About

My name is Matt Straight. Born in England, raised in New Zealand, three years in the Philippines, one year in India and now residing in Australia. Some call me a country slut. And that doesn’t mean that I listen to Billy Ray Cyrus and get around. I love to travel and I love the Fitness Industry.

I was one of those fat kids at school that the “Cool” Kids just loved to tease. Despite the fact that I would joke about my weight in an attempt to deflect the vicious comments, the truth was, those comments would cut deep enough to carve a path that would lead me to a life of health and fitness. One day, I just decided that I had had enough of hiding my body and feeling self conscious. I decided to learn how my body works and how to trick it into letting go of unwanted body fat. In 1999 I started working in a corporate gym in Auckland New Zealand and started my journey into the fitness industry.

After thirteen years in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, nutritionist, group exercise instructor, fitness educator, body builder and international health club manager, I have prescribed exercise and nutrition to hundreds of people in five different countries.

I would never prescribe a style of diet unless it 1. Made sense and 2. I had tried it myself first. Only once I understood the effects and the effectiveness of the diet and made sure that it would be suitable for my client, would I then recommend it.

We all know the difficulties associated with weight loss and keeping it off. I am  a firm believer that if the dieter understands how their body works and the reasons why we gain and lose weight, they have a much better chance of sticking to the plan and achieving success. Sometimes I think people have become resigned to thinking that weight loss is just a “lucky break”, a coincidence or only for those who are genetically gifted.

Everything that happens in our bodies, happens for a logical reason and there is a  STRAIGHT FORWARD answer for everything that happens within us.

Far too many people needlessly suffer from the negative effects and major frustrations associated with being overweight. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of helping hundreds of people get their weight under control and their lives back in order. Unfortunately as the years moved on, I too have moved on from place to place.

With this blog, my aim is to help as many people I can from all over the world by providing lasting information that will educate readers to take back control of their bodies.

With knowledge, comes power! Learn the many Straight Forward ways to lose weight and keep it off.

Yours in Health,

Matt
