Pork Loin Letscho

Easy protein for every day.

Letscho is a popular dish in Austria, originally from Hungary and mainly consists of peppers, tomato and onions. Traditionally it is combined with bacon and served as a main dish, but in Austria it is prepared with even more vegetables and therefore considered a side.We’ve combined both ways and created a macro-friendly one pot version of this popular dish.

The Most Important Factor In Training

Questions to ask yourself when setting up your training.

“Conan, what is most important in training?” I think Arnold would put his sword aside, take a deep look into your eyes and answer with: “Sustainability!” Not very exciting, right?

But still, the ability to work out week after week, month over month, year after year without having to pause or suffering any set backs, is of great importance. It allows you to build constant forward momentum and this is where the magic happens. So, how do you achieve this?

How To Quickstart Your Muscle Gain Journey

Let’s eat and grow! It’s so easy, isn’t it?

Building muscles is not a must and you don’t need to go all-out bodybuilding-style. However, having a decent amount of it comes with several benefits: not only a nice “toned” look but it makes a lot of chores and life in general easier (how does it feels to carry heavy bags after grocery shopping?). In addition it is one of the best anti-aging measures in general. If you take muscle gains beyond newbie gains it may come with some “difficulties”:

Tips For Nailing Your Vacation Nutrition

Helping you to enjoy your vacation to the fullest while staying on track with your diet.

For me traveling is one of the most exciting and important things to do. I love seeing new places, learning about new cultures and eating delicious food. But traveling can mess up your hard earned good nutrition habits: most of the time you can’t control what you get served, how it is cooked or if it has a decent amount of protein. Therefore I compiled some tips how to enjoy your vacation at the fullest and keep some of the healthy eating behaviors.

Sunday Roast: Summer Edition

Solving the dilemma of hot summer days and the need for a perfect roast.

I love my sunday roast! I go to the butcher and let him select a nice cut of meat for me and on my way home I plan how I’m going to cook it. A few simple sides to go with it. Most of the time this will be roasted vegetables, since I am addicted to their simplicity and deliciousness. But in the summer times my enthusiasm for sunday roast comes to a halt: it is hot outside and the last thing I want to do is adding heat by roasting something for hours in the oven. But I have found a solution and you will love it!

How To Quickstart A Successful Fat Loss Journey

A simple guide to fat loss.

Losing weight or more appropriately losing fat is a decision you should take from a positive emotional state: you want to do something for your health or you would like to have a less harder time playing with the kids or maybe shred down a bit after a long muscle gaining phase. Please don’t use weight loss as a punishment and seek professional help if you have a disordered eating history.

If you want to do it on your own, you may be overwhelmed about the information available: What diet should I follow? Is it bad to eat carbs in the evening? Do I have to do cardio? Or go daily to the gym? To be honest, it is much easier than you think. Create a calorie deficit. How? We help you with some tips.

Exercise Selection and Repetition Ranges

What exercises should you do and how many reps should you aim for?

Some of the most basic questions in training are: what exercise should I do? And for how many reps should I go? At first glance they have little in common, but if you take a closer look, they are tightly related to each other. What exercise do you choose, and does it even matter?

Sourdough Bread

…it’s easier than you think!

I love a nice loaf of bread, and I bet you do too. And my client Viola, who asked me for this recipe surely does so. Bread got a bad rep over the last decade, because it is easy to overconsume: good bread is really tasty, not very satieting and quitecalorie dense. But that’s not a problem if you are diligent with your tracking and if you have an overall healthy lifestyle with enough movement. People suffering from IBS sometimes react to several anti-nutrients found in higher dosage in wheat and other grains. Sourdough makes the bread more digestible and less prone to cause digestive issues because the microbiota “pre-digest” the anti-nutrients.
