High-Performance Lifestyle
Life is about constant motion.
It’s ever changing, fluid, unmolded, and always evolving.
Those that stagnate, are still moving. Just backwards, further away from what they desire.
Life is in constant motion, never still.
You are either moving towards or away from your goals, but you are never the same. – Chief
1. Pay attention to what you eat. Start tracking your calories and macros using an app like myfitnesspal. Anything less is just a guess, and it will most likely be wrong.
2. Eat more protein. If you can, include a protein source in every meal (4-6 oz. or 20-30 grams). It’s likely you are currently eating less than 50 grams per day.
3. Eat less processed junk food. This includes all fast food and most packaged goods. [Read more…]
The more I read and learn, the more obvious it becomes that the key to fulfillment is an alignment with purpose.
It is a vocation, life’s task, hard thing, passion, or obsession.
Whatever it is, sustained success depends on it.
When you stagnate, when the desire to excel and push your life forward ends, so does many other things in your life.
You cannot live a high-performance life without an outlet to perform. – Chief
My never ending, lifelong quest to conquer modern day nutrition continues as I address the misunderstanding of key principles.
It seems that almost everyone has a problem with this or that, some kind of thyroid problem, some kind of metabolism problem, or more recently, some kind of problem due to a lack of eating MORE calories. I keep hearing, “I can never eat enough calories to lose weight.”
It may sound crazy, but more and more people keep telling me they don’t eat enough calories to lose weight.

Jerry Rice is widely considered one of the greatest to have ever played the game of football.
His legacy as as the NFL’s all-time best wide receiver will forever be cemented by a 20-year career with over 1,500 receptions, close 23,000 reception yards and 200 touchdowns — all NFL all-time records. He has also, at some point, held every single season record for a receiver.
His stats prove the point, but what makes Rice a great study goes beyond the numbers:
1. He was undersized and considered slow by conventional standards.
2. He came from a small college in Itta Bena, Mississippi (Population: 1,946)
3. He came from an even smaller high school in Crawford, Mississippi (Population: 636)
