I'm speaking at the Global Human Nutrition and Wellness Forum tomorrow in Frankfurt. Topic is 'Personalised Nutrition in the Supplement Industry…Creating New Opportunities'!
I'm going to discuss all the ways nutrition and supplement protocols can be 'personalised', including Blood Tests, the Microbiome (Pre-/Pro-biotics), Genetics and others!

THESE PICTURES were taken at virtually the SAME TIME - seconds apart - no alterations whatsoever were made to them!
So, lesson number 1 for the New Year: DON'T TRUST “BEFORE & AFTER” PICTURES!!
..I could have used the first pic and posted a pic next week saying I'd lost 15 pounds if I were trying to mislead people!
All it took at my age (49) was 2 weeks away from the gym eating and drinking too much over the holidays (which I enjoyed) and here's the result - gained a substantial amount of fat.
BUT I'm going to get in the best shape of my life (I'm aiming to improve upon my profile pic) for my 50th BIRTHDAY - 14th August - and if you want to know how a professional sports nutritionist, who's been hitting the gym for 30+ years and worked with top physique athletes, gets his old ass in shape, then feel free to follow me and share with those you know who may benefit!!

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS for WEIGHT LOSS - BETTER than Water!
OK, I've been saying for YEARS that artificial sweeteners are not dangerous and that substituting a sugar-sweetened food or drink with an artificially-sweetened version was a moderately-effective strategy for reducing calorie intake and losing weight - see my video on Aspartame for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkGNAvcACvE
I've also written about the fact that drinking crazy amounts of water is not of any use for health or weight loss.
NOW the weight of the evidence has shifted even MORE in favour of sweeteners. A new study out of James O Hill's laboratory (he is one of the world's top obesity researchers, having had about 400 studies published over his career) has shown that versus drinking water, artificially-sweetened beverages result in better weight loss and weight maintenance...and this was a 1-year study with over 300 subjects.
Why ASPARTAME is Actually the HEALTHIEST Sweetener! Mark has recently read over 17,000 words of all the latest and outdated studies there are about the "Evil Aspartame". Let's here the truth! Check out our: FB...

Great Day in London!!
I was in London for our quarterly ESSNA meeting today. ESSNA is Europe’s largest Trade Body for Sports Nutrition and related industries - virtually all of the World’s biggest supplement companies and supplement sellers are members!
I’m very proud to say that I’ve been voted in again by my peers from these top companies to stand as Vice Chair and at today’s meeting we worked on our continuous drive to get Sports Nutrition products (developed by responsible manufacturers) the respect they deserve! …That means ensuring our members use pure, high-quality, effective ingredients, accurate labelling and no outrageous claims!
If you’re in the industry and are proud of the products you sell, you play by the rules (and you want to influence future legislation) and want to be perceived as one of the “Good Guys” (and not “part of the problem”) in our industry, then I would seriously consider enquiring about becoming a member!
Here is the second episode of "Where's The Best Gym In Town?"

Athletics Doping Scandal - IMO the top IAAF officials have to be assumed to be corrupt or completely useless at their jobs.
Sebastian Coe has been at the top table for 7 years and NOW says he wants to clean up the sport? ...and WADA only investigated because the media forced their hand...and the IOC is talking about a little slap on the wrist for Russia, despite state-sponsored doping?!?! ...THIS may be even worse than greed and complicity of FIFA and Sep Blatter (or however the hell you spell his name)!!
We have now come to the point at which the ONLY solution is to hugely step up drug testing (making it impossible for athletes to live anything approaching a normal life - when all they do is compete in sports for God's sake!) or to allow medically-supervised drug use...testing has failed again, and again, and again and every top power / speed athlete knows he/she has to "use or lose"!
