How to Overcome Late Night Eating Cravings and Urges:

1 – Identify the underlying cause: Late night cravings may be triggered by hunger, boredom, stress, or habit. Identifying the root cause can help you address the problem at its source.

2 – Plan ahead: If you know you tend to get hungry or crave certain foods late at night, try to plan ahead and have healthy snacks on hand. This can help you avoid reaching for unhealthy options.

3 – Avoid keeping trigger foods in the house: If you know that certain foods are particularly tempting for you late at night, try not to keep them in the house. This can help you avoid the temptation altogether.

4 – Drink water: Sometimes, late night cravings can be a sign of dehydration. Try drinking a glass of water before reaching for a snack.

5 – Practice mindful eating: If you do decide to have a late night snack, try to be mindful of what you’re eating and why. Take your time, pay attention to the flavors and textures, and try to savor the experience.

6 – Find alternative ways to cope with emotions: If late night cravings are triggered by emotions such as stress or boredom, try finding alternative ways to cope with these emotions. This could include activities such as exercise, meditation, or talking to a friend.

7 – Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can contribute to late night cravings, so it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough rest. Try to establish a regular sleep routine and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

The Start and Stop Swing: A Kettlebell Exercise for Strength

Most people think of the kettlebell as a cardio / conditioning tool, but it can also be used for building strength and muscle. Lifting heavy weights on a regular basis is key to getting stronger, so it’s important to pick exercises where you can move a lot of weight. The start and stop swing is a great choice for this goal.

To perform the start and stop swing, start in a STANDING position with your abs braced, your shoulders down and back, and your body ready to rock. Then, pass the KB back, swing it up to approx chest level, swing it back, and park it on the ground after EVERY REP.

The start and stop kettlebell swing is a great move for many reasons. Some benefits include the ability to handle progressive overload, practice with starting and stopping positions, using latissimus dorsi muscles, and staying in a safe position. These are just a few of the reasons you should add the kettlebell swing to your strength training today!

Sneaky Carbs: 5 Worst Foods To Eat If You’re Trying To Lose

Today, I want to talk about a common issue that can sabotage people new to the keto lifestyle – what I call “Sneaky Carbs”.

It’s very important to keep your carbohydrate intake low on the keto diet. The exact number varies depending on the source, but a good guideline is that you should consume 50 grams or less of carbohydrates daily to stay in ketosis. If you’re regularly kettlebell training, you may be able to get away with consuming slightly more carbs, but 50 grams is still not much. And it can add up quickly!

That’s why you have to be careful for hidden, “Sneaky Carbs” in certain foods that may SEEM keto-friendly, but are actually loaded with sugars.

Here are 5 of some of the worst and most surprising examples:

1 – Milk substitutes (almond milk / soy milk etc)
2 – Yogurt
3 – Salad dressing
4 – BBQ sauce
5 – Protein bars

To be successful on the keto diet, you need to understand what you’re eating. That means looking at the nutrition facts for everything you eat and drink.

It can be a bit of work in the beginning, but it does get easier with practice. And this is crucial for success because small tips and tricks like this can make all the difference between success and failure.

PS – If you want to give the keto diet a go, I recommend the course at the link below:

-> 28 Day Keto Challenge

This program will give you a complete, step-by-step plan of exactly what to do. A big reason I see people fail is lack of planning, and this course will give you:

— Diet basics
— Meal plans
— Tips for curbing cravings
— How to stay in ketosis
— How to calculate your macros
— Beating the keto flu
— How to incorporate intermittent fasting with keto
— How to deal with social situations on keto

…and much more!

The keto diet can be a way to jumpstart your weight loss journey. If you’re thinking of trying it, having a plan is crucial for success, so I highly recommend checking this out:

20-minute Duffel / Sandbag Workout

Sandbag training is a powerful way to level up your strength and get shredded quickly!

The great part about it is that it’s also a lot of fun.

Now, if you don’t have access to an actual sandbag, there’s no need to worry. We can easily replicate the same workout with a duffel bag.

To make things simple, I personally would just use one of these free duffels (I use mine every day!) and fill it with some light weights or anything that has some weight to it that will give you a bit of challenge.

20-minute Duffel / Sandbag Workout

Keep going for as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes, and you can take breaks if you need to. Perform the following exercises:

  • alternating reverse lunge (hold the bag in front of your chest) – 8 reps per side
  • plank with pull-through (start with the bag outside your left hand, then pull it through to your right side and repeat, alternating sides each time) – 8 reps per side
  • elevated push ups (using the bag to elevate one hand on the floor) – 12 reps per side
  • one-arm rows (use the bag for weight) – 12 reps per side

If you’re looking for a different type of workout, check out this great fat-burning and muscle-building 20-minute duffel/sandbag session!

Plus, we’ve got a special free offer on EVATEC Duffel Bags – just click the link below:

The Strange Truth About Reusable Food Wraps: Higher Testosterone Levels + Stronger Kettlellbell Workouts

I have something a little different to share with you today. I found a really interesting new product, and wanted to pass along the word:

–>> Etee Reusable Food Wraps

There are lots of reasons to use them, but a big one that relates to your kettlebell and strength training is that they’re good for your testosterone levels. Studies show that chemicals in plastic products can mimic estrogen in the body and cause lower test levels, which is bad news for muscle gain, fat loss, energy, libido, and more. 

If you’re trying to be healthier and avoid using plastic sandwich bags, these reusable wrappers are also perfect for you. I know I was constantly using them and creating unnecessary waste. But with these, you can just wrap your food up and be on your way. So convenient and eco-friendly!

You might not have thought of this, but plastic products could be killing your kettlebell goals! These wraps can help. Check out the link below to learn more and let me know how they work for you if you decide to give them a try:

How Rucking With A Kettlebell Can Give You Incredible Cardio Workouts

In today’s video, I show you how to do some kettlebell cardio in a way you probably never thought of!

*The backpack I use in the video is available for free at this link, just pay shipping: https://trk.knxtrk.com/SH56

I got turned on to the rucking thing a couple of years ago because I was looking for a way to get a workout similar to running without the impact.

In basic terms, rucking is just where you throw some weight in your backpack and go for a walk.

Here are a few additional tips:

– Walk fast and with a purpose. You want to get your heart rate up to around 50-70% of max.
– Not required, but try to see if you can find some uneven / hilly terrain to ruck.
– Start with 20 pounds or so, work up to 50+.
– Start with 30 mins, work up to 60+.

A kettlebell is actually a really great weight to use for this workout. Plus, you can take it out at some point during the workout, do some KB moves, do some bodyweight exercises, and then finish off by rucking back to where you started.

The backpack I am using in the video you can get free at this link, you just pay shipping: https://trk.knxtrk.com/SH56

I use mine all the time, for KB rucking workouts like the one I break down in today’s video, and much more!

To sum up, if you’re looking for an effective and challenging way to crank up your cardio routine, try this kettlebell ruck workout.
