More Thoughts on Diet and Nutrition for Dinosaurs!

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

We'll talk diet and nutrition in a minute, but
first, allow me to cover three quick notes:


1. The Dinosaur Files Quarterly Journal

I'm working on issue no. 2 of the Dinosaur
Files quarterly journal, so if you'd like to
submit an article, photo or letter -- or a
training question -- or give feedback on
the first issue, pls do it soon!

If you haven't grabbed your copy of the
FIRST issue of the new quarterly Dinosaur
Files -- along with the bonus -- a certificate
of membership in the American Strength
and Health League, signed by Bob Hoffman
and George F. Jowett -- do it now:

2. Autographs

I'm always happy to sign books or courses
for you. There's no charge for an autograph.
Just ask for one in the Special Instructions
section of the on-line order form. And let me
know who to sign it to -- "Jim" or "James",
"Mike" or "Michael", etc.

3. Personal Notes

We also include a personal note with all orders.
I handwrite all of them. Look for it when you
open your package -- it will be there somewhere,
perhaps tucked into your book or course.

On the diet and nutrition front, one of our many
UK Dinos reported that he recently visited the
US, and was struck by:

1. The size of the food portions at restaurants.
He normally has a three-course meal at a UK
restaurant, but our portions are so much larger
that he struggled to eat anything after the first
course.

2. The amount of salt and sugar. Our food has
much more salt and sugar -- or both. Some
foods were so sweet he couldn't eat them.

3. How hard it was to avoid gaining weight.
During a two-week stay -- even though he
did his best to eat smart and avoid overdoing
things, and even though he always bought
his own food and cooked his own meals
whenever he could -- he gained 5 pounds.

Five pounds that he did NOT want to gain.

Five pounds of Lard Lumps -- in two short
weeks.

That's scary -- and more than a little infuriating.
There's no reason that our food needs to be
that unhealthy and that fattening.

And this is why I place so much emphasis on
the quality of your food -- and on buying fresh
food and preparing your own meals (or packing
your own homemade lunch) whenever possible.

And yes, I know it's not easy.

It takes time, and it takes advance planning, and
you need to learn where to shop for high quality
food that's affordable -- but it's well worth the
time and effort.

It's like training.

Training requires time, effort and commitment.
You need to find a good place to train -- or set
up a home gym -- and you need to study up on
HOW to train for best results -- and then you
need to make the time to train -- and to give
your workouts the concentration, focus and
intensity that they deserve.

None of that is easy -- but it's well worth the
time and effort.

Especially if you're a Dinosaur -- and you're
dedicated to doing whatever it takes to build
strength, muscle and power -- and lifelong
health and fitness.

As always, thanks for reading and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik
