Highly Recomended!



I have a few books on nutrition, but this one is BY FAR the best I've ever read. If you are serious about changing the way you eat, whether it's for weight loss, or just to be healthy, you can't go wrong with this book. It will educate you, and hopefully inspire you to stop feeding your body all of the junk food that has been a part of our daily diets. Eating is a privilege...do it well!!


Even though the title says "21 day transformation', this is NOT a short term fix, because there is NO SUCH THING! This is a 21 day process that will teach you how to eat correctly, for the rest of your life. The term 'diet' has been changed in this country, to imply that you change what you eat for 6-8-12 weeks etc, and then you just go back to eating the same crap. This is a lifestyle change, that you will live by the rest of your life. If you want to be healthier, read this book, if not...


I have no financial gain from promoting/recommending this book, other than the fact that it's amazing! I'd go as far as to say that it should be a 'mandatory read', or even a class in our school systems, as it teaches you about how much of our diet is crap; even the things we've been told were good for us. There is no gimmick here, just solid info, and once you read it, you realize it just makes sense. Why?? Because it simply promotes eating raw,  organic (if possible) un-processed foods, and eliminating refined carbs, and sugar, which is in EVERYTHING these days!


This book will change everything you thought you knew about food, and you will be shocked by some of the things you read, but you will be more educated, and you will be healthier.


I'm VERY proud of my wife, she started this about two weeks ago, so she is on her way!

Enjoy!

Quote from S. Maxwell

This is a quote from Steve Maxwell, from one of his coaching sessions with Saulo Riberio, an Abu Dhabi World Champion. The context of what he said applies to all styles of Wrestling, real-world fitness, and basically any sport there is. It's so accurate and true, but sadly overlooked/ignored by the average guy/girl at any gym.

 
 

"One of the things I've never understood about strength training, is how bodybuilding made such an influence…people are trying to workout like competitive bodybuilders…isolation movements like curls, extensions…but the body does not move in isolation, in a sport like ours (BJJ) you never isolate, you use your body together…your heart, lungs, strength, endurance, grip…everything works together, that's what these exercises do."

 
 

Well said…thanks Steve!
