What am I supposed to eat if I don't like to eat veggies?

You should always try to get your nutrients from foods first. You can try to grate vegetables into your sauces so as not to taste them. Try different fruits or vegetables to see if you find some you may like. Try some of the fruit or vegetable juices on the market. There are also good supplements the best I have found is Shakeology which is as close to eating vegetables as you will get without actually eating them. It's very tasty comes in two flavors (green berry and chocolate). You can read all about Shakeology at: http://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/

Hey Coach Glen, I was in a rush this morning and worked out before having breakfast. I crashed mid-way through the workout. Any suggestions for pre-workout eats when on a tight schedule? Don't want to crash again! Thanks.

It's better if you don't have breakfast before your workout. Your body will lose more fat when working out on an empty stomach. Also eating before a workout may cause cramping. To prevent crashing you should increase your calorie intake. I like to do a protein shake a few hours before bed. Also using creatine will give you more stamina during your workout. I recommend beach body products. Performance formula or Mens Strength and Muscle formula. If you feel you must eat before the workout I would suggest using shakeology.

What is the best regimen (workout and nutrition) for building mass?

Great Question!! I really depends on your current physical makeup. If you are heavy you will want to turn fat to muscle and lean out so that would require a low-carb diet and good workout program something like Power 90 or P90X. If you want to bulk up your diet would change you would want to add more carbs and increase your calories. P90X is great for this also but you will want to use heavy weights and reach fatigue with less reps. If you have a high metabolism you may find that you need to use weight gain supplements.

COACH GLEN! THIS BLOG IS AWESOME, THANKS FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS... DO YOU RECOMMEND DOING P90X OR INSANITY FIRST? CAN YOU COMBINE THE PROGRAMS? WHAT SUPPLEMENTS DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR MAX RESULTS? I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO PREPARE MEALS SO I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A POTENTIAL MEAL REPLACEMENT. RECOMMENDATIONS? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Thank You for the nice comments about the blog. I would recommend doing P90X first. After you have completed a complete round of P90X then is the time to mix it up. You can then combine P90X and Insanity to get insane results. You should take vitamin and nutrient supplements that are designed for the extreme workout you will be doing. I suggest Team Beach Body P90X Peak Health Formula it is designed specifically for this kind of workout. After the workout there is period where the body is ready for a boost of additional vitamins and nutrients I suggest using Team Beach Body Peak Recovery Formula within 1 hour after your workout. This will keep you from feeling worn out and reduces the soreness you will have the next day. If you want a little extra boost during your workouts creatine is great for that. It will help you to get a few extra reps pumped out. I suggest the Team Beach Body Mens Strength and Muscle. It is designed to allow the creatine to be quickly absorbed into the blood stream. As a meal replacement I suggest Shakeology. It is a meal in a glass. Unlike other protein drinks Shakeology has full servings of fruits,vegetables, and anti-oxidants making it a complete and healthy meal. It comes in two flavors (green berry and chocolate). I personally use every one of the supplements I have suggested and get awesome results from them.
