Key Nutrition Elements for Success

Personal Nutrition is a key element in both fitness and overall health. Your body is a powerful machine but unless you fuel it properly, just like any machine, it won’t run efficiently. That is why counting calories shouldn't even be considered!  Nutrition will be a major factor in your health and fitness goals, no matter if you are trying to lose weight or build muscles or just looking for energy!

This has been an important area of focus for Beachbody with supplements like Shakeology.
The most important thing is eating whole foods and bypassing the junk, artificial sweeteners and processed foods of low quality. But healthy food alone may not be enough for your body, depending on your activity level and quality of foods in your area.  One of the GURUS on Shakeology is Seay Stanford. If you haven't heard of her, I encourage you to find her blog. I recently attended a session she did on Shakeology. She had a wonderful presentation that she shared. And one of the things that she pointed out was the fact that the majority of us are nutrient and vitamin deficient.  How do you know if you are nutrient or vitamin deficient?  Well are you fatigued all the time?  Are you lacking energy? Cranky? Moody?  Crave junk food all the time? Those are all indicators of having a deficiency in your nutrition!

For me personally, if you have ever heard my story, I "tried" Shakeology and with in ONE week, I felt rejuvenated.  I know for a fact that it WAS the Shakeology that had an impact because I ate clean and exercised a year prior to getting involved in a Beachbody Challenge group and still napped all the time!

For most people your body will benefit from the additional nutritional value that Shakeology has to offer and I am one of those people, not to mention the success stories that I frequently share!

To build great fitness results, as well as your overall health, it is important to eat enough protein to grow muscles or prevent their loss (which happens naturally over years), enough carbohydrates to support brain functions and enough healthy fats for normal functioning of the body (especially important for women). Add vitamins to this and the need for recovery after working out. Then pair that with the hectic and busy lives we live, and you will see how sometimes it can be hard to fulfill all these needs.

That is where our nutrition supplements will help. Check the supplements below to see more details on how each can help you reach your goals.

If you have time to read, I also HIGHLY recommend the book, "Superlife," by Darrin Olien.  It is an easy read and a book you can't put down once you get into it!  The book in details that the average person can understand really explains how the body works and how important nutrition and nourishing our bodies actually is!  

If you are feeling like you could add some pep to your step or are looking for some help to get back on track or to even find the track, I would love to help you reach your personal wellness & fitness goals.  Comment below or email me [Link at the top of the page]
