Here’s a video blog where I discuss a few things you can do nutritionally to make a drastic impact in your fat loss. I have a lot of people that ask me how I train and since I train such a wide variety of people and everyone’s different, I touch on the things that are common factors in my clients’ training programs.

I still have a few slots open for my online personal training program, so if you’re not in San Antonio and are looking for a personal trainer, drop me a line. No matter your goal or current condition, I remove all guesswork for you.

Hope everyone’s having a great Tuesday!

A very common question people ask me about dieting is my opinion on milk, cheeses and other dairy products. Here’s a quick video blog that breaks down my take on milk products.

I know that many of you have read my nutritional guidelines that I’ve posted more than a few times, but here I go a little deeper. Not sure why I was cut off, but I finished the video by wishing everyone a “Happy Ash Wednesday”.

Remember a few things – I have created my own nutritional program from experience and education. While many of my things follow convention, some of them are things that WILL deviate from popular diets such as the Atkins, South Beach, GI Diets, Mediterranean, etc.

For entertainment’s sake, I decided to post one of my son, Peyton, giving daddy one of his Oscar-worthy performances… Definitely a video I will cherish for a long time. Yes, he’s much cuter than I am.

Let me warn you, if you’re looking for a magic weight loss pill, go away now. These are just the 4 supplements that I use regularly, and even moreso while I diet down for my bodybuilding competition.
The 4 supplements I use are:
ProComplete 40 – this is my protein blend that I blend with either oats for carbs + protein or healthy fats. Blend of casein, whey protein isolate and egg protein for a very broad spectrum of amino acids.

Scivation’s Xtend – this is my BCAA product. As I mentioned in the BCAA article a few days ago, these are the aminos that the body tries to obtain from muscle during exercise for energy.

Body Effects – Excellent energy booster, fat burner, appetite suppressant and mood enhancer (no kidding, it does all of this).

Melatonin – naturally produced in the brain, melatonin regulates sleep patterns and helps us get into the deep sleep cycle more rapidly. Do not underestimate the importance of sleep, rest and recovery!!!

As I’ve written it in the past, but the word supplement means “In addition to a whole part”. Supplements WILL NOT MAKE OR BREAK YOU. If training, nutrition and recovery aren’t in check, you are wasting a lot of money. Once those things are as they need to be, then supplementation can definitely enhance the effects of each.

As I have also mentioned, I purchase my supplements at Alamo City Sports Nutrition (at the corner of Huebner and Stone Oak). Great staff, knowledgeable and professional. Nothing like the GNCs of the world, who are trying to push the highest profit margin item and make a buck.

In addition to what is seen in this video, I also use Speed Stack by American Bodybuilding as my “kick in the pants” supplement – 5 calories, 240mg of caffeine and 25mg of Synephrine. It’s intense, and if you have a low tolerance to stimulants, I’d recommend building up to it.

Hope you enjoy the video!

Here’s a very simple, quick recipe for my favorite smoothie. I often have this for breakfast. Use the amount necessary for your dietary needs. In this video, I use 1/2c of raw uncooked oats + 2 1/2 scoops of vanilla powder.

1 scoop of ProComplete 40= 20g protein
1/2c scoop of Quaker Oats = 27g Carbs

Of course, there are many ways to adjust content and taste, such as adding or replacing the oats with fruit, berries, etc. In cases where natural fats are needed (instead of carbs – remember, I never combine fat sources with carb sources), I will replace the oats with a teaspoon of natural peanut butter, olive oil, or macadamian oil.

And I think I say “Protein is a low glycemic carb and high in fiber” – of course, I meant “oatmeal”. Sorry!

Enjoy!

Here’s a very simple, quick recipe for low fat ground turkey with pasta. Definitely body transformation friendly. Enjoy!

Easy to make, store, and eat on the run.
2oz of pasta = 41g carbs
4oz turkey = 27g protein
(pre-cooked)

Adjust accordingly to dietary needs.
