Not long ago, I shared some basic insights on Intermittent Fasting. With this post, I wanted to share my current experience with fasting as I'm entering into my 42nd hour of not consuming food! It may be surprising but I actually feel pretty good right now. I would say the overall energy may be down …
#42 Keto
Have you ever tried a diet because you've been hearing about it everywhere? How about this BEST exercise? Perhaps this "super-food"? I want to talk about KETO, the ketogenic diet since this is one of hottest things to do in the health & fitness world. First of all, what is keto? Let's go over the …
#41 Back to the Basics (What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt. 8)
In my years as a trainer & coach, the greatest lesson of them all may be the importance of the fundamentals/basics. Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, said “Why do you think I’m the best player in the world? Because I never ever get bored with the basics.” He was known as …

#38 Intermittent Fasting
No one food is good or bad. No one meal will make you fat. No one diet is the best diet. Such absolutist thinking is the reason why we are constantly told to eat a certain food or follow this diet in order to “get shredded in 6-weeks!” Unfortunately, fasting, more specifically Intermittent Fasting (IF), has …

Okay, so I wanted to start sharing some of the fundamental principles of nutrition the next few weeks. Keep in mind that these principles are concepts that I hope everyone will get familiar with, if not already, and will always consider when trying to lose or gain weight, build muscle, and beyond. The first principle, …
#11 Priority
I've been diving in heavily into relearning and reorganization of the fundamental principles of training and nutrition in order to be able to provide the most balanced explanation, simple yet unify all the principles. Einstein said, "if you can't explain it simply you don't know well enough," and I plan on doing just that. I …
#6 Consistency
No one food is going to make you healthy nor no one food is going to make you unhealthy. It's about the average of your choices over time. Consistency will ultimately drive your success. Don't be discouraged by one night of indulgence. Don't look for the magic pill or food either. Be consistent as possible so that …
