  • Why We Get Fat

    Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it. A follow up to his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat, and the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue.

    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’re struggling with staying alert in the afternoons, there’s a reasonable chance you’re overdoing it with your caffeine in the morning. Caffeine injects adrenaline and dopamine into your system, which feels good at first but once they wear off, can leave you feeling worse. Tag on a heavy lunch and your blood sugar spikes, then crashes, giving you a double whammy.

    To help keep levels stabilized, limit your intake in the morning. This make take some getting used to, but over time, you’ll feel more energy throughout the day, making your workouts easier and giving you more resolve to pick healthier food.

Testimonials

  • I was in a rough spot with my nutrition and my training was suffering. I reached out to Matthew for some advice hoping he would guide in the right direction. He told me about an accountability group he would facilitate. I accepted the invitation and never looked back. The nutrition plan was very good (tasteful) and being accountable to fitness was great… The people I took this journey with were fantastic and so encouraging. It was exactly what I needed at the time. Thank you Matthew for the experience and believing in me…

  • Vitamix Review: Our Favorite Appliance

    Vitamix. Is it everything they say it is? I'm here to tell you, it's more. This multi-purpose, powerhouse of a machine will not only help get you healthier, you'll be looking for excuses to use it. It's without its flaws, but we wouldn't trade it for 100 pounds of organic kale.
