Q: Matt, I watched your Cheesecake Squats video on YouTube. It’s hilarious. But seriously, for real, do you really eat cheesecake or was this just for fun? And by the way if you are eating cheesecake I must admit that you’re looking mighty good in spite of doing so.

A: It was both for real and for fun. I took the battle out of the bulge with a softer approach to nutrition and eating. And based upon my results, eating cheesecake (and ice cream) whenever I want is not only uplifting, it is uprising. I will admit though that it is somewhat oxymoronic and mind-boggling to be doing so well with this “non-trying” approach after decades of hard core, hard work deprivation. The way I see it, what you digest is more important than what you ingest. Everyone is focused on what goes in the mouth instead of what comes out the rear end. Our thinking about food needs to be ass-forwards.

Haven’t seen the Cheesecake Squats video referenced above – See here.
