Where to Start...

Now that you're convinced to get started at living life better. How do I start? Do I start a detox? A cleanse? Or what about one of those diets like Isagenix, HerbaLife, or Shakeology?

I don't. And neither should you.

Seriously. Listen Up.

The problem: Every single one of you has the best intentions to better your health and performance. However, most of you are pounded left and right with shit from the corporate world.

The corporate world is after one thing only. Money. YOUR money. That don't give two shits what they throw at you. They'll create some fucking powder, pill, injection, surgery, or starve you to death. Pay thousands to millions to name it ToxicDeathMax 5000.

"SHREDS FAT." "GETS YOU JACKED."

Which sounds to me more like:

"PEE FUNNY COLORS"

"SHIT YOUR BRAINS OUT FOR A MONTH"

"STRAND YOURSELF ON A DESERTED ISLAND WITHOUT FOOD BUT BUY AND USE THIS POWDER."

Yes, you may have lost some fat doing some over advertised shit product. Every product, whether a preset program everyone follows or a scoop of death a day per the directions, is temporary.  

Do you think any company selling a product is going to give you something that delivers life long, lasting, results?

No. It's all temporary. So, yes, you may get immediate results, but you'll likely repurchase or try some other designed powder for the same exact thing, temporary results.

The solution: Every single one of you is so overwhelmed by the advertising, marketing ploys, and what your friends tell you. You fail to believe the science.

The science is says...

Eat food.

Lift free weights.

Be more active than inactive.

To be clear. Start simple. Baby steps. One at a time. Two if your ambitious. And build from there.

Most people will benefit from simply eating more lean protein. I mean adequate amounts. Getting active, dudes should look for 40-60 grams and ladies are more like 20-30 grams, of lean protein per meal.

Example: My lifting and activity levels require 1.8 grams per pound of body weight. At 196 pounds, I'm looking at roughly 350 grams of protein in a day. That's SEVEN meals a day with 50 grams of protein on each plate. 

That's to maintain. Not lose. Not gain. Main.Tain.

If that many meals, or that load of protein isn't realistic for you. Quit your excuses and find something else realistic for YOU. Most people...need to grab a peice of steel and learn to lift.

Find. A. Professional.
