“But, Pau, why don’t you start a blog? And you should name it “The Belgian Palate”! Let me check on Instagram if that name is taken”... And this is how it began!

Ooooh, it has been a while since I wanted to write about this subject! For the few guys reading my blog (I wish!), you might not want to dismiss this article so fast :-), chances are, you have some women in your life you care about.

Have you ever noticed that as soon as a new documentary comes out on Netflix, everyone falls in love with a new nutrition concept (that they didn’t even know existed before) and starts promoting the crap out of it as if their life depended on it. Some people start drinking Herbalife from breakfast to dinner,… Continue reading Nutrition isn’t Religion!
I wanted to step out of nutrition for a sec (or an article), to address a topic that I particularly enjoy: Mindset.

While everybody is probably throwing the most inspiring [*insert appropriate word here*] all over your social media feed, I wanted to do something a bit different, even though that would still fall under this “2020 Resolutions” category.

"Sleep your way to the top!" - Arianna Huffington I run into so many people that tell me that even despite all their best efforts , they can’t get a good night's sleep (wondering what they mean by best effort though). Whether it's because they simply don’t get enough sleep (I’m guilty of that one),… Continue reading Let Me Introduce You to the Love of My Life: Sleep! Part 3
