My position is that there wasn’t as much recognition, acceptance from the institutions particularly government institutions. Then in 2015, his health failing and with both time and options running out, one fateful encounter finally set in motion a personal journey of discovery that would see him achieve and maintain a healthy weight for the first time in his life. And it is at the feet of that very sentiment to which I lay a great deal of the blame for many of the health problems that plagued my life over the years that followed. Or maybe you just want to glass all the cool, slick, and neat stuff your fellow mommies have to offer and enjoy some brown talk.

What I love is your initial resistance, and I think it's quite normal because it's, and to use a pun that everybody uses, it is against the grain. If you’re on the fence about how fix your struggle with obesity, if you need some inspiration for the journey you’re already on, or if you’d simply like to celebrate success with a friend in the LCHF (or other low-carb) community, this is the One Book.The other two are still locked in place for the moment, though I imagine in a few more years, the ginger will be next, and only the nerd will remain.

And so I'm living off cereal and toast in the morning, sandwiches for lunch and vegetables for dinner. I knew I was obviously horrendously overweight, but were there any markers and blood testing and all that sort of thing in my history, that I could use as additional points of reference to indicate you know, where I was and where I am now.

Like, you've lived this way now for years and years and you've changed your life, your future, your trajectory, your whole, your whole life. The body is going to take some getting used to, to you know how it's, how it's going to be operating and how it's going to be metabolising as energy. Had I known at that age what I know now, my life could have been so completely different that I cannot even begin to imagine how it might otherwise have turned out. I used to live next door to a family with an overweight teenage boy, who I would often see shut away in his bedroom as I would walk past on my way home from work. Obese people, particularly those who have made many unsuccessful attempts to lose weight, often have low self-esteem.And so often in times like that people will, they'll go and look at other people's stories for inspiration, for motivation, and it's so good to see a story like yours that is actually not just, you know for the short haul. The number on the scales is dropping in a way that I had never seen before in my entire life and it wasn't really until about December 2015, I started October, so it was about Christmas, about two months in towards the end of 2015. So it was a very gradual thing for me with the hunger, but it was at that point at the cafeteria that day that I realised, “Hey, this is where low carb can be reconciled with one key aspect of that dietary advice”.

Yet that dream eventually, finally, became a reality as Brendan has lost 50 kg and maintained his weight loss for 5 years by eating low carb. years ago on Christmas Eve 151 people never made it to their destination, the effects of that night are still felt by so many to this day.

And the way I try and explain it is that, you know back in the day when I was hugely fat, I was just responding to my signals that my body was telling me, that it was time to eat, that I was hungry almost all the time. The One Book that is both a deeply emotional memoir and a brilliant survey of scientific evidence demonstrating that being fat is not your fault. Obesity or its medical consequences may prevent individuals from doing many activities that they enjoy, resulting in impairment of quality of life. I was eating a lot, but it was just the carbs that I got rid of for starters, and it was then just over a very gradual period of several months that the hunger eventually just started to take care of itself, and it felt great. In a highly scientific survey it’s been revealed that according to New Yorkers The Nutters Club Beebro Raw Honey is most likely the best tasting honey in the world.

The outcome is below and in todays Herald, as well as part of the latest episode of Tangiwai: A Forgotten History. So the book is “The Fat Ginger Nerd”, which again, I just, I think you're right, it has some sort of slight irreverence to it, but it makes me smile that you just own that outright. It took me another sort of 30 plus years before I would finally figure out the answer to that question, but that's where it begins at least, my story. And so to finally have this low carb diet put to me by someone in person for the first time, I just, I wasn't sure what to do. I have a background in broadcasting, in teaching and in software development, and more recently I have gained certificates both in health coaching and in nutrition from PreKure.Brendan reflects on his own weight loss transformation and speaks out against the continuing one-size-fits-all dietary dogma that had previously condemned him to decades of unnecessary suffering. Brendan tells his story with such a sensitive understanding, and gives you the tools to completely revolutionise your future and your freedom.
