I was talking to a gastroenterologist yesterday.
I asked him, why are so many young (people in their 20’s) people getting colon cancer?
His response without any hesitation was, “ultra processed foods”.
That’s it, he said. That’s the number one reason why young people are getting colon cancer, because they grow up eating shit.
This is why it’s important to teach children what to eat at an early age.
This is why it’s important to not have any crap in the house.
Mcdonald’s, Starbucks, Chick Filet, Dominoes, KFC, Burger King, Wendy’s, they all do a terrific job of making sure they appeal to children so they can get them hooked at an early age.
Meanwhile, it’s fuckin poison.
These companies are making a shit ton of money at children’s expense.
Ultra processed foods are loaded with calories and lack any nutrients whatsoever.
They interfere with natural growth, behavior, and long-term metabolic health.
Frequent consumption during early developmental years can alter brain chemistry, disrupt gut health, and establish unhealthy, lifelong dietary habits.

Obesity & Metabolic Issues: UPFs stimulate reward centers in the brain, causing children to overconsume even when full. High amounts of added sugars and unhealthy fats lead to increased BMI, insulin resistance, and a significantly higher risk of Type 2 diabetes.
Behavior & Mood: Diets high in UPFs cause rapid blood sugar spikes and crashes, triggering stress hormones that result in irritability, hyperactivity, and temper tantrums. Studies link early UPF consumption to adverse behavioral and emotional outcomes.
Learning & Cognitive Development: The artificial ingredients, dyes, and lack of essential nutrients in UPFs can interfere with healthy brain development and attention span, leading to learning and memory challenges.
Gut Health: Heavy processing strips foods of natural fibers, which disrupts the gut microbiome. This imbalance compromises a child’s immune system and how their body converts food into usable energy.

Did you read this????
It’s fucking disgusting, profits over children’s health.
These people should be tortured and hanged.

Crossfit Syosset/ Thursday, June 11th

The CrossFit nutrition recommendation for “eating for wellness” is to eat meat, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. We describe this as “eating for wellness” because those who change their lifestyle to eat this way can expect to see their health markers move from sickness to wellness on the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum. Even those who are already well can expect to see improvements as they clean up their diet a little by replacing processed foods with whole, natural foods.

The most common critique received for this recommendation is that sugar is found in foods such as fruit, tubers, and even vegetables. This is true, but when we say “no sugar,” we mean no added sugar. This means we want you to avoid processed sugars and even sugar substitutes for the bulk of your diet. These include table sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, synthetic sweeteners, natural sweeteners, honey, syrups, etc. The occasional natural sweetener (honey, agave nectar, monk fruit, stevia, etc.) is likely nothing to worry about. But if you are a sugar addict and replace all your sugar consumption with natural sweeteners, you could potentially run into some issues. Though the research seems to be inconclusive, the potential risks involved with consuming sweeteners are increased cravings for sweet foods and gut issues (1, 2). Food gurus will counter these claims with claims of their own, stating that sweeteners are a perfectly safe alternative to sugar. This is the nature of nutrition science; the field is riddled with inconclusive and ideological claims. Think about it as a hierarchy. We are not sure what the actual implications of using sweeteners are. We do know that overeating processed carbohydrates can lead to a whole host of health issues (3). And we know that the safest way to eat carbohydrates is in their whole and natural state. This is why the CrossFit recommendation is to eat quality vegetables, fruits, and sources of starch while avoiding added sugar and sweeteners.

The natural sugar in carbohydrates eaten in their whole, natural forms — such as that found in fruit, sweet potatoes, carrots, or Brussels sprouts — is much less of an issue because there is a lot less of it there than in processed foods. Plus, whole, natural foods contain fiber, which provides satiety and helps slow down the amount of sugar released into the blood (4). When carbohydrates are processed, such as in high-fructose corn syrup, sucrose (table sugar), or even fruit juices, the fiber is removed, broken down, or pulverized to reduce its effects. This inevitably reduces the satiety effects of these foods and sends glucose and fructose into the blood at a much quicker rate (5). So, eating whole, natural sources of carbohydrates will help you reach the feeling of satiety quicker, and the fiber will prevent large spikes in blood glucose.

There are folks who state that foods such as fruits or vegetables should be left out of the diet. Though this may be true for those who have a food sensitivity, are severely metabolically deranged, or have some other medical condition, generally these foods are tolerated well and can be used in a diet targeting wellness. That said, there is always an opportunity to explore different macronutrient ratios when trying to optimize health and performance. There are some athletes who will thrive on fewer carbohydrates and others who perform better with more. When it comes to marrying health and performance, we are less concerned with how much and more concerned with what kind — or better yet, what quality — of carbohydrate you are eating (6).

CrossFit recommends eating meat, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar when eating for wellness. “No sugar” does not mean you are avoiding naturally occurring sugar in whole, natural foods. It means for the bulk of your diet, you are not eating added, processed sugars or synthetic sweeteners.

If you’re fat and trying to drop some chunkies don’t eat fruit, or nuts, or seeds.
Just eat MEAT, CHICKEN, FISH AND EGGS. Maybe some broccoli, spinach, asparagus or broccoli rabe with garlic and oil.

I’m curious, what do you hear when I say, MEAT, CHICKEN, FISH, AND EGGS?
Why is it when I randomly ask you what you ate yesterday, over the weekend, or whatever, there’s always talk of beans, tofu, flaxseed, yogurt, quinoa, lentils, chickpeas, etc… ?
Where the fuck in the words MEAT, CHICKEN, FISH, AND EGGS does it mention all these silly foods?
It doesn’t, do you know why it doesn’t?
Cause they’re fuckin stupid! Yes, a food can be stupid.
Why does this have to be so fuckin difficult?
It’s very simple, If what you are eating isn’t MEAT, CHICKEN, FISH OR EGGS, YOU DON’T EAT IT!
Unless you’re having a cheat meal, you don’t need variety, variety is for people who don’t give a fuck about how they look.
You know how this works best? You eat the same fucking thing every fuckin day!
That’s it! Don’t make this more that it needs to be.
Variety fucks up the mind, you start eating outside the guidelines I’ve given you and the next thing you know you’re scoffing down french toast sticks and cinnamon rolls just cause you’re confused!
Don’t confuse yourself, this is no different than anything else you do.
You drive on the right side of the road, right!
You go to the same place of work everyday, right!
You brush your teeth with the same tooth brush everyday, correct?
You put the same moisturizer and all that other shit all over your face everyday, correct?
Then why the fuck do you need to eat something different everyday!
Listen to me!!!
Look at Annie, she’ll be 67 years old in 11 days and she looks like she’s 25! All because she stopped eating bagels and eats the same fuckin thing every fuckin day!
All the crap she puts on her face might have something to do with this, but it’s mainly because she eats well and it’s the same thing everyday.
Smarten up and stop pretending you need to taste different foods or else you’ll get bored.
If you’re bored with the food you eat you’re life’s to easy.

Crossfit Syosset/ Monday, June 8th

Why do you never answer any fuckin questions I ask you?
Please answer the following question.
What is the main reason you workout????
I’m curious, because if it’s for health reasons and you think that working out alone keeps you healthy while you still stuff your face and pour poison into your body on a daily basis, that makes no fuckin sense.
If you workout for aesthetic purposes but do not couple training with eating well, that even makes less fuckin sense. At least if you’re doing it for health reasons you can convince yourself that you’re healthy cause you can’t see your insides, but it’s easy to see what you look like.
Does your training have nothing to do with aesthetics or for health reasons?
Do you train so that you can eat shit?
Does your training justify your poor eating habits?
If this is the case, you’d have to train like a professional athlete to combat the amount of shit your shoveling down your throat everyday.
Eating well and training is a package deal.
So, unless you just love to workout and don’t care about your health, how you look or feel, none of this makes sense.
Basically what I’m saying is, YOU NEED TO EAT HEALTHY AND TRAIN!!!!
It’s that fuckin simple, there’s not secret way of training that’s gonna cause you to lose weight if you’re eating fuckin bagels, cookies, cake, and ice cream everyday!
You can sweat all you want running yourself into the ground doing cardio all day long, it’s not gonna work.
Actually that’s the worst fuckin thing you can do!
LIFT FUCKIN WEIGHTS!!!!
LIFT HEAVY SHIT, EAT MEAT, CHICKEN, FISH, EGGS, AND VEGETABLES!!!!
THAT’S IT!!!
STOP WITH THE STUPID FUCKIN DIETS AND STUPID FUCKIN WORKOUTS
THERE’S JUST EATING WELL AND LIFTING HEAVY SHIT!!
THAT’S IT!
IF YOU’RE TRYING SOMETHING ELSE IT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE TO UNDISCIPLINED AND FUCKIN LAZY TO EAT WELL AND LIFT HEAVY SHIT!

