ABOUT THE WORLD’S FITTEST BOOK This is taken from The World’s Fittest Book which is (unapologetically) different to most. Void of quick fixes, empty promises and magic pills. You won’t be given a training plan or diet guide to blindly follow. Instead the goal is to equip you with the principles of losing fat, building […]

The theory behind my morning shake is largely based on research from the International Journal of Sports Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism who stated… “Ultra-endurance exercise training places large energy demands on athletes and causes a high turnover of vitamins through sweat losses, metabolism, and the musculoskeletal repair process.

Depending on your choice of drink, those brewed liquid calories served at the bar could contain anywhere between 150 to 550 calories per pint (580 if you’re partial to a vintage cider).
