Good Habits


Primal Truth #2
The secret to feeling and looking greater than ever.  

You can train like a machine with the intensity of a demon for years and get strong but unless you are a genetic freak and/or at the height of your natural testosterone production then there is no way to reduce body fat and be healthy unless you pay attention to what you eat. I spent the early part of my lifting life trying to out-train the fork. It just won't happen. If you want to avoid high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, inflammation and just aches and pains it simply starts with what you eat. Remember the you are what you eat campaign? Truer words have never been spoken. 

I can feel your objections already. No one wants to hear the word diet. I agree. Just start with good habits and you will feel better than you ever have. It's much easier than you think. 

Habit #1
Enjoy cooking and eating at home with fresh, local food.  Just that simple. Go to your nearest farmer's market. Pick a heirloom tomato and buy it. Now go to your local big box grocery store and buy their tomato. Go home. Eat both and then please reach out to me and let me know what differences you noticed. I want to hear about your experience in your words.

When you are ready, I can talk you through the fundamental experience of buying fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, some proteins and making a fantastic, filling dinner that tastes great and does your body good. Look at the two pictures below and compare. It's the first step. Eat real food. Every cell in your body will thank you for it. If you are in Ottawa, come and see me Sunday morning at 945AM for a tour of Lansdowne farmer's market.
