ABOUT ME
HOW I STARTED
Hey there, I'm Claire! I have loved to compete & challenge my body for as long as I can
remember. Some of my first memories as a child are doing sit-ups & pushups before
bed & making it my mission to complete more each night. During recess I was
determined to beat all the boys at arm wrestling & racing. When I grew older, my fire was
ignited through my sports. I competitively played soccer, basketball & track for the
majority of my life & went on to fulfill my dream as a hurdler & heptathlete for the
University of Oregon Track & Field team. Although my collegiate athletic career has now
ended, my passion for health & fitness has not. After college I created my own online
fitness business where my mission is to bring you with me on this incredible journey to
healthier & happier heights.
WHY I LOVE IT!

Exercise is my escape. It's my go to feel good that I can't seem to find in anything else. I
am infatuated by the way we can manipulate & design our bodies to grow, strengthen,
stretch, & shed in the ways we are committed to doing so. I truly believe that if we have
control of our bodies, we will have control of our lives & that there is nothing worth more
than investing in our health. If there is one thing more fulfilling to me than reaching a
personal goal, it's helping others reach one of their own. I want to help you! I want to
share with you the tools & skills you can use to create your dream body. More
importantly, I want to guide you to becoming the most confident & best version of
yourself. You deserve it!

BREAKDOWN
The CPT Fit Guide 2.0 is 8 weeks long & is broken into 4 phases. It begins at the
difficulty level that 1.0 leaves off at; therefore, if this guide is too challenging I
recommend starting with 1.0 & working up to 2.0. After each phase, your
workload will increase & so will your results. Get ready for your physical &
mental fitness capabilities to be significantly challenged! Here’s how the phases
breakdown:

HOW IS THIS GUIDE DIFFERENT?
The main difference between the CPT Fit Guide 1.0 and the CPT Fit
R - Guide 2.0 is the use of supersets. A superset is two exercises performed

P E
S ets
back to back with little to no rest in between. I prefer supersets that pair
U
s
opposing muscle groups. As one muscle pushes, the other pulls, providing a
complementary & well rounded workout. For example: Chest (push) &
biceps (pull) are paired, while back (pull) & triceps (push) are
paired. Supersets speed up your workout, increase intensity, burn more
calories & add an extra challenge.
_________________________________________
During the 2nd half of this guide (Phases 3 & 4), you will finish each superset
MAX
r eps
with 1 additional set of maximum reps per exercise. Select a lighter weight
that will result in failure after a higher number of reps. I aim for a max of 15
to 20 reps. I believe that training to failure is an excellent way to challenge
yourself & break through a plateau. The discomfort & stress of the muscle
during the failure point will help increase strength & muscle endurance.
Be sure to keep good form throughout.
_________________________________________________
I wish I could suggest that we all workout twice a day, doing our cardio
in the morning & weight training in the evening. However, most of our
CK
Q rdio
U I schedules do not allow for this, which is why adding quick cardio (QC)
ca
moves between sets is a great way to maximize training time
& efficiency. You will keep your heart rate & metabolism up without
hindering your weight training goals to build muscle. In fact, due to the
change in training, this type of workout could help you bust through a current plateau
because of the change in metabolic disturbance that it places on the body. In other
words, your body will be uncomfortable & that is when results occur. It is important to
choose QC that won't hinder your current weight training workout, & that will also
provide a huge metabolic stimulus. So, on chest day you wouldn't want to choose push-
ups as your QC, but maybe jump rope instead.
FROM PHASE 2 ON, YOU WILL EITHER PERFORM 10-20 REPS OR 30 SECONDS OF QC BETWEEN EACH SUPERSET.
YOU CAN MIX IT UP OR PERFORM THE SAME QC THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE WORKOUT. BELOW ARE 10 OF MY
FAVORITE QC EXERCISES THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM. CLICK EACH TITLE FOR A VIDEO TUTORIAL:
1) Box Jumps 6) Burpees

2) Skiers 7) Star Jumps
3) Tuck Jumps 8) Mountain Climbers

DIETARY PRECAUTIONS:
When partaking in either strength training or HIIT, it is important to adhere to
a healthy diet. When doing both simultaneously, it is imperative. If you
haven't already, I HIGHLY encourage you to use my CPT Fit Fuel Guide in
conjunction with this Guide if you wish to see optimal results. I gathered
everything valuable that I have learned throughout my nutrition journey & put
it all into one E-book. Recipes, nutrition tips, food hacks, supplement help, a
grocery list, product recommendations, a meal plan & more! My hope is that

