It\u2019s finally here, folks!<\/p>\n

For longer than I\u2019d care to admit, I\u2019ve been hard at work behind the scenes crafting something that I hoped could get anyone into the kitchen to cook their first healthy meal.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve said it before (and I\u2019ll say it again), but the quality of your diet is 80% of the equation if you want to look better and feel better. And improving the quality of your diet is all but impossible if you don\u2019t know how to cook a few meals from scratch.<\/p>\n

With the ubiquity of cheap, tasty, fast, and unhealthy food we as a culture are literally forgetting how to cook. Where once these vital skills were handed down from generation to generation, we now need to fend for ourselves if we want to learn how to prepare healthy food.<\/p>\n

With kitchen hacking becoming more and more of an important skill I know that most of us guys need more than just a heavy cookbook with limited illustration and an unwieldy amount of recipes to get started.<\/p>\n

Whether you are a college student with limited kitchen access or a bachelor living on microwaveable mac and cheese, I\u2019ve been thinking about you in every step of this process.<\/p>\n

Why Kitchen Hacking 101?<\/h2>\n

I wrote a good post (if I do say so myself) a couple weeks back outlining the purpose and philosophy of the kitchen hacking movement<\/a>, but here\u2019s a brief refresher.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t buy into the idea that there is one \u201cmagic bullet\u201d that will solve all of everyone\u2019s health and fitness problems.<\/p>\n

Not counting macronutrients, not particular supplements, not a specific eating schedule, and not certain exercises and workouts.<\/p>\n

Instead, I think that your health and fitness are the results of countless variables, and differences in body chemistry and psychology mean that we all have unique challenges and solutions.<\/p>\n

However<\/em>, if you look at the world at large, the one common theme uniting healthy, lean, and strong people is that they eat primarily minimally-processed real food.<\/p>\n

If I had to pick one thing with the highest probability of helping you look better and feel better, it\u2019s definitely learning how to cook most of your food from scratch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, it\u2019s not going to work for everyone. But it will work for most of you.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Inside Kitchen Hacking 101<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a more specific breakdown of what\u2019s inside the course.<\/p>\n

First off is a science lesson where I debunk some common nutrition myths. Unfortunately, we all have some faulty ideas surrounding food that lead us to make poor eating choices.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only after we understand what we should really<\/em> be avoiding in order to get fit and what really<\/em> constitutes a healthy diet that we can roll up our sleeves and get to work in the kitchen working with the correct raw materials.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, I\u2019ll walk you through what exactly<\/em> you need to stock your kitchen with in order to get started. (Hint: you need a lot<\/em> less than what you think.)<\/p>\n

Next up, I have a tutorial on how to peel, slice, chop, and dice your food. This is perhaps the most intimidating part of this course due to the knifework, but I have extensive annotated pictures that will show you exactly<\/em> what to do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And speaking of annotated pictures\u2026 I have presented a foolproof recipe that I guarantee that any newcomer to the kitchen can complete. This is your first step in kitchen hacking mastery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, I will give you a specific action plan so that this doesn\u2019t turn into just another one of those information products that you don\u2019t end up doing anything with. This course is specifically designed for you to take action and start taking control of your health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And if that ain\u2019t enough, I have one \u201cbonus\u201d recipe for extra credit as well\u2026 and it goes great<\/em> with the meal I walk you through as the main part of the course.<\/p>\n

In addition to all this, you will also receive a free subscription to Lean, Mean, Virile Machine. Every Friday (okay, almost<\/em> every Friday) I publish a new article here and you\u2019ll get it delivered straight to your inbox, no need to give yourself carpal tunnel typing http:\/\/theguycancook.com\/blog all the time! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Lastly, I plan to keep people on the mailing list more \u201cin the loop\u201d than those who aren\u2019t with all the other cool stuff I\u2019ve got coming up in the future.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m giving away this entire thing to you for free.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All you need to do is enter your email address in the form at the bottom of the page, and you’re ready to get started!<\/p>\n

My Promise to You<\/h2>\n

Like many of you, I have signed up for a gazillion mailing lists in return to access to an email course or ebook. While a few of them have been great, most of them have honestly been kinda bad.<\/p>\n

They consist of slapped-together content and are truly just one big blog post reformatted as a pdf or spit into a lot of small chunks.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n

I wanted to literally create the greatest email course in the history of the internet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humble? No. But did I succeed? Well, at the very least I think this beast is up there. I\u2019ll let you<\/em> be the judge of that.<\/p>\n

I think this thing is incredibly valuable, especially to those of you who are looking to amp up your health and fitness and yet haven\u2019t tackled the kitchen.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve said a million times before, learning how to cook is probably the best skill you can learn in your quest to look better and feel better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But enough of the sales pitch. You know by now if you want in or not.<\/p>\n

(Oh yeah. I hate spam just as much as you do and will always respect your privacy. While you\u2019ll get site updates and first dibs on the products I have coming up in the future, I\u2019ll never share your address with anyone. And you can always opt out at the click of a mouse.)<\/p>\n
