This week I'm talking about how easy it is to change your health and fitness with just one small 2 min adjustment to how you think about exercise.

Well, it's another New Years Eve on the horizon and opportunity to make a New Years Resolution that you can stick to using the power of marginal gains.

We think that getting regular exercise that makes a difference to our health has to be big blocks of time spent at the gym several days a week.

I remember when I decided that that really didn't work for me - at all!

So I made my own rules up about how and what exercise I would focus on.

Lucky for me, I do love exercise, but I get bored easy and I really didn't like having to go to the gym. I needed something that would fit into my hectic life and make me happy.

So I came up with my two-minute rule. I know, two minutes is nothing right? And people often say to me, "Well, two minutes isn't going to make you skinny is it?!"

But I disagree.

When I decided on my 2 minute rule, I was still worki...

I might have watched too much Gavin & Stacey recently, but I have to say, time off is lush isn't it? 🥰

This week I’m talking about the concepts and misguided ideas that we have about what constitutes good health. 

I’m a great observer of people, and I’m lucky to live in the city where there is so many to observe.  

I see beautiful slender people, totally buff people, well dressed successful looking people, and I often catch myself thinking; “Don’t they look the picture of success, health and happiness”.  

And I think that because really that’s what we’ve been lead to think success, health and happiness looks like; slender and fashionable.

But what is health? 

• Is it the totally buff man or woman coming out of the gym and lighting up a cigarette or sucking on a vape?  
• Is it having the correct BMI even though you have no muscle mass or tone because you don’t work the muscles in your body? 
• Is it living an all organic lifestyle but still bitching, moaning and complaining about other people, politics and life? 
• Is it living the perfect keto life and working out ever...

I’m not a skinny Minnie, but I got rid of about 20+kg in weight in 2011 and I’ve remained at my current body size ever since…because I finally worked out what causes it.  

I know that sounds funny, stupid even to say I didn’t know what caused me to put on weight…clearly it was the amount of calories I was consuming, but what I mean is, I didn’t know what caused the frenzy on eating. And I can tell you, no one else knows what causes it either, because if they did, we wouldn’t have the problems we have. 

I don’t have a degree in nutrition, psychology or fitness. 

But sometimes, actions and results speak louder than degrees. 

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.  

Theory that hasn’t been applied is just that, theory. 

But theory that has been applied, tested and collated, that is knowledge.  

And everything that I teach is something I learned (theory), then applied it, and applied it, and applied it, and applied it, and in some cases, altered it, applied it a...

It's not just about what you do for your body, but also what you do for yourself psychologically, neurologically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

It’s a way of living that’s based on the principle that it’s not what we do, but how we do it.

Happiness, playfulness, and relaxation are important to our well-being, they help us overcome obstacles in ways that impact positively on our weight, health, and well-being.

When we’re happy, we’re more likely to take on challenges and risks without worrying about the consequences.

Being playful can help us to feel less overwhelmed because it helps us to focus on the present moment and find a way to enjoy it.

Feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally relaxed means we’re more capable of conscious control of our emotional responses which leads to more positive reactions in our day-to-day life, creating more enjoyable experiences which in turn leads to better health habits and sleep.

Happiness, playfulness, and relaxation provide us w...

An early morning walk through the Roma Street Parklands is always such a delight for the senses. 🥰🥰🥰 It's so easy to feel good walking among flowers and the smell of early morning dew.

Did you know you’re non-conscious eating habits, patterns and behaviours are an accumulation of every time you’ve eaten food throughout your entire life?

They’re a collection of every set eating time you’ve had:  

• At home
• At pre-school & school
• Every job you’ve ever had
• Every time you’ve filled gaps in your day with food or beverages
• And indeed every stage of your personal private life
• Every time you’ve self-soothed with food or beverages
• Every time you have experienced an emotional connection to a specific food or time for eating food

Those connections aren’t just psychological, their biological and neurological as well.

Our whole mind and body are wired to fire in certain ways, in certain conditions to get us to do certain things that we taught it to do.

Our brain and body are mimicking, learning machines that learn, code and store information, patterns and experiences through our emotions.

How much coding and wiring you have connected to food and beve...

One of my greatest obstacles that I consistently have to overcome is being a workaholic. It's something I easily fall into but at least these days, working for myself, I can say I do truly enjoy the time I spend working. But hey, my business isn't called Dietless Working, it's called Dietless Living® and it's time to get back to doing the living part.

I love walking but I never know where to find the great walking tracks, but recently I found a great app called All Trails - problem solved!

I've been to Wellington Point many times before, but I never knew there were some lovely wetlands to walk through and I made a 16km walk out it! I didn't see Wonky or any of his mates, they might have had the long weekend off as well....? :-)

There was no skating for me on the weekend! I was down in the lab creating a new short online course, Food Is My Friend™! I had such an urge to put together something special for Christmas and kick start 2023’s weight loss and health goals right now I couldn’t tear myself away! 

We all want to start the New Year already feeling great, feeling in charge and ready to take on new challenges don’t we?  

I remember when I struggled with my weight, I always felt like food was the enemy! Food was this thing I had to have to survive, but it seemed that everything I ate was “bad” for me. You know how it is, you want to lose weight and it doesn’t matter where you look there’s an expert saying what you can or can’t eat to lose weight and more confusing is that they disagree with each other. It truly did my head in! 

I just wanted to be friends with food. I simply wanted to make good choices for myself and be happy with the choices I made. I wanted to eat normally and lose weight natur...
