Nutrition: Maybe red meats are not as bad for us as we thought

Image
Anytime you start to talk about nutrition and how it relates to fitness, weight loss, strength training and just eating healthy in general, many believe the old adage that you should try to limit the amount of red meat you should eat. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article , that methodology may be all wrong. The Journal discusses old studies that were performed and flawed years ago and the studies have been the basis for that old thought process of limiting red meats and other saturated fats in our diets. The Journal discusses why those studies were flawed, and those details are not that important. But what is of importance has been the result, which has been an increase in Americans eating more vegetable oil products and more carbohydrates, which could be linked to an overweight society that continues to battle with bouts of obesity, type 2 diabetes and even that same heart disease that old studies said that red meat causes. Here is the takeaway for an entrepren

So, after launching this blog just last night, I made a promise to myself to wake up early and hit the streets and jog a mile.  Maybe two. Exercising early is hard for me.  It always has been. I am not a great morning person and instead, excel later in the day (likely because of my dependency on coffee).

In order for me to really start making a difference and get this fit life and become the exercising entrepreneur I plan to be, mornings are going to have to become a time of exercise and a not a time hit the snooze button.

As a business owner with a young family, I obviously have many very important responsibilities. I am charged with growing a thriving business to support a young family that is destined to expand and grow-up as well. With those responsibilities come pressure, stress and binge eating without much time to exercise. And at 30 years of age, that has become a problem because I am not living a very fit life. Its a problem I am aware of. A problem that I know needs a solution. But it is a problem that thus far, I have been unable to solve. So, in order to get myself off the couch and started down a path of fitness and exercise that I not only desperately need for myself, my family and yes, my business, I have created some extra motivation. Or, you can call it, some extra accountability. However you want to look at it, the ExercisingEntrepreneur.com has been created simply as an outlet to post about my accomplishments, struggles, breakthroughs, challenges and lifestyle as it c
