Question #1:
What is your take on Nutella? Is Nutella good for you, or is it just clever marketing?

First thing I always look at when I’m analyzing if a food is healthy or not, is the ingredients list. Don’t listen or read the hype that food marketers put on the food labels. Always look at the ingredients.

First Nutella ingredient: sugar

I don’t even need to go any further. In other words, when sugar is the first ingredient in a processed food, you really don’t even need to look at the calories, or anything else.

Nutella should not be in your house. Also, I have seen these Nutella commercials, and I cringe every time I see them. It’s sad that parents are deceived into feeding their kids Nutella, because they think Nutella is healthy. Do not eat Nutella because you think it is healthy. Nutella is not healthy. Stick to natural, one ingredient nut butters like almond butter.

Question #2:
My favorite drink is Monster Khaos and everyone tells me that it’s worse than soda.

Don’t make drinking energy drinks a part of your everyday lifestyle. Limit your consumption by having an energy drink on occasion, when you really need it.

Question #3:
Can certain types of food affect kids with ADD? Do you have any suggestions for foods that a teenager with attention deficit disorder (ADD) may like to eat? I prefer to feed them snacks instead of prepackaged stuff.

I don’t claim to be any sort of expert on attention deficit disorder. I do know that the foods you eat, have such a huge impact on the cells and processes in your body. I did google ADD food allergies, and I read some interesting things.

For example, it’s well known that you should stop feeding your kids unhealthy foods high in sugar. However, there were also a lot of other natural foods listed, that were not recommended for kids with ADD to eat. Again, since I’m not properly trained on this topic, I’m not comfortable making any recommendations, since I just don’t know enough about it. I would recommend you talk with your doctor or naturopath about it, so you can get an educated opinion on it.

Question #4:
Should your carb intake for post workout meals be less when you train smaller muscles (less intense)?

When you’re training big muscle groups, such as your legs, back, or chest, you are using up a lot of the glycogen in your muscle cells. This means you could consume, and absorb, a higher amount of carbohydrates.

If you’re working smaller muscle groups, you’re not burning as much muscle glycogen. Therefore you could consume less carbohydrates.

Question #5:
Do you do full body workouts or do you do splits?

If I’m looking to add size and mass, I would focus on training split muscle groups. The training phase that I am in right now is maintenance mode, meaning most of my workouts are circuit workouts, where I train my full body.
