1 - Berardi's 10 Simple Nutrition Habits
If you want to lose fat, gain muscle, and improve performance, then it makes sense to go to the experts that have achieved this with themselves and with thousands of clients. For fat loss workouts, my Turbulence Training workouts may be hard, but they are also efficient and incredibly effective. As for nutrition, there may be no one better than Dr. John Berardi.
John's list of accomplishments are long and distinguished:
· A former national level bodybuilder
· A current professor at the University of Texas at Austin
· President of Science Link, Inc - Translating Research Into Results
· Author of 3 books: Gourmet Nutrition, From Scrawny to Brawny (www.scrawnytobrawny.com), and Rev It Up (to be released in Dec 2005).
I learn from John every chance that I get. Why? Because he knows a lot about what is arguably the most important part of the fat loss equation - nutrition.
CB:
What is your nutritional philosophy/approach to healthy eating?
JB:
My nutritional philosophy can best be described by, what I call, "The Intersection." Every nutritional program I design is carefully laid out in order to find the intersection of three equally important goals.
Goal #1 - Improved health
Goal #2 - Improved body composition
Goal #3 - Improved performance (athletic performance or improved daily activity)
Why do I make this distinction? Well, oddly enough, most nutritionists focus on one of these goals and design nutrition programs based on that goal - to the exclusion on the others. Unfortunately, what they (and their hard-working clients) don't understand is this - it's possible, dare I say easy, to design a program that meets all three criterion; improving health, improving body composition, and improving performance. But you've gotta know how to do it and you've gotta be really aware of what you're trying to accomplish as a nutritionist.
You see, there are some nutrition programs that improve health alone but not athletic performance or body composition. So you're better on the inside but your outside still suffers.
And there are some nutrition programs that improve body composition alone but sometimes these plans actually cause negative health consequences and a reduction in performance. So you end up looking better but feeling lousy and on the road to health problems.
Finally, there are some programs that improve performance but sometimes these plans can degrade health and body composition. So you can run faster but your body doesn't look better nor are you healthier.
So, in the end, it should be obvious that any good nutritionist will consider the three most important goals - improving health, improving body composition, and improving performance - and design programs that find the intersection of the three. So it's only in the careful use of "The Intersection" that the best nutritional plans are made.
CB:
So if someone really wants to master their health, body composition, and performance, their best advice is to find a nutrition coach who understands how to take into account all the complex factors that contribute to each AND who can translate all this complexity into simple, easy to follow habits?
JB:
That's right.
The best training and nutrition experts take worlds of research and experience and distill this huge body of information into simple, easy to follow systems. In our book, Gourmet Nutrition, Dr John Williams and I do a good job of distilling thousands of research studies into 10 simple 'habits' that people can follow to find their own personal 'intersection.'
So don't get fooled by "experts" who turn their explanations into labyrinths of complexity. Either they don't really know what the heck they're talking about or they simply don't know how to communicate well. Elegant and simple advice is always the way to go. As long as "simple" doesn't mean "simplistic."
CB:
So what are these 10 habits?
JB:

2 - Exercise of the Week: The Front Squat
The front squat is an incredible mass-building exercise that I use in my TT for Mass program. It's a variation of the traditional squat and helps to add big time mass to the quads and glutes.
Front Squat
· Set the bar up at chest level in the squat rack.
· Step under the bar and rest the barbell the anterior deltoids (shoulders).
· Support the bar in that position by bending your elbows and extending your wrists back. Your elbows should point directly ahead. If you have flexibility issues, use less weight until you can achieve proper form.
· Your grip on the bar should be narrow, yet comfortable.
· Position the feet and hips under bar, take it off the rack and take 2 small steps back.
· Your feet should be just greater than shoulder-width apart.
· Start the movement at the hip joint. Push your butt backward and 'sit back into a chair'. Make your butt go back as far as possible and keep your knees out.
· Squat as deep as possible, but keep your low back in an arched position.
· Push with your buttocks, hamstrings, and quadriceps to return to the start position.

"Thanks Craig, this
this. I have already downloaded Get Lean and Beginner Fat Loss Tips and
glanced through them, some really good stuff. I'm planning on printing out
most of these and having a "CB" section in my fitness library."

"At the end of week one, I lost 3.5 pounds and I was feeling great. Yesterday was the end of week two and I lost 3 more pounds! Six and a half pounds in two weeks and I feel outstanding. Not the least bit tired or weak. I've never been so enthusiastic about each workout. I didn't bother to take a 'before' photo, but I may still do that. I would have touched base with you sooner, but with work, school, training, etc., I'm always pressed for time. And of course, that's what makes Turbulence Training such a convenient program."
