Hey gang!
There’s nothing more wasteful than giving someone some nutrition advice… and them having to leave my office wondering, “Now what the heck did he say to eat/not eat?”
What’s worse is… not only is it a waste of time (mostly mine, thank you very much) “advice giving” doesn’t hold a candle to “record keeping!”
Take your finances for example:
I’ve been to plenty of “Do this” with your money seminars… and still struggled to pay the rent.
It wasn’t until a special adviser of mine (Mr. Nick Cokinos) came along and said, “Could you tell me how much money you spend each month on advertising?” before I “got it”.
Same with food.
Much like with loot… you don’t realize how much you’re screwing up until you get powerfully related to how much you spend/earn. When I first got this, it changed the speed at which I’d buy clothes.
No longer would I simply see something and just buy it because I was “hungry” for a new sweatshirt that looked cool on me while teaching my PROVEN-TO-WORK system “Palangi Kickboxing”.
Similarly, when you begin THE DISCIPLINE of writing down that which goes into your mouth…. it alters your “spending habits” so to speak.
For example, Stacy Dibona, who has powerfully completed 3 Palangi Challenges, told me….. and I quote “…all of the sudden, a small handful of gummy bears was no longer a little “cheating”… it represented 148 useless sugar-filled calories, and a significant spike in insulin levels, which stops fat-burning for up to 4 to 5 hours!”
That’s called transformation friends.
Stacy’s relationship to food, as a body-altering chemical agent — not just “eating so-so” — was permanently altered.
This is why, when I tell you that (eh-ehm… IF you attend your session – no “if’s-and’s-or fat butt’s”) when you complete (read that again “COMPLETE”) your Palangi Body Challenge…. it’s not that you have more discipline…. it’s that we GIVE YOU THE AWARENESS and POWER to CHOOSE!
And we do it by basically FORCING YOU to keep a food journal, and I’ve even attached a confidential source doc that is copyright protected , but you are welcome to get a look at it and see the wisdom of its application.
I also love the food journal because if there’s one thing that irks me more than someone who bitches about not getting results from their couch instead of standing in front of me…
is the all-too-common moron who, while I’m out enjoying dinner, will accost me and (usually with a drink in one hand – dessert in the other) ask, “Hey aren’t you that trainer guy who made my neighbor lose a bunch of weight?…. Really?…. Cool, so what should I eat if I wanna lose weight?”
And all I gotta do to make em’ go away is say, “Sure… I’ll help you… just go to palangi.com/foodjournal.pdf. Print 10 copies, and fill that sucker out in detail… bring it back to me… and I’ll ask one of the group coaches from our Body Challenges to critique it for you, absolutely FREE… besides, it’ll give the group coaches some experience (and solidify what they already know) and it will help you earn the privilege of having face-time with me at my academy in Norwood, NJ, where I teach, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK — morning and night.”
They usually get sad, realizing that “work” is involved.
In fact, you too, might be thinking, “I’m not the kind of person who likes to (blah blah blah blah friggin blah)”, who also has a self-made “story” about how your life is SO FRIGGIN UNIQUE that you just can’t “write things down”.
And it’s true.
Food journalism IS an inconvenience.
But as I’ve stated thousands of times before:
I AM AN INCONVENIENCE!
I AM INVASIVE… often abrasive, too! And most of all…
I AM INTRUSIVE…
And my staff is nothing short of walking, talking, robot-like mini-Palangi’s, ensuring you get the same results (again, if you get your body in front of mine) on a regular basis…. whether you like IT or ME or, NOT!
Onward.
Where was I?
Oh, yeah, so here I am, 8:30pm Saturday night, getting ready to drive to Boston, MA to teach Palangi Kickboxing at Northeastern University for a lil Master Class, and I have Dawn Howells food journal (she just started a month ago and reports she feels “tighter around here” – hand on her hips) and I realized that there was TWO CRITICAL factors that could be augmented to the document.
So I unpacked the laptop, searched for the source doc… and hammered away at it for two hours straight (I’m not a design major, but sometimes DIY is the best way to go, ya dig?) and here it is…. HOT OFF THE PRESS for you to check out. PALANGI FOOD JOURNAL 2.0
