A special thanks to Aimee McNew at Paleohacks.com for today’s Whole30® recipe roundup. Yup, you can be a vegetarian and still do a Whole30 challenge. Find out how to plan a simple menu with veggie-friendly recipes that include breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What is Whole30 anyway? Whole30 is a 30-day challenge that’s similar to the Paleo diet, but with a few more restrictions. It excludes Paleo-friendly sweeteners (like honey and maple syrup), baked goods, alcohol, and most desserts. Although the Paleo lifestyle incorporates gluten-free desserts, Whole30 believes you should hold off on them for the 30 days. The purpose is to reset how your mind thinks about sweets in the first place, so you no longer get the urges or cravings. While the challenge is primarily short-term, some people opt to do it for longer periods of time. The benefit of this challenge is to evaluate how your body reacts to a more wholesome, cleaner-eating lifestyle (without inflammatory triggers). How to Eat V...

This post is sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company Are you going to any chili cook-offs this fall? Any football parties with spreads of apps? These Cheddar Chile Oat Muffins would be a great addition to any party spread! Bite-sized and easy to make, they pair well with so many fall favorites. The Ingredients If cornbread and a mini muffin had a baby, these cuties are what you would get! The recipe calls for oat flour using Quaker’s Old Fashioned Oats plus corn meal as the main ingredients. The flavors include a hint of sweetness from honey, a mild chile flavor (spice level = kid friendly!) and melted cheddar on top. You can also make them with Quaker’s Gluten Free Oats for a gluten-free recipe. How To Make Oat Flour I’ve featured oat flour before, and it’s so easy to make if you have a food processor. I actually prefer the slightly sweeter taste to whole wheat flour, so it’s been my baking flour of choice of late. Just add Quaker Old Fashioned Oats to the bowl with the blade in...

A common challenge that our nutrition clients often encounter is how to track macros on the weekend. You want to loosen up the reigns on your tracking, but how much is too much. If you’re too loose with your diet, getting to your goals is going to take much longer. So then, how do you find the balance between how to during the week versus how to track macros on the weekend? Does this sound like you? Monday – Friday: Eat clean and hit your macros⠀ ⠀ Weekend: Eat whatever you want⠀ ⠀ Does this happen to you? You’re “good” all week, but then go off the rails on the weekend. Oy. It can be a vicious cycle, especially if you have specific goals in mind for yourself. Remember: Your goals don’t change on the weekend. ⠀ ⠀⠀ If this cycle of eating is not help you achieve your goals, here are a few options to consider:⠀ 1. Don’t track at all. For real. Don’t track at all, but be mindful of your choices. I highly recommend this option. Taking a break from macros is good for your mind, bod...

Last week, speaking as an elder of physical culture, I wrote a list of ten fitness tips for younger readers: the things that every young to middle-aged man or woman should know about training. Some were things I learned along the way. Some were mistakes I made. And some were big wins I figured out early. At any rate, people found it helpful, and quite a few asked for a follow-up—this time around general life advice. Note: I’m no life coach. But I do have a nice life, one I figured out on my own through trial and error and with a good deal of hard work. I speak just for myself, but maybe some insights will resonate. (And I hope you’ll share your own hard-won wisdom below.) What should you keep in mind as you look forward to a long, well-lived life? 1) “Prioritize Sleep Above Everything.” Don’t get romantically involved with someone who wants to stay up until 2 A.M., whether it’s watching Netflix or partying. Don’t sign up for the 5 A.M. CrossFit class (unless—big maybe—you’re a n...

How many of you have a specific order of products you use when you take a shower? Here’s mine: Shampoo Conditioner Body soap Face wash Shave I shower in order of most important to least important in case there is an emergency mid shower. (You never know!) Washing my hair is top priority because the suds drip over my body so if I didn’t get to body soap due to an emergency I would at least be a tiny bit cleaner. In all my years I can’t remember ever having to literally end a shower mid-way through, but there have been times when I’ve had to rush or the hot water runs out, and it’s easier to skip shaving than it is shampoo! Prioritize Your Day Whether you work at a desk all day, chipping away at a task list, or are home with your kids keeping the household running, do your most important tasks first. The sense of accomplishment of getting the Most Important Task completed propels me through the day. Maybe that task is hauling the kids to the grocery store or maybe that task...
