Fall in Love With Vegetables

Forget salads. This is about building a relationship with your plant friends — starting with just one vegetable at a time.

Here’s how it works:

One Vegetable. One Portion.
You’re giving this vegetable your full attention.

Enhance Flavor.
Use condiments like you’re making it a meal.

Change the Method.
Every cut creates a new texture, a new flavor, a new experience.

This is your chance to explore, experiment, and fall in love with vegetables in a whole new way.

Essentials of Exercise Execution

The majority of gym goers have absolutely no idea what they’re doing, how to do it, or even why they’re doing it. Most simply choose to take an ignorant approach in favour of being able to SAY that they go to the gym, but they really have no desire to improve their looks. If they did care about that, rationally, they would care about making the most of their time, and learning how to do things correctly, right? I would hope so.

#1 Initiate With the Working MUSCLE

  • Create tension in the working muscle BEFORE moving the weight.
  • Avoid using momentum.

#2 Maintain Continuous TEMPO

  • Avoid pausing or resting at the top or bottom of a rep.
  • Avoid uncontrolled acceleration in either direction.

#3 Maintain Continuous TENSION

  • Keep tension at the extremes of the range
  • Avoid letting tension shift to other muscles as you fatigue.

#4 Ensure Maximum CONTRACTION

  • For each muscle (Biceps, Triceps, Pecs, Back, Quads, Hams, Delts, Calves, and Abs), learn how to contract them.
  • Note: The fully contracted position of one muscle is the fully relaxed position of the opposite muscle.

#5 Maintain Proper POSTURE

  • Sit/Stand ‘Proud’
  • Think of pushing the ground/seat away
7-Day Weight Loss Diet

The gold standard for weight loss is maintaining a calorie deficit. That is to say, you lose weight by consuming fewer calories than you burn. However, on this specific diet, weight loss happens regardless of calories because of the types of foods you choose. So, with that said, calories won’t be the focus here.

This diet focuses on specific foods that influence metabolic hormones. While not everyone knows the details, the science is well documented. If you’re curious, you can explore nutrition science and human physiology to learn more—but for now, you can take this knowledge for granted.

For 7 days you will be consuming only natural water, milk, honey, and raw foods including herbs, fruits, vegetables, cheese, eggs, and meats (specifically beef and/or tuna).

These foods are mandatory:

  • Fresh Coconut Water and/or Mineral Water
  • Beef For Stew and/or Wild-Caught Tuna
  • Raw Cheese
  • Raw Butter, In-Season Avocado, and/or Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil
  • Raw Heavy Cream (or Raw Cream)
  • Whole Milk
  • 100% Honey
  • Fresh Eggs
  • Carrot and/or Beet
  • Lime
  • Cilantro
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Ginger
  • Tomato (or Any Other Berry i.e., Banana, Strawberry, Blueberry)
  • Marie-Sharp Pepper (Recommended)
  • 100% Cacao Powder (Recommended)

What about hunger or thirst panics?
Occasionally during the diet you will have intense or immediate cravings for food. They can seem very intense and you may want to run to the kitchen and eat or drink everything in sight. Well, DON’T. These are just temporary metabolic shifts in your body. Don’t attach to them and they will be gone in minutes, if not seconds. Note: You should NEVER feel hungry or thirsty on this diet. If you do, you need to drink MORE liquid or eat more food. If you still feel hungry or thirsty, WAIT a few minutes, drink more or eat more and keep drinking and eating more until you are full.

What about my energy level?
When you are consuming specific foods, or unfamiliar food, you may experience occasional energy lulls. You may suddenly feel like, “I have no energy in my body. I can’t get up.” Listen, just relax. Don’t panic. This feeling will only last a few minutes and then you will have more energy than you know what to do with. Short, temporary, energy dips are common when dieting, especially during a diet with only raw foods. But intense energy blast are even more common.

What about burping, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, or constipation?
These symptoms can occur, and they’re usually not a cause for concern—except in the case of constipation. If constipation becomes an issue, simply add more water-rich fresh fruits and vegetables to meals to help relieve it.
