Get my thoughts here: How Using a Scale May Help You Avoid Weight Gain During Vacation published in Healthline. The Journal of Obesity Medicine writes: “Research suggests adults often gain between 0.4 and 0.9 kilograms (or about one to two […]
Wishing Stephen Coolboysteph Fulton Jr @coolboysteph all the luck as he faces PaulusAmbunda for the IBO super-bantamweight championship tonight. Not that he needs it – the man is a MACHINE. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stephen for the past few months to get his nutrition where it needs to be to get to his fighting weight. Thanks to […]
Summer is almost upon us, and with it, the slew of magazines chock full of pre-summer workouts and diets promising the “perfect beach body in 6 weeks or less” are everywhere I look. Per usual the models used to tout these diets etc. are ALREADY perfectly lean, tanned and muscled. I don’t know about you […]
Well, it’s almost 2019. On the brink of a brand new year, I want to share an experience I’ve been dealing with for the majority of 2018. Several months ago, the nerves in my shoulder became paralyzed. At the point this happened I was in super good shape. I felt amazing and was working out […]

“Toning” is a very common term in the context of fitness. I have always been fascinated when I hear, or get to participate in, a conversation about it. When I ask what they are talking about, I invariably hear that they want “tone up” the body, or in other words, lose body fat and […]
I frequently emphasize personal experimentation in regard to when, and how, we consume our food. We often hear it is best to consume our last meal of the day at least two hours before we lay in bed. This may work excellently for some… but not for all, and probably not for most. You […]
Is a calorie from an apple the same as a calorie from potato chip? While most people intuitively know that an apple is “healthier” (It has vitamins, fiber and bulk to help keep you full), when it comes strictly to weight loss, the answer is hotly debated. However, the laws of thermodynamics cannot be, and […]
