I'm addicted to sugar!

I love sugar so cutting it out of my diet completely was something I was NOT looking forward to. I started slowly.the first two days I took away my afternoon Swedish Fish fix and replaced it with bubble gum (sugar free of course)I chewed about 2 packs of gum those two to three days. I felt terrible! I had a headache, I felt weak, and irritable. I slowly started taking away my coffee creamer from my morning coffee. By Friday I was drinking black coffee! Thats huge, considering my usually cup of… Continue

In Their Words: Testimonials Don't Lie.

"First of all, bless Jim for all he does and his fierce, caring heart behind it all. Yes, beyond the bands of muscle lies much passion. He truly wants everyone to be happy.

To say I have had a rough chain of events in the last year could be an understatement. I came to Jim at one of the lowest points in my life. I knew if I could dial in my nutrition I could embrace the life "ride" more efficiently. 1 - 1/2 months later I was pleasantly surprised…

NUTRITION:

Saturday was my rest day and cheat meal. Went for it! At about 12pm, hit Boise Fry Company and I gorged on a huge hamburger on a GF bun and a ton of fries. I also had a glass of red wine.

Later that night I made a ton of homemade guacamole and we ate it with a bunch of Terra vegetable chips.…

Honestly, not much appetite today. Was really busy with things and did a special class tonight at a gym in Boise with Katie.

Also, the deadlift and dip program I have been doing has actually left me feeling a little sick for the rest of the day. Following my own rule of just plain not eating if I don't feel like…

“Graduate” to Building Strength and Health.

Conversation with a long-time member of IKSC yesterday about goals: It really brought me to one of the things of which I am most proud.

21 Instant and Irresistible Low-Carb/High-Nutrient Snacks

21 Instant and Irresistible Low-Carb/High-Nutrient Snacks

It is said that poor eating is poor planning. I can’t agree more. Have these on hand when time is an issue.

I have found that pre-planning nutritious and irresistible low-carbohydrate meals/snacks is vital in dealing with sugar cravings. Here are a few examples to have on-deck when cutting out the carbs.

All of these can be prepared in about a minute. Bacon can be pre-cooked and eaten cold or…

I had a meeting in a Council, so I didn't have time to eat lunch. I had 1.5 pepperoni stick. 19g fat, 4.5g carbs, 15g protein. At 6:00 I had 1/4c of mixed berries 0g fat, 4g carbs, 1g protein. 1oz of raw sunflower seeds. 14g fat, 6g carbs, 6g protein. I only drank 32oz of water.

So I started my day off with a cup of coffee, MCT oil, fish oil and vitamin d. That was around 10. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I didn't eat again until 530. Do to the Super Bowl, I had my "cheat" meal of round steak with bell pepper, onions and tomato paste, rice and a tortilla. I also had a bit of cheesecake.... Bad, bad, bad! I drank 64 oz of water.

NUTRITION:

I can guarantee that I did not get even close to enough protein today, but it is no big deal. I will make up for it during the week. I would be lucky to have gotten in 50grams today. So, those of you that struggle to get your protein in, I understand.
