Grant Petersen, Eat Bacon, Don't Jog: Get Strong. Get Lean. No Bullshit.

“soda, or pasta, your body converts the carbs in them to a kind of sugar called glucose,”
Grant Petersen, Eat Bacon, Don't Jog: Get Strong. Get Lean. No Bullshit.

“I believed, as so many people do, that it is possible to exercise more and eat less and keep it up for a lifetime. That’s the conventional wisdom, and it’s the biggest lie in health.”
Grant Petersen, Eat Bacon, Don't Jog: Get Strong. Get Lean. No Bullshit.
