This is my final installment, in a series of 5 articles, that argues against some recent sensationalist media headlines suggesting that exercise leads to weight gain! Don’t believe the hype!

Flicking through the channels, and not being particularly [...]
Deciding to lose weight, or to reduce the risk of disease, are big life decisions. They take time, effort and thought. It means change from the comfort of what you are already doing to the unknown of something different. Have I already put you off?
Buying a home, entering a relationship and choosing a holiday are [...]
This weekend I am staying with my sister, just outside of Swindon. I know, 2 weekends in a row visiting family. I’m either a good family man or I have a desire to escape London at the moment!
I have noticed that my eating behaviour changes when I visit my family. Sometimes it feels that I [...]
