What you see here is motion!! Remember motion creates motion so if you’re sitting at home, hoping, wishing or even worse complaining about where you’re at and why your health sucks just remember this one thing. Motion Creates More Motion 🏃‍♀️ 🏃. A body at rest stays at rest 🤷🏽‍♂️ if your body is accustomed to lying around and not moving guess what’s going to happen? Well you know how that story ends....right? High Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Diabetes etc!!

Repitition is the ONLY way to build a muscle and it’s the ONLY way to reach any goal that you set! The reason why I posted a picture of MJ is not because I want you to be some superstar athlete but it’s rather to impress upon you that Jordan spent more time practicing and doing it over and over and over to give you the product that you see in a game. Over course some people are gifted in certain areas but to reach your goal it takes repetition.

“They say” it takes 30days to create a habit but I want to take it a step further and say 30 TIMES. Because if you are only working out and eating healthy only once a week to lose 20lbs and you are saying to yourself that you are going to only give it 30 days, then you are totally under false pretense!

Smoked salmon, hollandaise, egg, and chive breakfast bombs. My favorite thing in the world is eggs Benedict with smoked salmon but I can’t always wait until the weekend for this goodness! These make a delicious, creamy, and extremely satisfying breakfast on the go. Now you can have your weekend treat on the way to work too.

These little bites taste just like everything you love about your traditional eggs Benedict. Creamy hollandaise, gooey eggs, and fresh, rich, cold smoked salmon. These little breakfast bombs are best served lukewarm if freshly made, however, they will be softer in texture. They will also keep fine in the fridge and can be eaten cold when on the run. When chilled they are a little firmer in texture but I like that as it makes for a no mess, no fuss, scrummy breakfast.
If you aren’t a fan of cold smoked salmon you can easily substitute hot smoked salmon, and if salmon isn’t your thing then crispy bacon makes a perfect substitute as well. Have a go and experiment with what you like. Chives can also be left out if you don’t like them or substituted for parsley or dill.
This recipe requires no special ingredients or special equipment and uses a fail-safe hollandaise sauce. I have never had this sauce split or clump on me before.
You can easily whip these up on a Sunday afternoon as they are relatively quick to make and store well in the fridge to make a scrumptious treat for your Monday mornings, (and Tuesday if you please.)
If you love hollandaise sauce and salmon as much as I do and are time poor in the mornings then you need to try these! All those healthy fats will keep you satisfied all morning long!
Yields 2 servings of Salmon Benny Breakfast Bombs
THE PREPARATION
Breakfast Bombs

• 2 large eggs
• 4 ounces smoked salmon, sliced
• ½ tablespoon butter, salted
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Hollandaise Sauce

• 2 tablespoons butter, salted
• 1 large egg yolk, separated from the white
• ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed*
• ½ tablespoon water, add more if too thick
• Salt to taste

*About half of a lemon. Can also be substituted for store brought lemon juice if you don’t have any fresh lemons.
*Be careful not to add too much water to your hollandaise sauce as you want it to be thick consistency for this recipe so the balls hold together well.
THE EXECUTION
1. Ensure you have all your ingredients for hollandaise ready and sitting at room temperature.

2. Grab a small pot and fill with water then put on the stove to boil. Once the water is boiling add your 2 whole eggs and let them boil for 10-12 minutes. You want your eggs to be hard boiled as we will be adding hollandaise to these.

3. While you are waiting for your eggs to boil, take your salmon slices and finely dice. Ensure they are separated once cut.

4. Preheat a pan over high-heat and add the 2 teaspoons of butter. Once the butter has heated up, take approximately half of the cut up salmon and add into the pan then crisp into little crunchy pieces. Set aside.

5. Once your eggs have boiled for 10-12 minutes run the eggs and pot under cold water and allow the eggs to cool before peeling.

6. When your eggs have cooled, place them in a dish and use a fork to finely mash the egg.

7. After you have your eggs and salmon prepared you can make a start on your hollandaise. Don’t try and do this at the same time as it will need your full attention to avoid clumps and splitting.
8. Take a pot and fill with a cup or two of water and place on the stove to simmer. Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. You want your butter to be melted but not hot. Set aside. In a large heat-safe bowl whisk the egg yolk, lemon juice, dijon mustard and a pinch of salt together until you see air bubbles. Place the bowl with egg mixture over the pot with the simmering water to create a double boiler. Make sure that the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.

9. Use medium heat and continuously whisk the mixture until it starts to thicken.

10. Once the mixture starts thickening, slowly pour in the melted butter while stirring with a whisk. Ensure you keep stirring the entire time to avoid clumps. Once all of the butter is added, place the bowl back onto the pot to thicken further.

11. When the sauce has fully thickened you can remove it and set to the side. If the sauce is too thick add a tiny bit of water to thin, but remember we want a thick consistency.

12. Allow your hollandaise to cool to room temperature. We don’t want to cook the salmon when we add the hollandaise, so it is crucial this is cool (unless you like your salmon cooked).

13. Take the raw salmon. hollandaise, half the chives, and mix well with the mashed egg. This should form a firm mixture. You don’t want this to be too wet so limit the hollandaise if you see this happening.

14. Once combined, split mixture into four pieces and roll into balls.

15. Mix your remaining chives and the crispy salmon together and roll your bombs in this to coat.

This makes a total of 2 servings of Salmon Benny Breakfast Bombs. Each serving comes out to be295 Calories, 23.53g Fats, 0.96g Net Carbs, and 18.25g Protein.

What is the cost of personal Training? So there is a discrepancy with something within the fitness and transformation space, especially with how I set up my Recomposition Program.

The difference is the value that my Recomposition Program provides and its way more than what the program cost. Check out Bryanna’s progress within her first week of the Recomposition Program. She is down -12lbs and feeling better and it’s only been 1 week. I am excited for all of my Recompositioners because this is a program that I’ve invested much energy, time and effort to make sure everyone gets results!

Here are the TOP 8 Reasons Why Recomopositioning is Better than a "Weight loss" Program.RECOMPOSITION DON’T LOSE WEIGHT“Weight” is a measurement of the force of gravity pulling down on your body. So if you really wanted to lose “weight,” you could just go to Mars, where the force of gravity is so much lower that your scale weight would be about a third of what it is on Earth.
But that’s not the “weight loss” most people are looking for, because most people don’t actually care about “weight” loss. They care about fat loss. When most people say “I want to lose weight,” what they really mean is “I want to lose fat tissue.” Most people probably wouldn’t care about the number on the scale (their “weight”) if they had their ideal body type, and most people probably wouldn’t consider their weight-loss goals accomplished if they went Mars where their “weight” would technically be lower.
People talk about “weight” loss because scale weight is a proxy measure for fat loss. Fat is the major source of excess body mass for most people who want to “lose weight.” Measuring fat (by DEXA scans or other body composition tools) is expensive and difficult; measuring weight is cheap and easy. So people just measure weight and assume that if they lose weight, it’s because they’re losing fat.
That’s not necessarily true.
“Weight” Loss vs. RECOMPOSITIONING & Fat LossTemporary “weight” loss can be from water weight, constipation, food in your stomach, or a million other factors. But there’s a more dangerous kind of “weight” loss: loss of lean tissue.
If the number on your scale is regularly going down, it’s probably representing a true decrease in your body mass. But it’s not necessarily fat that you’re losing. It might be muscle. But muscle is the weight that you want to keep 

• Muscle makes you look good – that’s how you get that lean, toned body type. So if you’re in this for the aesthetics, you want to keep your muscle.
• More importantly, muscle is good for your health. If you’re trying for “weight loss” to improve your health, losing muscle is counterproductive. 

Losing Fat, Not Just WeightSo the question becomes: how can you make sure that the number going down on the scale (your “weight”) actually represents a loss of fat tissue, rather than a loss of your precious lean mass?
Eat Enough ProteinThe most important macronutrient for losing fat instead of muscle is PROTEINIn a study I found eating more protein helped overweight men preserve more lean mass when they lost weight. The men were put on a diet that gave them either 15% or 25% of energy from protein. But here’s a huge difference that you won’t see in the abstract: the low-protein group was vegetarian; the high-protein group got meat. (The study authors never explain why on earth they would do it like that).

• Overweight men: on the high-protein diet, overweight men lost about 2% of their lean tissue; on the low-protein diet they lost 4%.
• Obese men: on the high-protein diet, obese men lost about 3% of their lean tissue; on the low-protein diet they lost 5%.