WARMUP
It is extremely important to gradually warm your muscles & increase your heart rate
prior to each workout in the CPT Fit Guide in order to prepare your body for exercise
& prevent it from injury.
STEP 1: Begin each warm up with 5-10 minutes of steady cardio on a piece of
exercise equipment (treadmill, bike, stair-stepper, rower, elliptical, etc.). Gradually
increase your effort until you start to slightly sweat.
STEP 2: Find an open area & perform 10 reps of each of the following movements:

COOL DOWN
Cooling down after a workout is just as important as warming up. After physical
activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body temperature is
higher & your blood vessels are dilated. A cool-down after physical activity allows a
gradual decrease at the end of your workout.
It’s good to stretch when you’re cooling down because your limbs, muscles and
joints are still warm. Stretching can help reduce the buildup of lactic acid, which can
lead to muscles cramping and stiffness.
After each workout in this guide, hold each of the following stretches for 30
seconds or more. After each HIIT workout, jog for a few minutes before
performing these stretches.

3. 15 MIN TREADMILL, ROW MACHINE OR BIKE INTERVALS

Begin workout by running, rowing, or biking one mile as fast as you can. Perform one of
the three options below for the remainder of the 15 minutes.
Beginner: 20 seconds of work, 40 seconds recovery *

Intermediate: 30 seconds of work, 30 seconds of recovery*
Advanced: 40 seconds of work, 20 seconds of recovery*
*Recovery, in this case, is completely off your equipment. Safely step to the side of the treadmill, rower or
bike and wiggle out your legs while you count your rest time. If you choose to use a treadmill, leave it rolling
while you rest. Be very cautious getting back on. Lower the speed if you need to.
4. MIX UP THE MACHINES!

Repeat the following for 4 total rounds at very high intensity. Rest 1 min between each:

1) stair-stepper for 60 seconds 2) stationary bike for 60 seconds 3) jump rope for 60
seconds 4) rowing machine for 60 seconds 5) treadmill for 60 seconds.

1. ELLIPTICAL FOR LISS
LISS
The elliptical is great because it is low
impact & effective. I prefer using ellipticals
workouts
with moving arm handles to get more of a
full-body burn.
At a steady pace, go forward for 15 minutes

and then pedal backwards for 15 minutes.
2. JOGGING FOR LISS
Start by jogging at a steady pace carrying a conversation would be easy. Begin

jogging inside or outside for 30 minutes & work your way up to an hour as you
build your endurance.
3.
ROWING FOR LISS
Rowing at an intense level for a number of meters for time is a popular CrossFit
workout, but what many people fail to realize is that rowing is also a great steady
state cardio workout.
Row 30 minutes at a brisk pace but keeping the rate as steady as possible. Bump
up the intensity if you feel you can go harder. Ensure that you’re not pushing
yourself too much so you can complete the full 30 minutes.
4.
SWIMMING FOR LISS:
The ultimate full-body workout that is virtually pain free & low impact is swimming.
Changing up the different types of strokes will enable you to work the different
muscles & the natural kicking movement will emulate walking/jogging movements
that will provide a great cardio workout that is great for your joints.
Pick 2 or 3 strokes you are the best at & continuously swim up & down the length
of the pool without letting your feet hit the bottom. Change strokes every 5
minutes. Swim continuously for 20-40 minutes for the full workout.

Claire
Hey, I'm Claire!
From the very beginning, athletics has been
a huge contributor to my life. I grew up
playing sports & I went on to run track for
the University of Oregon as a hurdler &
heptathlete. I still consider myself an athlete
& I hope I always will. My point here is that
physical fitness & exercise comes naturally
to me. Working out is like second nature
because it has been engraved in my routine
for so many years. It is my passion.
Nutrition, on the other hand, is in an entire
different playing field for me & I have
struggled with my relationship with food in
the past. I know I am not alone. After many
ups & downs, including overcoming an
eating disorder, I can finally say that food is
my friend again. We're like besties!
I always worked hard to become the
Captain of my sports teams. I strived to be
a positive example & a strong leader,
always. Letting my teammates down was
never an option for me, & my goals were to
help bring everyone to the top. I am
confident that I will continue to carry that
mentality with me for the rest of my life. ⠀

⠀
I see you all as my teammates. We’re all in
this big, scary, exciting game of life
together! I need you as badly as you need
me - because without support, we would all
fail.
I gathered everything valuable that I have
learned throughout my nutrition journey &
put it all into this CPT Fit Fuel Guide. I
couldn't be more excited to share it with
you!
⠀⠀
My hope is that this Guide helps you use
food as fuel to accelerate you closer to
achieving your goals.
⠀
BE YOUR OWN CAPTAIN.

