A website for men wanting to lose body-fat and regain their health.
By the way, I'm 60 years old (November 2023).
A book about losing weight & regaining your health:
Please read my book!
I have written this 200 page book that talks about everything to do with losing weight & regaining your health. It's available exclusively from Amazon. If you are thinking of making a proper change to your weight or your health, please read it so that you fully understand the best ways to approach your goals. Available as a paperback, hardcover & Kindle.
The book covers how to lose body-fat while maintaining your all-important muscle-mass, and also explains the possible diseases that can afflict you if you are overweight. Many such diseases, including type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, can be reversed with proper diet & exercise, which I explain in detail.
If you read it, please provide Amazon with a review & star-rating. This helps other people decide whether they should read the book too!
From the back cover...
This book is written especially for middle-aged men for a very good reason. I am one! Middle aged men are notorious for being overweight & unhealthy. It’s the problem when relationships, work, kids and commitments have taken their toll over the past few decades. All of a sudden you look into the mirror and … “where the hell did that come from?” Your love handles have become spare tyres. Your chin is taking a nap on top of your chest. Is that your chest? Exercise now involves watching sports, not playing them.
Then when you try to lose weight, you realise all that fat has really settled in for the long-haul and has no intention of leaving. Your extra-helpful friends are full of great ideas on how you can lose weight, such as the oldie-but-goodie “eat less and exercise more”, and “just cut down on your portion size” and maybe even “you need to do the cardio classes at the gym”.
The trouble is, it’s not that simple. Things are different from when you were 25 and full of beer, bad manners & testosterone. It would be easiest to just blame midlife & settle for being cuddly. However, there’s a long list of reasons why being overweight is especially bad news for you as a middle-aged guy.
Here’s why: high blood pressure, heart disease, type II diabetes, a very high chance of a heart attack, a lack of fulfilling sex life, gout, depression & anxiety, vascular dementia or a stroke. It’s just a case of which one gets you first. Am I being over-sensational to try to sell my book? Try this then. In the UK alone, someone is admitted into a hospital every 5 minutes with a heart attack. An overwhelming number of them will be guys in your age bracket with your bodyfat, your blood pressure & your lifestyle, and I bet practically none of them expected to have a heart attack on the day that it struck.
Importantly, there is a reason why society in general, and you specifically, are overweight. There is a certain level of inevitability in our society that you will put extra pounds onto your body, regardless of how hard you try to fight it. There’s a very good reason for this. It has infiltrated its way into every aspect of our nutrition and it’s the basis of this book. Learning how to see and avoid it is the basis of you learning how to lose bodyfat, gain some muscle, recharge your hormones and learn to enjoy an active lifestyle that I hope will take you forward in a healthy and thoroughly enjoyable way. I’m inviting you to a long-term strategy that will have you fit & healthy, instead of dead.
If you’re ready to get things moving (your bodyfat I mean, although all sorts of other things will get moving again too), then let’s do this together.

By the way... this is me in the photo. I turned 60 in November 2023. My methods will keep you looking & feeling way younger.
Is it time for a change!
Losing weight (body fat) is easy if you know how. Turn your excess spare tyres into toned curves! Annoy your friends! Treat you partner with your renewed sex-drive.
Other fad diets will just make you tired and weak, if you haven't noticed. There's no sustenance in lettuce leaves.
Try my Ketogenic approach. Come with me if you want to shed your fat, build a toned physique, recharge your hormones and become healthy as Hell!
What's important in your life?
To me, the important things in my life are my health, my mobility (being able to do everything I want) and the people I love.
What are your important things?
We only have one life and one body.
If your body stops, you stop.
Therefore it's imperative we look after our body! Being overweight seriously impacts on your health. It reduces the things you can do, and it could very likely shorten your life! I want to live for as long as I can, but most importantly, in a way that I can still enjoy life; being mobile & having my wits about me!
And I definitely don't want to become a burden on the people who love me.
Do you want to look sexier?
Do you want to be more attractive to the person you love, or perhaps more attractive to hopeful dates?
Having a healthy physique is sexy. It attracts people to you. It gives you an aura.
Become more confident. Despite popular opinion (held by overweight men), having a "dad bod" isn't sexy. Get rid of your bloated belly. Become sexy again. It's not too late, and it's certainly not out of your grasp.
Spoiler Alert: It does require motivation, dedication and a bit of hard work. But once you get started on the road to a better physique, you will find that it becomes addictive!
Feel pride in yourself. Enjoy the opposite sex glancing a second time at you as you walk past!
Live a long, healthy life!
I'm 60 years old at the time of writing this (January 2024). That's me in the photo in September 2023; aged 59 and three quarters. People generally think I'm in my late 40's.
Why? Because I'm lean and reasonably muscular, and my skin is healthy. I'm not wrinkly (yet), I'm not pastie and I am more active than many people half my age.
How can you live a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life? Start looking after yourself.
That might sound easier said than done, but it's actually quite simple. Eat the right foods, and push weights a few times each week. Your body-fat will fall off and your muscles will grow! Your skin will become alive again... if you follow the ketogenic diet approach which puts more healthy fats into your diet. Becoming ketogenic is simple when you know how. My book explains this in detail.
Re-activate your sex life
Have certain important facets stopped performing the way they should? Having issues "down there" is likely to make you feel inadequate and can easily impact on your relationships with others, especially your partner.
Not being able to get it up, or keep it up, is common in men of a certain age, but it can be avoided or reversed. It takes a few changes to your lifestyle & your body composition. Excessive body fat has been shown to have a direct influence. High blood pressure from being overweight can cause a loss in rigidity because the blood in your hard-on gets redirected to other parts of your body. Low testosterone is a result of excess body fat. So we need to reduce your blood pressure & your body fat, and increase your testosterone levels. These can all be easily achieved by changing your diet (removing carbohydrates & adding healthy dietary fats) and hitting the gym to push weights a few times each week. Pushing heavy weights promotes testosterone production. The results will speak for themselves!
Eat great food and NEVER feel hungry.
This isn't about counting calories or eating a lettuce leaf for your main meal. Eat lots of protein, healthy fats, and minimize carbohydrates. There's good reasoning behind this. Listen to my podcasts for more information, especially podcast 1 & 2 (separate tab on this website).
Being the new healthy YOU is easy when you know how!
Meet the Fructose Monster. He's the reason you're overweight.
Sugar is your enemy. Do I sound like one of the weirdos preaching my opinions? Then for a full sermon, go to my podcast # 4 (separate tab on this website) where I really go to town on why sugar is so bad for you! Hallelujah!
