The No Sugar Diet What is it? Good question! Just like a lot of these fad diets out there, it’s hard to say what the exact definition is. Some people eliminate ALL sugar (or so they think), even from fruit, some associate a no sugar diet with keto, and some...
Today I’m sharing my day of eating during my most recent fitness competition to show some ideas of foods to eat to keep you fueled. Different types of athletes have different types of needs for competition day. This type of eating would be good for those that participate in multiple events over the course of the day like a tournament or other instances of intermittent activity over 6-8 hours.
The first thing that probably comes to mind when you think about asking someone for help related to nutrition is weight loss. That is true, I can definitely help if you need to shed some extra pounds, however, my skill set expands much further than that. On the other end of the spectrum, there are those that wish to GAIN weight and have trouble doing so. I’m going to assume that when it comes to weight gain, most of us would like to gain muscle over anything, and there are specific strategies to do just that.
The most obvious way to promote weight gain is to simply eat continuously. Unfortunately, that has the potential to make us feel incredibly uncomfortable and probably leads to more fat than muscle gain. We should be shooting for at least 500 calories more than we’re burning each day. This can provide a modest calorie increase without making us feel too miserable.
Did you know that one of the most important things you can do to help your body recover from exercise is to eat the right foods? With proper post-workout nutrition, you can replenish the energy you’ve used as well as promote muscle building.
Chronic diseases are among the most preventable of disease, yet account for 70% of deaths among Americans each year. The cost of chronic disease far exceeds normal health costs, so why are we not prioritizing our health?
So the new tagline for the website and my brand is “Fueling every level of athlete.” So who is an athlete?
Last weekend, I participated in a @lex_artis competition. Just three months before this, almost exactly, I was having surgery to place a plate and screws to fix a broken wrist. I scaled many of the movements, but definitely did more of the movements than I thought I would be capable of by this time.
Overall, I’ve been learning a lot from this experience.
I think you will agree with me when I say there is a TON of noise coming from all different directions in the health, fitness, and nutrition space. It can be difficult to decide what to listen to and what advice to take. Who should you listen to, what program should you try, what products should you buy?!
From my experience with clients and what they tell me as well as my own personal experiences there I’ve felt the need to try to clear some things up and share some of my feelings about who we should be trusting in the areas of health and fitness.
It can get a tad bit annoying when I hear people talk about how they choose not participate in physical activity. There’s a never-ending list of excuses: I don’t need to lose weight, I don’t have time, I don’t want to look muscle-y, or they just don’t think it’s going to benefit them.
Like seriously?! You think you don’t need this in your life?! Well, I’m about to tell you why EVERYONE needs to be physically active.
This is an addition to a post from two years ago. The first post I did wanted to take a step back from the science and the statistics and scale that back to make it personal; letting you know how exercise may directly impact you. The first ten reasons can be found here with few added notes and then the additional points below those.
Hello and hey, it’s FRIDAY!
AND less than a week away from Turkey Day!
I tend to save all of my workouts on OneNote on my phone, makes it REAL easy if I want to be lazy and not come up with something to do either at home or at the gym for the day. Here’s a workout I pulled out from January of this year, put it to use again this Tuesday morning and figured I may as well share it!
This is a Tabata-inspired workout, but rather than the typical 20-second work intervals we’re doing 30 seconds. 🙂 I love high-intensity work. It’s a great metabolism booster, plus this workout only takes about 30 minutes! Get a good sweat to burn off that extra dessert you’re going to have at dinner Thursday! 😉
