Diet Compliance Chart

Enough people have been asking for this chart, so here it is.
HealthHabits Diet Compliance Chart
This is a generic version that works with any type of diet.
As long as a meal follows the rules of your particular diet, you put a check in the appropriate box. If you cheat, you have to put an X in the box. Simple, but effective. Something about putting pen to paper makes your actions more permanent.
A chart full of checkmarks is very motivating, as is a chart full of Xs.
But, like any other tool, if you don’t use it, it won’t work.
Note – You don’t need to eat 6 meals a day.
Note – You can replace the Checks & Xs with Gold Stars if the child in you so desires.

Yvonne Craig is my idea of a woman who stayed in great shape her entire career without losing her femininity. In fact, I think women had it right in the 60's. For the most part they remained slim while keeping their soft curves. When men get too big and ripped it looks "forced". The same goes for women. When women overdo their workouts and do too much volume of lifting they can put on too much muscle. I think light muscle tone while being slim is the ideal route. I know that I risk upsetting some people by posting my opinion here, but I guarantee you that I'm not in the minority here.

Carb Junkie Weekend

Last week, a client of mine volunteered to act as my personal guinea pig for an completely un-scientific look at the effect of sugar and insulin on the human body.
The Experiment
From Monday to Thursday, my client (Mr.X) followed a diet consisting of fresh vegetables (no root vegetables or squash), berries, small amounts of nuts & seeds, unprocessed animal protein, unprocessed fats, salt, spices, coffee with cream, tea, water and 1 tbsp of fish oil per day.
From Friday to Sunday, he could eat whatever he wanted.
Come Monday morning, we would take some measurements and assess how his body responded to both diets.
The Back Story on Mr. X

First of all, I should mention that Mr.X is a frustrating client.
He has had great results in spite of ignoring at least half of my dietary recommendations. The SOB has lost over 25 lbs and gained 8 lbs of muscle in 4 1/2 months due […]

Last Thursday’s blog post on ‘The Zen of Nutrition‘ is probably the best example of my current views on Health and Nutrition.
And, after reading through the comments I see that a lot of people feel the same as I do.
we’ve had ENOUGH. (Why do we try to make it so hard?)
It’s time to de-clutter our minds and simplify our approach.
There is ZERO relationship between how many fitness guru emails we receive each day, how many fitness books we read, how many health forums we visit, and how much weight we lose or how healthy we feel.
Or as Terri put it
“I own about 200 diet/nutrition books, and seriously, for what? What has worked for me and always has worked for me, is cutting down on calories.”

And Todd hit the nail on the head whe he said:
“Overcomplicating is a major source of waste, anxiety, and confusion.”

Stressing over what we eat, how we […]

The basis of Tabata Training is 4 minutes of intense interval training. What you are doing is taking an exercise we’ll use sprints as an example here. Sprint as hard as you can for 20 seconds Walk for 10 seconds Repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 sets. So what you have is a total of 4 minutes workout time. Tabata Training can be done with a number of different exercises the idea is to use an exercise that gets the whole body involved or at least the major muscle groups.Tabata Training can be done with Barbells, Dumbells, Kettlebells or just Bodyweight exercises. I’ll give you some other exercises and routines to try in a minute but first let me give you some background and how Tabatas work. Tabata Training was developed by Izumi Tabata (imagine that) at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, Japan. […]

Bootcamp Night Training w/ Matt Costa starts Aug 27th

The feedback from Matt Costa’s fitness boot camp at the beach has been so outstanding that KnuckleUp got him to start a brand new  Night edition!
Matt’s had several students that wanted to take the bootcamp, but just could not make it to the morning edition (5:30am!). According to Matt, students have been asking for a different schedule since the very first boot camp edition, but his own schedule never allowed it.
Well, we were finally able to fix that problem:
Matt Is Now A Permanent Member Of The KnuckleUp Team
It’s true. Matt has taken over several kickboxing classes, and is now available for exclusive personal training sessions. We are extremely proud of the results Matt has consistently achieved with his students, and the guy was only teaching a couple classes a week!
For the boot camp night edition, Matt designed 10 classes of intensive strength […]
