Sensible and easy to follow advice

Karl knows what he’s talking about, nothing out of the ordinary that we all don’t know about. Listening to his podcasts helps my motivation after a 3 and a half stone weight loss. It was difficult but it’s also hard to maintain. Fell off the wagon during the summer but getting back on track from today.
It’s about the balance which I love and still having fun, food is to enjoy not to endure diet food. Well done Karl , your doing a great job 👏
