Your Kitchen…
November 29, 2006
Last night I came across a great idea while reading Million Dollar Habits by Brian Tracy. He wrote a looking and acting the part. This has great carry over to achieving the physique and level of health that you desire. One of Brian Tracy’s examples was if someone walked up to your desk when you weren’t there would they conclude that you are a successful and efficient worker?
Let’s apply this to you and your training/nutrition life. If a person were to enter your kitchen and examine it what would they conclude?
1. That you are a fit and lean person that eats clean is lives a healthy life.
2. That you are a person that tries to eat clean foods but enjoys having processed foods.
3. That there is no food because you always eat at McDonald’s.
So which one are you?
This point goes right along with one of my favorite things that John Berardi has ever written called Berardi’s 1st Law. Here it is:
Berardi’s First Law:
If a food is in your possession or located in your residence, you will eventually eat it.
Corollary to Berardi’s First Law:
If you wish to be healthy and lean, you must remove all foods not conducive to those goals from said residence and replace them with a variety of better, healthier choices.
Second Corollary to Berardi’s First Law:
If you know someone whose house is stocked only with optimal food choices and yet who is not healthy and lean, look under his bed.

What is in My Library - Part I
November 28, 2006
Most people don’t read enough. How many books have you read this Week? Month? Year? Hopefully a lot. Often times we aren’t able to surround ourselves with mentors and role models. For example let’s say you really want to drop some body fat but everyone around you IS fat. You can’t just start hanging out with myself or John Berardi. The next best thing is books. Books allow you to enter the world of your mentor, hero, or role model. Blogs are really good at this too. Blogs are personal and thus you can get a real feel for the person that is blogging.
What I’m trying to get at here is that reading is your gateway to creating the world your want and developing the skills you desire. Currently one of the most overlooked genre of books is success literature. I LOVE SUCCESS LITERATURE. Most people mistake this for “get rich” books. Yes, the authors often write about making money but the skills, ideas, and techniques outlined in these books are applicable to all areas of life.
Here is a list of the books that I picked up over the holiday weekend.
I had given my copy to another friend
This is a great book that outlines skill not limited to making money
Napolean Hill is a dynamite author

27 Nutrition Facts
November 28, 2006
Yesterday I had a new article published on T-Nation entitled “27 Nutrition Facts”. It is full of great nutrition (and non nutrition tidbits). If you are into fish oil then check it out because I have a bunch of fish oil facts covering areas such as purity, the effects on asthma, and fish oil vs. flaxseed oil.