NUTRITION TIPS
IT IS SO EASY FOR US TO NEGLECT OUR DIETARY NEEDS. YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE FEELING LIKE
YOU'RE TOO BUSY TO EAT RIGHT, PUTTING THE NEEDS OF YOUR FAMILY FIRST, OR TRYING TO
ADHERE TO AN EXTREME DIET THAT LEAVES YOU FEELING CRANKY, HUNGRY, & LOW ON ENERGY.
FIGURING OUT YOUR NUTRITION NEEDS ALL WHILE COPING WITH MEDIA PRESSURE TO LOOK & EAT
A CERTAIN WAY CAN MAKE MAINTAINING A HEALTHY DIET CONFUSING & OVERWHELMING.
BELOW ARE 20 OF MY FAVORITE TIPS THAT WILL HELP YOU GET BACK ON TRACK & MAKE
NUTRITIOUS & HEALTHY CHOICES. THESE ARE THE WHAT I RECOMMEND TO ALL OF MY CLIENTS
& RULES I PERSONALLY LIVE BY EVERY SINGLE DAY.
1. CUT OUT JUNK & PROCESSED FOODS

Avoid refined & processed foods whenever possible. I'm referring to the stuff you hide
in your kitchen cupboards & feel guilty about eating but you do it anyway. If it’s lying
around the house, throw it out & stop buying it! Replace those foods with healthy
alternatives. This leads perfectly into my next tip.
2. SHOP THE PERIMETER

As a good rule of thumb at the grocery store, stick to the perimeter. This is where you’ll
find the sections for fresh produce, meat, seafood & dairy. Sticking to this footpath not
only ensures a quicker shopping experience, but it also means your meals will center
around fresh ingredients & whole foods.
3. CONTROL YOUR PORTIONS

This one isn’t rocket science. Try to keep a handle on portion sizes if you want to tackle
your nutrition head on. Aim for a fist size serving of veggies, a fist size serving of carbs,
a palm sized serving of protein & a thumb sized serving of healthy fats. If you’re in
charge of the cooking, scale back the amount you’re putting on each plate. Even
something as simple as switching out your jumbo-sized diner plates for something
smaller can help.
4. COOK ONCE, EAT TWICE (OR MORE) - AKA MEAL PREP

Think beyond the meal you’re about to eat. Get into the habit of making extra rice,
meat & veggies while you’re preparing meals so you have those ingredients on hand as
a quick & easy meal or add-on later in the week. The great thing about this CPT Fit Fuel
Guide is that most of the recipes are easy to make in larger portions for meal prepping.
When you plan your meals ahead, you set your health goals up for success because
you'll be prepared & less likely to find yourself starving in the drive through. It might take
you a little longer to cook everything initially, but meal prepping saves you so much time
& stress later on. Even though it's the most annoying drawer in the kitchen,
tupperware is your friend!

NUTRITION TIPS CONTINUED
5. EAT OFTEN
I recommend eating 6 times a day (3 meals & 3 snacks). This provides your body with a
consistent & frequent supply of fuel. Eating around every 2.5 hours keeps your energy
levels higher & your metabolism ticking faster. In turn, this makes your body burn more
calories throughout the day & (bonus points) you'll feel a lot less hangry!
6. TAKE IT EASY ON THE FRUIT

While fruit is a great source of fiber & many vitamins & minerals, it is easy to go
overboard & eat too much of it. In turn, your sugar & carbohydrate intake will be
excessive. Rather than ditching fruit all together, try limiting yourself to one serving of
fruit at a time with a meal or snack, just 2-3 times a day.
7. EAT PROTEIN WITH EVERY MEAL & SNACK

