What’s this site about?
I was once a sugar addict and carboholic, always struggling with my weight and feeling tired and sluggish. That was until I found the low carb, high fat lifestyle, which completely transformed my health and my life.
I went low carb after hitting an all-time high weight and feeling hopeless about ever losing the extra kilos. I was desperate for a change and willing to try anything, so I dived into the world of low carb.
The first few weeks were tough. Giving up sugar and carbs was a challenge, but I was determined. I swapped my carb-laden meals for healthy fats like avocados, nuts and olive oil, plus as much animal fat, meat, eggs and all the things we’ve been brainwashed into avoiding. I was amazed at how quickly my sugar cravings disappeared.
I stuck with it and was soon reaping the benefits. I had more energy, my brain fog lifted, and I lost 20kg (44lb) in just four months.
What was once a struggle is now a way of life. I feel better than ever and I’ve never looked back. I’m a proud low carb advocate and I love sharing my story and helping others get the same results.
I’ve got nothing to sell you
I learnt exactly what sugar, carbs and seed oils do to you. I was seriously overweight, had type 2 diabetes and very high blood pressure. The changes I made fixed all of it. This site is about that journey, and about how the food industry keeps us fat, sick and reliant on Big Pharma.

I send a short email most days with something new and interesting: maybe a recipe, maybe an update on my journey. It helps me stay on track and do my bit to reverse the obesity and diabetes epidemic that took hold after the 1950s, when processed food makers started demonising real food like red meat, butter and eggs and replaced it with ultra-processed rubbish packed with sugar, refined carbs and seed oils.
New videos go up on YouTube every week.
It’s not a mystery how we got here. It’s time to fight back, reverse the trend and get the message out. I hope you’ll join me.
