What Have I Learned So Far From Going Organic?
Day 16 - Eating Organic Trial
It is now Day 16 of my eating organic semi-raw trial.
This is just a quick post to get my weight recorded. Last night I was 175 pounds at 14.8% bodyfat.
All lifts are going up and I feel great. I feel very motivated with the new changes to the coaching site and have been enjoying my time working on it. I feel like a lot of things are heading in the right direction.
My diet is still mostly raw and my protein intake is half of what it used to be since I no longer used the commercially made protein powders.
Chow for now.
Day 11 Going Organic Semi Raw
A continuation of my 30 day experiment with my diet I also added a list of food additives to that post.
Still trying to make sense of a lot of things with my eating. I tried a raw butternut squash recipe last night and I just couldn’t get it down no matter how hard I tried. I really wanted to like it too because it looked easy, fun and fresh. Wait a minute. Did this just turn into a dating site?

MSG - Here Is Where It Hides
Monosodium glutamate, also known as sodium glutamate and MSG, is a sodium salt of the non-essential amino acid glutamic acid. It is used as a food additive and is commonly marketed as a flavor enhancer. It has the HS code 29224220 and the E number E621. Trade names of monosodium glutamate include Ajinomoto, Vetsin, and Accent.
Although traditional Asian cuisine had often used seaweed extract, which contains high concentrations of glutamic acid, MSG was not isolated until 1907. MSG was subsequently patented by Ajinomoto Corporation of Japan in 1909. Read the rest of this entry →
You Dont Have To Be A Hippie To Eat Organic
Day 10 Of My Organic Diet continued from Eating Raw Food From An Organic Farm - An Experiment.
I got terribly sick yesterday! Not to be too graphic but both ends of me were kept really busy for about 6 hours. Then all of a sudden I was sound as a pound.
It could has been the spinach, the Bison which I tried to keep as uncooked as possible or a 24 hour stomach bug. I have no idea but I feel fine today.

Eating Healthy. Should you be eating organic, raw, vegetarian or what?
I’ve been going through some huge changes this month and I hope these changes might light a spark in your life to make changes where you need them too.
First, my personal training business that has been running in the same gym since 2001 has been transformed like a butterfly into something even better. It’s now a private studio where my trainers and myself can do one on one training with clients as well as Muay Thai and JiuJitsu in our spare time. I stepped through the door the other day, looked around and smiled. Finally I knew this was right.

Starvation Diets To Lose Weight
Here is a very typical email I get from someone trying to lose weight on a starvation diet. They think they are eating well but have no idea how close their bodies are to starving and that it’s actually the reason they can’t seem to lose any weight.
Hi, I am a 24 yr old student trying to lose weight, I ran across an article of yours on line and thought it was wonderfully direct and to the point (thank you, those are so rare). So I decided to send you an email, I never do this, so I’m not really sure exactly what info you need (or if this is even the right way to go about this) but here it goes: Read the rest of this entry →
Easy Chicken Soup Recipe
I mentioned diet recipes and chicken soup to my buddy the other day and he asked me why I don’t have a book out on what I eat on a daily basis. He said it sure would be helpful to know how a trainer prepares, stores and makes his meals on a daily basis.

Nutrition Bars Are No Good!
You see them all over the place these days… Nutrition bars that claim to be healthy and good for weight loss or muscle building, but when you read the label, you see an endless list of chemicals, sugars, processed trans fats, and other harmful overly processed ingredients.
There are so many types of “Nutrition bars” and “protein bars” on the market today, how do you know if you are actually getting something healthy or just junk food in disguise? Read the rest of this entry →
The Best Complex Carb
It’s quick and easy and it won’t make your abs look bad. Here is a quick video of how to prepare a squash and it only takes about 35 minutes cook time. Squash goes great with just about anything but chicken is a great choice.
