I do not get paid by anyone to recommend supplements. I am a person who lives in the real world. Power Eating requires many meals throughout the day and I sometimes don’t have the ability to eat all my meals. When this occurs, I turn to Lee Labrada’s Meal Replacement Bars and Shakes.

  I appreciate eating healthy. I try to do it almost every meal. Sometimes, I want to have a taste of home.

If you believe you want to supplement your eating, visit a sports nutritionist to discuss your needs. This is simply my supplement plan I do and I am not prescribing this to anyone. Power Eating to support fitness goals will provide the fuel you need to get to your desired destination. However I do use a few micronutrient (like minerals and vitamins) supplements to make sure I am getting the nutri...

This week has been extremely busy for me, which I am truly glad that people can relate to me and my story. I have been using this time to showcase some older things I have done in the past. Just because it’s old, doesn’t mean it still doesn’t apply! Here is a video spot of Fox 13’s Good Morning Memphis here in Memphis Tennessee. Here, I am talking about a few ways food mar...

Hey everyone. I was on Jason Morgan’s Ultimate Body Blueprint Radio Show back in April of 2008. We talked about our own weight issues and struggles.

This is an old show and I have already don...
