Eggs, butter, potatoes, & onions. That’s a typical ‘go-to’ breakfast for me when I want to lose a little fat. That’s right: lose, not ‘hold steady’ or gain. Typically the only things that make me gain fat are eating out repeatedly and/or consuming alcohol. If I want to gain muscle, then I just eat moreContinue reading “The Right Kinds Of Foods”

Really Small Steps
Read one page of that big chapter you’re working on. Make one tweak to the website you want to overhaul. Do one push-up before you go in the shower. Breathe deeply for one minute, or even one breath. Add one vegetable to one meal. When compared to thinking about how big your challenge is, andContinue reading “Really Small Steps”
Systems
If you’re highly productive then you most likely have systems. Systems enable you to do certain kinds of things … systematically. Specifically, there are certain kinds of things that happen all the time. Thus, if you have a system for dealing with them, then you don’t have to reinvent the wheel all the time.

‘This Looks Really Healthy …’

Just because these things are available now, doesn’t mean that you needed the before. You didn’t need anything in fancy packaging to be healthy before.Continue reading “‘This Looks Really Healthy …’”

ItContinue reading “Effort & Expectations”
Which Book?
The diet bookshelf is overwhelmingly packed with choices. So, which one should you get? My recommendation is: get as many as you want to read. Don’t treat any one of them as the holy Bible by default. If a certain book works really well for you, great! Just always know that you don’t have toContinue reading “Which Book?”
It’s Confusing
It, nutrition, certainly is confusing out there, because there is SO MUCH information flying at you from all directions. Some of the things I see & hear people doing or talking about with their nutrition baffle me. Not in a judgemental way; it’s just that I can tell they are confused, or worse, sometimes misled.Continue reading “It’s Confusing”
Don’t Eat Judgement
I grew up regularly eating McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, pizza, pasta, heroes, white bread, Chinese take-out, cereals, chips, cookies, microwaved macaroni & cheese, sodas, juices, and all of the other highly processed, highly refined, deadly foods & drinks the Standard American Diet is comprised of … and I loved them all. None of those areContinue reading “Don’t Eat Judgement”
