Let's be real… with the inevitable tidal wave of wine and matzo from Passover or the ham and mashed potatoes from Easter, that Coachella body of yours is in dire need of a reset. I am going to run through a quick explanation of how to recover from your cheat weekend...
Read moreDietary Fats: A Tale of Bro-Science and Self-Experimentation (Part 2)
Fats make you fat… the foundation of the nutritional advice over the last 50 years. Boy how they were wrong. An entire industry, founded on making low fat, “healthier” alternatives to already popular products, ironically causing an epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Marketing around health foods is hands down some of the most misleading propaganda being spewed in modern society.

There are many ways to get to a certain ‘compound’ if I may; however, each method comes along with its own set of parameters and reactions that you must experiment with...
Fast forward a few years - experimentation with Intermittent fasting led me to put some real research into insulinogenic effects of different types of food. I was sick of being hungry all day at work, and was looking to trade in my Michelin Certified Physique for that 8 pack. Lo and behold, Fats are not insulinogenic (I'll get into this in another article).
