Nutrition Resource: Supplements
Supplements can be tricky and many make all sorts of unsubstantiated claims. I’ve never been big on these, but I do supplement with small amounts of creatine most days, mixed in a protein shake, that I take post-workout. I’ll take a multivitamin and fish oil supplement when I remember to do so. That’s a combination that works for me, as my diet often doesn’t cover my nutritional bases, and the frequency and dosage of what I supplement are good for me. Follow the steps below to find out what works for you!
From CF Nutrition Guide:
Follow these five steps to determine the efficacy of any supplement when it comes to increasing performance and health.
1. Find out which high-quality foods work best for you.
2. Determine your optimal food amount and macronutrient ratios.
3. Maximize your results with quality and quantity.
4. Choose one supplement to experiment with and be sure to:
a. Start at a low dosage.
b. Test it for two weeks.
c. Incrementally increase the dosage until you find your optimal amount.
5. Determine whether the impact on your health and performance is worth the cost of the supplement. This can be done through the same means we use to benchmark overall diet. In adding this supplement, did your health markers improve? Performance? Subjective measures?

Nutrition Resource: Ryan Fischer
I really dislike social media. However, I have to admit there are some good things on there. One Instagram account that I personally respond to is from Ryan Fischer. He’s a trainer and coach who has a VERY direct style that challenges me to make changes and stick to them.
We all respond differently to different coaching styles. Ryan’s approach may not be your preferred approach, but I feel compelled to share this with you as another tool in your toolbox to make the changes you may be seeking.

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
― Oscar Wilde
Nutrition Resource: Let’s Talk About Alcohol
Drinking, like diet, is highly personal. We know alcohol is a barrier to many of the fitness and weight goals most of us have. If you are serious about losing weight or improving movement, you will need to take a long look at how your drinking fits in, in the same way we would look at macros, sugars, etc.
This video is an interesting take on one person’s self-realization about drinking and how they deemed it as an obstacle to achievement.

Nutrition Info: Habit Chaining
Hopefully some of you have taken on one of the challenges we proposed yesterday.
Today, we’re back to tools to assist with behavior change.
From CF Nutrition, “Repetition is very important when creating new habits, as is allowing enough time for the habit to become fully developed.
Start with small habits that are easy to change and then build upon them to develop new habits and substitute in more productive cues and behaviors.
This is called habit chaining and habit swapping.”

Ok, you’ve absorbed a ton of info. If you haven’t already, let’s put some of this to work for us.
1 Week Challenge (pick the one you want to focus most on):
A step towards lower carbs: Replace bread and processed sugar from breakfast this week. Use proteins, veggies, fruits, nuts, anything except grains and fake sugar. Work this for mornings for 7 days (Friday AM to Friday AM). In the afternoons and evenings, you can choose to do add bread and/or sugar back in or not.
16 hour fasting: Allow yourself 8 hours to eat 2-3 meals and a couple snacks for 7 days (Friday AM to Friday AM). This is not necessarily meant to be coupled with caloric restriction.

This is meant to be heavy and hard. It is NOT meant to be sloppy and of poor form. Don’t sacrifice technique just to go heavier. If you can move heavier weight with good form on this, even if you’re moving through singles on this one, great. Do 30 solid, heavy singles. If you need to stay light, be sharp and crisp, do that, even if this workout only takes you a couple minutes.
