Time to pimp out some s***



If you don't know who Leigh Peele is, you better take notice.

Leigh is one of the industries top fat loss experts and is someone whose work I have been following a lot closer lately, and with her new project, Body By Eats getting ready to drop, now is the perfect time to look at nutrition in a whole new light.

I was lucky enough to be one of the first to be able to purchase BBE and I must say I am stoked that I was. I am just starting to get into the nuts and bolts of her new book, but the message she is trying to convey is simple: love food.

Now that might seem contradictory since now a days we are taught that food is bad, that what we eat is evil and we are going to be fat slobs by the end of the day.



But I like what Leigh has to say. So far the message I'm getting is that food is our friend, that we shouldn't be afraid to eat good tasting food, that "dieting" doesn't have to be evil.

I'm no authority on the subject as my experience is still in the growing stages but I know something good when I see it.

Keep an eye out for a full review of Leigh's book and when it's back on sale, pick yourself up a copy. You won't be disappointed.

WHAD UP LEIGH!

This post has no method to the madness

-Whole Foods is quite possibly the greatest grocery store on the planet. For those few of us who try and eat and live a healthy lifestyle, that store provides everything you need to succeed. The only bad thing is its damned expensive. I can get way more food at Albertsons, Safeway or anyother knock off of those but you sacrifice in the quality of the food.

-Listen up major corporations, if you are going to put us on hold for an extended period of time, please play us some good music. Elevator music is not good for people who are already mad and since we have been on hold for over 30 minutes, do you really think that shit makes us calm? The answer is no. Play us some good music.

-Doing a superset of heavy front squats, followed by reping out that same weight with back squats will make your ass sore for 4 days.

-Unsweetened almond milk is my new crack

-See if you can find the irony in this: fitness clubs that have a beer bar on the way out. There is a place here in SB that serves not light beer or low-calorie beer (is there really such a thing?) but rather calorie dense microbrew's. I can see having a supershake bar but a nice hoppy IPA? No wonder your clients are fat.

-There is something much more inherently erotic about daytime sex. It has a much more taboo feel to it. People should have more daytime sex but that's just me.

-Getting barreled for the first time during the surf season is a great way to kick of the winter. Up next, powder day!

-New snack I'm trying out: greek yogurt, hemp seeds and goji berries. should be interesting.

-I bought Tofurkey sausages today. what the hell is wrong with me!
