Does steak color matter?

Steak color variations are a result of oxidation, a natural process where oxygen interacts with myoglobin in the beef. This can cause the meat to change from red to purple, gray, or other colors, and it’s unrelated to the cow’s diet.

It’s ironic that Paul is attributing this color change (and subsequent nutritional desirability) to grass, considering he’s publicly dismissed the nutritional value of vegetables and often demonizes them on social media.

I know that Paul has made the claim that cattle can absorb nutrients from plants but… human beings are omnivores – we are able to garner nutrients from BOTH vegetables and meat sources.

Regarding Paul’s points on regenerative farming… I’m cautiously optimistic. However, without proper regulation, there’s currently no accountability for farms using terms like organic, regenerative, or restorative.

This post is misleading nonsense.

Progressive overload

You shouldn’t be progressively overloading in the gym.

SIKE… That’s just clickbait. Here’s what you actually shouldn’t be doing:

You shouldn’t be adding 20lbs to your working weight every session. You also shouldn’t be adding 10 reps each time you lift. Progress doesn’t happen that fast—it’s much more gradual. Real progress looks like adding 2.5 lbs per side or maybe just 1 more rep per week on a lift.

If you’re progressing too quickly, you’re likely not pushing yourself hard enough in the first place.

But hey, if you realize you’ve been holding back, don’t dwell on it—just make a change. Moving forward, you need to truly challenge yourself. Progress will slow down, and every small improvement will take more effort.

Most weeks, I’m fighting for 5 more pounds or 1 extra rep on each set of an exercise.

That’s a good thing. Slower progress means you’re working at the right intensity and actually pushing yourself in the gym. This is true progressive overload and this is where change happens.

Product Review: Magic Spoon Treats

Product Review: @MagicSpoonCereal Treats.

These treats are very similar to Rice Crispy Treats but with very fun flavors such as Marshmallow, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Blueberry Muffin, and Double Chocolate. Today, I’m trying Double Chocolate and Chocolate Peanut Butter.

Both of these are 140 calories, 12g protein, and 7g fiber. The macros are good even though they don’t pass The Protein Test – remember: 10g of protein per every 100 calories.

The taste? They’re decent. They taste great on first bite but I become fairly indifferent as I continue to chew on it. It’s a decent alternative to Rice Crispy Treats, however, I definitely prefer @Promix Protein Puff Bars. Promix Puff Bars are 150 calories, 15g protein, and 5g fiber.

In short, I would opt for Promix but am pleasantly surprised with Magic Spoon Treats.
