About this listen

*The No.1 Sunday Times Bestseller
Are you ready to change your life?

Are you sick of always wearing black and getting undressed in the dark?

Are you fixated with a number on the scales?

Are you afraid to step into the gym and commit to a routine?

Is your confidence at an all-time low?

Is all of this having a negative impact on your life, relationships and happiness?

James Smith is armed with every tool you’ll ever need to achieve incredible results – from dieting, training and staying in shape to identifying the fads, cons and nonsense that get in
the way of genuine lasting progress.

Learn to reset your current mindset and attitude towards your diet and training, with chapters covering:
• Fat loss versus muscle gain
• Metabolism and ‘body types’
• Protein targets and calorie tracking
• Common fitness fallacies
• Female fat loss
• Supplements
• Training versus exercising
• The importance of sleep
• Forming habits

This book will put you back in control. It is not a fad diet or a short-term training plan. It will empower you to adopt better habits that will allow you to take charge of your life.

I've been watching James for a long time now (not in a weird stalkerish way... I promise), so I knew I would love the book before there was a book.
Fantastic, tell it like it is, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I've learnt a lot from James' videos and I have no doubt this book will help me immensely, as well as being an enjoyable read. Listen. Could listen to James' voice all day! Anyway, thanks James 👍🏻

Love you James!!

This book will completely change your approach to fitness, your mentality, your lifestyle - just everything. James' outlook on all of these topics is so refreshing, and gives you the option to change your life in these areas for the better, if you really take on board the information he offers.
Not A Diet Book is not another gimmick 'fitness', 'diet' or 'recipe' book calling for fast results, it will change the way you approach the whole aspect of fitness and health, which you can carry with you for the rest of your life.

never be misled by a fad diet again
