In this series, we introduce a writer briefly and provide a list of chosen stories. The purpose of this post is to provide sample stories of an experienced writer, Rob Hourmont.

A Brief Background of Rob Hourmont
Rob Hourmont is a Top Writer on Medium in Food, Health, Life, Life Lessons, and Self-Improvement topics. His passion is health, nutrition, and fitness. Rob has been writing professionally about his passions since 2019.
Rob is a former World Cup and Olympic Ski Racer from the United Kingdom. He was the youngest British Senior Slalom Champion in 1985 at age 15.
As a certified nutritionist, he dismantles the food industry for what it is, making people unhealthy and overweight. He discusses the no-nonsense truth on health, food, fitness, lifestyle, and wellness.
Working out, losing weight, and becoming fit is something everyone can do. So, Rob shows how easy it is with his simplistic yet highly efficient and effective nutritional plans and workout methods.
During 2018 and 2019, Rob traveled to Bali, Indonesia, where he continued experimenting with food and exercise and created his unique movement routines. During this time, Rob studied and completed his online MBA (Master of Business Administration) from The University of Cumbria, UK.
Using his methods, Rob has personally coached over 300 clients to lose weight, gain lean muscle, and rebuild confidence and a positive mindset.
Rob also authored E-Books such as The Ultimate Guide to Weight Loss, Fitness, and Health and The Ultimate Bodyweight Workout Bible. You can find all of Rob’s workouts in his articles on his website.
As a prolific writer, Rob posted many stories to Illumination Integrated Publications and other publications on Medium. In addition, he serves our publications as a volunteer editor, reviewing and publishing many stories of other writers daily.

5 — Fifteen Thousand Steps A Day Keeps The Doctor Away!
Walking is one of the most underrated yet highly effective ways to exercise your body and mind and burn fat while building stronger bones, joints, and organs and a positive mindset. Walk at least 10000 steps daily in one or multiple walks, and reap the vast health benefits.
6 — Your Body and Brain Do Not Need Whole Grains, Carbohydrates, And Fiber — Stop Believing The Scams
Here’s what Rob told us about this trending story:
“My “no need for grains, carbs, or fiber for optimal metabolic health caused a stir among the carbs and sugar addicts. Many argued that I was talking nonsense, and one person even called me a “fake nutritionist” and a “Liar!”
I’m neither. What I am is a realist and modern nutritionist with over seven years of practice with myself and my clients, and I have nothing but excellent results to prove it.
Some say my evidence is “anecdotal” and doesn’t count because it’s not real science.
I’m sorry, but nay-sayers are wrong — what people look for is professionals like me who show multiple fantastic cases of results — not a science paper written by a university student!”
7 — The Gym Fanatics Don’t “Get” Why I Only Walk And Work Out In Nature — They Are Self-Obsessed And…
In this story, Rob explains why he only works out in nature. He thinks that the gym isn’t the healthiest environment to exercise — “gym fanatics” are overtraining and stressing their hearts daily. That’s not the route to longevity.

He urges us not to wait until it’s too late — his eight practical steps are easy to follow and will help protect your cognitive health.
9 — Eating Red Meat Poses No Health Dangers — They’ve Lied To You For Decades, Pushing Toxic Sugar And…
Rob informs us that “for decades, we’ve been told lies by government health agencies, doctors and nutritionists, and food companies that meat, especially red meat, is pro-inflammatory and unhealthy, putting us at risk of developing cancer or suffering a heart attack. Now it’s official — none of that is true. On the contrary, red meat is super healthy for you, an essential nutrient and anti-inflammatory.”
10 — My Girlfriend of 28 Says, “I’m A Stallion And Rock Star In Bed” — I’m 53 — It’s Not About Money — …
In this relationship story, Rob points out that age is not a factor as long as you and your partner have genuine chemistry, love each other, and are open and honest. He believes that if you eat right, exercise regularly, and enjoy the sun; you can stay fresh and young for a very long! There’s no need to age like sour milk!
