Publisher Description
The story of one man who had the guts to lose his gut. This is a book that will finally help an ordinary bloke lose weight. (Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with wearing a red bandana.)
Ever struggled with your weight? Or did you stop struggling years ago and let the pies win? Peter FitzSimons has been there and eaten that. In The Great Aussie Bloke Slim-Down, he will lead you through the fads that failed him, the diets that died fast and left him furious, and the ways his waistline kept the belt industry in business.
Take tips from someone who knows how to eat and drink way too much. And how to stop. Peter FitzSimons was a large lad with little self-control who has found the light and finally become lighter. In this book he tells you how and shows you who is responsible for you getting fat in the first place. (Spoiler alert: It’s you. And sugar.)
Have you ever wondered which diet works? Well, Peter FitzSimons has devoted his adult life to trying all of them and failing miserably. But you may have noticed this man-mountain has lost a lot of his landspace over the last few years. This is the tale of how that happened and how it can happen to the bloke in your life.
Customer Reviews
Every bloke should read this!
Cut out the sugar, it's so simple and it works. I discovered this before reading Peter's book and easily lost 25 kilos so far. Peter has written a great book that is an easy read and written in 'bloke' language, though the girls should also take note too!
Don't agree or abide by everything Peter suggests, I still partake in the odd alcoholic bevvie and won't give up coffee. But the sugar has gone (mostly) and the weight/fat continues to disappear and I'm feeling happier and healthier at 50 than I've ever felt in my life.
Read this book!
Inspiring and Amazing read !
A must for all overweight people to read and digest.
Simple yet not condescending text.
Love the fact the author can relate and understand the reader.
Walked six kms this morning and already sugar is history in my life.
Never felt so confident and inspired to loose kilos.
Life changing read 👍🏿
The Great Aussie Bloke Slim-Down
My daughter first sent me the link to an interview with Peter FitzSimons about this book (hint, hint!). In typical Fatty Bumka style, I decided not to buy it until after Christmas so I didn't ruin my festive season eating plan! Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down - it just made sense. I'm so grateful to read that there are other blokes who, like me, have struggled with their weight for much of their adult lives and that there is a relatively simple solution. Peter's thorough research, personal experience on the subject and unique writing style, made it easy to understand and enjoyable to read, whilst delivering such a critical message that I, for one, certainly needed to hear.. Thanks so much Peter. Cheers Rob McIntosh
