  • YOU NEED OZEMPIC?
    Mar 25 2026

    I've got 5 days of completely free coaching waiting for you: tinyurl.com/kickstarter26

    Everyone's on Ozempic.
    Your mate, your colleague, half of Instagram.
    And if you're doing the actual work - tracking food, training, being patient - you're probably wondering if you're stupid for not taking the shortcut.
    Let me be clear: Ozempic is NOT the answer. It's an expensive, side-effect-ridden temporary fix that doesn't teach you anything, makes you lose muscle, and stops working the second you stop paying £300/month for it. In this episode, I break down exactly why Ozempic fails long-term, who the 5% of people are who should actually use it, and what you should do instead if you're serious about losing weight and keeping it off. No shortcuts.

  • HOW TO FEED YOUR FAMILY [NUTRITIOUS & QUICK]
    Mar 18 2026

    FOR FIVE DAYS OF COMPLETELY FREE COACHING HEAD TOO: Tinyurl.com/kickstarter26

    Trying to feed your family healthy food without spending hours in the kitchen or a fortune at Tesco? You're not alone.

    I'm Paul Evans, registered nutritionist (MSc, RNutr), and in this episode of No Forking Nonsense I'm giving you practical, realistic advice on how to feed your family properly without it being another full-time job.


    In this episode:

    • Why family nutrition is so hard (and why it's not your fault)
    • The one meal rule: how to stop cooking multiple dinners every night
    • Batch cooking that actually works for busy parents (3 meals, not 14)
    • How to get kids to eat vegetables (the actual science, not Instagram tricks)
    • Budget-friendly family meals that don't cost a fortune
    • Why you should stop hiding veg and what to do instead
    • Simple meal ideas your family will actually eat for under £1.50 per portion
    • What to do when your partner eats differently to you
    • Quick wins you can implement this week

    I reference multiple studies including research from Penn State University on vegetable acceptance, University College London on food exposure frequency (kids need to see a food 10-15 times before trying it), and evidence on why cooking one family meal reduces picky eating.

    This isn't perfect-parent Instagram nonsense. This is real advice for real families who are time-poor, budget-conscious, and just trying to get dinner on the table without everyone losing it.

    If you're a parent who feels guilty about fish fingers on a Wednesday, this episode is for you.

  • SHOULD YOU CUT CARBS TO LOSE WEIGHT?
    Mar 11 2026

    tinyurl.com/kickstarter26

    Think carbs are making you fat? Think you're intolerant to bread and pasta? Think cutting carbs is the answer?

    You're probably wrong on all three.

    I'm Paul Evans, registered nutritionist (MSc, RNutr), and in this episode of No Forking Nonsense I'm breaking down the biggest carb myths in the diet industry.

    In this episode:

    • Why that initial weight loss on low-carb diets isn't fat (it's water and glycogen)
    • What actually happens to your body when you cut carbs long term (spoiler: it's not good)
    • The real reason carbs don't make you fat (portion sizes and food combinations do)
    • Why you feel bloated after pasta (and why it's not a wheat intolerance)
    • The water retention problem nobody talks about (and how to fix it)
    • Why 93% of people who think they're gluten intolerant aren't
    • The portion size problem: why restaurant pasta servings are 3x what you should eat
    • How to actually eat carbs properly without bloating or gaining weight

    I reference the DIETFITS trial showing low-carb and low-fat diets produce identical weight loss, and a 2018 study proving most "gluten sensitivity" is actually portion size and placebo effect.

    This isn't anti-keto propaganda. This is evidence-based information about how your body actually works with carbohydrates - and why cutting them out completely is unnecessary for 99% of people.

    If you've been scared of bread, pasta, or rice - this episode will change how you think about carbs forever.
