Q: I'm so glad I found a blog run by someone who is educated in health and fitness! you give really good advice :) So my question is, what can I do with my diet to make up for the fact that I literally cannot eat most vegetables? As in I gag and get nauseous when I eat anything except peas, kale, spinach, and carrots.
A:
First thank you so much for the kind words I am glad you find this blog to be helpful :) What I would do is take a vitamin/mineral supplement which can help you get the vitamins and minerals that you are missing by not eating specific kinds of vegetables. And then I would also look for alternative foods that offer the vitamins and minerals you are missing. For example, I cannot eat dairy so to get my calcium needs I replace dairy with other sources of calcium such as vegetables, nuts, fruits, and grains. So be creative for your nutrition needs. Great great question. Hope that answer helps :) and thanks again for reading my blog.

Q: I'm afraid from my days training in MMA that I have injured my rotator cuff. As I'm trying to get back in shape I find that my shoulder bothers me and I get discouraged and give up. I haven't actually seen anyone yet about it but I'm going to my sisters PT practice tomorrow. Anyway, pushups and side planks/planks and I'm sure other things I'll find using my arm seem to bother me. How can I get back in shape without getting discouraged AND use my shoulder to strengthen my arms? Thanks!
A:
I used to be a huge baseball player and always played competitively and so rotator cuff injuries are very common and so what we did to help heal it while still being able to compete and lift weights was anytime that you do any chest workouts only go to a 90 degree angle instead of doing the full range of motion until your rotator cuff heals. Also you will want to do rotator cuff exercises such as tube/band exercises and they are called internal and external rotation for your rotator cuff. Ask your sister’s PT about the band exercises and light weight dumbell exercises that I am referring to and have him/her show you how to do them they work very well and will be able to get you back to lifting and feeling motivated again. Hope that helps :)

Q: I'm 22 and I who just started strength training about a month ago, but have been running for over a year. I'm 5'7" and weigh 120lbs. I'm not happy with my body composition, mostly because I have a layer of excess fat on my stomach that I'd love to be rid of. My goal is to get more muscular all over to look healthy and fit, but I also want to lose fat. My question is, should I be trying for a calorie surplus to gain muscle, or a calorie deficit to lose fat?
A:
Based off of your height and weight it sounds like you would want to focus on building muscle and going for a calorie surplus. Once you gain some muscle then you can start to cut down and have that toned lean look with some new muscles. Hope that helps :)

Q: Hi! So im going out today and i really want to drink. Is it going to affect me so much and "undo" most of my efforts at the gym this week?
A:
Well if you are going for for fat loss alcohol does inhibit your body’s natural fat burning cycle so you will not want to drink too much.

Q: Hey man! Great blog! Very informational and positive. I am still skimming it and trying to soak in some knowledge. My question to you is: What is your view on post work out meals? Quick carb. a.s.a.p. and protein within an hour or what? I have heard many different views and I can be a little confused at times. Thanks!
A:
Thanks I really appreciate you reading my blog :) I actually just answered that question right before yours lol how cool. But yes I do believe in the quick carb and protein within the hour specifically the liquid quick carb and protein mix because the research has said that the body has a window to absorb those nutrients. So try it and see how you feel and how your results are but definitely don’t be afraid to test some other ways and times as well because you want to use what works best for you! Hope that helps :)
