Episode Details

The answer isn’t just more protein or eating garbage snacks and fast food…

This is a throwback to where much of Blue Grit started- simply sharing some health/fitness/nutrition advice for a first responder (and general) community that needed it!  It usually isn't an issue of not knowing where to look- but how to sift through the noise to simple, practical advice.

Those who feel like they are eating well, working out and still super duper lean/thin are often called "hard gainers."  No, this isn't common- most people that can't gain weight aren't eating that much, aren't lifting that hard, or are actually "skinny-fat."  (I fell more into that camp, never really that lean outside of a ton of effort in the nutrition/diet vein).

For the truly lean ones- who have a hard time getting those calories in- this one's for you! I've worked with many through the years and share tangible tips (beyond just eating more protein) that works for the busiest, patrol car pushing, self-diagnoses ADHD, busybody shift workers there are.  Listen in and share with your fellow night-stick team representative!
