I bought my books from trademe and I bought 'big fat lies' from Fishpond. It was cheaper than trademe and free postage

Yay! Kiwi's in the house lol.

Hi to everyone. I had the video link sent to me which got me interested. Couldn't find anywhere in Auckland I could buy the book but came across Gary Taubes "Why we get Fat" book on Amazon Kindle store. I'm a bit torn between the two diets and whether I should cut down the carbs as Gary suggests or follow Davids advice. Well any one I started my journey yesterday with a mix of the two.

I'm a big Samoan boy who's sick of being fat. I'm 182cms, 124.5kgs and live in Auckland. I'm so stoked to find this post! Look forward to hearing all the good news and getting to encourage each other through our journey!

 

Peace!

Hi Big Samoan Boy!

Going fructose-free is not a "diet"  -  it's a new way of life.  Diets don't work.  Read Big Fat Lies"  also by David Gillespie to see why.

You can buy David's books through Fishpond [ www.fishpond.co.nz ]  with cool prices and free postage.

Your body stats sound pretty much like his when he started out. He lost 40kg in 12 months. You can too :-)

I'm an expatriate Kiwi living on the Mid-north Coast of NSW.

Hi John,

Yup, brought the book and have been going strong for the last 8-9 weeks. Had a weak moment at easte but other than that I've being sticking to the lifestyle. Its definitely become easier as the weeks have gone on. Still trying to find a good balance but can happily report that I now weigh in at 111kgs!!!!! another 10-15 and I'll be at my goal weight.

Thanks for the support!

Cheers
