoking
