Without any further ado, let’s get started..
N.W.A. Tip Of The Week
Each week, I take on 3-4 new, 1:1 clients.
On Friday afternoon, I sit down and create each new client an onboarding video, walking them through their program, and giving them some tips and tricks to ensure their success.
The #1 tip I give to every client when it comes to nutrition is simple:
Never, EVER wake up without knowing what you will be eating that day.
If you want to be a skilled dieter, this is non-negotiable.
You should never wake up, open up the fridge and think, “Gee, what am I going to eat for breakfast today?”
You never want to rely on “willpower” when it comes to your decision making.
Instead, you want to rely on “discipline”.
You want to be planning your meals at least one day in advance.
Before you go to bed, you should take 5 minutes and create your menu for the following day.
Be specific; don’t just say “chicken”.
Say “12 ounces of grilled chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup of white rice and steamed broccoli”.
Many of my clients go even further than one day in advance – they meal prep on the weekends.
They create their menu for the full week, they go to the grocer, and they buy all the food and items they will need for the week.
I’m one of those people myself; when I wake up on Monday morning, I know exactly what I’m going to eat for every meal, Monday through Friday.
I started that habit back when I was teaching, and it’s always stuck with me.
I never have to think about food – I just eat my next meal without giving my decision any conscious thought.
When you constantly have to make choices throughout the day, you aren’t relying on discipline; you are relying on willpower.
Willpower is not an infinite resource; you can “run out” of willpower.
If you have to use your willpower all day long by making food choices, by the end of the day, your willpower meter will be tapped.
You’re prone to making a bad dietary choice at that point.
Instead, if you preserve all of your willpower throughout the day by being disciplined, you’ll have plenty in reserve in the evening when that bowl of ice cream is calling your name.
Always have a plan.
Always be ready.
Always be prepared.
It’s the best way to ensure you accomplish your goals in a timely fashion.
I’ve been coaching men and women in 1:1, personalized protocols since 2013.
Here’s an example from Sam – he lost 50 pounds in my program and now has a 6 pack at the age of 49:

3 strength training sessions per week for 45 minutes is all you need to get into fantastic shape, boost your testosterone, shred fat, and build muscle.
If you can’t commit to something so simple, you don’t have the right to complain that you’re out of shape.
