Put it In Reverse: A Reverse Diet Experiment
In a nutshell, a reverse diet is a protocol where you slowly add calories back into your diet after you have been in a long period of caloric restriction.
Instead of dropping an atomic bomb of calories into your system and expanding like a mushroom cloud of fat and water retention post diet, a reverse diet Jedi mind tricks your body into accepting the increased calories.
Your How to Guide for Eating Healthy on Vacation
Once the 4th of July is over, most people, are done vacationing for the year. For others they might have one more weekend or week planned before the cold chill of fall begins to descend from the North.
I just got back from vacation celebrating being married to my amazing wife for a year along with celebrating America’s Birthday. I did not track food for the week but I did stay very conscious, mindful if you will, of what I was eating.
You can implement a few of these yourself the next time you take a vacation.
Building A Hero Worthy Home Gym
Almost instantaneously the room erupted. The walls had seemingly given loose, making it seem as if the whole world was spinning. But after a brief moment I realized what was going on.
Bats.
Screaming. Flying. And nearly frightened as I was.
Amidst that horror I felt something transcendent burning deep inside of myself.
A calling.
In that singular moment, it became clear who I was.
Or rather… who I would become.
Okay. Maybe that story was not my own…That may or may not have been the story of Batman and the Bat-Cave.
Becoming the Batman
Almost 98% of my podcast guests answer my question of “what superhero would you be” by answering that they would be Batman. It makes sense to be honest, a rich guy with cool toys who stands for justice and tries to right the wrongs of the city he loves. Batman makes more sense then some dude who can only can be defeated by some rock that doesn’t exist naturally on Earth (suck it Superman).
Rainy Rest Day Activities
Active rest days can be a great way to counteract your desire to train but also keep you from vegging out on the couch. You can go for a jog, play some basketball, play disc golf (or regular golf), yoga, take a hike and explore nature in your hometown, or do some sort of mobility work or corrective exercise routines.
Being outside is great, but sometimes mother nature decides to be a dick and throw a wrench in your plans with rain.

So I decided to make a video to highlight a few of the important things I learned from my grandmother that I know impart on my clients.
Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Bar: How to Drink & Not Gain Fat
People assume that alcohol is the “Angel of Death” when it comes to fat loss, that like Indy and Marion, you have to shut your eyes and not look at it (in this case drink it) to lose weight.
Restricting things from your diet will ultimately lead to failure. You do not need to give up the food you love to achieve your fat loss goals, that includes zee booze.
Indiana Jones and The (Food) Temple of Boon
Thanks to the Internet, these Mola Ram types are indoctrinating more people than ever. The “diet gurus” of the introwebz typically have no degree in nutrition and usually make outrageous claims with no scientific fact to support their wacky theories.
They vehemently preach the dangers of ice cream, pizza, Subway’s bread, and warn you of chemicals in processed foods, but since they goofed off in high school science class, they forget that everything we eat is made of chemicals.
No one should ever enslave themselves to foods they hate nor should you have to rip out your heart and sacrifice your sanity on the Altar of Dieting Doom.