Many people think that lots of protein will make you big & bulky. Yes, protein is
important when it comes to building muscle. However, it is also essential in fat loss
because the more lean muscle your body has, the more calories your body burns. When
you include protein in every snack & meal, your body will stay in an anabolic state. This
means that you burn off your fat, while maintaining your lean muscle. This is how you
achieve a tight & toned body. Protein is also the most satiating macronutrient & will
keep you fuller for longer - making it easier to not overeat.
8. FILL UP ON VEGGIES
Vegetables are a low calorie/high volume food. You can eat a lot of them
without consuming too many unwanted calories & you will feel fuller because they
take up a lot of room in your tummy. True vegetables are low in starchy carbs, but high
in fiber. These include foods like broccoli, asparagus, spinach & kale. Corn is high in
starchy carbs & is technically not a veggie, even though most people think it is. The
same goes for potatoes. Corn & potatoes aren't bad to eat, they just shouldn't be
considered veggies on your plate!
9. EAT SLOWLY & ONLY UNTIL SATISFIED

It takes your brain about 15-20 minutes to know that you have eaten enough. This is
why you should aim to have meals last at least this long. A trick I learned that has now
become a habit is to take a sip of water between every 1 or 2 bites. This slows down
your eating, fills you up more so you don't overeat, & keeps you more hydrated! For
weight loss, maintenance & general health, eat only until you are satisfied,
not until stuffed!
10. CRAZY DIETS DON'T WORK!

Fad or short-term diets may provide faster results, but as soon as they end & you start
eating normal again, you will gain the weight right back, & then some! Instead, a
lifestyle change is necessary. I suggest making healthy eating habits a part of daily life
rather than following some limiting plan that is difficult to keep up with & could be
hurting your health.

NUTRITION TIPS

11. DINE OUT ON OCCASION

More often than not, restaurant food is high in sodium & portion sizes are out of
control. Temptation is also higher when dining out & that greasy cheeseburger is hard
to say "no" to. If you absolutely need that burger, swap the fries for a side salad. If you
absolutely need those fries, remove the bun from the burger. I promise you, you won't
starve if you don't order appetizers & dessert! Another good little tip is to box up half
of your meal as soon as it's served & save it for later.
When you eat at home, you are more likely keep control over the quality & quantity of
the ingredients. I love cooking my own meals because I can actually eat more food &
feel guilt free. Not to mention, I save a ton of money! And now you have access to all
my favorite healthy recipes to make dining in easier & tastier!
12. STOP STARVING YOURSELF!

Food is fuel. Food is fuel. Food is fuel! One of the biggest mistakes my clients make
when they first attempt to lose weight is cutting their calories dramatically. Your body
requires a minimum number of calories just to exist. You cannot cut your caloric intake
lower than this amount. The 800-1000 calorie per day diets are dangerous! Your body
cannot survive on such few calories, so it slows down your basic metabolic needs. It
will then store most of the food you consume as fat in preparation for when the
hunger to come. This information is not new, yet many people still insist on starving
themselves in hopes to attain that “perfect body.”
13. EAT BALANCED MEALS & FOODS WITH HIGH FIBER

Never want to consume a meal that consists solely of one macronutrient. If you don't
know, the three macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins & fats.You want to ensure
that each meal includes each of them. For example, plain oatmeal is not a balanced
meal. When you add a serving of nut butter, chia seeds & a handful of berries, it
becomes a balanced meal.
You also want to be sure to consume enough high fiber foods. Women should aim for
25 grams of fiber per day, while men should target 38 grams. Some of my favorite
high fiber foods that I include in my diet are: chia & flax seeds, black beans, broccoli,
Brussel sprouts, avocados, raspberries & oatmeal.
14. DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR MICRONUTRIENTS

Vitamins & minerals are the two types of micronutrients. They play a very important
role our human development & well-being, including the regulation of metabolism,
heartbeat, cellular pH, bone density & more. Without proper consumption of
micronutrients, we put ourselves at risk of many health conditions & diseases. Even
though I eat a well-balanced diet, I find extreme comfort in taking the supplements
Micro-Factor & Opti-Greens 50 every single day. I look at these 2 products like an
insurance policy - a daily guarantee to ensure my body gets the essential vitamins &
minerals it needs. You can learn more about them on page 42.

