Podcast appearances and mentions of adam rosante

Even though there's a constant back-and-forth debate over eating or not eating carbs for losing weight, there's no question that they're essential for building muscle—especially if you want lean arms, says fitness and nutrition coach Adam Rosante. 

After adding another cookie to the SCL (Standard Cookie List), K&K share about why a particular sports story hurt their heart. The duo is then joined by actor Eric Balfour, who opens up about fame, whether he wants more or less of it, and how yoga has helped him deal with Hollywood. Plus, celebrity fitness and nutrition coach, Adam Rosante, stops by to offer some tricks of the trade.

Do you think you need to make big changes to your lifestyle in order to have a big impact on your health or weight loss goals? Think again. In this episode, Megan and Jon welcome Celebrity Trainer and Fitness Influencer Adam Rosante to talk about why he believes that small changes, one at a time, can have a massive impact on helping you live a happier and healthier life and achieve all of your goals.  Adam talks about his FREE 7-Day Green Smothie Challenge and the immediate impact it is having on some of the participants, how keeping things SIMPLE is the best way to fast results, and his effort to combat childhood hunger with his Good Eats program that delivers weekend meals to public school children.

This week, Rob and Devon talked with their friend and Ketogenic Diet expert, Kristen Mancinelli. Not only is she highly knowledgeable about Ketogenic, but Kristen also has a solid background in Paleo and has written about both diets in various publications including LIVESTRONG.ORG , Paleo magazine, and her own book, The Ketogenic Diet: A Scientifically Proven Approach to Fast, Healthy Weight Loss. Kristen shared a lot of good information on the Open Sky Fitness podcast with us including her own experience with the Ketogenic Diet; what it was like to reach the stage of Ketosis; how many carbs a person should take in on a daily basis; and what are the right and wrong foods to eat while on the diet. We were also able to answer some of our listeners' questions about the topic such as: Can an athlete or active person follow a Ketogenic Diet? and Can you follow a Ketogenic Diet with a busy schedule and still try to consistently workout? Can carbs be included? When beginning a new diet, workout regime, or goal; the more support and positive vibes that we can get from others, the better. That doesn't mean that you should stop believing in yourself and only rely on others, but it's always good to have a support system as well. Devon and Kristen are actually Accountability Partners and they took some time during the podcast to shed some light on the topic and share their insight on why it's good to have an Accountability Partner to help you stay on track of your goals.   About Kristen Mancinelli Kristen Mancinelli, MS, RDN, is a nutrition scientist and educator who is passionate about making science and health information useful for everyone.

Leave us a review at http://www.openskyfitness.com/review This week's podcast is all about good nutrition with a focus on discussing the Paleo Diet with Dr. Loren Cordain. But before our interview with Dr. Cordain, Rob and Devon took some time to talk about the difference between emotional hunger cravings and actual hunger when our stomachs are grumbling for something to eat.  We've all been there when all of a sudden we're craving ice cream, chocolate, chips, or Mc Donald's etc. out of no where during the day. Tune in as Rob and Devon give us some personal tips and answer questions such as: What causes us to emotionally eat? What are our triggers to begin emotionally eating? How can we avoid it and make healthier choices?   If you listen often to the podcast, you may remember that we talk a lot about Paleo on the show so it was an amazing experience for Rob to talk to Dr. Cordain directly about the diet. Dr Cordain is considered to be the Founder of the Paleo Diet and we learned so much from him as he explained the origins of the Paleo diet and his research; what are some of the myths about Paleo vs. the true facts; and how Paleo compares to other diets such as a Plant-based diet or the low-carb Ketogenic Diet and so much more. We could've gone on an on talking about the Paleo Diet with Dr. Cordain! About Dr. Loren Cordain Dr. Loren Cordain is Professor Emeritus of the Department of Health and Exercise Science at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. His research emphasis over the past 20 years has focused upon the evolutionary and anthropological basis for diet, health and well being in modern humans. Dr. Cordain’s scientific publications have examined the nutritional characteristics of worldwide hunter-gatherer diets as well as the nutrient composition of wild plant and animal foods consumed by foraging humans. He is the world’s leading expert on Paleolithic diets and has lectured extensively on the Paleolithic nutrition worldwide. Dr. Cordain is the author of five popular bestselling books including The Paleo Diet, The Paleo Answer, The Paleo Diet Cookbook, and The Real Paleo Diet Cookbook summarizing his research findings.

You can also e-mail Rob@OpenSkyFitness.com or even leave us a voice memo on OpenSkyFitness.com/ Rosante's Ricotta Recipe: Ingredients: 1 qt milk 1 pint heavy cream 3 tbs vinegar Directions: 1)Combine milk and heavy cream in a pot over medium heat on stovetop, stirring frequently. 2)As soon as the mixture comes to a rapid boil, pull it off the heat and pour in the vinegar. Give it a good stir to mix throughout. 3)Leave it to sit for at least 10 minutes. The curds will separate from the whey. 4)Line a fine mesh sieve with dampened cheesecloth and set over a large bowl. 5)Slowly pour the mixture into the sieve and let sit. The longer it sits, the more liquid will drain out and the thicker your ricotta will be. 6)When it's drained to your desired thickness, pour into a bowl. 7)Pairs incredibly well with oven roasted tomatoes and some grilled whole grain bread. Or... just eat it with a freaking spoon! Links: AdamRosante.com Thepeoplesbootcamp.com to register for a class in New York City @AdamRosante The 30 Second Body Our Music: HScottSalinas.com
