Not a Diet Book: Take Control. Gain Confidence. Change Your Life.
Escape diet confusion, build real habits, and use science to change your body without losing your life
About This Book
Tired of fads, fear, and food rules that don’t survive a busy week? This guide clears the noise and shows you how real change happens. You’ll learn why every successful fat‑loss plan runs on one engine, how small daily movements outwork rare gym heroics, and why sleep quietly controls hunger, hormones, and willpower. You’ll spot industry myths, avoid supplement traps, and turn protein, steps, and training into simple daily habits. Expect plain talk, science you can use, and stories that feel like your life: late meetings, cold coffee, school runs, and weekend plans. Trade guilt for clarity and build a way of living you can actually keep.About the Author
James Smith is a straight‑talking coach known for turning complex nutrition and training science into clear, no‑nonsense guidance. After thousands of hours coaching on gym floors in the UK and Australia, he built a global community focused on evidence over hype. He popularized ideas like NEATUP247 and “protein first,” and is recognized for calling out industry myths while offering practical tools people can stick to. When he’s not coaching, you’ll find him lifting, rolling on the jiu‑jitsu mats, or sending blunt emails that somehow make hard change feel simple.
