MAN v FAT Talks Male Weight Loss With Australian TV
On the MAN v FAT Weight Loss Manual promo tour, we’ve reached Australia, where I got the chance to talk men and weight loss with David Campbell from Channel 9 Mornings.

MAN v FAT Goes Broga
One of the many surprises that the Big Fat Survey brought up was the different forms of activity that men were interested in getting involved in. We didn’t think that yoga would get much of a look-in, but more than 13% of you were interested in getting your downward-facing dog on, so when we had the chance […]
Are Secret Calories Making You Fat?
Secret calories – ooooh, it sounds exciting! It’s not. It’s really not. It’s essentially all the things that we put into our mouths without really thinking about it.
