Should you count your carbs?

By: 0

 Should you count your carbs? As with everything we discuss the answer is always… it depends.
 
What does it depend on? It depends on your goals.
 
Well, let’s start with a plain fact. The average American eats 300-400g of carbs a day from refined carbs while leading a sedentary lifestyle. That’s an insane amount of carbohydrates from poor sources with not enough exercise.So, that’s the high end.
 
The low end would be something like the ketogenic diet which typically goes below 25-50g of carbs a day.
 
The middle ground, for most people being between 75-150g of healthy carbs from vegetables and fruits is a good place to start.
 
When might it be a good idea to count your carbs:
-You’re eating good quality food already, and you hit a weight loss plateau
-You’re a hard charging athlete
-You are trying to achieve a particular body composition (six pack, fitness competition, etc.)
 
When do you not need to count your carbs for most people:
-You’re just starting to eat healthy, focus on food quality
-If eating non-starchy vegetables (brussels sprouts, spinach, celery)
-If eating foods with more fiber than sugar (i.e., low net carbs)

Tim’s Story-Getting to 7% body fat eating 2800 calories a day

By: 0

In this video we sit down with Tim to talk about his one-on-one nutrition coaching journey. Tim’s story is super interesting from a number of different perspectives. Unlike most people I work with when they start:

-Tim was already pretty lean when we started working together
-He was pretty disciplined with his food before we met.
-His food was mostly real whole food before we met.

And yet he was still able to accomplish a tremendous amount during the 3 months we worked together just by making some dietary tweaks. He accomplished the following in 3 months:

-Tim lost about 25lbs. He went from 218lbs to 192lbs
-He lost 3.5inches off his waist
-By the end of the program he was 7% body fat.
-He didn’t restrict calories at all. In fact, he was eating 2800 calories a day most days.
-By the end of program Tim had achieved a body weight snatch in the gym, which for anyone who knows anything about weightlifting is a major accomplishment.
-He didn’t think it would be easy to give up the foods he did, but it ended up being pretty easy and he enjoyed the food.
-He was very fatigued when we started working together, but now with eating this way he has a ton of energy.

Congrats on all your progress Tim, we’re super proud of you!

Notes:
A. Build over the course of the 8 sets to find a heavy max for the day.
B. Start heavy with both the farmers walk and shoulder to overhead – you can take weight off but you can’t add it back on.
C. Lately for these type of sets I’ve been noticing when I denote a set of 30, people are breaking them up into 3 sets of 10, or 2 sets of 15. Accessory work is unbroken, something that you can hit for the 10,10, and 30 without stopping during your sets.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”HALLOWEEN Tuesday 10.31.17″ open=”false”]FIT

Notes:
A. Fit is dropping into the 2’s – Comp will be doing a “cluster,” which means you’ll hit a single, rest 30s exactly, then hit your next single. Use last weeks 3 and 2rm as a reference point.

B. Choose your scaling wisely – if it takes you more than 30s to perform the buy in, lower the reps for fit. If you are doing comp – you don’t have a choice, its 5. Also, this is not “skill work” This is training. So if your Power Snatch isn’t up to par for a fast paced workout, please choose DB/KB snatch.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Thursday 11.2″ open=”false”]FIT

Top 5 mistakes with a Paleo Diet

By: 0

In this video we discuss the top 5 mistakes that I see when people switch to a Paleo diet

1. Skimping on healthy fat
2. Calorie counting before food quality is in place
3. Forgetting that Paleo is supposed to be a lifestyle and not a quick fix detox or diet.
4. Forgetting that there is no one such thing as “The Paleo Diet” and that Paleo is best thought of as a template.
5. Treating Paleo as a religion or dogma

In the video we discuss each of these in more detail.

Dealing with the Haters

By: 0

One thing that almost everyone who starts eating healthy is sure to encounter is the haters.

Who are the haters?

-The people who are skeptical of any eating change
-The people who themselves aren’t motivated enough to make positive changes in their lives so they have to bring other people down
-The people who are food pushers

So how do you deal with the haters? Every situation is different but here are some good rules.

-If someone asks you once or twice why you’re having a gluten free bun or no dessert, for example, just politely say that eating this way makes you feel better and leave it at that
-If they persist a third or a fourth time ask them why they care what you’re eating. As long as you’re not pushing them to eat something, which you shouldn’t do, there’s no reason why it should bother them that you’re eating a certain way.
-If it still continues and you consider this person a true friend or loved one ask yourself why you’re still hanging out with them. If they really love you and care about you they should let you pursue what you choose. Alternatively, find some other non-eating activity to do together.

At the end of the day, each situation is different, but hopefully this gives you some options for dealing with these situations.
