Christmas Isn’t a Day for Dieting

Dieting is about 340 days of the year, not 365. If I were to remove food from my life, it would be when no one is around. When I enjoy a cheat meal, it is either a unique experience or with loved ones.

I think the cardinal sin is eating your kids’ Fruit Roll Ups, not enjoying an amazing crème brûlée at dinner with your partner. It’s friday night and your family decides to order pizza, don’t be a jerk and tell everyone no. But you also don’t need to eat the entire goddamn pie by yourself.

Life is about enjoying special moments. So if you are celebrating this weekend, do it guilt free. And Monday morning get your a** back to the gym.

Ozempic and Keeping Up with the Kardashians

Ozempic is medication that originally was intended for diabetics. The drug has been around for 2 years but recently it’s blown up among celebrities and influencers. If you’ve been keeping up with the Kardashians they have clearly made a major shift in their image and I think Ozempic is behind it.

Ozempic may be a powerful tool for people who are dealing with obesity but if you desire is for a lean, toned body then it probably isn’t right for you. This drug breaks down both fat and muscle indiscriminately. Personally I don’t care about the Kardashians I just want to give you a brief pro and con about this powerful pharmaceutical drug.

It’s not “personal training” because I’m not your f***ing friend

It’s not “personal training” because I’m not your f***ing friend ❌

I have trained people for years and many of them I could not tell you their kids’ names. It’s not because I don’t care about them, it’s because when we’re in the gym it’s business. The way I show people I care is to get them the results they’ve always wanted.

Working out with the intention of changing your body requires a certain level of intensity, and it’s the kind of intensity that you can’t talk while performing a set. If you came up to one of my clients mid-way through a set, they wouldn’t be able to tell you their middle name. They’d have to look at you and say, “One second.” That’s what’s required to change your life.

Link in bio if you want to learn how to actually train.

Statistically, Americans gain weight in December

Americans traditionally gain weight during the holiday season. December is a particularly brutal month with the holidays and all the celebrating going on.

Peter lost 30lbs while working with me, even in the midst of one of the most joyous times of the year. Peter is both a client on @getverb as well as an in-person coaching client. I see multiple people come up to him and say “Geez, dude, you look so good,” and that’s gotta feel great when most of us are doing our best to survive until January.

If you’re ready to make a change in your life go to the link in bio.

Processed Food: any food that has undergone changes to its natural state

Processed food is technically defined as any food that has undergone changes to its natural state. That is any raw agricultural commodity subject to washing, cleaning, cutting, chopping, feeding, pasteurizing, heating, etc. Oftentimes processed food involves salt, sugar, or oil, in order to increase the longevity and package it.

But there are levels to this sh*t. Buying a vegetable medley that’s been chopped and seasoned for you would technically mean it’s “processed.” Doritos are also processed. That’s where common sense comes into play.

80% of your food should be coming from single-ingredient foods, and there’s room for some of your food to be coming from processed sources. Even foods like Oreos.

Can cheese be low calorie, high protein?

Can cheese have low calories and high protein ❓
Yes, in the year 2022 it can 🧀

Look for low fat or skim milk cheese products. I’ve seen it in cheddar, parmesan, mozzarella, and I think the offerings are going to continue to expand as America is becoming increasingly more health-conscious.

I have noticed some of these low fat cheeses taste a little plastic or fake. I happen to really enjoy this Kraft mozzarella in a quesadilla with a @missionfoodsus carb wrap, I like to mix it in an omelet as well.

Hike your kettlebell 🏈

Hike your kettlebell 🏈

Kettlebells are really awkward to initiate the swing. You’re leaning over and you’re having to start the momentum. Instead, get yourself to a three-point stance, throw the KB back between your legs as far back as possible, and simply stand up with it. In other words, hike your kettlebell.

Almond Butter vs. Peanut Butter

Almond butter vs. peanut butter. What’s the debate? They are both nut butters and both very nutritious. Almond butter has a slightly better vitamin and mineral panel with more fiber, whereas peanut butter has more protein. They basically both have the same calories and sugar.

Rather than focusing on perfection, look to sustainability. Which do you actually enjoy? Let me know in the comments. I for one am team peanut butter.
