Product Review: Just Meats

This is a meal prep company that had the genius idea of prepping just the protein. They fully cook the meat, chill it, then mail it directly to you.

Why do I think this is a genius idea? Most of the time, cooking the proteins is the most arduous part of meal prepping.

Secondly, some meal prep items simply do not travel well. For example, rice. Even if you cook rice at home, a couple of days later, it’ll taste like 💩.

Just Meats gets around this by focusing solely on the protein so there’s no rice or limp vegetables traveling with your meals.

I absolutely love that all of the meats pass The Protein Test (10g of protein for every 100 calories) – even with the included sauce, these are all high protein options.

Just remember that when you are cooking the meats, you are following the provided instructions. It’s very easy for meats to get rubbery or dry if they are cooked for too long.

I continue to use @GreenLifeNY for my own personal meal prep company, but if you are outside of the Westchester area, Just Meats is a fantastic option.

One of the biggest scams in the fitness industry is ice baths.

It is absolutely not an alternative to exercise, it does not help with recovery – it actually jacks your cortisol levels – and it does absolutely nothing in regards to weight loss.

This doesn’t mean that it doesn’t serve any purpose at all.

What it was intended to be used for was athletes because it helps diminish soreness. It can also be useful for endurance runners who have a lot of running volume because it can reduce soreness. If an athlete is sore, it can hinder their performance.

So, if you’re an athlete or a high-volume runner, it can be useful for you. But for most people, it’s a waste of time and money.

What ice baths have been reduced to is a social media flex. It’s easier to jump in an ice bath online than to squat with progressive overload for 10 years. Getting into an ice bath may require discipline but nowhere near the amount of discipline needed to diet to the point of getting abs.

I’m not saying that ice baths are bad – I’m just saying they are grossly overused and often not for their intended purpose.

Product Review: @Crisp.Power Protein Pretzels🥨

💸COST: $20 for a 6-pack of the smaller bags. That’s around $3 a bag which I think is super reasonable for a protein product these days.

🍽️MACROS: 110 calories and 15g protein – so it passes The Protein Test.

🥬FIBER: The fiber is 6g per serving which we LOVE here. In addition to passing The Protein Test, we get 6g of fiber which will help you feel fuller for longer.

🤤TASTE: Crispy, savory, really good. It doesn’t taste exactly like a pretzel but this would definitely help fulfill the pretzel craving.

💭MY THOUGHTS: I would definitely recommend this if you’re a pretzel lover looking to find a protein and fiber-rich alternative. The cost isn’t outrageous and the macros are great. Do I think this tastes like a @Snyders_Hanover or @DotsPretzels? Not exactly – but I could sit down in front of the TV and eat these just as easily.

Today’s video is a bit of a throwback.

About 5 months ago, I was working out in a simple home gym with just the basics. Since this video, I’ve added more equipment, giving me a greater variety in my lifts.

I’m sharing this older footage to show that even with minimal equipment–like a cable pulley system or bands, a TRX, and dumbbells–you can still get in a solid, effective workout.

Here’s what this home gym back workout looked like:

Warm-up TRX rows 1×8-10
Chin-ups 3×8-10
Overhead Cable Curls 2×15
Seated Dumbbell Curls 2×12-15
Neutral Grip Single Arm Pull-Down 3×10
Reverse Cable Flys 4×12

📌TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 | Intro
0:25 | Warm-up TRX rows
1:25 | Chin-ups
3:26 | Overhead cable curls
4:10 | Seated dumbbell curls
6:47 | Neutral grip single arm pull-down
8:33 | Reverse cable flys
10:00 | Outro

I’ve been seeing a lot of influencers lately making claims about the color of foods and what that supposedly means for nutrition… In this video, the gentleman compares Alaskan to sockeye salmon.

Alaskan salmon, whether farm-raised or wild-caught, is going to be a pinkish hue. Whereas sockeye salmon, whether farm-raised or wild caught, is going to be a reddish hue. The color difference has nothing to do with nutritional value.

Social media is incredible because anybody can get on their phone and reach the masses. It’s an incredible tool to market yourself or your business. Even myself, I’m only on social media because I have a business.

I was originally a personal trainer who wanted to grow my business. And even now, I have an online coaching business on top of an in-person training business. That’s why I’m on social media. I’m a practitioner.

There are also researchers who post on social media. These people conduct research which is vital to our understanding on any subject.
Both practitioners and researchers further our understanding of any given topic. People are entitled to their personal experiences, however, this can be anecdotal.

Just be mindful who you’re listening to on health, nutrition, and fitness online. Just ask yourself if they are a practitioner or a researcher or are they simply an influencer and their experiences are limited to those of which they have had themselves.

This doesn’t mean that influencers’ experiences are wrong or hold no value – it just means that they can be limited due to it only being their experience.

We’re back at @JerseyMikes ordering a diet-friendly sandwich:

〰️ Number 9 (Club Supreme)
〰️ White bread
〰️ Swiss
〰️ No mayo
〰️ No oil

This order is 390 calories, 35g protein, and 3g of fiber. For the mini size, these are pretty decent macros.

This is a fantastic option at Jersey Mike’s to help keep your diet on track.
