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.

My 5 Favorite Fruits

These are my 5 favorite fruits for clients while dieting. No they don’t have magic properties and no they are not the only ones you can eat.

🫐 BERRIES: They have insane macros and tons of antioxidants
🍎APPLES: They are high in fiber and ready to go, no mess
🥑AVOCADO: But make damn sure you buy the individual packets
🥝KIWI: This would be higher on my list because they’re f***ing delicious, but kinda messy
🍊ORANGES: Really good macros but again, messy, and I’m not as fanatical about the taste as I am about kiwi or berries.

You can fight me on this in the comments if you want. Tell me what your go-to fruits are.

80/20 rule: 80% of your food should be coming from single ingredient foods

Look, 80% of your food should be coming from single ingredient foods. Calories in calories out is essential for weight loss, also nutrient selection is vital for health. I prioritize things like fruits and vegetables in my diet because they have fiber. 🍓🥦 I work very hard to get avocado, olive oil, nuts and seeds in my diet because they help fight bad cholesterol. 🥑 I’m constantly having fatty fish to drive down my triglycerides. 🐟

This doesn’t mean that I don’t ever enjoy “not healthy” food. You might say, “Jake, there’s never an excuse to have processed food.” But f*** off because I know you’re drinking alcohol on the weekends, There’s room in your diet for things you enjoy and you can be perfectly happy if you enjoy things in moderation. Follow the 80/20 rule.

Atkins acquired Quest Nutrition in 2019

@atkinsnutritionals acquired @questnutrition in 2019. You can really tell when you bite into these Atkins protein chips. The macros are almost as good as the original Quest chips. I do find the taste of the Quest chips in general to be superior, however, the Atkins Chipotle BBQ chips are absolute fire.

The True Liver King Is Paul Saladino

The true Liver King is Paul Saladino. He is the brains behind selling 100 million dollars in beef liver enzymes. Brian Johnson is an actor who played a character that openly deceived consumers. Seed oil is the latest fad diet that both Paul and Brian have cashed in big on. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Fallacy of composition is the error of assuming that what is true of a member of a group is true for the group as a whole. Doritos, Oreos, many processed foods contain fats sometimes found from seed oil in order to preserve them longer. This does not mean that many of these fats are inherently bad. Openly lying to people to push a message you profit from is.⁣⁣

Sleep/Recovery

If you want to perform at your best, the harsh reality is you’re going to need 7-9 hours of sleep a night 😴 The minimum recommendation for an adult is 7 hours.

@khabib_nurmagomedov is arguably the 🐐 at mixed martial arts. He thinks part of what set him apart was his ability to recover from training, and sleep is what allowed him to recover.

Three things you need to do to improve your recovery:

1️⃣ Sleep more
2️⃣ Focus on nutrition
3️⃣ Manual therapy (but this is a distant 3rd)
