Now he has published The 24/7 Body, a book based on cutting-edge science which dispels the myths about fad diets and workouts' THE SUN'Shatters diet myths and clears up a wealth of misinformation' SUNDAY TIMES______________________________________ Whatever your goals or your level of fitness, this book offers you a plan to make you look and feel great 24/7. I've tried every workout and fad diet so you don't have to.As a former PE teacher, athlete, personal trainer and now one of the biggest fitness YouTubers in the World (a.k.a an absolute weirdo who films themselves doing stuff), the most common question I get from followers and even people in the street is, 'How do I get a body like yours?'People will almost whisper it, as if I'm going to usher them into a dark alleyway and reply with some kind of mystical secret. Like they're expecting to be told that they need to drink 263ml of maple syrup three times a day whilst reading the complete works of Shakespeare to their dog. Other times they seem to want me to reveal a protocol of supplements, with an inference that I must be taking steroids or other drugs, because having a good body without chemicals is now seen by some as almost impossible. It's not.This book is my attempt to shatter all of those myths and give it to you entirely straight. It is about understanding how to live your life in a more healthy, sustainable and happy way-and how to maintain that forever. And I'm not talking about becoming a monk and only eating lettuce. If you want to eat McDonald's, go for it. Eating crappy food doesn't make you fat and by the time you're done with the book you'll understand why. I want to arm you with your own set of tools so that you can tailor my methods and experiences to you and your own unique situation.Trade ReviewShatters diet myths and clears up a wealth of misinformation * Sunday Times *More fitness viewers than Joe Wicks . . .

Book SynopsisA female-centric keto diet and jumpstart plan Have you tried going keto and found that it has made you feel worse rather than better? Does keto seem to make sense in theory yet somehow fails to work as promised? But what if it's not just you? What if keto as we know it simply fails to encompass the needs of the female body? Naomi Whittel, the New York Times bestselling author of Glow15, explores how the problem isn't keto, it's fibre. Ninety per cent of women are fibre deficient, and when women go down the standard keto route, they often lean into animal-based, high-fat, zero-fibre foods, leading to low energy, brain fog, and unnecessary weight gain. Whittel explores the fruits, vegetables, and prebiotic fibre sources that work within a keto framework to: - transform your metabolism - enhance your microbiome - balance your hormones - keep you satiated Whittel's 22-day plan includes delicious, easy-to-make recipes that combine both the nutrients and flavour you need to make a sustainable change, plus a day-by-day movement framework you can tailor to your own needs. With its encouraging and supportive tone, and the foundational science and research to back it up, High Fibre Keto provides the means to get on track with keto and for keto to get on track with you."For women seeking sustainable weight loss, balanced hormones, and increased energy, this is the book for you!" - Kellyann Petrucci, M.S., N.D., New York Times bestselling author of Dr. Kellyann's Bone Broth Diet
