How to Meal Prep for The Master’s Hammer and Chisel

by Rob Humphrey

As I embark on the new challenge The Master’s Hammer and Chisel I’m trying to come up with a nutrition plan to help make things easier. While it’s crucial to give it your all during the workouts, it’s equally important to eat right if you want to lose fat and tone up or build muscle. Creating a weekly meal plan and prepping all your food for the week at once is a smart way to make sure you eat right every day. And it will save you a lot of time. Click below to check out a complete guide to one week’s worth of Meal Prep specifically designed for the Hammer and Chisel nutrition plan.

I can’t really give you an honest review on these just yet since I haven’t been able to try them out for myself. But, when they are available be sure to check back in for a full and formal review of each of the supplements in this new line. So let’s take a look at what we know about the new Beachbody Performance line as of now.

What is Beachbody Performance?

An easy-to-use, complete supplement system that’s guaranteed to boost your workout performance and help accelerate the results from any fitness program.
It’s designed by Harvard-trained scientists and combines the latest cutting-edge science with the most effective performance-boosting ingredients from nature.
Every ingredient is thoroughly tested and scientifically shown to enhance performance and recovery.
There are 5 unique formulas—Energize, Hydrate, Recover, Recharge, and Creatine—that can be used alone or easily customized depending on your fitness goals or needs.
It will help you overcome any obstacle—from low energy to muscle soreness—so you can push yourself harder in every workout.

What’s included in the Beachbody Performance line?

The system has four powder drinks formulated with key ingredients scientifically shown to be effective.

BEACHBODY PERFORMANCE ENERGIZE PRE-WORKOUT (Lemon Spark Flavor) – Improves intense exercise performance, increases energy and endurance, and sharpens focus, and reaction time.
BEACHBODY PERFORMANCE HYDRATE DURING-WORKOUT (Citrus Cooler Flavor) – Supports hydration during exercise, replaces electrolytes lost during exercise, fuels working muscles, and improves endurance.
BEACHBODY PERFORMANCE RECOVER POST-WORKOUT (Chocolate Chill Flavor) – Speeds muscle recovery, promotes lean muscle synthesis, combats exercise-induced muscle soreness, and improves muscle strength recovery.
BEACHBODY PERFORMANCE RECHARGE NIGHTTIME (Vanilla Dream Flavor) – Supports overnight muscle recovery, improves overnight adaptation to exercise, promotes lean muscle synthesis, and reduces muscle breakdown.

PLUS: BEACHBODY PERFORMANCE CREATINE – This add-on has no flavor and mixes well with the Post-Workout formula to improve high intensity exercise performance, increase muscle strength and power, and enhance the effects of resistance training.

I’m excited to Recharge!

I’m really excited for this new line of Performance supplements and especially excited for the Recharge supplement. Muscles do the most growth and recovery while we are asleep so naturally a night time supplement to help this process seems right.. Team Beachbody already has great options for protein, pre and post and even creatine, we’ll just have to see how these line up and their price point. I can’t wait to get my hands on these to give them an official review and add them to my routine, stay tuned. Don’t forget to enter to win!

Ask The Expert: Should You Avoid Fruit Because of Its Sugar Content?

by Rob Humphrey

The Short Answer:

Absolutely not. Fresh fruit (not dried fruit or canned stuff drowning in syrup) should be a focal point of almost any diet. While it’s generally more caloric than veggies, the amount of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients within mean those calories are going to good use. As for the sugar issue, the fiber content slows absorption. That fiber, along with the water content, also helps to stem overeating (provided you’re not a binge eater—and if that’s the case, it doesn’t matter what you overeat).

Don’t Want To Count Calories? Try the Portion Fix!

by Rob Humphrey

Looking to lose weight but want it to be easy and effective? Well then you are going to need to hunker down and figure out what you’re eating and how much. One of the best ways of doing this is to track your nutrition and calories. Tracking your calories is the most effective way to know what and how much you’re eating on a daily basis.

One of the problems I ran into while tracking my nutrition during my Insanity and P90X3 Challenge was it got really monotonous and old real quick. It was very effective but I wanted another way. I don’t want to count calories everyday of my life so I was looking for a simpler way of doing things. And I found a way…the portion approach in the Portion Fix.

Something I will say before I go further is that counting calories IS much more effective and accurate way for best results possible. If you have less than 10 pounds to lose then tracking your calories and macros maybe the better option for you. But if you’re open to another way of doing it keep reading.

Last year Team Beachbody released a program call 21 Day Fix. Like all Team Beachbody programs the program included a nutrition plan, but this plan had a different approach, a portion approach. This portion approach was much more than using a thumb or the size of your palm to use as measuring guides, instead they came up with a container system. Each container is color coded and designed for each part of your nutrition. Whether its protein, carbs, fats it had its own container. And if it fit in the container you could eat it. Further more they provided a nutrition guide that gave you lists of what to eat in each category. It made nutrition really simple and by using the included calculator it would tell you how many of each container you needed to eat each day. NO MORE COUNTING CALORIES!

If you are in the need of a beginner to novice fitness program and portion control system then I would suggest the 21 Day Fix, if you’re looking for something more extreme you might want to look into the Insanity Max 30 program that includes the same portion control system.

Already have a fitness program? Want to add the portion approach to your nutrition regimen? Then you need to check out the Portion Fix!

Introducing the Portion Fix

The Portion Fix will make mastering portion control simple. The system comes with a nutrition guide and all seven color coded containers including a Shakeology Cup and it will show you how to do portion control the easy way-without counting calories.

Maximize your results with simple portion control!

No more counting calories and measuring your food on a scale. With the Portion Fix, there’s no math, guessing or weighing your food. Only an easy to follow portion control system anyone can use. Each container will correspond to a food and macronutrient group (protein, carbs, fats) and is specially designed to deliver your body the right amount of food. No more “eyeballing” portions again-if it fits in the container, you can eat it.

Even learn how to add dessert and wine into your fitness lifestyle-the right way-so you can maximize your results without totally giving up the foods you love!

Here’s the best part! You can use the Portion Fix to look better, feel better and help improve your intensity and performance while doing any Team Beachbody fitness program.

Ask The Expert: Is It Ok To Have Cheat Meals?

by Rob Humphrey

The Short Answer:

It’s absolutely OK to have a cheat meal! If the rest of your diet plan is tight, there’s nothing wrong with cutting loose once or twice a week. In fact, the shift in calories may help you avoid plateaus. Also, it keeps you sane. After all, life is too short not to eat the occasional donut.
