This is Why Your Diet Keeps Failing

This post is going to cover some serious psychological stuff, but I will try to keep it as light and straight to the point as possible. Let’s discuss the #1 reason why so many (and possibly you) continue to fail when dieting. We, as fitness professionals, hear it all of the time, “I ate perfectly during the week, but I just had to have pizza during the game on Sunday.” (Or something along those lines). Why is compliance so hard? Is it an addiction to food? Maybe. Is... Read More

What the Hell is in Your Fridge???

When I was nine-years-old my family was rented a house that had a Sub Zero Fridge. And yes, to be honest, in 1995, the main reason I loved it was because it said Sub FREAKIN’ Zero on it! You know, like in Mortal Kombat… Well here are pictures just in case there is confusion: (Sub Zero the Killer…) (Sub Zero the Chiller…) OK, now that I got the obligatory video game reference in… I want to know what is in your fridge. I will show you mine, if you... Read More

They are too big!!!” Then life got in the way. Kim couldn’t train any longer because of a busy teacher’s schedule, working on her house, and she is planning a wedding... Read More

By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS It has been a while since I have posted pictures for the Destination Abs project. After taking a few days completely off of training I hit it hard for three days with a refeed and on Monday I went back to the normal schedule of lifting. So just to recap, in this phase the goal is to continue to put on lean muscle while limiting fat gain. The process of doing this is pretty delicate but Leigh has been a great help locking in the calories. I am still... Read More
