4 Mother F'n Insights from the Trenches

I used to say to clients that any great diet must be functional and sustainable.   And while that remains true, I have also come to the conclusion that any 'diet' must enhance mind, body and spirit.   Think about diets you've tried or most people's diets out there, it only focuses on the body and because it's rooted in faulty thinking, usually it harms the body in terms of metabolic damage.   Diets can temporarily solve one issue (weight loss) by creating a far bigger issue, which will certainly lead to more weight gain (metabolic damage).   In today's episode, I give you some different ideas to think about and the benefits I've discovered with the Panda Diet in terms of my mind, my body and my spirit.  Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you are ready to have the best year of your life, I have one 1-1 Coaching slot open.  It's pricey, reassuringly so.  Text me if you'd like to have a chat. 908-229-6666

Happy New Year my friend! STOP! Do not set goals like everyone else or like you probably have in the past.   It rarely, if ever works, just like a traditional North American diet, rarely if ever works.   Think that's a coincidence?  Nope, it's called seeing through the Matrix, a big part of what I teach my clients and students.  Because once you see through it, you will see that everything is connected and you'll be playing the game of life with a HUGE advantage, because nearly everyone else is playing by the false rules they've been taught, in so many areas.   Anyways, in this episode, I wanted to give you a different way of setting your yearly goals, one that will excite you and make you feel at peace, rather than setting a New Year's resolution and having that creeping anxiety coming up because you know in your heart that you won't be able to sustain the grind of the hot and heavy pace required by normal standards.   Just a warning, the information in this 500th episode might make you twitch and it will challenge your reality.  Scoff at the ideas if you will, but you won't be able to get that seed of thought out of your mind.   So, proceed with caution and really think if that's a box you are ready to open.   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you are ready to transform for realz, then you still have a day or two to get into my upcoming 6-week Panda Challenge.  Shoot me a text if you'd like more info: 908-229-6666

Fasting doesn't have to be as hard as you think.   Who fed you the line that eating 5-6 times per day, counting your calories and further dividing those calories into your macro counts was easier than fasting?

So many people have well meaning friends and family that want to try and lecture them on the dangers of fasting, which is ironic, because a majority of the time, those well-meaning people don't have good health or good looking physiques.   Today, a long time client texted me a reel from IG that someone had sent her and she wanted to know how to deal with people that lecture her about fasting.  In today's episode, I give some of my views on the nutritionally indoctrinated and how to deal with them, if needed.   I cover the concepts of the relationship between cortisol and insulin, breakfast, the modern Rockefeller system of nutrition, cutting calories and even poking a major hole in the calorie deficit model, even if it were the same as what I teach the Panda Diet and how it would still make zero sense from a Mind Mapping perspective.   Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!  Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - Right now, we are opening the Black Friday special for the upcoming, 6-week, Panda Challenge that begins on January 5th.  It's a legendary program where you will be Coached by me, directly, on my different fasting methods and protocols, with a live call each week and you will be with a bunch of other like minded individuals, giving you an amazing jump off into 2026.  We don't even officially have the landing page up yet (it will be later this week), but if you'd like to get the program HALF OFF, for only $299, then shoot me a text.  We won't have this offer around too long before it jumps the early bird special at $499, then shortly after going to full price at $599.  I am only taking 10 people at this rate, so text me and I will get you the link and details: 908-229-6666  

Last week was a whirlwind.  I went out to Utah for a quick 36 hour trip to hang with my buddy and client, Nate Bailey.  Nate wanted me to experience stem cell therapy and experience it I did!  Then, once I got home, I was off to a seminar for a few hours to learn from a legend in the strength and conditioning industry, Joe Kenn.  In addition, I had the opportunity to hear Brian Koppelman, the creator of Billions, speak about success.   I am always learning and learning from experience in order so that I keep from dying too young.  And, I am not talking about physically dying, I am talking about dying mentally and spiritually.   Tune in to find out what I learned last week, guaranteed you will learn at least one key insight.   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man

We had a great time on our cruise to celebrate my parent's 50th anniversary last week.   I often get the question about what I do on a vacation and what other's should do.  While I can't tell you what you should do, because everyone is different, I do have a certain philosophy when I'm on vacation that allows me to enjoy myself to the fullest while still feeling great.   In this episode, I cover: -Sleep -Drinking -Eating and Fasting -Training on Vacation And, I finish off with telling you about my delayed flight experience that made my half marathon on Sunday a whole heck of a lot tougher.   As always, thanks for the support!  Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you are ready for real, in-depth help from me, shoot me a text and we can discuss options: 908-229-6666

My streak of nearly 500 straight weeks nearly came to an end!  But, I am delayed at the airport coming back from a family cruise and I dialed up a gem for you! I found an old interview I did with my longtime Coach, now deceased, John Meadows.  John aka Mountain Dog, was a legend in the bodybuilding world.   I was fortunate enough to learn directly from John, as well as have him featured in one of my earlier books, soon to be published for the masses (Anabolic Recharge).   John had a HUGE influence on my philosophies on nutrition and yes, even fasting, even though it wasn't something I was practicing at the time, nor did John ever talk about fasting.  But, we did talk about insulin often.   Take a listen to this long lost interview, never before heard by anyone other than a few close friends.   Enjoy and let me know what you think!   Be Unconventional,   Kyle aka Panda Man   P.S. - I just released my new RIPPED DADS book a little more than a week ago and it's killer!  It's over 200 pages and I have workouts, fasting and nutrition protocols, as well as my philosophies on mental and physical strength. Right now, I am still offering it for just $100, if you want the early bird price, shoot me a text at 908-229-6666.
