Fun Friday - Personal Pizza’s

Personal Pizzas

It’s FUN FRIDAY and thanks to Tania (assistant boot camp coach) for sending in this AWESOME recipe

She’s loaded and ready to go…. FIRE!

I am always trying to re-invent recipes and how to make them healthier yet still have the incredible flavour that I love! So, I took on pizzas last night and tried them on the family–they loved them, and I loved them knowing that they have all the components to fuel my body with protein, complex carbohydrates, and some fat added in as well!

Planning Your Diet Tutorial

Just follow the steps below and the video will walk you through how to figure out your daily calories using the automatic calculator here on the site.

But first a rant…

I know diet can be really confusing but honestly and truly the biggest problem I see with peoples diets is that that don’t even eat REAL FOOD. Eat from scratch. Period. That’s it.

You don’t have time right? That’s poor logic. Why would you waste an hour in the gym, plus travel time, if all your sweat and effort is for nothing. If you are still eating packaged materials, with all the chemicals and empty calories, the gym might slow the damage but you’ll never look and feel great.

I didn’t write that without thinking. Every word of it is true. Find a frozen dinner or breaded chicken in the woods for me. You can’t do it and that’s why your body gets so messed up when you eat that stuff. It doesn’t even know what to do with it. Sometimes, it will even classify it as poison. That’s when you get gut rot, drowsy, headaches or water retention.

The food industry is scamming us so hard, that we think being fat and feeling like crap is normal and that skinny people must work real hard or not eat hardly anything. It’s lies.

Here is how to figure your daily calories if you like to do things by numbers:

Supplements And Diet Basics

SUPPLEMENTS - THE HYPE AND THE REALITY

The big scam…

It’s important to note that the whole supplement industry is not honest. There are a lot of “fly by night” companies that don’t put what they say into their products. Make sure you stick to the companies that have been around for a while and have a solid reputation.

There are also a lot of products that do absolutely nothing and if anything does happen it’s because of the placebo affect. This is why I put the useful supplement section in. The ones listed there are really all you need to train and make great progress.

Think hard before you buy into marketing hype and big promises. There is always a new supplement and the ads look real convincing. I have been around the block on this one and trust me, you only need the basics. Read more

Carbohydrate Cycling For MMA And Fat Loss

As MMA fighters, we’re constantly looking for ways to improve our game. We sharpen our skills, improve our conditioning, and increase our strength, all with the goal of being better warriors. However, many of us fail to take advantage of a very important key to success in the ring (or cage)—optimal nutrition.

How many of you are exactly the weight you want to be right now? How many of you currently possess your “ideal physique?” If you’re like many of us, you probably have some extra “fluff” weighing you down, that once lost, could substantially improve your speed and agility (not to mention your “game” with the other sex). Perhaps you’re on the other end of the weight spectrum and could stand to gain some extra “buff” to help you overpower your opponents and bring more force to your strikes and grappling. Read more
