I help people become more lean, more fit, and more healthy. I emphasize with my clients to lose 1-2 pounds of fat a week in order to keep their metabolism high while still getting fat loss results. However, the contestants of the biggest loser seem to defy my advice by losing a whole lot of weight in a short amount of time while looking great. Here are some of my top key things I see as flaws of ...

I believe that any exercise can have the potential of being “good and healthy.” This week, I have had to reflect on previous comments I made about exercise and video games.

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. They aren’t magic as so many supplement companies promise, but they are the best products available when yo...

This is the New Year and many people have decided they are going to stop their inactive ways and begin exercising. You can tell by the packed gyms across the city. It seems everyone has the bug to shed those extra pounds and become more healthy.

I appreciate eating healthy. I try to do it almost every meal. Sometimes, I want to have a taste of home. Sometimes I just want a good ol’ hamburger, not that turkey mess that people try to pull off as a hamburger. Well, this is the way I make a true 100% BEEF burger that taste great, but still keeps in the rules of power eating. Here are the ingredients:
100% Whole Wheat Buns
Sirloin G...

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...

A couple of sprays of canola oil
Eggs
Sliced tomatoes
Spinach leaves
Diced green onionÂ

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...
