The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown

In this week's episode, we'll be discussing how to eat for your body type. Specifically, we'll review: Does your Somatotype (body shape, muscle mass, fat storage tendencies, etc) require you to eat a certain way? How we store body fat as an indicator of how well/poorly you’re responding to your calorie/macronutrient intake. My Foundation 4 Framework - 4 Simple steps to help you improve your nutrition habits throughout the day that will help you better regulate blood sugar, support lean muscle mass, boost energy, improve cognitive function and emotional well-being. If you want a more individualized approach to your nutrition as well as glean a better understanding of why it may be harder for you to lose fat than the next guy, then this episode is for you.

Achieving a healthy body composition by losing fat and gaining muscle involves periods of eating at a calorie deficit coupled with periods of maintenance and perhaps surplus.  Most people that want to lose fat attempt to create a caloric deficit year-round only to end up failing time and time again...mostly because they over restrict. Nonetheless, if you’re going to change your body composition, it’s imperative you have the nutritional tools and skills to effectively create and maintain a calorie deficit, strategically, and successfully, so that you can lose the weight and keep it off in a healthy way.

The time of day that you train is something that most people have never taken into consideration… rather, it’s simply been a function of when you have time, which absolutely makes the most sense.  However, recent research points to an optimal time to train that can: > boost performance > slightly increase strength gains > significantly increase the rate of muscle growth But despite what the research says, does that mean it’s going to be the best time for you? That’s what we’re going to discuss in this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show.   Resources: Dynamic Warm-up: https://youtu.be/br8jXp8M77Y Pre-Workout Nutrition Guide: https://www.bslfuel.com/9-meals-for-energy   Connect with Ben: Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/smartnutritionmadesimple Instagram: https://instagram.com/bslnutrition As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

In my first podcast back after a bit of a hiatus, I wanted to share a recent interview I did with my friend Alvin Laxamana on his All Things Fresh Podcast. Now I’ve created over 100 episodes here that share the knowledge, wisdom, background, and expertise from other health and fitness professionals, but in doing so, have held back my own story and experiences that I think you may find insightful. So, moving forward part of my mission is to continue to provide as much value and real world experience by sharing more of the lessons that I’ve gleaned as I approach close to 20 years as a coach. And it all starts today, so I hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more helpful content from myself, other experts in the field, and hopefully through sharing more of my journey, you can truly see that making Smart Nutrition decisions isn’t always easy, but it can be simple.   Resources: Here are More Ways to Connect with Ben and the BSL Nutrition Community: Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.brown.146/ Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/smartnutritionmadesimple Instagram: https://instagram.com/bslnutrition   As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

What are the life circumstances that drive a skinny kid to join the marines, get in the best shape of his life only to end up sacrificing his health for his work and family, ultimately getting lost down the road of what’s considered normal in today's low societal standards?   Today we bring on BSL Nutrition coaching client Gabriel Daley, to discuss the fitness and nutrition journey that led him from peak physical condition in the marines to a type 2 diabetic father of 6 struggling to perform the way he knew he could. Over the past 6 months, Gabe has transformed his physique, overhauled his nutrition, overcome type 2 diabetes, and become the father, husband, and leader that he always knew he could be by investing in himself and his future.   Gabe’s story will help you realize that you’re not alone in the struggles that we all feel day-to-day and that through structure, commitment, daily consistency, and gradual change, you are just as capable as anyone else to make profound change in your life.   It’s a pleasure and honor for me to be able to share this interview with you and I hope you enjoy it and learn as much as I did. If you did, then please leave a 5-star review and a positive rating, and share this with someone whom you think needs some motivation and inspiration right now.
