About this deal

If you ask my mum and dad who don’t have social media, they completely understand how fat loss works. Younger generations though are far more susceptible to believing all the bulls**t that’s out there such as, ‘your not losing weight because you aren’t intermittent fasting’, ‘you need to be in a state of ketosis to lose weight’, ‘your body needs a juice cleanse’– or whatever other nonsense is going around these days.

Giving it a very generous 2/5 stars here when really it only deserves a one, subjectively speaking of course, objectively I would say this book is good for those who aren't self-aware enough to understand themselves and their own values. This self-help book doesn't really teach you anything too life-changing. Just that "Don't compare yourself to others" "Know your values, what you want and what you don't want" He shares a lot of his own life-experiences and interests as well, making it come across like part memoir, part self-help too. What I did like was his straight-to-the-point approach. He uses a vulgar language and isn't shy at all in using the F-word. Going to the gym to burn calories isn’t necessary, it’s just an added bonus. If you add going to the gym to an already very active lifestyle, that’s the icing on the cake with a cherry on top. If you don’t want to go to the gym then don’t, some people like a plain Victoria sponge cake and that’s absolutely fine. #5 Don’t feel bad if you can only get to the gym once or twice a week Calorie deficit are the two words most people associate me with, I’m often branded ‘the calorie deficit guy’. People often say to me ‘James I am a busy corporate and I can only train once or twice a week’– they are always surprised when I say that it isn’t an issue.

Yet at the same time, Smith focuses a lot of providing stories about himself and relates that to how it can help you, which is neither good nor bad, but I believe it would have been better for him to more frequently have the reader in mind instead of himself. Not everyone can understand the laws of physics, martial arts and mathematics, all 3 hobbies that Smith definitely shares a lot of knowledge about and I percieve it he is passionate about all subjects too. It felt a bit self-centered a lot of the time, but I understand his point, just not something that I found particularly useful. I often use the example of poor Linda from Norwich who’s paying Weight Watchers or Slimming World too much money in the hopes to lose weight, only to be told off for not having her morning s**t because she hasn’t dropped another two pounds. Who you know and your social circle can have big impacts on your perception of your self-worth. Some people can rate their status on who they know, who’s important and what influence they have. Some people think the reason for the growing selfie culture is that posting a picture with someone of influence or fame can raise their perceived status. I’ve yet to find a study on celebrity selfies, but people taking pictures of themselves to fulfil basic human needs like popularity and self-expression is a well-researched area, showing that it makes people feel better about themselves.

It takes repetition, too, the more frequently you stretch the fabric, the more you’ll grow. There are no rules as to the elasticity of this fabric. The way it acts is not governed by physics and there’s no fixed amount of strength required to pull on it. Confidence isn’t just about what you say, it’s about how you say it, your body language, your course of action and how you present or market yourself in every moment. You can’t buy self-belief or top it up overnight. It comes from your identity and how you perceive yourself. Goddard, Sophie (2020-01-30). "My no-BS fitness rules, by James Smith". Marie Claire . Retrieved 2023-06-15.Then you need to perceive someones activity level (how active someone is on a daily basis), to understand how many calories somebody would burn on top of that 70 per cent. This is determined when looking at someones Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT) and Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) aka gym training and non-gym training. Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” – Charles-Louis de Montesquieu By all means let yourself go occasionally, but as long as people aren’t letting themselves go all out every evening and consuming way more calories than they burn off then they wouldn’t have to rein it in as often aka they wouldn’t have to spend too many of their days on a reduced calorie deficit. It’s very important we have this mindset because we’ll always have problems. James realized that people brought up without real problems are some of the first to struggle with anxiety and sometimes depression. We should sometimes count on our problems as a blessing. Interestingly, self-esteem ties closely with our values and is defined as net worth for many people. How much they’re worth is usually based upon their place within a social hierarchy. This is usually fed by income, material possessions and social network.
