We know I am a little picky when it comes to professionals and recommendations. Over the course of my online writing gig I have recommended maybe 10 products all total and given 5 or 6 testimonials for another professional. I do this to help with the confusion out there for all my readers. How can they know what is right or what is wrong if every week they are getting told something new is going to solve their problems? If you will note my recommendations have been very consistent and fall in line with my beliefs and research. Continue Reading…

1. 1000 calories an hour my a** - You would have to burn a rate of 17 calories per minute for an entire hour to achieve a burn of 1000 calories an hour like commercials claim. Even in higher weight athletes I haven’t seen these type of numbers (and their conditioning would lead to  less expenditure anyway). Obviously an obese person would pass out or likely become very ill after even 10 minutes at this intensity rate.

Think about that the next time you see a commercial claiming even 500 calories a hour for their amazing workouts.

2.  Photo comparison fail – When you are doing weekly photo comparisons of your transformations make sure the comparison shots are the same size. If the after photo is a lot bigger you may look fatter when it isn’t even the case. You could get frustrated for no reason. Same outfit, same distance from camera, same size. Continue Reading…

Before you dive into this article I need you to put aside diet plans and strategy. This isn’t about the technical side of a diet. While having the right technical game can help with the mental game, at the end of the day this is a mind game and a mind f**k to be truthful. This whole process of getting the body you want can be boiled down to a simple test of will once you have the education.  So set aside carb cycling, fasting, or weight watcher points because I need you to face something much more complicated and scarier – your fear.

In cased you missed it…

Tom Venuto did an interview with me about the new book. It is by far my favorite interview done yet. This is a two part interview on his blog. In the interview (and comment sections) I cover a lot of  “taboo” topics. Obviously I am in a small minority about these topics in the fitness and health industry, but I feel it is important. Check it out and if you enjoy it give Tom a shout in the comments. Continue Reading…

Pair ‘em with our So Low Mein w/ Chicken or our guilt-free moo shu, and you’ve got a full-on feast from the East. Fortune cookies not included. Continue Reading…
