Chantal and I have a somehow weird habit: when we are sitting at my parent’s couch after a lovely sunday supper, we love to browse in female fitness magazines and spot the newest pseudo-fitness weirdness. Of course my mum does not buy that crap, the newspaper guy gives it for free to her 😉Long story short: mainstream fitness media is a cestpool of half-truths, outright lies and generally people who want to sell you something. If you have not been into evidence-based fitness for some time it is sometimes difficult to see through the fog of ads and unrealistic expectations. I have written this small guide hoping that it helps you think critically when you next consume fitness media! 🐻💚💪 #fitnessmedia #bodybuilding #naturalbodybuilding #strengthtraining #hypertrophy #hypertrophytraining #fitnessmotivation #fitnesslifestyle #fitfam #liftingfoodies #foodieswholift #intelligentstrength #nobullshit #strengthcoach #bodybuildingcoach #onlinecoach #onlinecoaching #bodyrecomposition #keepmoving #bearystrong

[New Blog Post] Scotland loving lifting foodies, I have created the perfect breakfast for you! I took inspiration at the traditional Scottish dessert as well as from Chantal‘s favourite baker, Paul Hollywood, and transformed it into a protein rich, calorie friendly breakfast. Curd, oats, eggs and berries make this the perfect pre-workout and generally a great way to start your day. Enjoy! 🐻💚🍓 @paul.hollywood #bearystrong #liftingfoodie #fitfoodie #bearmode #bodybuilding #easycooking #mealprep #healthyfood #youliftyoueat #protein #carbs #breakfast #oats #berries #cheesecake #scotland

Even if you are not competing and you go to the gym because you like the feeling afterwards, or you love the idea of becoming as strong as hell, most of us want to see some kind of progress. That’s why in my opinion monitoring progress during your fitness and health journey is one of the most important factors for long time motivation and adherence. How else are you going to assess if the things you did actually lead to results? If you have no plan how to do it best, this article is for you!

I love quick and easy recipes, but sometimes I feel the need to cook something more elaborate. An occasion to test my cooking skills or to celebrate a special ingredient. This time it is a beautiful cut of game and somehow it remembers me of Japan and I decide to combine an European style stew with Japanese ramen style toppings. A great idea, as it turns out! Recipe is linked in my bio, so give it try. 🐻💚🍜 #gains #eatyourveggies #bearystrong #liftingfoodie #fitfoodie #bearmode #youliftyoueat #venison #stew #ramenstyle #recipes #foodblog #healthyfood

When will I see results? This is a question I almost always get with new clients. And I can relate to it, we all want to see results when we work for something hard. But results are different for everybody! Nobody can say how you are going to look in two months. Fitness media also fosters unrealistic expectations constantly. Building muscle is a slow process and you should think in years not weeks. Fat loss is way faster, but you have to get your diet on point. And always remember, if you put in more work, you will get better results, but what exactly they will look like on you, nobody can tell now. This picture is the progress I made in three months during last years cut. I lost about 9kg but likely didn't build much muscle mass during that time period, altough I look more muscular. This diet was very, very hard, training five times a week, doing so many steps that my feet started hurting, eating so little calories that carrots were off the menu. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody (except you want to step onto a bodybuilding stage, in which case you have no choice), but if you want serious results, you have to put serious work into it. If you are starting out just now, don't worry about results. Think about the things you can do that will lead to results. Start with the small stuff, but start. Then never give up. Ride the motivation train of your newbie gains until you don't need motivation anymore because now it is part of you. 🐻💚💪 #results #bodybuilding #naturalbodybuilding #strengthtraining #hypertrophy #hypertrophytraining #fitnessmotivation #fitnesslifestyle #fitfam #liftingfoodies #foodieswholift #intelligentstrength #nobullshit #dasgym #strengthcoach #onlinecoach #onlinecoaching #bodyrecomposition #keepmoving #bearystrong

Even if meal prep sounds like something only fitness freaks do, it is a very convenient and time efficient way to assure that you get something proper to eat for the whole week. It may also be a great strategy to save money since often it is cheaper to buy certain foods in bulk. Meal prep is more than just cooking something in batch and then putting the leftovers in tupper boxes, although this is already a big step in the right direction for most people who are not used to cooking. Here we delve a little deeper: distribution of protein, balancing calories and eating well while doing so.

Breakfast for tomorrow. Cheesecake with coffee and chocolate swirl, a simple variation of the basic recipe on my blog. Already looking forward for it. 🐻💚🍰 #bakingnoob #gains #youliftyoueat #cheesecake #hypertrophy #protein #bearystrong #liftingfoodie #fitfoodie #bearmode #bodybuilding #easycooking #mealprep #chocolate #coffee #breakfast

What an incredibly easy and delicious cake! Packed full with veggies and topped with a light curd topping, it is surprisingly macro friendly and healthy. Not healthy for the sake of it, but because it's also tasty. Give it a try, link is in bio! 🐻💚🍰 #healthybaking #carrotcake #macrofriendly #recipe #foodie #liftingfoodie #fitfoodie #youliftyoueat #gains #bulking #cutting #diet #tastycut #hypertrophy #bearystrong #bearmode #keepmoving

Found some beautiful chestnuts on the farmers market today. Good quality is never cheap, but always worth it. Also tried out a new roasting protocol and it worked perfectly: Set oven to 200C, put a bowl of water in the oven and roast the scored chestnuts for 30-40 minutes. Do not water them before roasting, this makes the skin stick to the flesh! 🐻💚🌰 #winterfood #healthy #carbs #bearystrong #liftingfoodie #fitfoodie #bearmode #youliftyoueat #gains #simplebutgood #paleo #primal #chestnuts
