Ben Carpenter

Ben Carpenter has been a personal trainer since 2006 and has worked with a diverse range of clients ranging from young athletes training to be fitness models to elderly people who are just trying their best to live a bit longer. Over time, he shifted his focus towards specialising on the most common goal that his clients strived for, losing body fat. He realised that if he truly wanted to help as many people as possible, he needed to step away from one-to-one clients only and turn towards social media to reach a larger audience. He has been posting social media content since 2009, answering as many of your questions as possible, completely free of charge, and his videos are now seen by millions of people every single week. His goal is simple: help you as his metaphorical client. Whether that’s navigating the minefield of misinformation that the weight loss industry is rife with – like quick fix fad diets that are being endorsed by whichever celebrity is being paid the most – or providing you with simplified summaries of the latest research papers. He is a self-confessed ‘research nerd’. He isn’t a scientist working behind the scenes to publish research papers. He is a personal trainer that has devoted his entire adult life helping his clients and social media followers get the best results possible. It isn’t just about being up to date on the latest scientific research, but actually helping you put this information into practice. In Everything Fat Loss, Ben is your own personal trainer. He isn’t giving you a cookie-cutter one-size-fits-all plan, he is helping you make the best decisions for your own personal circumstances. From identifying your motivation to lose body fat in the first place – and if this is even the right path for you – to the challenges you may face as an individual in your fat loss journey, to what diet might suit you best and tips to help you achieve long-term success. Ben gives you all the information you need to formulate a plan of action personalised to you. Ben was born in the UK but now lives in California with his wife. You can find him on various social media platforms (@bdccarpenter), and at www.bdccarpenter.com.
