If you can’t afford healthy food… sell the house!
By · CommentsIf it’s not one thing it’s another. Boo fuckin’ hoo … Rocco you say that you should eat organic fruits and vegetables, organic grass fed and grass finished beef, bison, elk, venison and yak but I can’t afford to eat like that. That kind of food is too expensive!
This is what I hear on a regular basis from people who are fat and are starting to have stress and obesity related health problems. If you don’t pay now you will definitely pay later… and instead of enjoying good healthy food that tastes great and is more nutritious… you will be spending the same amount or more on medications that I know have a disgusting taste and are going to just help you prolong your death. If you don’t believe me just ask all the people that are sucking life out of the American healthcare system.
I was so irritated after a phone call I received today that I had to do a podcast about it. Click on the audio player below to start listening to it.

My client Sarah Chapman… Wins Miss Nevada USA
By · Comments
It really couldn’t have happened to a nicer person in the whole world. Sarah Chapman has won Miss Nevada USA for 2011… and I am so proud of her.
I met Sarah and her Miss California USA 2004 sister, Ellen and mother Beezy at the Miss USA Pageant for the 2009. I don’t think I have ever met or seen a family as close or as humble as the Chapman family is.
After the Miss USA we became friends and she asked me to become her trainer for Miss California USA… I did. Her dedication was beyond anything I’d expect from a professional athlete… She had passion, courage and a strange tenacity to get the job done and to be the best she could be. I really appreciated that.
This year she was offered a job in Henderson, Nevada and found out she loved the Las Vegas area. She loves children and became director of a school for little children (she told me what her title was but I really wasn’t paying attention). She called me up and told me she was giving the USA System one more shot as she entered the Miss Nevada USA Pageant and asked me again to help her with her fitness goals… I again said I would.
As she works towards winning the Miss USA Crown I know that no better person in the world should be Miss USA. Congratulations Sarah… keep living your dreams.
Brian Grasso… Stay off the Paved Road
By · CommentsThere are not many people that I can say impress me with their authenticity… I can count them on one hand. Brian Grasso, founder of the International Youth and Conditioning Association does with out a shadow of a doubt.
I had an opportunity to work with Brian for a little while when he was deciding to take his “brand” a little more personal. Although he was a client on the business side of askROCCO as we prepared him for a motivational performance he did in a suburb of Chicago, I was able to capture this unbelievable moment in time. I’m so glad I did… and I hope you do too.
What really impressed me was that he was able to let himself be who he really was… a real person who cares about people. He was able to take us on a tragic journey with heartfelt agony and bring us back on solid ground in a positive direction.
I implore you to listen to this awe inspiring story of one of the greats in our industry. Thanks Brian.

The AbRocket… Celebrities Abs and Kim Kardashian
By · CommentsI think this is definitely one of my favorites… not only because the announcer tells me what worthless celebrities are using it to get there amazing six packs but because it trains your abs because it helps you on the way up. Oh yea… and it gives you a great massage while doing your ab workout… holy shit! I’m in heaven!
It was also featured on The View.. and countless other shows that charge for promotion (anywhere from $10,000 – 30,000 dollars for Barbara Walters and her minions to try out your “Ab Catapult”… I mean Ab Rocket.
Now here is the clincher… you have to buy it now because Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner tell you that’s how Kim got her curvy body into “Reality TV” shape. I am so friggin’ sold I want to buy at least 6 for me and all my fat friends… thank you Kim for giving me that peace of mind.
Why don’t you try the workout Kim Kardashian would never go near to Lose Weight Fast … http://lose30inthirty.com
Sugar: The Bitter Truth… NOT!
By · CommentsTwo huge points he made in the beginning need some clarification.
1) Genetics have “absolutely” changed in the last 30 years. The gene pool has become so mixed from different races as well as different cultures that the American skeleton and musculature is way different than it was 30 years ago.
2) Fructose is not the problem… “free floating” fructose is the problem, such as what is in High Fructose Corn Syrup. Fructose, the sugar from fruit does not act in the body the same way as it does when delivered through High Fructose Corn Syrup. Fructose when eaten in fruit is burned… and quite efficiently, I might add. Fructose delivered to the body as High Fructose Corn Syrup is stored directly as fat from the liver because your body burned the sucrose molecule and left the fructose floating around aimlessly. So the body in it’s own wisdom snatches it up and stores it so it can cause any potential damage.
I wish these doctors would get it right… now we will have millions of people thinking they shouldn’t be eating fruit… which by the way is better than vegetables for your digestive system but that’s for another post.
Here’s a little audio commentary from Rocco himself:
