This book is about changing your life and lifestyle so that you make better choices when it comes to what makes you happy, especially in terms of fitness and food.

Smith has struggled with body image issues and briefly used anabolic steroids before ceasing after experiencing negative side effects and concerns about his future health. However; I found out very fast that even though he wrote the words, it sounded like forcing a 12 year old to go read in front of his class. From the first page, Not a Diet Book by James Smith bursts with pace, charisma, and for the most part, common sense. I have a strong dislike for dieting having watched my mum beat herself up for not being “perfect” and falling off the diet wagon.

I’ve read non of them from start to finish except one book, the Steve Job Biography as I’m a fan boy. Described by The Times as "one of the most sought-after personal trainers in the world", Smith is best known for his frank social media presence, which has attracted a significant following. So thus far, this book is exactly the same as the majority of other diet books over the last 30 years. In his own crude and vulgar way James Smith goes about dismantling a locker rooms worth of fitness and health myths.

Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. I’ve got a lot to digest from this book, but one key thing for sure is the power of NEAT and you’ll bet I’ll be standing up a lot more on the tube going forward and allowing myself those sweet treats I always crave in the evening. His second book ‘Not a Life Coach’ challenges readers to think about their own happiness and how to achieve it.

The type of a person, who constantly compares themselves to others and feels like a failure, especially when scrolling through Instagram profiles of fitness influencers. Then everything he talks about, it's like he is talking about how good he is and then has a come back for all the critics that are going to nay say about the thing he just talked about. You can't turn around in modern society, or go on the Instas or the Tik Toks or Twitterbook without someone offering you their personal advice on fitness. Sometimes, life is about taking small steps instead of big, drastic jumps just because something doesn't work for us straight away. I would definitely recommend this to others, but would suggest taking some advice with a pinch of salt!

It’s not only incredibly information, myth busting everything I ever thoughts, but James’s voice throughout just emphasises a healthy lifestyle is more then about food and exercises but the environments and people around us. Deliveries to destinations outside Australia are made by DHL courier, and cannot be made to post office boxes. Started good and I thought it was interesting but the middle part of this book should of been kept for his memoirs. This is why I follow him and happily bought a book that rehashed so much of what I already knew, and why I highly recommend his program to all of the people. But, there was a flippancy and disregard of reality in just a few areas of the book that made me wary.

Thanks to James, I am no longer scared to cheat or have an off day and eat a cheeseburger during a family meal.

This book is an equivalent of an attentive friend, who sits you down and tells you that you need to get off your butt (mate) and stop being a knob. better off finding an author who doesnt give you a mishmash of points and ideas that you could get from the internet. Not many people actually look at this even a little bit, they don't even acknowledge that the female body is different to the male body and that the monthly changes we endure have massive impact on so many things.
