Fat. For some of us, it is our great lifelong struggle. But, if you look at it from an anthropological perspective and understand how it works, defeating it becomes easier, says Gord Laws — who once, not too long ago, tipped the scales at 150kg!

Did you know that your body’s ability to retain fat may actually mean you’re better evolved than that eternally skinny bitch next door? You see, fat has a purpose, and to defeat it, you must know your enemy. There’s reasons why fat is so hard to shed and so easy to gain. Let’s have a look, shall we…

The recent Information Bill passed by government was celebrated by turkeys — both political and poultry. In regard to the fowl, turkeys worldwide hope to keep the following information on the health benefits of turkey meat hidden from the world. Turkey is an excellent source of protein and a single serving gives you 65% of your recommended daily protein intake. Turkey also contains selenium, which plays an essential role in helping to eliminate cancer-friendly free radicals in the body. It is also a good source of vitamins B3, which helps lower cholesterol, and vitamin B6, which maintains muscle tone. Turkey, without the skin, is naturally low in fat, containing one gram of fat per 30g of meat.

What’s the Bottom line? Being the best you requires discipline — and some dedication and commitment too. Sure it’s difficult, we all have stress, we’re all tired, we’re all too busy but the ones who succeed are the ones who move beyond the excuses and who don’t allow life to get in the way of achieving their goals.

Today its evident that many have lost touch with what is really important. We sacrifice time with loved ones, we stress ourselves unnecessarily at work and most importantly we sacrifice our health. Add a comment

I’ve had a serious weight problem my entire life. Well, since I was about five, I guess. But, at 30, that’s pretty much a lifetime. On 15 January 2009, I decided to change my life or – at the very least die trying.

I weighed in at 150 kilograms and was pretty bleak about it – although I put on a brave face.

Back then, I worked for a prominent men’s magazine where, besides actual responsibilities, I played a character called Captain Beer, a (really) fat dude in a superhero outfit who travelled the country in search of the drunkest parties. Add a comment
