Tennis elbow, quarterback shoulder, and jumper’s knee are forms of tendonitis, a painful but preventable injury. Tendonitis is your body’s way of telling you to STOP putting so much stress and pressure on your body. Tendons are connective tissues that hold muscles to bones. When muscles expand, tendons react causing bones to move. The tissue will fix itself quickly if the damage is slight or happens only sometimes. But pain can become constant if the damage happens often.

Tendonitis is something I have been currently dealing with, and if I can give any advice it would be to take rest and don’t fight through any pain in your tendons. It is important to take rest days as much as it is to go to the gym. It will set you back for an even longer period of time.

The Keto diet was first created in 1923 to treat epileptics. Its popularity since then has increased tremendously. Athletes, as well as any average person trying to build muscle or shred fat may use this diet. The Keto diet releases Ketones into the blood stream. Cells in are body prefers to use blood sugar as the bodies main source of energy. Blood sugar are found in Carbohydrates. With the absence of carbs, the body starts breaking down any stored fat into molecules called ketone bodies, which is called ketosis. Once you reach ketosis (which can take 10 to 14 days) your body will use ketone bodies to generate energy. You are allowed to consume 20 to 50 carbs the first few days in order to start transitioning your body to a different stage, but once you transition, you will notice that your body will get used to eating proteins and healthier fatty foods that do not have carbs. While on this diet, I noticed a significant amount of energy and focus. Although the transition was difficult, I noticed a significant change in stomach fat and also a noticeable difference in my energy level. I recommend this diet to anyone trying to burn fat in a short period of time.
