The New Vanilla Shakeology has finally arrived.  It has been a long time coming as well.  Back at the 2010 coach summit, Carl Daikeler (the CEO of Beachbody), announced that Vanilla Shakeology may never happen.  This was due the the fact that it is extremely difficult to get an Organic Vanilla flavor without cutting the […]

  One of the main questions that I get asked consistently is in regards to nutrition.  I believe that nutrition is the KEY to getting extreme results with any fitness program that you choose.  Each program (P90X, Insanity, TurboFire, PUMP, etc) comes with a great nutrition plan that you should read and follow.  But, I […]

I may have finally found a great protein bar in QuestBar.  Finding a healthy protein bar is like finding a needle in a haystack.  Most bars are full of sugar, salt, and fillers that are just not healthy.  I have been on a “Quest”, if you will, to find a good clean, healthy protein bar […]

Tropical Shakeology is Beachbody’s latest flavor of my favorite supplement that I take, Shakeology. There are a few changes that go well beyond just the flavor however. For starters, Tropical Shakeology is VEGAN! What exactly does “Vegan” mean?  Vegan is a term used for products/diets that contain absolutely no animal products, including dairy.  That means […]

The Holidays are here, and with the holidays comes food, parties and good times.  Food temptation is around every corner, but doesn’t mean that you have to gain weight over the holidays.  The best Healthy Holiday tip I can give you is to HAVE A PLAN.  Yes, I know that Holiday parties, traveling and busy […]

There is some debate as to which is the best source of whey protein.  There has been those who have said that Isolate is the best form due to the high concentration of protein per scoop, others say that it is too highly processed.  That leaves concentrate as being a better source…or does it?  I […]

Once again I stumbled upon a great article that I wanted to pass on to all of you.  Tony Horton wrote on the Huffington Post about the benefits of Fitness and how it can change your life if you let it.  I know that some of you struggle with your health/fitness.  It becomes something that […]

Cold and Flu season is upon us.  Right around now you start to hear those around you getting sick, sneezing and coughing.  Though we can boost our immune systems by Exercising, eating well and taking the proper vitamins, (for me it’s Shakeology), it is pretty much inevitable that we will get some sort of cold/flu […]

  I wanted to make today’s post nutrition oriented, so I decided to take share with everyone this great article that I came across last week.  Nutrition can be a tricky subject, and when you think you’re eating something healthy you may not be. There are foods out there that can fool you.  You see, […]

I first tried PB2 at the Beachbody Headquarters during the P90X2 rehearsals.  The Shakeology master (Brian) was there mixing up some cholate Shakeology for us and he told me to check out this “PB2 stuff”.  I was pretty amazed by the fact that it was claiming to be Peanut Butter but was only 45 calories.  […]

As I was learning about health and fitness in general, doing research and absorbing information like a sponge, I kept coming across the health benefits of Omega 3s.  I tend to go first be skeptical about any hyped up supplements so I did my research and found out that Omega 3s are actually as beneficial […]

I keep telling you about all the benefits of the super foods that can be found in Shakeology that provide antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids and prebiotics. I talk about the 70+ whole food ingredients […]

So you want to have a cheat meal but you’re not sure whether or not it will deter your results?  This is something that many people struggle with, including myself when I first started P90X.  As most of you know, I consider results to be as high as 80% coming from your nutrition with the […]

“How do I lose belly fat” is a question that I get constantly.  Whether it be from men looking for a 6-pack to women looking to look good in a bathing suit, it seems like everyone wants to lose weight around their belly.  I have heard people doing crunches till they can’t move, taking fat […]
