Weight Gain 201

April 21, 2014

In our last article, we talked about dietary factors related to building muscle. Now let’s talk about the myriad of factors that influence muscle growth other than what you eat. While food is undoubtedly a significant influence on one’s ability to build muscle mass, we see at least as many people with non-food roadblocks to muscle growth as those that are simply not eating, digesting and absorbing enough nutritious food. In most cases, these non-food issues all orbit around the concept of … [Read more...]

Weight Gain 101

April 8, 2014

or, Why You’re Still Skinny Skinny. Scrawny. Underweight. Lanky. Hard-gainer. Ectomorph. These are all different (and not typically complimentary) terms for people who are naturally predisposed to a leaner body type with less muscle mass compared to people who gain (and maintain) both  muscle and fat more easily. I’m sure you know someone who fits each of these types: the friend who can eat anything she wants (pizza! brownies! ice cream!) and still keep her stomach just as ripped as ever, and … [Read more...]

You Ask, We Answer: “Do You Ever Cheat?”

February 17, 2014

At a local seminar last week, an attendee asked Melissa, "Do you ever cheat?" There was so much to this question: We don't call it a cheat, because we're doing nothing wrong. We aren't perfect eaters, because no one is, and we don't expect you to be either. Yes, we indulge, when we decide it's worth it. In essence, we practice what we preach.* That brought to mind this post, originally written after a trip to Mexico in 2011. It's a good reminder for those who have been following us a while, … [Read more...]

The Real Food Champion

January 27, 2014

A Whole9 South Pacific feature.  Performance does not equal health. Many of you will be well familiar with this adage, or (if you've attended one of our seminars) the health versus performance curve. This curve shows two paths (performance and health), rising gradually together and very closely following each other for a good amount of time—until at some point, the paths diverge. Performance continues to increase, while health decrease. In simple words, as you strive for peak performance in … [Read more...]