I have a question. I’ve probably asked this question several times in the past but I don’t remember so it’s new to me.
Here’s the question.
If you haven’t been eating well and then see some stupid video on social media that makes you want to start eating well, what do you tell yourself as far as what will keep you motivated to take on this new endeavor?
Do you even give yourself a reason or go at it willy nilly?
Mitch decided to take a ride on the shame train and start eating well when he saw his body fat percentage was a lot higher than he expected it to be, it was 22%.
High for a superior athlete like himself.
With feelings of embarrassment, disgust and humiliation Mitch went at this full steam ahead and started eating better right after he saw that diabolical number, 22%.
Other than when he hurt his back 6 months ago and hasn’t been able to lift since, I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw Mitch as upset as he was when that number popped up on the screen, 22%.
This awkward 22% situation took place this past Monday, 4 days ago.
Mitch did well, Monday night he had some meat and vegetables, feeling energized and ready to take on the blubber battle he woke up on Tuesday continuing to fight against his plight.
Leading into Wednesday Mitch was on a roll, Two full days of eating well, he thought to himself, “this is cake, I got this!”
Little did Mitch know it would be cake that did him in. Mitch decided to go to accept a birthday party invite instead of passing it up knowing good and well that there would be temptation.
Judging by Mitch’s wise choices for dinner, even his friends advised against him having the cake as not to deter him from reaching his goal of losing the chunk.
But, Mitch wouldn’t have it, with determination to stay at 22% Mitch blurted out, “Lemme get some cake, and make it snappy!”
As I’ve said in the past having sweets every so often isn’t a bad thing, it can actually be beneficial both psychologically and physiologically boosting mood and help with feelings of deprivation.
For Mitch, however, he was only 48 hours into his quest, so what went wrong?
What went wrong Mitch?
I really don’t understand it. If you were so upset at yourself for being 22%, why would you ruin it by eating cake only two days in?
Maybe Mitch didn’t have a strong enough “why”?
What’s the lesson here?

Who eats well during the week and dicks around on the weekends?
Are you really eating well during the week or do you just not eat as poorly as you do on the weekends so you think you’re eating well in comparison to the weekends?
What is it about the weekends that makes you feel like you have to stuff your face for two days straight?
I’m pretty sure if you’re one of these people, your weekends start on Friday, and you probably don’t even wait till Friday night.
Do you consider this situation eating 90/10 or 80/20? Cause it’s not, not even close.
Let’s say you are a woman who has an average of 1500 calories a day during the week which would be 7500 cals for the weekdays and then blow up over the weekend having baked goods, ice cream, and other sweets till you’re pissin out your asshole equating to 6000 calories for the weekend.
Which isn’t hard to do if you’re eating all the shit I just mentioned, that would be almost as many calories in 2 days as you did the previous 5.
If you are supposed to be having 1500 calories a day, that would equal 10,500 but because you can’t control yourself over the weekends you’ve just added a surplus of 3000 calories for the week, which would be just under a pound, that’s 4 lb’s a month you would be adding and you wonder why you’re not losing weight eating well during the week.
This is retarded. You know what’s not retarded?
Eating 1500 calories a day for 7 straight days. You’ll lose weight and look how you want to look.
What’s with the weekends anyway? Who invented the whole thing about stuffing your faces and letting go on the weekends?
You’re either all in or you’re fat.
