About

Hey! I’m Darran Mansfield, I’m a 25 year old guy from England; before I tell you more about myself I want to talk about FatboysDiet.com, what you can expect from it and how it can help you.

About Fatboys Diet

Fatboys Diet is dedicated to living a healthy, sustainable lifestyle in a simple and realistic way, no “quick fixes”, no “lose 7lb in 7 days”, no stupid hard sells, no massive sales pages, no crappy churned out content; you won’t find ANY of that here!

What you will find, is help with living a normal life with a touch of healthiness sprinkled. Life throws hundreds of situations at us day-in-day out- that simply get in the way, and make eating healthy near on impossible, but with a little simple know how I’m gonna show you how to handle all of these in the best possible way, for you and your health.

Every diet out there tells you what to do to lose weight, “eat healthy, do exercise & don’t eat fatty junk foods“, that’s great in an ideal world, but you and I both know that’s not what we live in now is it!

Spot the difference!

Spot the difference!

The thing I’ve come to realise is diet plans fail to tell you how to deal with everyday situations that are inevitable to happen; their non avoidable, like the birthdays, work functions, weddings, christenings, movies, pubs & clubs, restaurants, first dates, the list goes on and on all the way down to the ever familiar situation of running late and grabbing a takeaway because it’s too late and your just too tired to cook; that’s happened to you before, right?

What do you do in these situations? Cower away from them, live in an antisocial hole for the rest of your “skinny, healthy” life eating some lovely lettuce leaves! That life, if you can call it that might be for some people, but that’s certainly not the way I live, and I don’t think that’s the way you want to live deep down; if I’m right stick around, read a few of my articles I’m positive you’ll find them useful.

About Darran Mansfield

I’m gonna be honest with you, I’ve been trying to write this “about me” section for god knows how long, and every time I get something down it just doesn’t sound right so I end up scrapping it; so I decided to make a mini list of fun facts about me to help you get to know me a little better, that and it’ll finally get published!
