PB2 News-PB2 is now 85% less fat

I know it is an old picture, but the news is true!

Some of you may be thinking that my statement of “less fat” is a time warp back into the 1980’s. Let me get this out of the way now, so that I can get to the good stuff.

Fat is good. We love fat. We need fat.

The only reason I care is because less fat will mean less calories, more peanut butter flavor, and it helps for those dieting down on smaller calories. Good? Got it?

It seems like that not only did you, my readers, like my Fitcast appearance (my email has been blowing up) but PB2 themselves liked my Fitcast appearance. I want to give a “thank you” to Bell Plantation for kind words and I hope that they and you enjoy the recipe I shared on the show.

Peanut butter, in all forms, will one day rule the world!

If you want a jar of PB2 check out their site at http://www.bellplantation.com/

Fitcast Episode Is Up

I had a great time chatting with Kevin and Tony. I wanted to give you a preview of what we discussed and I have two words for you. Turkey Titties.

I swear I found this by typing in that.

You have no choice but to go listen to the episode now. I also talked about important issues relating to your metabolic health and gave away a super secret recipe for the new Body by Eats book. Whatever gets you there, just go there! If you are inspired to buy either of the books because of the episode (and my brilliance) do me a favor and get it through Kevin’s link on his site. Throw a little support to the host Kevin. Fitcast Episode: Leigh Peele

The Direction and Future of The Fat Loss Troubleshooter

 

I mentioned previously with the banner change/contest that the site itself was going to go through a big overhaul. The truth is that this blog is not reaching half the potential of what I want it to be or an optimal level for you the reader either. There is a lot of filler which I need to remove and maximize more content instead. I also want to put additional focus on some of the more complex aspects of dieting, my boys are being neglected a little, and training is nowhere to be seen. I want the world, but I can’t do it alone! So I need your help out there readers!

Change one: An Editor

First, I am learning to take my time with my writing. Most of the time it’s being rushed to do a thousand different things, which leads to mistakes rather than lack of understanding. For instance, I know the difference between the words ”principal” and “principle,” but I just write fast and they get mixed up in use. So, I need help to fix old posts and to double-check new ones yet I am limited on time. As a result, in the next two weeks all previous posts and articles will be edited and updated by a new editor. In addition, when I have new posts I will do my best to utilize my newly-learned skills in writing. If I slip, I can assure you my grammar coach will be on me faster than I get on you.

This is an important lesson that is applicable in multiple aspects of life. We all need accountability for something. I have taken things to another level to enhance my blog and writing. Are you doing the same thing with your fat loss?

Change two: Guest Bloggers/More Content

As I noted earlier, I realize that my schedule can keep me a little busy. Some days, like today, I get a few hours to focus on things. Other days, even weeks, I am too swamped. So I’ve recently determined that a great way to fix this time management issue of mine is to bring in some of my favorite professionals and writers to blog a thing or two for me. I have a lot of people who don’t have blogs themselves or an audience yet to speak to who would want to take advantage of the good-sized readership I have here. You don’t have to be a professional, you just have to have a good knowledge on the subject and some common sense. This isn’t about guru worship, this is about information and getting it to the masses. I want this blog to be massive in scope and the one-stop shop for fat loss information and general nutrition/training. However, like I said above, I can’t do that alone.

If you are interested in contributing to the blog or want more information on doing so please contact me here� for more information.

Change three: Layout

The current layout is not a huge deal to most of the readers but I’m giving fair notice that it’s going to be going through a few small changes here and there. If you get confused there will be a site map going up to help out. Overall, the point is to make it easier to access older posts and the goods of the site.

The actual site address is going to change too BUT you will still be able to access it through avidityfitness.net. The future site will be Thefatlosstroubleshooter.com.

Change four: Resources

The OPT program has made it even more apparent that there needs to be more specific training content and exercise demonstrations available. In addition to these materials, I want to give to you more resources to not only explain how things work with nutrition and the body, but to make it easier for you to refer to this site as a resource of information. The thing is, again, time is not of the essence, and I am knee-deep in training and personal rehab. However, although I have come to find that most of the training videos are already out there, they’re just scattered! So I am taking a cue from JP’s on Lisa (aka: “The Linkzilla”) and putting together a nice collection of approved exercise demonstrations and training movements not only for the OPT program but also in general. It should be a nice database and hopefully, it will not take very long at all.

Change five: You asked for it, you got it!

Basically if you ask for my service, you will get it the best I can give it.

However, I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what you need. I need to know from YOU what you want to see more of in general from me in terms of content.

I need you to answer these question for me in the comment section.

*Note:

    Do not have to use your real name or email for this.

I have turned off that function for this post. You do still have to fill it out, but it does not have to be valid. For example, you can put

Name: Answers

Email: answers@yahoo.com

You can also use the contact form and send them to me there. This should only take a few minutes and would really help me to help you better as a reader. For the people that do this, your answers will not be seen or approved for the public.

Thank you, all of you, for helping me build this to what it is already. I want to make it even better, but I can’t do that without you.

Here are the questions and I am looking forward to the answers.

1. Age/Sex
2. Do you find you need help more with:
Training
Diet
Motivation
All of the Above
3. Do you like more direct and to the point content or making things fun a little but still with content?
4. Do you enjoy having the ability to debate a little and talk about more “taboo” content?
5. What do you feel is lacking the most for fat loss information out there and blogging?
6. What do you like about what I do most and why do you keep coming back?
7. Would you be interested in free teleconferences?
8. What guest bloggers specifically would you like to see?
