Stay Active
No matter what. I could drop the mic there and leave. But I will not. Get this. Your brain does not function as well when you are inactive. You are not as productive and your thinking is not as sharp. I am not talking about being super fit and lifting all the weights and doing...
Refreshing or weary? Diet sodas, ditch them, or drink them?
To diet soda or regular soda ... or not soda? I get the question regarding non-caloric sweetened drinks a lot. It is a good showcase of the standard nutritional problem we face nowadays. It has all the elements that make this kind of discussion entrenched and complicated: cultural beliefs of what we should or not consume, product marketing, incomplete science, and the fact that Coke is delicious. Like everything else, there is not one straightforward answer. However, in this video, I give you my view on the topic. You should come out of it with some ideas on how to decide for yourself.

F.N.A.Q.: Losing Weight, Making Gainz?
You probably know it by now. I have things to say. Thanks to the questions and lessons I learned from you, I always have a big list of blog ideas, video ideas, Instagram ideas, and even book ideas. Sometimes in those lists, patterns emerge. I see common beliefs and cultural practices that end-up messing up my athletes. They usually take the form of "evident truths" that don't need to be questioned. What I have found out is that the opposite is correct. They need to be challenged. Moreover, they need to be aggressively examined. Because of that, I have created the series: "Frequently not asked questions". Today's video is the first of this series and it has to do with losing weight and athletic performance. Watch it and let me know what you think.

Food and Flow
Let's talk food today! In my years of helping people change their eating habits, I have learned so much about human behavior. Nothing really comes close to it. Running and Olympic lifting are fantastic, don't get me wrong, but changing the way we eat is another beast. One of the most exciting things I have learned is that switching the attention to why and how to eat often solves the problem of what to eat. This is a very counter-culture concept, I know. We are always worried about meal-plans, macro-nutrients, keto, paleo, no diary, supplements, and whatnot. However, we never stop to consider our eating habits from a more significant and more meaningful perspective. I get it. Our lives are busy, thinking is hard --I am not being sarcastic, and having a critical approach to our behavioral habits, it is exhausting.
