You do not need to eat your kids’ food, especially their Halloween candy. Here are a few alternatives to throwing it out:

🍬Take it to work
🍬Donate it

If neither of these seem realistic to you or you’re in the heat of the moment, just get rid of it. You’re not making the world a better place by eating your kids’ candy instead of throwing it away.

Everybody likes a great triceps pump, but the issue with is it ends up becoming an issue with scapular stability because you can’t keep your shoulder blades retracted. Let me show you a better way.

We’re going to take a seat on the bench and use this as a tactile cue (a point of contact that helps us keep our shoulder blades squeezed around the object) so we can put all the emphasis on our arms and not on our shoulders.

Do you have an issue keeping your shoulder blades together and want to learn how to address it further? Comment below and we may do a video on it.

Zone 2 cardio should be 80% of your cardio, leaving room for the other 20% to be what you enjoy or some sort of HIIT-style cardio. The only exception to this is if you have a specific sport or hobby that requires you to do a majority of your cardio in a different zone (ie maybe if you play a sport like lacrosse or if you are intensely training for a marathon). Zone 2 cardio is keeping your heart rate between 110-130 BPM. The American Heart Association recommendation is 75 mins of intense cardio or 150 mins of moderate cardio weekly.

Some of the benefits of zone 2 cardio are:
💥Lowers resting heart rate
💥Decreases blood pressure
💥Increases mitochondrial efficiency
💥Improves insulin resistance

Halloween 🎃🍫🍬 Regardless of how well you prepare you’re probably going to be surrounded by candy. I often tell you that discipline is a fallacy, but in this case despite your preparation there are moments you’re going to have to rely on simply saying no. Remember:

1️⃣ There are no magic foods. Having a piece of candy will not ruin your fat loss progress.

2️⃣ Know thyself. Can you eat a single piece of candy like a complete sociopath, or are you like me and if you eat one fun size Snickers you’re going to eat 100 fun size Snickers?

3️⃣ Having candy around that you don’t enjoy is easier than having candy you do enjoy. If your kids bring home your favorite candy, make it magically disappear in the middle of the night.

Fun size candy bars can feel harmless. They’re intended to hand out to kids on Halloween, but let’s face it, you can end up bingeing on them easily. One thing leads to another and you’ve eaten an entire bag, 1500 calories worth of Halloween candy.

2️⃣ fun size Snickers = handful of Lay’s potato chips 🥔

3️⃣ fun size Snickers = regular size Snickers bar 🍫 or a small McDonald’s French fry 🍟

4️⃣ fun size Snickers = slice of pepperoni pizza 🍕

Think about calories as a budget. There’s a difference between going out and spending $200 and $1500. The same is true of having 3 fun size Snickers vs an entire bag.

Snickers is America’s third-leading candy bar and just a personal favorite of mine. The macros on this Snickers protein bar aren’t stellar, it doesn’t even pass the test of 10g protein per 100 calories.
When people complain about protein bar taste, it’s often the texture. Quest protein bars are too hard, Built bars are too chewy, this Snickers protein bar tastes pretty damn good and the texture is very much like a candy bar.
