Tag Archives: Eating Stuff

One of the many reasons this stuff is awesome is that you can make it at the beginning of the week and it lasts forever. It makes about 8 servings, and since there’s no meat in it, it will stay good for a couple weeks. So basically you only have to cook once and you have a healthy, warm, tasty, filling meal for like ever. THERE’S THAT EFFICIENCY AGAIN.

OK so here is what you need to make this. Read More

So, I started this blog to talk about fitnessing in real-life, and one of the most important things I discovered in my ongoing quest for Healthy is that sustainability is key. Everything you do to be healthier should be with long term in mind.  FOR EXAMPLE.

There is this one diet I was SO EXCITED to try after hearing about it from my roommate at the time.  His name is Guillaume, he is from France, but this is AMERICA, so we called him Gyoom.

The diet was meant to give me abs (omg FINALLY) and eliminate any chance of my body even THINKING of creating fat, while making sure I was getting the nutrients in order to workout 7 – 8 hours a week. This was HEALTHY. I was going to be SHREDDED. Or as Gyoom called it, “shred.”

Here is the regimen: Read More

Okay urrbody, here is the most important post ever: how do you fitness and alcohol at the same time?

This is very difficult, and please note, you should never do both at the EXACT same time. This is dangerous, and will prevent you from doing either effectively.

No, we’re talking about doing them both at the same time in the LIFESTYLE sense. Because in life, we are always fitnessing. But sometimes, we are also having cocktails.

Let’s start with broad strokes. Here is the hierarchy of alcohol types, in order of “healthiness” from most to least: Read More

OK so the weekend is happening now, and pretty much all month long, since it is December and everyone “would LOVE to see you before the holidays!” so here we go with fitnessing during the tough times.

You don’t want to DECLINE these parties, because then you might slowly fade from all invite lists, and then one day you’re home alone texting 45 people just to “see what’s goin on!” and start to wonder if maybe your phone is broken?

No, we don’t want that to happen. Go to the parties. Have fun. Don’t be that person who “CAN’T HAVE ALCOHOL, I’M ON A DIET HAHA…” Be a normal person, having fun with other normal people at a party.

BUT HOW DO I DO THAT?

You do that by doing a few other things. Read More

Do you love food so much, just SO much? Yes well as part of fitnessing, when you love food so much, it is much easier to eat different foods than to eat no foods. Thus, healthy recipes.

Are you terrible at cooking, just SO terrible? Yes well as part of eating healthy recipes, you have to first make them. So, don’t be scared, we’re going to do this together, and it. will. be. fun.

This first recipe was made on an 11-montherversary, and it has been referred to as 11-month pork ever since, so 11-month pork it shall remain (you can also use chicken for this, and just reduce the cooking temp to 350; 11-month chicken is just as good). If you want to call it Pineapple-Walnut Pork or Walnut-Salsa Pork, go ahead, but don’t expect me to understand what you’re talking about.

I have seen two nutritionists, both of whom were very helpful, and neither of whom gave me a clear answer on why I don’t have abs yet. But from each of them I got a really great takeaway.  This blog post is about the first.

You probably guessed it because it’s in the title. Eat more protein.  In fact, my specific prescription was to eat 50% more protein than I was at the time.

IS THIS A GOOD THING?

YES. Yep. Yes. First of all, anytime someone (a nutritionist, no less) tells you to eat MORE, this is a major plus. Second, protein rocks. Here are some things that make protein hardcore: Read More

Let me just start this off by saying that Weight Watchers is the shit.  And let me also say that I am no longer on it (which I’ll get to later–CLIFFHANGER!).

Personally, I started Weight Watchers because Jennifer Hudson had just starting being their spokesmodel, and I was like, she seems so fun, I would like to be her friend and look that excited about wearing dresses with a belt, okay fine I’ll shell out $16 for the online version for 3 months, or whatever the deal was.
