Nutrition is messy
I want to bring a tiny bit of clarity to this messy mess called nutrition. Because the most common question I get is about what is a vegetable and what is not, today I'll share with you an easy way to classify plant foods nutritionally. No debates, no feuds, no tribes, no bull 💩.
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.

What the F#@%$ck is Recovery?
So is napping recovery? Is stretching better than rolling? What do you mean I should not be sore. No pain, no gain, dude! Of course I want to sleep better and longer, but then at what time do I work out if I am effing sleeping 8 hours? Should I ice or not? Should I run on my recovery days or should I do yoga? Why is Francine talking to me about floating chambers, and why is Henrick massaging himself weirdly with that percussion drill.

Recovery is a weird topic, full of crazy things, and a lot of sci-fi marketing. In other words, what the fuck is recovery?

Be the horse
If you had worked with me on nutrition or fitness, you most likely have heard me comparing you to a horse or a dog. Some people don't like it. Some look at me with a wtf face. It is simple though. I ask my athlete: "if you wanted to make this hypothetical horse into the fittest horse you could, how would that look? How does that compare to what you are doing to yourself?" It is one of my secret weapons.
