Last week, I discussed how I went from following a ketogenic nutrition plan to eating what could best be described as “normal.” My only goals for nutrition are to stay within my calories / macros, and eat as clean as possible. Right now, I’m bulking, which means a lot of food over the course of…
Disclaimer: If you’re happy with your keto diet, I’m not here to convert you over to eating carbs– Merely here to help inform. I used to follow a ketogenic nutrition plan– I did carb cycling as a way to try and burn fat faster. I would eat “No Carb” on my non training days (Less…
It’s fall, and that means that most people will be starting up their bulking cycles– I know I will be soon. Why fall, though, and why bulk at all? Well, to start, physique competitions take place in the spring, summer, and early fall, so you use fall and winter to bulk, and spring to cut…

A lot of people have a tendency to get too crazy with not just their workout routines, but their nutrition plans and everything else in life– I foresee it will only get worse as time goes on because of the overabundance of information out there, and the Internet makes everyone feel like what they’re saying…
I’ve seen a lot of misconceptions around organic foods thrown around, and I figured it would be a great idea to clear up a few of these ideas. First, let’s start by saying that I am all for organic food, and I’m all for “conventional food;” Whatever fits into your lifestyle, your budget, your goals,…
