How I Feel After 7 Days Of Intermittent Fasting
“Breakfast is the most IMPORTANT meal of the day!”
If you want to burn fat…
“You must eat 6 small meals a day.”

Intermittent Fasting 21 Day Experiment
I have four core rules when it comes to how I approach my nutrition:
- I like easy & quick (no complicated or time consuming recipes, eating plans, etc).
- I like to focus on things I can stick with indefinitely (no gimmicks, or weird fad diets allowed)
- Must fit in with real life (I don’t want to feel restricted, or look like a weirdo in public)
- Must be healthy & safe (harming my short term or long term health in an effort to speed things up defeats the whole purpose of trying to be healthy).
“Intermittent fasting” seems to fit all four rules.
Intermittent fasting is something I first heard about last year, but something I quickly dismissed as just another weird fad thing that all the cool kids were doing.
But then fast forward to literally just yesterday and I’m doing some research for some new training I’m working on putting together. And I stumble upon “intermittent fasting” again but this time I decide to find out what it’s all about (with an open mind).
And this time…
I’m very, very intrigued, so much so…

Before I get into that first, what is intermittent fasting?Continue reading

Snack foods can make you fat…
OR…
They can help you to burn more fat, and build more muscle. They can help fill you up, and satisfy your cravings so you’re not binging on sweets or filling up on junk.
With summer fast approaching (June 20th), I figured it’d be a great time to share with you some of my all time favorite snacks that I like to have in between meals.
So without further ado, here they are (in no particular order)…Continue reading

Are Carbs Bad For You?
Are carbs bad for you? There has been a rash of diet fads over the past few years, with many claiming that carbs are bad for you. I also get people asking me all the time…”Jonathan, are carbs bad for you?” There’s a lot of these diet gurus out there who believe we should almost completely cut carbohydrates out of our diets and eat only protein and fat. What they’ve failed to realize is that there is no one-size-fits-all carbohydrate. They’re all different, and some are better than others.Continue reading
