I really dislike running people or things down but what I do believe in is honesty. There’s many things in the industry which come out as new or ‘game changers’ that are simply overhyped and don’t do that much. People are always looking for easier ways to get in shape trust me I am to, unfortunately other people know this who are smart business minded people but unethical and will take advantage of this. From day one I’ve made sure the advice I give regarding nutrition and training is reliable and to the best of my knowledge, I don’t do gimmicks and will only support what I believe in. Unfortunately many other trainers and nutritionists will try and offer this ‘easier alternative’ which simply doesn’t work, is dangerous or only works for a short period of time. The problem is if I promoted something for a quick money type situation is my time in the industry would be limited as eventually people would realise I’m not a reliable source of information and my credibility as a trainer and nutritionist would soon go after people realised I was just in it for the money. Luckily for the people I work with I’m in the game of helping people for the long run and don’t do gimmicks. This article was spurred on by a few things I’ve seen of recent one being a few individuals still spouting to effect ‘Eat what you want when you train with me I’ll still get you in great shape’ if this was truthful then how many more people would be in great shape? Probably everyone would be. Another thing I’ve seen is about body fat testing, there are very few methods to accurately test body fat. Body fat measuring machines where you stand on something or hold onto something are usually inaccurate and I don’t use them. It’s quite easy to assess someone’s body fat not to the percentage but to see if it’s going up or down via photos and a trained eye. This is how I monitor all of my clients and if you take a look at the transformation section on this website you’ll see quite easily the changes in body fat between both photos.
