Survival Mode?
By · CommentsYeah my blog has seemed like it’s dying. Sorry. Life’s been crazy and I’ve been in survival mode since starting the Academy. Lots of ideas but no time. 7 more weeks to go at the Academy and then things should pick back up. I promise. Thanks for hanging in there…
The fresher the food, the better…
By · CommentsOne goal with eating is to try to stop eating so many processed foods. If it comes in a box (from the grocery store) it’s most likely processed. The fresher the food, the better.
Try to stick to the outside aisles as much as possible in the grocery store. Think about it the things that are located here: mainly fruits and veggies, meat, eggs, dairy, soy milk, etc. are on the outside. Walking the inner aisles is too much temptation for you so stay away. Remember your body needs good fuel and the fresher the food, the better so make wise choices!
Fast Food Fat Loss Failure
By · CommentsBack in the nineties Fast Food companies tried to change. They tried coming out with lighter and lower fat versions of their sandwiches and tacos and everything else. Know what happened?
The “healthier” versions on their menus failed miserably. And I mean miserably. They were all pulled and replaced by newer options that were bigger, fattier and more calorie laden than ever before.
Seriously, they stopped pulling punches and did what any smart business should: They gave people what they wanted. And in the case of Fast Food companies that meant adding as much mayo, bacon, cheese and beef as they possibly could. That’s when we started seeing the Triple Burgers and Mega Burgers and tacos wrapped in melted cheese stuck to yet another taco.And people were more than happy to gobble them all right up.
I believe, fortunately, that we’ve come to a point where people have realized that it’s all just too much. To some extent people are waking up and realizing that they cannot afford to get sick. They cannot afford to eat garbage all the time. They are understanding it WILL catch up to them.
Kentucky Fried Chicken has been in the news lately because they are trying a new Kentucky GRILLED Chicken. Supposedly it tastes as good as their fried version. Now I don’t know if it does or doesn’t. And to be honest, I don’t much care. You see, the fact of the matter is when people go to Fast Food restaurants and order something “healthier” like grilled chicken they typically off set it by eating every french fry in sight. Or drinking a 64oz cola.
There are better choices to be made. And if you plan your day you won’t be in a position where you have to gobble a meal down at KFC, McDonald’s or Burger King.
Things like:
- Low fat cottage cheese
- Hard boiled eggs
- Fresh fruit and veggies
- Raw almonds
You could also go with Prograde Cravers or Prograde Lean. Cravers are the best tasting healthy snack bar on the planet and Lean is their delicious chocolate meal replacement shake which are both currently on sale now (see below). But hurry because it ends tomorrow night!
Look, the bottom line is simple: A little bit of planning and some smart food choices go a long way to getting that flat stomach you’re looking for.

Fact or Myth? Snacking causes weight gain.
By · CommentsThis is actually a myth. It is true that eating unhealthy snacks (junk food) all day long can definitely cause weight gain. But if done right, eating snacks throughout the day will actually keep your metabolism going strong as well as help you avoid overeating at meals. That means more calories burned and less calories consumed - a win.
So plan ahead and choose the “healthy” snacks you’re going to eat each day or week. Remember “Failing to plan is planning to fail!” If you don’t plan ahead, you’ll be at the mercy of the vending machine and candy dish which is NOT GOOD for your fat loss goals. Try to include a lean protein, fruit and/or vegetable or something not processed.
