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 …
#35 Training Principles Pt.2: SPECIFICITY
Please note that even though the Training Principle Series is posted in the order of importance, in reality, the order of importance can vary depending on the context. We’ve all heard the saying, “something is better than nothing.” This quote can have various meanings depending on its context. The reason why I bring it …

#34 Impossible (What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt. 6)
We are so obsessed with this idea of perfection. The perfect house. The perfect job/career. The perfect diet. The perfect life. It all sounds amazing. However, what does that even mean? We all have these goals, some small, some grand, some short-term, some long-term. As a coach, I've seen goals from clients, colleagues, and even myself …

#32 Training Principles Pt.1
So, after writing out the Fundamental Nutrition Principles series, I thought I needed to write the fundamental principles of training as well. The interesting thing is there seem to be many different ways to approach this topic while the nutrition principle was much more straightforward. The first principle I wanted to start off with isn't …
#30 What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt. 5

I can't even count how many times I've heard statements like "that trainer sucks," "that exercise/equipment is pointless," "that certification/coach is terrible," or something in the realm.

#29 What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt.4
"Rule #1: no pissing, no moaning!" Coach Charles Poliquin's favorite rule. I first heard him say this in 2012 at one of his seminars.

#27 Quote of the Week (7)
"Sooner or later, health will become your number one concern," Paul Chek There's not much I can add to this quote. Even if you aren't thinking about your health now, at some point, you'll definitely think about your health. I hope this can put things into perspective, and perhaps rather than letting health become your …
#21 Nutrition Principles Pt. 2
Rather than just blabbering on with the science, I wanted to try a different approach in order for the readers to relate and understand the topic better. Meet Billy. He is trying to lose weight. On his last doctor’s visit, he was told that he is overweight and should go on a diet. He has …
#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 …
