Hi everyone

I have a great pod-cast for you to listen to. Here I am interviewing World Number One Snooker player, Ronnie O'Sullivan.

I spent two years working with Ronnie and it was some of the most rewarding work I have done to date. Ronnie is nicknamed "The Rocket" due to his rapid playing style. He has been world champion on three occasions and is considered by many fans, critics and fellow professionals as the most naturally talented player in the history of the game.

In this interview we discuss Ronnie's approach to health fitness and weight loss and also discuss the components it takes to be successful and a winner in what ever you do.

Please let us know what you think of this pod-cast and if you find it useful. I will personally pass on any comment to Ronnie

I have recently returned from a trip to the deep South of the United States, visiting Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. I know America gets bad press these days but I am a big fan. However, they really love food,  portion sizes are massive and fast food outlets are everywhere.

It’s funny how our lives have changed and how years ago people used to hunt to live and survive. This obviously involved blood, sweat and tears. These days, especially in the states people hunt in their cars and there is drive-in everything, drive-in fast food, drive-in pharmacies, drive-in banks, drive-in supermarkets. In fact people don’t really have to move these days because if you don’t go out hunting in your car someone will bring everything to you.

I couldn’t believe how many overweight people I saw, people of all ages and backgrounds. It’s such a big problem and I am sure we are catching up with our American cousins as us Brits’ waist lines are ever expanding.

In fact, in the plane on the way home I read in a recent survey that almost three-quarters of Britons believe they are overweight and have vowed to start a health campaign in the New Year. This got me wondering as to just how many of these vows will result in success.

Despite almost 70 percent of Britons saying they want to get healthy, experts said other evidence into people's behaviour suggests that repeated warnings about the dangers of obesity is falling on deaf ears.

Perhaps this is highlighted by McDonalds who recently revealed it had recorded growth rates close to their peak of the 1980s -- with 88 million visits to its outlets in the UK last month alone!

It is estimated that obesity causes 9,000 premature deaths each year in England and costs the NHS about one billion pounds annually.

A recent government study predicted that half the population could be obese within 25 years and Colin Waine, chairman of the National Obesity Forum charity, said the country's obesity crisis was "quite dire".

While it appears people want to tackle obesity, evidence such as the sales figures revealed by McDonalds, paints a markedly different picture.

The government is desperate to do something about this situation and in October, they unveiled a strategy where parents of severely overweight children may be sent letters warning them of the health dangers involved.

Do you think this will make any difference? I am not sure but I know that my weight loss programme is making a difference to many people.

The following is from Sue one of our many success stories:

"I am now 4 stone lighter, and have made the most incredible lifestyle changes since joining back in June"

Hi all,

Here's a little something you might like to see... It's The Phillips vs The Mitchells in the first full-episode (5 parts) of Fat Chance, a series that I was involved in back in 2003. Wait till you see what these families were doing and eating before myself and Jane DeVille-Almond got hold of them!

You can watch the whole episode on petecohen.com:

P.S I'm putting loads more clips up from my TV work over the next few months - so stay tuned.

I am on TV this Sunday morning talking about men having mid life crises early. The programme is on at 10am on Sunday on BBC1 called Sunday Life.

MID-THIRTIES CRISIS DRIVES UK’S MEN TO LIFE COACHES, SELF-HELP BOOKS AND YOGA
Some men are spending up to £2,000 on self-improvement.

PRESSURE to compete with the boys is leading British men to spend on average up to £2,000 on life coaches and self-help books to get them through an early ‘Bloke Breakdown’, a study reveals today.

Three in four (72%) men say they now feel expected to achieve more at a younger age, and over half (57%) feel pressure to keep their looks – meaning the 40s mid-life crisis is now being replaced with ‘Bloke Breakdowns’ amongst thirtysomethings.

But according to a recent study, career sabbaticals (56%), yoga (39%) and self-help books (35%) have overtaken sports cars and shiny shirts as the hallmarks of a male crisis.

Seven in ten (71%) men claim life crises are hitting earlier than ever, with over half (51%) identifying the thirties as today’s crunch point – and comparing themselves against high-achieving friends (53%) and ever younger celebrities (20%) contributes.
