25.01.2022 The main ingredient? Water. This is what you are paying for and getting in your diet.... This is ultra-processed junk (and I’m being kind ) This junk is also more labour-intensive than meat. Meat has one ingredient, it is highly nutritious and impacts less on the environment. Meat intake has been falling for 50 years. Bowel cancer, obesity, heart disease, and diabetes is skyrocketing (in younger people). The reason you cant get better? It’s what your diet contains for 70% of your day, everyday. Rice, cereal, snacks, sushi, potato, bread, fruit, wraps, buns, starchy veggies, dried fruit and biscuits. Meat, eggs, seafood and dairy is the reason you are still standing. Don’t be a vegan sheep. Be smarter and please see the trees and don’t be blinded by the forest.

24.01.2022 I love this. Doubts and love dig up the world. The place where we are right is hard and trampled.

23.01.2022 My first ever painting class. A great way to turn off the outside world and focus. Also on my list?... Singing lessons and more guitar lessons. Want to get happy? Want to stop eating and drinking to excess? Find things that make you happy. Start making a list.

22.01.2022 Stop thinking about negatives. Grab a friend, a neighbour, a family member and do something positive. There is no fairy godmother who is going to do it for you.... The fairy godmother is you!

22.01.2022 Very frustrating when personal trainers pushing calories, silly tests and over-priced supplements are called out.... Then they block me and carry on taking mone...y out of your pocket. As soon as PT’s start talking calories, pre/post workout shakes and that you ‘need carbs’? Smile and keep walking

18.01.2022 What no dietitian nor gastroenterologist , endocrinologist nor GP ever wants to admit. Weetbix and table sugar? Become glucose in your body at the same time.... In the long-run, they will worsen your bowel symptoms, fatty liver, blood pressure and diabetes. Yep, they will also make you fatter. Weetbix and bread will worsen your cholesterol. They will worsen your heart disease, dementia-risk, bloating, relic, gout, aches and pains. Ah yep. Bread is the same. Even whole meal. And you thought you quit sugar? Painful but true. Now you know the truth? Stop eating sugar.

18.01.2022 I was on a roll trying to paint the whole fruit bowl Downtime today doing a painting course (very relaxing)

16.01.2022 Both sides need to skewered! The ‘dietary dinosaurs’ (the old ‘experts’ that need to be put out to to pasture) And the ‘wellness warriors’ who want to fill thei...r own pockets. A great, exhausting week with brilliant patients. The worst I saw? Patients being loading up with overpriced fermented potions, supplements and tests, when they need to understand more about their diet and how they got so ‘lost’. Also some patients being charged triple the going rate for things like iron-infusions and overpriced USA supplements and gut tests. This makes my blood boil. Then the ‘dinosaurs’. Loading patients up on fruit and fibre and their gut/weight/cholesterol worsens and they are told they aren’t working hard enough. They are also told that eating fat has caused their fatty liver. Madness. Then they are put on the FodMaps diet (the most complex mess I’ve ever seen). Please. No more supplements. No more gut tests. No more fermented potions. Stop. Understand what you need to remove/modify in your diet for the long-term. Sit down with me and I’ll help you draw a line in the sand and change once and for all. Have a great weekend

13.01.2022 Too early? Too early to talk about poo? One of my patients yesterday who had ‘gone vegan’ said that his poos ‘smelt heaps better’.... He hadn’t come to see me to tell me this. He was putting on weight, had IBS-like gut symptoms, his cholesterol has gone up and he was ‘always hungry’. But.... He felt like sh*t, but his poo smelt better. We are a funny lot aren’t we. When I put you on a lower carbohydrate, higher animal protein diet, it may take months for your bowel habits to settle. Yes, this includes smell. I’m sure it’s a vegan-selling point, ‘you’ll feel like crap but your crap will smell better’. Me? I totally turned my health around, cured my IBS, migraines, cravings, and lost 15kg by kicking carbohydrates. I eat red meat every day, along with eggs, fish, dairy etc. I feel like a kid again (I’m 52yo). Does my sh*t stink? Seriously? We are a funny lot.....

13.01.2022 Definitely not sexy. More like your CFO rather than the CEO in your body (yep our fickle brain is the big cheese). Your liver controls cholesterol production, m...etabolism and excretion. Your liver decides if you get dementia, heart disease or cancer. So look after it. And your doctor tells you that your cholesterol is too high? And you are drinking alcohol, eating cereal, bread, snacks? All these things clog your liver. We call if fatty liver but it’s really carby liver. But there is a pill to fix it? Nope, the pill just masks the problem. It’s a bit like creative accounting. I know. To give up grog and carbs? Firstly, you have to ‘dig out’ that deep fat that has been accumulating for decades. Second? Find things that will replace those habits that are making you sick. Take the pill if you want to paper over the cracks. Of course it’s easier. I’d rather dig a bit deeper. Your life depends on it.

12.01.2022 Stop doing more and start doing less.....please...

11.01.2022 The problem with nutrition? Everyone is an expert. Nutrition for many has become a ‘part-time hustle’.... Basically they will write you a quick program and load you up on powders and supplements. I’ve been doing this for almost 20 years. The hustle will fill pockets but you won’t lose weight or get better in the long-run. This industry is so broken and lucrative. Both the diet dinosaurs and wellness warriors are wrong. Getting you better is a process involving blood tests, stressors, diet, priorities, stages, and logic. Would you trust your money to a part-time hustling accountant? Why do we do this for our precious health? We can chat and get the basics right without the hustle?

08.01.2022 Meat? It’s the healthiest thing you are eating. Along with eggs, fish, nuts/seeds and dairy.... You haven’t been eating much have you? But your weight is still going up? You still feel like crap? Your cholesterol is still ‘too high’? Stop being a sheep. Stop listening to these vegan entrepreneurs. They want your money. They don’t care about your health nor the environment. Red meat intake has been falling for the last 50 years. And the planet? Your waistline? Oh... It’s not the meat. Please. It’s all the other stuff you are doing that is making you sick and fat. Alcohol, cereal, bread, sushi, chips, potato, rice, pasta and snacks. Eat meat, fish etc with non-starch veggies and no carbs. Get smart. Get knowledgeable or get and stay sick.

06.01.2022 What has helped me overcome my food addictions? After 45 years of carbohydrate addiction? For me it’s been re-learning the guitar, getting back on the bike, rea...ding, writing, yoga, volunteering and lifting weights. Find something, anything, that gives you a kick of dopamine, serotonin and endorphins (that doesn’t involve chewing or alcohol ) Oh. And surrounding myself with positive people who give me energy and make me laugh. And I mean really laugh. And just saying to those negative people that were can catch up later....’. Find a ‘replacement’ for poor food choices or alcohol. If you are deeply unhappy, dislocated, lonely, angry, anxious? Your chances of ‘getting better’ and losing weight? Slim. And look at the forrest and not the trees. Get harmony back in your life before thinking about food, diet change, fasting, supplements, cooking, etc. Just start thinking. Make a list right now of what makes you happy. Just start with a walk. A ride. A coffee with an old friend, a yoga session, a painting, language or singing lesson.
