The Manual You Were Never Given
Meet Your
Fat Friend.
I’m John. 54 years old, 396lbs, managing serious medical conditions — and on 1st October 2026 I’m starting again from scratch. Diarising it, blogging it, filming it. Every win, every plateau, every custard cream. Come and stand in the trenches with me.

No gimmicks. No preaching.
“I’m not a 25-year-old fitness model who lives on kale. I’m a bloke who knows exactly what it feels like to carry this weight — and exactly how to start climbing out from under it.”
— John Sault
Why This Exists
I’m not a coach. I’m a mate, standing shoulder to shoulder.
I’ve been up and down weight-wise all my life. In my forties I dropped 85lbs in nine weeks — then ill health put it back on, and then some. No preaching, no diet-industry gimmicks. Just real food, proper honesty, and a plan built around real life. If you want that custard cream, have it. It’s not over.
Real, Not Perfect
No kale, no four-hour gym sessions. Just an ordinary bloke managing real medical limits, documenting the whole thing — good weeks and bad.
The Body IQ Hub
Ten plain-speak modules on how your body actually works — calories, metabolism, the lot. Free to every member, forever.
Documented Weekly
Every week from 1st October 2026, diarised, blogged and filmed — so you can follow along and do it alongside me.
Your Body’s Owner’s Manual
You were handed the keys with no manual. The Body IQ Hub is that manual.
Ten modules, written in plain English, covering exactly how your metabolism works — no tests, no exams, just the facts, so you finally understand your own engine instead of guessing in the dark.

My story so far — the honest version
Carrots and Coriander
