When I was a kid I was very afraid of becoming an adult. I believe the adults you are surrounded by as a child (and to be truthful in adulthood) will help shape who you become. A lot of the adults who surrounded me seemed to have let a piece of them die before the age of 30. Because of this I had a “live hard, die young” attitude. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

The response to my initial posting of Kevin’s transformation has been full of controversy and discussion. It begs the question of “why?” Why has the discussion of Kevin’s transformation spewed such criticism of not only methods but of the desire to change in the first place. Continue Reading…

Leigh Peele: Since I brought it up, can you go into what Assess and Correct is about? What purpose is it supposed to serve and who is it targeted for?

Mike Robertson: Assess and Correct takes you step-by-step through 27 assessments to determine what’s strong, what’s weak, what’s tight or possibly even too mobile.  As you go through the assessments, you jot down your results and note any tests you might have failed. Continue Reading…

Now that you have all these amazing recipes at your disposal I must warn you of the dangers ahead. That’s right, recipe overload.

When I was designing Body By Eats there was a reason I wanted to give 30 recipes at a time and not have a forum for posting recipes specifically. The main reason was because if you get too much of anything you can let it go to waste. I didn’t want that to happen. I know I have countless of recipe books sitting collecting mold.

The other reason was because it is hard to deny a recipe you really want to cook. I can’t tell you how many times I have opened up a book, saw a recipe, and said “oh, I have to make that right now!” A problem can occur when “right now” means “I don’t have any calories left for the day.” Next thing you know you are in the pits of a diet excuse. You know that place where you justify not hitting your numbers? Oh yeah, that place.

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…
