With March just around the corner, I hear a lot of men at the gym talking about getting in shape for a trip down south to soak up some sun and escape our Canadian winter.
Many say their goal is to “get in shape” before their trip or to simply “lose some weight”
But most of these people are already doomed from the start because of how they setup their goals….
I remember meeting Dr. John Berardi (creator of Precision Nutrition) in Toronto a few years back and asking him what he thinks is the BIGGEST weight loss mistake people make?
Surprisingly, it wasn’t about protein, carbs or fat. Or even specific workouts.
It comes WAY before any of that he said…
The BIGGEST weight loss-mistake people make is in setting goals.
Don’t get me wrong, setting goals are good, but most people have it all WRONG! They don’t know the difference between a behavior goal and an outcome based goal…
Understanding this is a big eye-opener for a lot of people and it’s CRUCIAL for achieving your health and fitness goals.
A behavior goal is based on something you can directly control and do yourself; an outcome goal is based on the end product of a series of behaviors.
Most people set only outcome goals, such as the following:
* “I will lose ten pounds in ten weeks.”
* “I will bench press 250lbs this summer”
While these goals are specific and measurable and may be challenging and attainable, one problem is this: they’re outcomes. And outcomes are often beyond your control.
After all, you can’t control your fat cells and their rate of fat metabolism by just hoping they’ll shrink. And you can’t defy gravity by making 250lbs feel like 150lbs. What you can control, however, are your behaviors.
So how can you pick better goals, goals based on behaviors? Try these on for size:
Want to lose ten pounds in ten weeks? Then start by understanding what behaviors you can adopt immediately that’ll lead to this result. Make these your goals. Here are a few examples:
- I will exercise for at least 3 hours per week.
- I will eat three to five meals each day.
- I will eat vegetables with every meal.
- I will avoid alcohol this week
Hope this helps you take the actions you need to get the results you want.

Eating a quick and healthy breakfast is the BEST way to create “nutritional momentum” and eat better for the rest of the day.
Here’s a quick and tasty recipe I came up with and my whole family loved it!
…Oh and it will help you build LEAN muscle without the FAT.
Samoan Scrambled Eggs
3 free range or omega 3 eggs
2 tbsp of coconut milk
1 chopped scallion
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
freshly chopped cilantro and avocado for garnish
1 tbsp of coconut oil
-Heat coconut oil in non- stick skillet on medium heat
-Crack eggs on flat surface and place eggs in medium sized bowl
-Whisk eggs while adding coconut milk
-Pour eggs in hot pan, add scallions, salt and pepper and continue to scramble eggs gently with wooden spoon
-When eggs are firmly cooked, about 5 minutes, serve on plate garnished with cilantro and sliced avocado
Goes great with some chopped pineapple on the side!
This Samoan starts his day with a healthy breakfast…
We are all trying to find the perfect balance between our families, our fitness, and our work.
This biggest excuse people have when they are not happy in one of these areas of life is “I don’t have the time!”
But time management is a myth, you can’t really “manage” time, you can only control what you do with your time, which is the same 24 hours a day that EVERYBODY has on this planet, despite how time-crunched you might feel.
So take the time to watch this short video on how this busy dad shares how he makes work-life balance WORK…and how you can too.
Everyone wants TIGHT lean abs…and
Everyone wants to eat CHOCOLATE…especially today
(except our little daughter Matea who wanted her heart shaped candy lolipop for breakfast!)
But you can have your chocolate and abs too…here’s how…
I usually have a piece of 90% dark chocolate for a healthy dessert 3-4 days a week after supper with a glass of blueberry wine or a cup of peppermint tea.
As for the abs, you are luck, cause it’s Ballantyne’s Day!
Everyone’s favorite holiday, right? Exactly.
That means a big Ballantyne’s Day SALE is necessary, and fitness expert Craig Ballantyne is giving you huge savings on one of his best products…

But the sale ends on Wednesday of this week.
And here’s what you won’t get: Useless exercises like crunches or dangerous situps or rotational exercises.
As Men’s Health magazine recently reported, your abs are designed to resist motion, not create it. Therefore, you MUST avoid bending or twisting your spine. That means eliminating crunches, situps, and russian twists for good. That’s why those exercises are not in the TT For Abs DVDs.
