Insulin resistance has become an epidemic. Understanding insulin resistance, while not the funnest thing to talk about, will go a long way to preventing it. READ ON…

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.

I am a believer in having a weekly “cheat meal.” It helps me stay sane. I realize this doesn’t work for everyone as it can be a slippery slope. But it works for me.

One of my mantras is that you should only cheat with your favorite version of that food. If your favorite pizza is Pasquales, don’t settle for Pizza Hut (and certainly don’t settle for frozen). The calories aren’t going to be that different. And it’s your cheat meal, so you shouldn’t be too worried about your calories anyway. You should get the version you like most so that it doesn’t leave you wanting more. At the end of the meal, you don’t want to be thinking, “That was good, but it was no Pasquales.”

The point of a cheat meal is to give yourself a little reward and to be satisfied. Settling on a lesser version of a cheat food is neither a reward nor satisfying.

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…
