I hate all those holiday party survival guides that tell you to stick to the veggie tray, don’t you?
It’s like, "No shit, Sherlock."
Give me something more. Give me something better.
I’m headed down to my Sicilian in-laws place for Christmas and I’m already starting to get nervous about how to maintain my program while I’m there. […]
In 2000, Sal and I lived in a flat across the street from Ocean Beach in San Francisco. It was the heyday, just before the crash really took hold (and tossed us out on our ear, mind you). As I watched the Tour de France, I picked up my cell phone, called up Kozmo delivery […]
In order to preempt the inevitable post-cylcocross depression, I put together an extensive off-season fitness plan with clear, measurable goals, and clear steps.
On Monday morning after the USGP I knew exactly what I needed to do, so I woke up and did it.
I did my "intake" test and measurements for P90X. The week before, I’d […]
I’m never going to tell you that transforming your body is as simple as a calories-in-calories-out formula. To truly affect your body, you absolutely have to start with your head. You have to change the way you think about food and exercise. You’ve got to identify your motives and work hard at finding an approach […]
Yep.
You read me right.
John Berardi, the guy behind the Precision Nutrition plan that I like so much, has a free eBook available for download and it’s crammed full of desserts recipes that are so healthy it’s stupid. That makes Heidi happy heading into the Dessert Landmine that is December.
You can pick up the book here: […]
Who doesn’t love pancakes?
When I was a kid, I lived for pancake mornings. On Saturdays I would shoot out of bed and rot my brain in front of cartoons for a few hours before my mom and dad got up. Then dad would cook a big-assed batch of buttermilk pancakes while standing in his navy […]
Man. When I was a kid I hated squash (further proof that kids are dumb ;). Seriously, just the mention of it would send me into a fit of convulsions.
But I’m reformed. I now recognize that squash is amazing and incredible! Especially winter varieties which are much more flavorful than their summer brethren.
The coolest part […]
This tip from John Berardi comes just in time. Why? Because tomorrow’s Sunday so you can apply this right away.
The Sunday Ritual is what I consider to be the key driving factor in the success or failure of my nutrition plans. I didn’t need Berardi to tell me that I should do this, and you […]
When it comes to nutriton, there are a lot of voices out there on the internet vying for your attention. Doing a simple search for “best nutrition strategies” can be overwhelming enough to deter you from making the changes that you want to make. Who to believe?!
Everyone is a fitness expert, right? […]
Sal just looked up from his desk (we work together) and said, “I wonder what would happen if you fried cottage cheese?”
This is quintessential Sal. The Sicilian take on one of the healthiest protein sources out there: yes, but can you deep fry it???
I have no idea if you can fry cottage cheese or not […]
