After years as a trainer, Mike O’Donnell compiles and shares an extensive list of health and fitness tips.
As Jason said, there’s “a lot of good (and questionable) stuff in this list”. Here are my favourites:
- Diet is 85% of where results come fromā¦ for muscle and fat loss. Many donāt focus here enough.
- If you eat whole foods that have been around for 1000s of years, you probably donāt have to worry about counting calories.
- The eat low-fat advice was the biggest health disaster in the last 30 years.
- The smartest trainer I know does not have a website or best selling ebookā¦ as he is too busy training real clients. (Related.)
- If you want to get better at runningā¦ you runā¦ at bikingā¦ you bikeā¦ at a sportā¦ you play that sport.
- There is no one right way for anythingā¦ as 20 different ways can get you results.
- Results are just the simple yet important things done on a consistent basis.
- All diets fail over the long runā¦.but lifestyle changes last.
- The best thing anyone can do for their health/results is to just try new thingsā¦ see how their body adapts and respondsā¦ and learn how to take total control no matter life may throw at them in the future.

Some good points raised, I have recently undergone a lifestyle change – no more scotch eggs……. and it’s working.
Indeed. It’s simple little quotes like this that help. Too much information is complete overload for me.
As for the Scotch eggs: so what do you buy now when you travel to Asda? Only the one pound Walker’s crisps?
