Yoga for Regular Guys: The Best Damn Workout on the Planet!

most important meal of the day for me is breakfast. Every morning I make ten eggs to make sure I get my protein. That’s right, ten eggs. Now, five of those yolks I throw away because I don’t want all the extra cholesterol, but I do want the protein. Even though I eat these eggs every day, I never eat those eggs exactly the same way. One day, I may have them with cheddar cheese and ketchup, the next, it could be with corn, mushrooms, onions, artichokes, salsa, black beans, cream cheese, or you name it. There are so many ways to eat eggs in a healthy way and make them taste great that some day, I’m going to put out a cookbook called
Cooking for Regular Guys
. In addition to my eggs, I also have two pieces of Ezekiel 4:9 Cinnamon Raisin bread. Ezekiel 4:9 is not your regular type of bread. It looks like regular bread, but it is actually 100 percent flourless, sprouted whole-grain bread. It’s a complete protein, and it’s absolutely delicious.
    Sometimes, I may even have a bowl of certified organic multigrain hot cereal; if you add blueberries, cranberries, cut apples, peaches, pine nuts, walnuts, or anything else you like to the cereal, it will taste incredible. My bros come over all the time for breakfast because they know they are never going to get the same thing twice.

    You may not get the healthy and organic ingredients if you are eating on the road, but you can try to duplicate DDP’s “Mega Breakfast” even when traveling. You should see the terrified looks on the faces of our waitresses when we order breakfast at the Cracker Barrel restaurant.
    The rest of the day I try to eat as much chicken, steak (cow or buffalo), and fish as possible. If I’m going to eat carbs, I do it in the morning or afternoon, because I still have time to burn them off. I try to combine all of these meals with some kind of vegetable or salad, but sometimes because I take in so many veggies with my juicing, I’ll just eat my protein by itself, though never without some kind of seasoning or marinade on it.
    You see, guys, I eat pretty damn healthy. But if it didn’t taste good or great, there is no way that I would continue to eat healthy. I believe it has to taste good if I am ever going to stay in this type of ritual, which has become my

LAST BUT NOT LEAST:WATER
    Did you ever wake up with a nasty hangover and dry mouth that felt like someone emptied dirty cat litter in your face while you were sleeping? Or did you ever have your heat turned up nice and high on a cold night and woke up dried out and feelin’ shitty? Well guys, dehydration is the culprit, and the answer is simple: Drink more water—your health depends upon it!
    There is air, and then there is water. They are both essential to life. Air is everywhere, and sometimes, it’s even clean enough to breathe. The problem is, most of us don’t drink enough water each day. But why is water so important and how much do we really need?
    YOGA-DOC SAYS …
    Our bodies are composed of roughly 60 to 70 percent water, and if we begin to dehydrate even slightly, our muscles will become weaker and less responsive, our blood volume will decrease (not a good thing), and every function from nutrient transport to waste removal and from acid/base balance to hormone regulation could be impaired. Unfortunately, our thirst signal doesn’t set off the alarm until we are 1 to 2 percent dehydrated. This is too late if we plan on being our best at all times. We need to drink at least 3 to 4 quarts of clean water throughout the day but preferably between meals, whether we feel thirsty or not.
    I mention clean water because, no matter where you may be reading this book, you can bet that the tap water in your location is neither clean nor pure. The saying used to be, if you go to Mexico, don’t drink the water. I like to say, don’t drink the tap water anywhere unless you want a bacteria, treated sewage, and chlorine cocktail! Your best bet is to find some kind of water purification system. Carbon filtration or reverse osmosis systems are time tested and do a more than adequate job. Bottled water that’s labeled filtered, purified, ozonated, or distilled is also very good.
    Another way to make sure that you are properly hydrated is to check to see if your urine is clear rather than yellow. If your urine is clear and you are visiting the restroom a minimum of six times per day, then
you’re
in the clear.
    Water acts like coolant for your car. It helps
