If you've ever tried to lose weight, you've probably counted calories. And if you're a woman, you've probably fixated yourself on consuming 1,200 calories per day.

If you want to build muscle the right way, with maximum effect, minimum effort, and minimum chance of injury, then you need to learn some basic scientific principles about working out. When you eat the right way, lift the right way, and rest the right way, then you are building muscle the right way.

If you or someone you know has ever gone to extreme measures to lose weight – HCG injections, diet pills, surgery, starvation diets, etc – the chances are VERY small that they were successful.  And if they were, chances are that they couldn’t sustain the result.  I’m going to tell you why…

Starchy carbs get so much attention when it comes to nutrition conversations because they are the biggest double-edged sword our bodies have to deal with.

I’m sure you’ve heard people talking about IF (intermittent fasting) but do you know what it is and what the hype is all about?

Todays diet trends have us eating way fewer carbs and too much fat in our diets AND NOT ENOUGH PROTEIN. If you are trying to lose weight or hit that PR in the gym you need to look at your macros (protein, fats and carbs) and making sure that they are balanced.
