About this listen

*The No.1 Sunday Times Bestseller
Are you ready to change your life?

Are you sick of always wearing black and getting undressed in the dark?

Are you fixated with a number on the scales?

Are you afraid to step into the gym and commit to a routine?

Is your confidence at an all-time low?

Is all of this having a negative impact on your life, relationships and happiness?

James Smith is armed with every tool you’ll ever need to achieve incredible results – from dieting, training and staying in shape to identifying the fads, cons and nonsense that get in
the way of genuine lasting progress.

Learn to reset your current mindset and attitude towards your diet and training, with chapters covering:
• Fat loss versus muscle gain
• Metabolism and ‘body types’
• Protein targets and calorie tracking
• Common fitness fallacies
• Female fat loss
• Supplements
• Training versus exercising
• The importance of sleep
• Forming habits

This book will put you back in control. It is not a fad diet or a short-term training plan. It will empower you to adopt better habits that will allow you to take charge of your life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Been a long time follower and this book is the best summary of all the learnings. its not just nutrition and PT advice but life advice. A pleasant reminder not to be so hard on myself and how to ensure others aren't either. First completed audio book for the win! I feel so empowered to make decisions & learnt some pretty powerful quotes... definitely worth a listen

Such a great book... Explains everything so you can actually understand it. Cuts out all the industry b.s. and has changed how I feel about myself and the way I workout. I've just gone back to basics like I used to do before it was made so confusing. Thank you

This is by far one of the best health books I have ever read, I have learnt so much and as James says this book has changed my life and my perception on health and fitness. I know know the methods I need to adapt if I want to loose weight etc
Better yet, James voice is featured in the book rather than a random person. Please trust me on this book 🙏🏻

One of the most educational health books
