I've spent two years telling people to ignore fad diets.

This week I'm defending them. All of them. Keto, carnivore, alkaline, celery juice, cabbage soup, the lot.

They work. 
That's the problem.

Then there's a study from Stanford that quietly demolished the entire "find the right diet for your body type" industry, including the DNA tests and the metabolic typing, and nobody reported the most important line in it.

After that I make the case for what I actually do for a living, and then list all the reasons you might not need it, which my accountant has asked me to stop doing.

In this episode:

• Why every fad diet works, and the one mechanism they all share
• Why a rule beats good judgement at four o'clock on a Thursday
• 609 people, 12 months, low fat against low carb, and what the difference actually was
• The gene test question that got answered directly, and what it predicted
• Why "just build sustainable habits" has the same failure rate, and why nobody in my industry says so
• The detail buried in that Stanford study that changes what the headline means
• What beat an actual prescription drug by nearly two to one

Only a FEW things can cure a hangover... 

Not the fry-up, not the Berocca, not the pint of water before bed, and definitely not the hair of the dog. 

What you can do is have a much smaller one, and there's decent evidence for how.

This week:
What a hangover actually is, why it isn't just dehydration, why the colour of what you're drinking genuinely matters, and the honest version of the alcohol and health conversation now that the old "red wine is good for you" line has quietly fallen apart.

No lectures. I'm not telling anyone to stop drinking.

In this episode:

What's actually happening in your body the morning after, and why dehydration is only part of it

Congeners, and why dark spirits and red wine hit harder than clear ones

Why alcohol wrecks your sleep even when you sleep for nine hours

The things worth doing before, during and after, in order of how much difference they make

You'll thank me after listening to this...

STOMACH BUG?

Half the country still believes flat Coke helps.

It's one of the worst things you can drink.

This one's entirely practical. No theory you can't use today.

Most of the advice people are working from on stomach bugs is about thirty years out of date, and one bit of it actively slows your recovery down.

In this episode:

• Why this is a fluid problem rather than a food problem, and the sipping technique that keeps it down
• What rehydration sachets actually do, why the sugar in them isn't for energy, and the one thing to buy now while you're well
• Why flat cola, fruit juice, fizzy drinks and sports drinks all make it worse
• Why "starve it out" is outdated advice, and what the evidence says about eating early
• The BRAT diet: fine as a starting point, poor as a rulebook
• What two large trials in the New England Journal of Medicine found when they tested probiotics on nine hundred children each
• When not to reach for Imodium
• Why the scales drop and why that weight isn't fat
• When to stop listening to me and ring 111

Following on from Wednesday's episode, this is how to make the most out of supermarkets - saving money, time and not buying things you don't need. 

Remember to improve your algorithm by following this podcast to showcase you're interested in information from experts. 

The supermarket layout is one of the most refined pieces of behavioural engineering in your daily life, and almost nobody notices it happening. 

This week I take you round a shop and show you exactly what's going on, including the bits that are genuinely clever and the bits that are complete rubbish.

In this episode:

• Why the shelf isn't a shelf, it's advertising space, and what brands are actually paying for
• The number in the government's own evidence: how much prime placement lifts sales by, with nothing about the product changing
• What the 2022 HFSS law actually did, how many fewer items a day it took out of baskets, and why the overall figure barely moved
• How supermarkets rebuilt the same prompts within weeks, including the reason aisles got longer
• Why the milk is at the back, why you walk into flowers, and what the music is doing
• Multibuys, anchoring and Clubcard pricing: how the maths gets away from you
• The food psychology researcher with eighteen retracted papers, and why half the "facts" you've read about supermarkets came from his lab
• Seven ways to shop without being played, none of which need willpower

You have a set of rules that were designed to fail.

In 1945 a physiologist took thirty six healthy young men, restricted their food for six months, and watched binge eating appear in men who had never binged in their lives. We've known what restriction does since 1950. We're still selling people the opposite.

No listener question this week. Just the evidence.

In this episode:

• What the Minnesota Starvation Experiment found, and why the psychological results matter more than the physical ones
• Why the hunger after a diet is measurable, and why one study found it still hadn't gone back to normal after a year
• Why binge eating usually isn't starve all day then eat everything at night, and what's actually happening instead
• The milkshake study that found dieters ate MORE after being fed, and what that tells you about the "what the hell" moment
• Why banning a food makes it louder, not quieter
• Six things that break the cycle, starting with the one nobody wants to hear
• When it's more than a messy Friday night, and where to get proper help

"I'm 51. I haven't changed a thing, but everything's gone to my middle."

Caroline in Monmouth asked the question thousands of women are Googling at 2am, so this week I'm answering it properly.

Something real is happening during perimenopause and menopause. But almost everything you've been told about it is wrong.

In this episode:

• What the SWAN study found when it scanned over a thousand women through the menopause transition, and why fat gain doubled while the scales barely moved
• Why "my metabolism has crashed" doesn't hold up, and what the biggest study on human metabolism actually shows about your forties and fifties
• Does HRT make you gain weight? What the Cochrane review of 28 trials and 28,000 women says, and what it doesn't
• Why no supplement balances your hormones, and why you don't need to cut carbs
• The five things that actually work for menopause weight gain, in order of how much they matter
• Why the scales are the worst measurement you can use right now, and what to use instead

THIS EPISODE WILL LOSE ME CLIENTS.

I'm about to do something my accountant would tell me not to.

In this episode, I give away, completely free, the exact blueprint I use to coach hundreds of people every year to lose fat, get their energy back, and stop feeling at war with food. Not the watered-down version. 
The whole method. 
The thing people pay me for.

Why? 
Because knowing what to do was never most people's problem.

I walk you through all six steps, start to finish, and bring each one to life with real client stories (names and details changed): the man who'd yo-yo dieted for 35 years, the woman told she had a "slow metabolism" who had to eat MORE to lose weight, the client whose scale went UP while he was quietly winning, and the mindset shift that changes everything before a single meal is touched.

By the end, you'll have a blueprint you can actually use on yourself. 
No gatekeeping. 
No catch. 

Grab a pen.

And if you take it and run with it? 
Genuinely, I'll be made up for you.

Paul
