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.

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.

Product Review: @JustMeats.co

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.

3️⃣ Turkey sous vide + butternut squash = simple early Thanksgiving option

A very special Transformation Spotlight for our COO, Michelle, @meesh.ard, and her many successes. Here is what her journey has looked like navigating a very demanding career working for me with two young girls:

Michelle has always had a passion for health and fitness that has been cultivated by her 15 years of experience in the corporate fitness world. After having kids she found it difficult to create a new routine that allowed her to prioritize her health and fitness while also being the mother she strived to be! Michelle is a powerhouse; she gives her all to everything she sets her mind to and that is a big reason why Jacob Zemer LLC has excelled.

That is when she reached out to Elise @barbellsandfoodscience_, our Director of Coaching, to help her create a nutrition plan that worked with her current busy lifestyle as a mother, wife, and COO.

They really worked on tracking her intake accurately with the help of a food scale and creating simple and delicious meals that she could throw together quickly or make for the whole family! Michelle’s progressive programming, newfound nutrition approach, and discipline led to an outstanding transformation mind, body, and soul!

What do I think about Group Fitness?

Something that is tailored specifically to you is always going to be superior to something that is completely generic to all people.

If you have money, spend it. What I mean by this is there are people out there (coaches, personal trainers) who are able to customize your programming. If you have the means to pay someone to listen to your goals and implement that into your training, DO IT.

Group Fitness is great for beginners, an excellent way to burn calories, make friends, develop a sense of community, and have additional accountability. But the fact of the matter is that everyone in that class is doing the same exact thing. Everyone has different goals with their physique, so this isn’t as effective as hiring someone to achieve your unique goals.

Specific results require specific training.

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.
