Why do we keep doing things that make us fat, miserable and fatigued?
Of course you want to be productive, happy, focused, healthy, and successful. You want it with all your being, that’s the only thing you practically think about.
So why the disconnect? Why can’t you connect your desires with your actions?
Breakfast as most know it is a sorry affair. Most of the time, you spend your breakfast time snoozing in bed, hoping to make up for skipping last night's sleep routine.
On days you do eat breakfast, it's sugary cereal or the whole-wheat, whole-grain, high-fibre, cholesterol-reducing, slightly less sugary one. Dump that in a bowl of milk and use a giant spoon to pedal ever-closer to diabetes island.
It doesn't have to be this way, you know? You can have your carby breakfast in minutes while staying full, healthy and lean for the rest of the day. How now, you say?
Feeling tired and fat? When was the last time you felt energetic and in control of your day? How do you feel right this minute?
Chronic low energy and mood is devastating for all aspects of your life, affecting you socially, financially and personally.
You probably think you need to make huge changes to feel better, but there are simple things you can do that will improve your condition both in the short and long term.
Do you throw away your laptop when it crashes? So why do you throw away your diet after a single failed meal? Why do you stop going to the gym after you miss one workout?
You will always encounter freezes and crashes in life, just like you do with your iPhone. Sometimes you might even hit a wall and feel like everything is falling apart.
What you might not know is that every one of your fit, powerful, lean, or successful role models goes through that, and they've been through it thousands of times. The difference between them and you is that they didn't chuck the phone out the window. They rebooted.
Is your homemade chicken chewy and dry? Does it taste bland and seem more like medicine than a delicacy? You are marinating it, right?
At SwolePT Kitchen Laboratories we've developed a 3-step process to the perfect chicken breast. You will never crave KFC again after tasting this.
This is the first article that we published on theSwole.com - the blog that made everything happen! I came across of it randomly and at first I felt embarrassed to even read it but after a couple of sentences thought 'eh this isn't so bad!'. So figured I'd share with you some Swole history.
‘that cometh after me, whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.’ (Matthew 3:12)
Let me first say I’m not religious in the least but sometimes we relate to fiery verses from different books. A lot of people walk into different gyms, for many it’s simply an excess they indulge in periodically. They revel in the novelty, those first days they show unparalleled dedication, their eyes fixed on unachievable goals; usually this day happens to be January first.
You see them when your lonely squat rack is now filled with a group of eager bicep-aficionados who are using the safety bars to support 56.5lbs after they had finished catabolizing their biceps. The dumbbell rack now stands busier than a Costco checkout in a recession, not because everyone is rushing to utilize the equipment but rather as it is the spot where the light casts down the most vascularizing of shadows and the 125lb dumbbells offer a fearsome foreground.
People often cringe when they think about making an omelette for breakfast, probably followed by flashbacks of Gordon Ramsey shouting “Its raw, you donkey”. It takes too much time, effort and the end result is a goey mess.
A good omelette is supposed to be crisp with a beautiful crust and firm yet fluffy consistency. You probably think you need 4 years of culinary school to achieve something like that, but you’d be wrong.