So, eating a lot of animal protein is better than eating a little bit of vegetarian protein. It’s not clear whether the benefit is from the sheer amount of protein or from the animal foods (which are nutritious in their own right!) but either way, all signs point to a Paleo approach with high-quality animal protein at every meal.
Want one for the ladies? Well In in this study, women were assigned to either a low-protein diet (68 grams of protein per day) or a high-protein diet (125 grams a day). Both diets had the same number of calories. Both groups lost roughly the same number of pounds, but the high-protein group lost a lot more fat and a lot less muscle.
Carbs are still very important but not as ImportantOn the other hand, the amount or quality of dietary carbs doesn’t seem to matter that much, provided you’re getting enough protein. The study compared four diets in obese men and women over 45:

• Low vs. high glycemic index (GI). Glycemic index is complicated, but in practice, it’s basically a measure of how refined the carbs in your diet are, so low GI carbs are foods like whole-wheat bread and lentils; high-GI carbs are foods like Wonderbread and candy.
• Medium (55%) vs. high-carb (70%).

None of the diets made any difference in the percentage of weight loss as fat. Most of the subjects lost around 20% of their weight as lean mass and 80% as fat mass regardless of which diet they were on.
Of course, the amount and quality of dietary carbs might make a big difference in how much total weight you lose. So in that sense, they’re important. But if you find a carb level that works for you for weight loss, there’s no need to tweak it in search of the perfect ratio for fat loss.
Another Tool to Lose Fat: ExerciseGuess what’s even more powerful than protein? Exercise.
In this study, exercise helped postmenopausal women keep more of their lean mass.  The exercise and non-exercise groups lost basically the same amount of weight but the exercise group lost more fat and less lean mass.
This study found that exercise and higher protein consumption had additive effects in women – they kept more lean mass with protein or with exercise, but they kept the most with protein + exercise. It seems like in analyzing the studies in both male and female found that regardless of diet, adding exercise helped people keep more lean mass and lose more weight from fat instead of muscle.
The study also found that exercise was specifically better for reducing visceral fat, the dangerous kind that actually causes health problems. Even without any reduction in weight, exercise reduced visceral fat by 6%.
Just to be clear: this is not the same thing as saying that exercise “causes” weight loss. Exercise almost never affects weight without diet changes. But exercise does take weight gain or loss in the direction that you want to go:

• Weight-loss diet + exercise = lose more fat and less muscle.
• Weight-gain diet + exercise = gain more muscle and less fat.

Diet is like the engine of a car, and exercise is like the steering wheel. If you  don’t turn on the engine and you’re just sitting there yanking the steering wheel from side to side, you’re not accomplishing much. But you definitely don’t want to turn on that engine without a working steering wheel. If you’re going to turn on the engine and start going 60mph, you better have a steering wheel to make sure you’re going where you want to go.
Here is the DEAL!Almost everyone who says they want to “lose weight” actually wants to lose fat, not just scale weight. If you’re interested in health, this is definitely you: fat loss is the only type of weight loss that even arguably improves health. If you’re interested in looking “lean” or “toned,” this is also you.
Typically, when the number on the scale goes down, you’ve lost some fat, but also some lean mass (muscle, organ mass, etc.). For health reasons and for aesthetic reasons, you probably want to keep that second number (lean tissue loss) as low as possible.
Eating enough protein – around 40% of calories – can probably help. Some supplements, like BCAAs might also be useful. But what helps even more is exercise. Even though it doesn’t cause weight loss on its own, exercise is still a powerful tool for making sure that weight changes (loss or gain) go in the direction you want (fat loss/muscle gain) instead of turning into a problem (muscle loss/fat gain).
Top Reasons why FAT LOSS and RECOMPOSITIONING is more beneficial than WEIGHT LOSS

