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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

‘Meet the man changing the way you think about fitness. One of the most sought-after personal trainers in the world (who has) knocked current fitness It boy @JoeWicks for six and stolen the coveted crown of the fitness world’ Sunday Times Style

‘Not a Diet Book mercilessly takes down every fad diet, workout and health drink you have been sold and instead explains [James’] mission to make understanding weight-loss as two words – calorie deficit.’ The Sun

‘Personal trainer James Smith’s new book, Not a Diet Book, offers frank advice on getting in shape and busts some major diet myths.’ Grazia

I am a PT who was not a fan of Smith. I felt he was a loud mouthed self publicist idiot.. This book did change my perspective - he successfully cuts thru a lot of the mythos and nonsense out there and whilst I feel that there is often more to fat loss than simply calorie deficit, this book is a thorough and clear platform on which to launch your fat loss journey. more importantly he explores why fixation on fat loss is a reductive and dull goal which should be replaced by new paradigms of training that emphasize performance and personal happiness over Insta-fame and six packs. As someone who has been in the industry for 15 years, I couldn't agree more.

Clear, concise and refreshingly honest

I’m only 1hr 30mins into this audio book and I’ve learnt so many things that I didn’t realise had a large impact on a healthy lifestyle. Great Job James, I’m absolutely loving it!!!

It shouldn't be a surprise to you that this is NOT a diet book.
If you are looking for a quick fix, the next weight loss club ect... this isn't for you.
However, if you want an honest and evidence based book discussing topics surrounding a healthy lifestyle, including how to lose weight - you have found the right book.

Even if you find James' social media posts offensive or a bit bold, this is still the book for you. Don't forget James has a small window to capture attention on social media, you'll hear another side to him remenicient of his podcasts.

Invest in yourself, buy this book.

As a fan of James since the Facebook days, I can’t help but feel so proud of him for this book! You need to hear what he has to say in this book no matter what your walk of life. James’ approach to life, coupled with his humour, is the breath of fresh air you need. Thanks James, keep her lit!

What a banger

The world was crying out for a book like this. The health industry is rife with fads and false information and James does such a good job in busting the myths through explaining the scientific fact. However this is so much more than a myth buster book. It looks at how you can change your mindset and your habits to not only be healthier but more successful and happier. Highly recommend!

Much more than a diet book

An excellent book that cuts through the nonsense in the fitness industry. Doesn’t just cover training but also sleep, nutrition, attitude and woman’s specific issue like PCOS.

Excellent book
