Inside the Obese Mind: Anatomy of a Relapse

June 13, 2015Gordweight-loss, writing7 Comments

I’m spreading Butro onto a corn cracker in rushed, trembling panic. It’s a finely poised balancing act. I have to achieve a relatively even coverage as quickly as humanly possible, but not so quickly that I break the fragile, compressed disc. If that happens, it will break my stride, preventing me from getting the cracker

This One Easy Thing Makes You Both Thinner and Smarter!

May 6, 2015Gordinsight, Op-ed, weight-loss

Unlike garbage clickbait with headlines just like this one, I’ve actually started doing something that is legitimately enjoyable, helps me to lose weight, and actually increases my intelligence. It’s extremely straight-forward and very easy to do, so I thought I’d share and see if I can help a few people out… Listening to Audiobooks has changed my

10 Weight-Loss Articles: The Mojodojo Archives, by Gord Laws

January 26, 2015Gordweight-loss, writing

Hi, I’m Gord. In 2009/10, I lost 67kg (147lb). These ten articles are my favourites from a period in my life (2011 mostly) when, having just lost all that weight, I was learning and experiencing a great deal every day. Writing was (and still is) my outlet for understanding, learning and trying to help others.

Gord Laws Archive: “King of the Fat Guys” (Men’s Health), 2013 PICA-Award Winner

August 24, 2014GordOp-ed, Portfolio, weight-loss, work, writing

When I lost more than 65kg in 14 months during 2009/10, the process was as intense emotionally as it was physically. When you’re talking about losing more than what many people weigh, you’re talking big changes. Men’s Health wanted the story from the perspective of what a (then) 28-year life is like in one body, and how

High-carb/Low-fat vs “Banting”: a Man Who Lost 67kg (147lb)’s Experience

January 7, 2014Gordweight-loss, writing6 Comments

Liz – one of the people whom I try to help with weight-loss motivation and information by sharing my trials and tribulations – mailed me to ask whether I think Tim Noakes’ low-carb/high-fat Paleo diet is a good idea for she and her husband. I thought I’d share my reply – and my experiences –

December 11, 2013Gordnews, Portfolio, weight-loss, work, writing

The annual Pica Awards (referred to, somewhat optimistically, by some, as “the Oscars of the SA Magazine Industry”) were held on November 14, 2013. I was very pleased to learn that I won first place in the “Best Health & Wellness feature” category for the “King of the Fat Guys” feature I wrote for Men’s

How FHM’s Captain Beer Lost 67kg (Gord Laws Archive: 2010)

August 4, 2013Gordweight-loss, writing

A lot of people ask me how I lost 67kg in 2009/10. These days, I’m very hesitant to “prescribe” diets. But, in May 2010, I wrote a feature article in FHM SA (RIP) detailing the exact specifics of the training and dieting regimen that got me from 158kg to 90kg in 14 months. For the full
