Happy Thanks Giving! Well, we kind of took the week off, although I was busy putting the final touches on The FitCast Insider. So I thought it would be cool to give you a sneak peak this week with Part 1 of an interview I did with Mike Robertson. This should give you an idea of how The FitCast Insider will be.

Also I am thinking of making The FitCast bi-weekly. I am not sure about this, what do you think? Let me know in the comments or shoot me an e-mail.
Take Care,
KL

Before I talk about The FitCast Insider, PLEASE remember that The FitCast Podcast will continue every week as normal, and it will always be free.

Anyways, here it is, The FitCast Insider.

The FitCast Insider is home to exclusive content including interviews where the elite in the fitness and nutrition world talk about their Inside Information. This is unlike anything done on The FitCast. In these interviews we will be focusing on one or two subjects and we will be going very in-depth.

The interviews will include:

Eric Cressey, Lou Schuler, Alwyn Cosgrove, Craig Ballantyne, Cassandra Forsythe, Bill Hartman, Mike Robertson, Dan John, Rachel Cosgrove, Jean-Paul Francoeur, And MANY MORE!!

In these interview you are going to get the INSIDE information from the professional’s. I am talking about building an effective fat-loss program, how to get the most out of your diet, how to create a successful forum, how someone gets into the book industry. Just look at the list and think of the possibilities.

Also keep in mind that is just the preliminary list!!

When www.thefitcastinsider.com launches on Sunday, November 19, right out of the gate you will get over 3 HOURS of content, with 3 new audio downloads delivered each month, always with the possibility of Bonus Content.

Well, I have been on vacation from The FitCast for a few days. A much needed break. My break consisted of an Exercise Physiology test, Kinesiology quiz, and a research paper on Strength Training and its effect on Depression.
Calm vacation huh???
Well either way I got to take a few days from stressing out about the website, the forum, the podcast and the video episodes. It felt great. But now we are back, again.

Lou Schuler will be our guest this week so start asking questions wither in The FitCast Forum or e-mail them to: thefitcast@gmail.com

That is all for now, back to The Celtics game.

I am just posting to let you know that there will be no
Episode of The FitCast this week due to time constraints
and due to the fact that sometimes you just get burnt out.
This is one of those times. Next week we will be back with
an amazing guest, I will fill you in by Wednesday so you
can get your questions in.

This might be a great time to go back and listen to old
episodes like episode 7 with Lou Schuler or episode 9 with
Eric Cressey. There is some great content in past episodes
if you have just begun to listen to The FitCast.

Also the very first FitCast Interrogation is up on
www.thefitcast.com with Dan John himself.

That is all for now,

Hope you had a great weekend, now to do some more work…

Dan John is the first victim of “The Interrogation.” Enjoy.
KL: Why did you do The Velocity Diet?
DJ: I needed a jump start. Like I said over and over and over again in the threads, it had little to do with fat loss (although it worked well) and more to do with me getting back some self discipline and some focus for the next few years. I wanted to redirect my relationships with food and drink.
KL: What was the hardest part?
DJ: Well, as I mentioned, it was having people say “Oh, I need to do that diet…it would be perfect for me!” Right. Sure. I just ignored people at parties after a while. I begged Tiff not to mention it to people, but my Mother-in-law announced it at two parties and every drunk eating bagels would ask me about it.
KL: How did your family feel about you having shakes at
every meal?
DJ: Finally, a new question! The girls, Kelly and Lindsay, pretty much thought it was just part of their dad’s weirdness. Tiff got sick of it fast. She travels a lot, so she had to deal with a grumpy husband all the time. So, it was a tough stretch at times.
KL: What would be one piece of advice that you would give to people who are doing the V-Diet?
DJ: I would suggest that you have everything ready before you start. One guy went so far as to make each shake for the month and put them in one gallon plastic bags…not the water, just the flax and powder. That is genius. You need to eliminate any thinking as you
go through the diet.
KL: Was it worth it?
DJ: Look at the pics. Look at the blood tests. Are you kidding me? Absolutely.
KL: How have you been since the diet ended?
DJ: The jump start was perfect. I eat eggs and green beans for breakfast, snack on snap peas…it has given me diet control! Also, I discovered that I need more water and that has been very helpful.
KL: What is sexier while on the V-Diet, (insert the most beautiful woman you can think of) or a nice piece of steak and a mixed greens salad?
DJ: I’m telling you…this is a tough choice. I dreamed of BBQ chicken!

Hey FitCast listeners,

I have put up a donation tab on the website so if you like you can make donations towards The FitCast. At this point the budget for the show is low since we do not make any money off of The FitCast, I am actually losing a lot of money. But I understand this is a fun project so I do not mind. But I have been getting some e-mails on how people can support the show, the best way is the new donations tab. You can donate any amount of money.

By the way, all donations $10 and over will get a mention on the show, unless you would like to remain anonymous.Thanks everyone for the ongoing support!
