Carb Cycling Made Easy- Part 1



Carb Cycling Made Easy- Part 1

The first time I experimented with carb cycling was some time back in the early 90’s, largely influenced by the work of Michael Zumpano and the late Dan Duchaine. I was blown away by how incredibly well this worked so I immediately enlisted a few more test subjects to try it out on. Again, the results were awesome.

Less Dairy, More Fruit & Vegetables



Here’s part 3 of my recent interview for Craig Ballantyne.

Craig Ballantyne: Why don’t we just stick with nutrition a little bit and talk about your personal nutrition now? So, talk about your general nutrition approach for yourself and how that’s working for any of your clients that are using it as well.

Jason Ferruggia: I don’t think there was anyone that ate more meat and dairy than I did back in the day.

I would have a gallon of milk a day, a dozen eggs, and at least a pound [...]
