“Fat loss is an all-out war. Give it 28 days — only 28 days. Attack it with all you have. It’s not a lifestyle choice; it’s a battle.”

- Dan John – Strength Coach

Days and weeks go by while I’ve been working at the health club and I’m seeing the same pattern and the same people doing the same thing, alot of the time people aren’t training with intensity. They walk on the machines without a goal, they don’t improve their fitness because they’re stuck in their routine.
There’s no heart in what they’re doing, there’s no passion.

A big part of it is that people talk themselves out of it, that voice they’re hearing is doubt, no-one likes pain, no-one likes change.

However if you embraced it with open arms you too can do some amazing things…..like the quote above, whether your goal is strength, fat loss, endurance, whatever, attack it with all you have, it’s not a lifestyle choice it’s a battle.

Check out the clip below. All heart. Full intensity. The stuff body transformations are made of…..

(Just to add, after a few sets of partial squats up to 260kg, Sled drag was 80kg+)

Get Strong. Get Fit. Be Healthy.

So check it out I’m watching an old clip by Sean @ Underground Wellness that made it clear about how soy isn’t that great as a health food.
I think confusion lies in the fermented soy that they use over in asian countries and the unfermented soy we have here in the west.
We have unfermented soy nuts, soy beans, soy milk, tofu, quorn etc, where as they have fermented soy like natto’, miso, which are much more beneficial for their health as it allows them to get their protein sources without all the other dangers of soy.

Here’s what I was shocked at finding out, unfermented soy actually turns down the dial on your thyroid (hypothyroidism) which basically means that it slows down your metabolism, which is obviously bad.
The other thing is that the plant contains a natural chemical that mimics estrogen, high levels of estrogen is apparently linked to breast cancer.

You can find soy in ALOT of products these days as it is pushed as a health food and that’s the scary thing, so to bullet point -

• Soy is not a health food
• Unfermented Soy mimics estrogen
• It is also linked to hypothyroidism (low metabolism)

Listen to the videos and think about getting your protein from other sources if possible, try to rotate them so you’re not only eating one thing.

My own opinion is that if you want to eat soy now and again then that’s fine, this post is here to highlight the dangers of consuming excessive amounts of soy foods.

Really interesting video by Dr. Robert Lustig if you have an hour an half free, you have to watch this video about the dangers of sugar.
