A VERY simple and easy fat loss recipe
Grocery Shopping and The Sunday Ritual
September 17, 2010 By 3 Comments
The key difference maker in whether or not someone likes how they look in the nude is nutrition.
More specifically, to really nail the nutritional component, it takes proper meal planning and preparation each and every week… NO EXCEPTIONS!
Look, I know you’re busy… we all are!
So I thought I’d share our weekly grocery list and Sunday ritual to help you jump-start your success for this upcoming week.
But before I do, let me first make a quick confession…
I AM A FOOD AND RESTAURANT ADDICT!!
For years we have wasted tons of money on eating out because we were too lazy to plan and prepare most of our meals for the week.
We still eat in a compliant manner at restaurants via the protein, produce, and water protocol, but the mark-up on food at restaurants is insane and it really adds up over the course of a week,··· Read the rest

1.) Apollo Cafe on Brady Street

I love to get the Athenian chicken with salad and the Mediterranean chicken salad. The chicken is soaked in greek yogurt for a really tender taste. This is definitely one of my go to meals on a run and it’s also nice to be able to eat outside with our dogs on a Brady Street when it’s a nice, sunny day.
2.) Jimmy Johns
Bread is basically a meat holder for a sandwich and we could all go without the extra starch for a leaner midsection. I like unwiches (lettuce wrap sandwiches) and I usually get Turkey Tom Unwich with an extra load of meat, avocado,··· Read the rest

For years now we’ve been hearing horror stories about how many pesticides are in our fruits and veggies these days.
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) “As acknowledged by U.S. and international government agencies, different pesticides have been linked to a variety of health problems, including:
Nervous system toxicity
Cancer
Hormone system effects
Skin, eye and lung irritation
Pesticides are unique among the chemicals we release into the environment. They are designed to kill living organisms — insects, plants, and fungi that are considered “pests.” Because they are toxic by design, many pesticides pose health dangers to people, risks that have been established by independent research scientists and physicians across the world.”
In addition the EWG claims “You can lower your pesticide consumption by nearly four-fifths by avoiding the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables and instead eating the least contaminated produce, according to EWG calculations. When you eat··· Read the rest
Sugar by Another Name

In general, if you want to be lean and healthy you need to avoid all foods with ADDED SUGAR in them.
Added sugar spikes insulin which both blunts fat-burning and leads to unwanted fat-storage.
Most foods (even some protein and veggie sources) have some natural sugars in them as demonstrated in the nutrition facts.
However, the way to determine if sugar has been added to any food item is by reading the “ingredients list” below the nutrition facts.
In addition, the ingredients are listed in order of greatest to least concentration, so you really want to avoid foods that have “sugar” listen within the first 3 ingredients.
When reading food labels, it’s easy to be misled about whether or not a particular food item has sugar in it, especially since food manufacturers have cleverly created many different forms of sugar by another name.
Please reference the list below to prevent··· Read the rest
Mobility and Activation

30-10 Mobility and Activation Circuit for a Better Workout
Mobility describes the ability of a joint, or a series of joints, to move through an ideal range of motion. Though mobility relies on flexibility, it requires an additional strength, stability, and neuromuscular control component to allow for proper movement. Activation is often paired with mobility because many mobility exercises activate key, and often dormant, pillar stabilizers in your hips, core, and shoulders.
There is also a bit of a gray zone between flexibility and mobility. The best way I can describe the difference between the two is that flexibility is a lower intensity version of mobility that does NOT require mobility (or you can say that mobility is a higher intensity version of flexibility that involves stability).
For example, a split kneeling hip flexor stretch focuses on getting enough motion at the hip to allow for a full, pain-free range··· Read the rest
