Nerd Do Well: Amazing Loser Atef Ben Nasser
We’ve all been there, sitting in science class stinking of BO and Lynx because we were too embarrassed to shower after PE.

Flip The Switch – Amazing Loser Gino Brouwers
For most of us, identifying and eliminating the poor food choices we make is the first step to weight loss (except those mystifying couples on television shows like Channel 4’s Secret Eaters who are somehow oblivious to their own eating habits) but there’s certainly a case to be made for sticking with the foods you love […]

The problem is it can quickly become expensive and when it comes to successful long-term weight loss, consistency is […]
Cigarettes & Alcohol – Amazing Loser Daniel Prodrick
Sometimes knocking the junk food on the head just isn’t enough – any successful long-term weight loss journey is founded on a total lifestyle change, and for a lot of men, that also means giving up two of your dad’s/Liam Gallagher’s favourite vices: cigarettes and alcohol. Aside from the more publicised negative (and fatal) health […]
Lift Or Die: Amazing Loser Jeffery Russell
