Key Quote

“You can eat a 1,000-calorie milkshake, and two hours later you’re like, ‘I could eat something.’ But if I stick 14 eggs in front of you and tell you to eat them all, you probably won’t eat till tomorrow.”

— Craig Emmerich

Craig’s Top Tips

Go back to whole foods — no matter which specific way of eating you follow, this alone helps most people.

Move more, even outside the gym — small movement throughout the day (NEAT) adds up more than most people realise.

Get outside — fresh air, sunlight, and vitamin D matter more than people give them credit for.

Matthew Caruana

 Matthew built a career in professional cookery, becoming a Head Chef and working internationally. A serious motorbike accident in 2016 pushed him to take control of his health, leading to an eight and a half stone weight loss through a ketogenic diet. He began creating and sharing keto desserts, which grew into a following and a recipe book. After losing his job in 2020, he turned that passion into a business, becoming the UK’s first artisan keto chocolatier and going on to win multiple awards.

Key Quote

“I definitely feel depression from eating carbs, which is a crazy thing to say. I feel so much more sluggish and, you know… when you actually put the carbs back in, you feel so much worse, physically and mentally.”

— Matthew Caruana

Matthew’s Top Tips

    Get a proper night’s sleep. It’s free, and it’s one of the biggest things that helps with impulse control around food.

    Remove the treats from your house. If there’s friction between you and the bad stuff (having to get in the car and drive to the shop, for example), you’re far less likely to break.

    Don’t punish yourself if you slip up. If you get carbed, go to bed, and the next day draw a line under it. Beating yourself up just spirals into eating more sugary things.

Everyone Deserves Dessert — available exclusively via Matthew’s website (not on Amazon).
