The Greedy Pigs 12 Week Guide To Shredding Fat And Building Lean Muscle.

Hi there, I am a self confessed Greedy Pig, I am the one giving you this guide, so please understand that I refer to my self as the Greedy Pig, not you.. I am also the man in the photo, yes, the one with the six pack abs. That was me when I had reached my fortieth birthday. I am also the founder of the London Fitness Academy. Don't try to apply as you won't get in, it is a private members club only.

I am telling you this because I want you to know that I am not an influencer or marketer or someone who doesn't know their A** from their elbow. I have been a qualified fitness professional and business professional for more years than I care to remember, I have managed some of the most exclusive gyms in London, where the well healed paid lots of money for my advice and I even competed at county level as a sportsman in my early days. So I know a thing or two about being greedy, hungry and over indulging due to my nature, but I also know a thing or two about being honest about why we get fat and how to reverse this through honest hard work.

So I hope you excuse my bluntness, if you are prepared to stop your self defeating BS you might like what I have to say.

How do I get shredded and lean like the guys in the photos on Instabooker...?

There is a simple process to getting lean and it's not that secret belly melting recipe the health and nutrition industry tries to sell us. We all know that it really involves willpower and starving oneself to the point of belly ache. We also know there is a process for building muscle and it involves attending a torture chamber, gym or similar place and putting ourselves through a punishing regime.

12 weeks NOT 12 days.

Well, I'm here to tell you that's only partly true. The problem is your mindset. Nobody wants to hurt themselves, and we as humans are designed to protect not punish ourselves. So you must first change your mind, then, and only then, will you manage to change your body.

Most people want a quick fix. If your honest, you'll know this is you too. 7 day abs, 3 days to lose 12 pounds. the 4 minute workout. The One Minute Manager for goodness sake.. Really?

Look, I'm going to level with you. You'll achieve little in 4 minutes. Even that takes longer for most of us. You have to accept that permanent change, if there is such a thing, more on that later, is going to take time. Let me repeat that. Change Takes Time.. and you know what, that's OK. Let me explain.

Our Body Cycles And Why Permanent Change Is Illusory.

Hunter Gatherers

As humans our bodies have evolved to cope with different climates and and different seasons and different or rather fluctuating food supplies .

We evolved from primitive creatures that were naturally hunter gatherers, yet our intellectual capabilities moved us along further as we realised that farming was more efficient than chasing down deer...

Even as farmers our food supply was subject to drought, and we were subject to famine. pestilence and disease.

Our bodies are remarkable and we survived precisely because our bodies could store food and nutrients to keep us alive. Just as the farmer store food in the summer to feed animals in the winter, our bodies do the same. We convert nutrients to fat stores when we have abundance and these stores keep us healthy when food is in short supply.

Fortunately or unfortunately however, we live in such advantaged economic times, that even during a pandemic, most if us in the western world, do not know hunger. We can always buy food, its cheap and its everywhere.

Cheap, tempting and oh so comforting. Those Hobnobs, that KFC "Deliveroo'd" to your door. That Full English, Irish, or what about a nice oily Chinese and oh yes, as today is "Friday", let's have "Fish and Chips"....

I needn't go on. It's cheap nasty and full of the artery hardening fat that is going to kill 50% of us.

You can tell yourself you're happy to be fat, but the truth is you're fat and happy. It's not the same thing. You should be happy, you should have a high self esteem and self worth. But stop lying to yourself. If you're anything like me, you are not happy about being fat. It hurts, it's unhealthy and clothes don't quite look as good, even well fitting clothes, as when you lose a few pounds.

A walk in the park is unpleasant when it hurts your ankles, and you're sweating buckets.

So please, be happy, but don't settle for excuses. OK I hear you say, I've got a medical reason for my fat condition. And you know what you might have. If you do, seek medical advice. This article is written for healthy people with a weight problem. Medical related weight gain is out of the scope of my expertise so I will mention it briefly, then move on.

I am fat because of a medical condition!

People with medical conditions often have to adhere to programs of medication and sedentary lifestyles. Being unwell is often the cause for not exercising and overeating. Nobody who is unwell or medically ill should take up diet and exercise without the full supervision of their doctor.

That said, healthy eating and moderate exercise is often prescribed by doctors, who are becoming more aware of the need to prescribe alternative holistic and healthy lifestyles, to support medication programs. If you believe your fat condition is as a result of a medical condition there must be a "cause and effect". So get the help you need.

Most overweight or, to term it more accurately, over fat people, are that way due to eating and lifestyle factors, not medical ones. Medical complications do however arise as a result of poor general fitness, more than the other way round. So if you are ill because you are fat, not fat because you are ill, then read on.
