About

 

Welcome to BendTheBar.com, a blog focused not only on weight loss tips, but a winning psychology as well. We all want to be happier, healthier people, but with the amount of junk floating around on the Internet, our heads can get quickly filled with rubbish.

 

 

Put enough rubbish in there and we start to think it’s true. This is how brainwashing works. Well, I’m here to make that brain of yours dirty again with empowering ideas and helpful tips that will help you become what you want to be.

 

How can you trust me? Well, I think a picture is often worth a thousand words:

 

Now, this is not a picture of a bodybuilder who fattened himself up for a photo op – bodybuilders do not look like I used to! I was a genuine fattie, and had a great personality, yadda yadda yadda. I would love to show you some pictures of my leg and arm definition (this was before I became strong), but since I am a teacher – it is not appropriate to post anything more revealing than the above. And if my students saw my fat picks… how embarrassing! Note, I’m not a model – I did not shave off body hair for the photo, use tanning oil, pump iron or use Photoshop. If I did, I could look like the model on a magazine cover, and so could you! I know this because I do use Photoshop and have learned many tricks of the trade – but that is not what this blog is about.

 

It’s the candid truth about losing weight, and that’s why it’s valuable – from someone who has actually done it, and kept it off for over 6 years now.

 

Had I not lost the weight and kept it off, I guarantee that I would not have met my lovely wife or done half the things I have done in the last 6 years. I have since been to 18 countries, been married for 4 years to a smart, sexy and wonderful Korean woman. I also only work 25 hours per week. Before I lost the weight, I had been to one country and worked 3 jobs. I look like a new man, and trust me, it makes all the difference.

 

At least for now, I will not focus on the benefits of how being physically powerful has its advantages, but these benefits have had unexpected rewards as well.

 

Don’t believe the lies they tell you about it being OK to be overweight – they’re meant to keep you from becoming what you want to be. If you suddenly get fit, your fat friends will feel threatened and likely ostracize you and try to sabotage your efforts. Don’t let them. You will feel healthier for the rest of your life, be able to do things you could never do before, and you will make better, more capable friends who can enjoy these activities with you.

 

As you can guess, there are many topics that I wish to cover on this blog. These include, but are not limited to losing fat and eating better. I admit that many of my article titles may not be very revealing, but they are at least pertinent to the title and are to the point. I don’t write a title for one thing then talk about something completely different, at least most of the time. Nor do I use newspaper titles to lure your interest and then waste your time. I also hit the same topic from several different angles, and I direct you to different posts often.

 

For example, I may tell you how to get rid of belly fat in one article, and how to reduce tummy fat in another. There are many ways to lose weight fast, but I will talk about how to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks several times. Protein shake recipes sound an awful lot like meal replacement shakes for weight loss? They are! However, I have different things to say about each, so pleas just bear with me.

 

I blog because I enjoy writing and making resources available for friends, family and my Internet followers. However, I hate organizing everything. If I had to do this, I would have less time and motivation for writing. I hope you can lose weight quickly and keep the weight off thanks to these posts. It is just the beginning, but I plan on writing hundreds of posts on weight loss topics that are relevant to you.

 

I recently decided to expand the blog to include food because I decided to start cooking a bit. Therefore, I will talk about what to eat to lose weight including chicken breast recipes of course (every bodybuilder’s favorite), as well as at least one healthy vegetable soup recipe, and probably a lot more to follow.

 

If the fancy hits me, I may also cover weigh loss fallacies and methods which are unsafe, and unsustainable. There is no point in losing weight temporarily unless you are a bodybuilder preparing for a competition, or a sick person preparing for an operation. Therefore, I will focus on sustainable weight loss; teaching you how to naturally lose weight and keep it off.

 

Finally, my pen name (and not my real name) is Nicholas Giles because some of what I write and picture I post may not be appropriate for my young students, like the one below (a bit drunk in France with both a Champagne bottle in one hand and a watter bottle in the other!) . If I am no longer a teacher, I will likely share my identity and other projects with you. Thank you for understanding.

 

Come back often to see what new health posts I’ve made and always feel free to leave comments and share tips of your own! I look forward to continuing my improvement with you.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Nicholas Giles
