    Love peanut butter but trying to watch the fat or calories? Is it really possible to get the flavor of peanuts with only 15% of the fat? Sounds too good to be true ... or is it?

Fitness Tip

  • If you are setting out to add size while getting toned, you are going to be disappointed. In order to add muscle mass, you have to have a calorie surplus. But in order to get ripped (i.e. shed fat), you need to have a calorie deficit. As you can see, you can’t have both a surplus and deficit simultaneously.

    Your best bet is to focus on one thing at a time: bulk/build and then tone/cut. Rinse and repeat till you’ve reached your goal.

    NOTE: Adding size and getting stronger are NOT synonymous. So if you want to get stronger while toning up, well, that you can do! And I can help!

Testimonials

  • I was feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.
