In my short time on this planet, I’ve learned some cardinal rules about food and nutrition. Some were easy lessons, some were not so easy. As Otto von Bismarck says, “Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.” That said, please take my lifelong journey of mistake-ridden nutrition mannerisms and run with them.
1 – Every household needs a slow-cooker and grill. Charcoal preferred, gas acceptable.  

2 – The bulk of your protein needs to be filled by something that, at some point, had a face, soul, and parents.  

3 – Fueling (quantity) is based on performance and sport.

4 – Drink water when you are thirsty. Don’t when you’re not.

5 – If you’re at a party, you knew there’d be cake. Eat the cake and stop being an asshole

6 – Fat doesn’t make you fat.

7 – Organic, non-GMO, locally sourced, grass-fed, and free-range are the way to go. If you’re not able to get your paws on any of those, regular real food is fine.

8 – Learn how to cook… Even if it means throwing stock, celery, carrots, and a roast in the slow cooker, learn.

9 – There is no better breakfast than bacon and eggs.

10 – Supplements are not a primary source of fuel.

11 – Don’t feed your pets anything you wouldn’t eat yourself.

12 – Making your own beef jerky is easier than you think.

13 – PSE Kitchen is going to rock your world… You can take that to the bank.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am not, by any stretch, a dietitian. But I am a human being… That can only vary so much. The rules listed above are as much as I can safely speak on the topic of nutrition.   Enjoy, friends.
