Coconut Berry Protein Pudding

Coconut Berry Protein Pudding

I’ve been on a kick with this dessert as of late and figured I’d share it with The Renegade Nation.

So you may need more or less coconut [...]

7 Quick & Easy Cooking Tricks to Burn Fat Faster

7 Quick & Easy Cooking Tricks to Burn Fat Faster

I’ll be honest; I love to eat. Probably more than anything else. Although George Costanza’s idea of the perfect trifecta didn’t sound too bad too me…

“I fined the pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted cured meats.”

If you’re like me and love to eat, getting in shape can be brutally hard. Watching people eat delicious meals while you’re choking down something bland and boring can be pure torture.

It’s no wonder more people can’t get ripped like they want to.

Luckily my buddy Dave Ruel (fellow Wu Tang Clan [...]

Buckwheat Blueberry Pancakes

Buckwheat Blueberry Pancakes

Every Sunday of the fall Jen and I start the day with a trip to the farmers market before the football pregame shows start (I’ve grown partial to the two hour pregame show on ESPN, as opposed the ones on Fox and CBS, the last few years). As soon as we get back football goes on and we get started on our one “junk food” cheat day of the week.

That doesn’t mean that we start eating processed or fake foods or a ton of sugar or anything like that. But [...]