1. Better Overall performance. Although most people don’t make their livings playing sports, many do enjoy competing with friends and family. A Recompositioning plan can help you run faster and jump higher, negating the performance limitations of carrying around an extra 5, 10, 20, or more pounds on your body. “When you lose the fat, you automatically become more athletic,” he says. “So, if you want to improve your sport performance, an effective fat-loss program could be just the edge you need to outperform the competition.”
2. Improved strength. The less excess body weight you carry around, the more reps with heavier weight you can lift to continue building muscle and increasing strength. The more body weight you carry (i.e., body fat), the weaker you’ll feel and the less work you’ll be able to complete. Plus, you might not even be able to complete enough reps of certain exercises to create an optimal training stimulus for increased muscle and strength, meaning your time in the weight room is not as effective as it could be if you were leaner.
3. Better cardio conditioning. Not only will extra weight hold you back in the weight room, but it can also hinder your ability to have greater endurance and recover better. “It’s glaringly obvious that you’ll get tired and quit faster when you’re carrying around extra weight than you would if you had less body fat using up energy.”
4. Increased energy. The more body fat you have, the sooner you will get tired and feel the need for an energy boost. Following a fat-loss plan, however, will help you become more energy efficient. This will not only make you feel better throughout the day, but it will also save you money because you won’t have the need to buy expensive energy drinks.
5. Less joint pain. Losing fat helps to minimize the risk of putting undue stress on your joints. While exercise and an active lifestyle can help keep joints healthy, too much stress can cause them to break down and become less healthy.  Considering the design and function of the joints, it is clear that carrying around excess body fat can turn otherwise healthy activity and exercise into activity that overloads the joints beyond their capacity and causes injury. Also the additional body fat can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis.
6. Healthier weight. Extra body fat places more stress on the heart and puts you at greater risk of health concerns such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart attack. Maintaining a healthier weight can result in a body that looks good on the outside while also being healthy on the inside.
7. Less stress. Exercise is already a great way to relieve stress, and Fit Emmett’ Recompositioning Method is an easy-to-follow and scientifically based system is focused on principles of sensible eating and fitness to shift your body composition —not fads that will go out of style in a few years. That means you just have to put in the work and not worry about the confusion created by conflicting information and constantly changing fitness and diet trends.
8. Less anxiety and depression, improved brain function, and better sleep. While exercise has been shown to reduce anxiety and depression, it has also been shown to improve brain function. If you are regularly exercising, your body will need to rest and recover, therefore making it more likely that your sleep will improve.

The “Great Debate” so while Training my small group personal training Clients this morning we were discussing how many calories are burned while chewing. This discussion came up because I told them that watching weight loss shows like the #biggestloser and other shows don’t help you burn calories. They brought up a valid point because most people are eating while watching TV and they of course remembered at one point I told them that eating burns calories also even while you are consuming calories. 🤔 #noexcusesnovember

The Million Dollar Question: I am new to the keto diet and lifestyle. Where do I start?


Start with the fun part, what to eat! You will need to gain a knack for measuring, recording and reading nutrition labels. Every person is different, thus carb tolerances differ, however generally when you are starting the ketogenic diet you should not exceed 25 grams of net carbs per day (net carbs=total carbs-fiber). Additionally protein consumption should be between 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. But, instead of doing all this by hand, use our favorite keto calculator here:

http://www.ruled.me/keto-calculator/

After you have figured out what you can eat, plan your meal prep. This is as essential as the actual food you eat on a ketogenic diet. You do not want to be caught without snacks or without knowing what to eat in a bind. There are a lot of good recipes and resources, here's a couple that we have used:

http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html
https://www.verywell.com/top-ready-made-low-carb-foods-at-the-grocery-store-2242527
http://www.mydreamshape.com/low-carb-fast-food-options-keto/

Exercise. If you intend to live an active keto lifestyle it's important to note that initially performance may decline but will quickly rebound with adaptation--and use of exogenous ketone supplementation can mitigate most of this decline!

Adaptation into nutritional ketosis takes weeks. Every person is different but for a male expect an adaptation period of three to five weeks, for women four to seven weeks, assuming strict diet adherence. The good news is once you are keto-adapted, or into nutritional ketosis, you can play with carbohydrate tolerances to determine if you can increase carbs to higher levels before being "kicked out" of ketosis. To determine success, test ketone levels regularly. Ketone levels can be tested three ways:

1. Blood (most accurate): Blood meters measures beta-hydroxybutyrate in blood. To measure, you can use a blood ketone meter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Precision-Blood-Glucose-Monitoring-System/dp/B000N64MZA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1478208914&sr=8-2&keywords=blood%2Bketone%2Bmonitor&th=1. However, you must also purchase blood ketone test strips, sold separately. For blood testing methods, we recommend several tests at thirty, forty-five and an hour and fifteen minutes after ingestion of ketones. Blood values are measured in mmol/l.

2. Urine (easiest, least expensive): Ketone Test Strips show the excess concentration of Acetoacetate in the urine, or in other words, unused ketones that are being excreted. These strips will clearly indicate whether or not ketones are present in the body, but are not indicative of maximum ketone levels achieved during diet and/or supplementation. For urine testing methods, we recommend testing two to three hours after ingestion of ketones.

3. Breath: Breath analysis measures acetate in your breath. Breath ketones are measure in PPM (Parts per Million). For directions, refer to device instructions.

And there you have it. Eat meat, cheese, eggs and minimal carbs and, ta-da! Ketosis...well, kind of. Be patient and remember that each person's body reacts differently. Let us know if you have any questions. We answer all sorts of questions, even those not product related. We are here to help!