NUTRITION TIPS CONTINUED
15. EATING FAT WON'T MAKE YOU FAT

Fat can be a scary word to some. However, fats are not to be feared as long as you are
consuming the healthy ones. Fats play a very important role in our body. From lining our
cell walls to assisting in hormone production, it is imperative that we incorporate fat into
our diets on a regular basis. Some fats are better than others, duh! Eating an avocado is
a heck of a lot more nutritious than eating a donut. Healthy fats include those from nuts,
fish & olive oil. These are called mono & polyunsaturated fats. The unhealthy ones are
trans-fats found in processed foods, & saturated fats found mostly in animal sources.
16. DON'T DRINK YOUR CALORIES

Sugary beverages like sodas, juices, alcohol & fancy sweet coffees instantly add to your
daily caloric load & rarely serve any nutritious value. I'm not going to lie & say I never
consume alcohol, because I do! However, I drink it wisely, in moderation & on occasion.
My go-to alcoholic beverage is either white wine or vodka soda water with lime & mint. I
always make sure to drink water with & in between my alcoholic beverages.
This leads into my next tip!
17. DRINK TONS OF WATER

No surprise here – water is your best beverage option. It keeps you hydrated & has ZERO
calories. Whoa! Water also helps you burn fat by curbing hunger, flushes out toxins,
improves your complexion, boosts immunity, increases brain power, provides energy & so
much more! I recommend drinking 12 cups to a gallon each day!
Be prepared for many, many potty breaks
18. CHEAT A LITTLE!

Let's talk about cheat meals. I encourage them! However, too much cheating can
compromise your results & encourage poor eating habits. ONE unhealthy meal per
weekend is what I suggest. I definitely don't recommend going more than one month
without a cheat meal, because when you deprive yourself completely of all the bad
foods, you'll most likely lack enjoyment in your diet & eventually overindulge, causing a
setback. I like to plan my cheat meals for after a tough workout. It is important not to
turn your one meal into a whole day of overindulging. Hopefully you'll love the healthy &
filling recipes in this Guide so much that you won't crave those cheat meals as often!
19. YOU CAN HAVE DESSERT & EAT IT TOO!

Hi, my name is Claire & I’m a chocoholic. Seriously though, I eat chocolate every single
night & believe it or not, it's actually good for me! How? Because I created sweet,
satisfying & healthy dessert recipes that I you get to indulge in now too! Protein powder is
always the main ingredient in these tasty treats. Protein before bed gives your body
important amino acids to use for muscle recovery while you sleep. This means that instead
of having to put protein synthesis on hold, your body can continue building, toning &
repairing muscle tissue through all hours of the night.
20. DON'T STRESS

By getting your nutrition in order, you will be substantially closer to earning the body
you're looking for. Remember that if you do fall off your plan, don't stress. You're human &
you're not perfect! Pick up where you left off & remember why you started.

Snacks
Snacking is an extremely important part of your diet. If you aren't eating at least 2-3
snacks a day, you aren't eating frequently enough. When we go too long without food,
our bodies go into a catabolic state - meaning we begin to burn our hard earned
muscle. By eating more frequently, our bodies will stay in an anabolic state - meaning
we will burn fat & the food we consume, while maintaining our lean muscle. We won't
overeat at meal time because we won't be starving from going hours without food.
.More snacks also means more energy throughout the day!
Not all snacks are created equal. Many snack foods available today are high in refined
carbs & sugar, which can leave you feeling unsatisfied & craving more food. The key is
to make sure your snacks are nutritious & full of protein. Protein promotes fullness
because it signals the release of appetite-suppressing hormones, slows digestion &
stabilizes blood sugar levels.
I eat 3 big meals a day and 3 snacks in between, dessert being my final
snack. Typically, 2 out of 3 of my snacks are made with my Level-1 protein powder.
MY FAVORITE SNACKS:
-LEVEL-1 PROTEIN SHAKES, MUFFINS, OR MUG CAKES (SEE RECIPES ABOVE)
-DANNON LIGHT & FIT GREEK YOGURT W/ BERRIES OR CEREAL
-CARAMEL QUAKER RICE CAKE W/ 1 TBSP PB2 & HALF OF A BANANA

Oh, S
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT 'EM
In an ideal world, no one would need dietary supplements. Our balanced diets
would provide all the vitamins, minerals & other nutrients our bodies need. However,
we are not perfect & taking supplements can provide additional & essential
nutrients that can help us achieve our health & fitness goals faster & efficiently.
I am a firm believer in never settling. If I have control of what I put into my

body, the home I live in EVERY SINGLE DAY, obviously I am going to choose
the brand leading the industry in high quality sports nutrition supplements.
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SUPPLEMENT BRAND

For years, I have been searching for a brand of supplements that I can trust &
recommend to my clients. I was hooked on the taste of 1st Phorm from the moment I
tried it. However, after doing my research & learning about how they create their
products & the ingredients they use, I am confident that they are the last company
I'll ever need. It is my absolute pleasure to represent 1st Phorm & educate you on the
products I trust & use every day.
If you purchased this guide then you probably trust me, right? Well then, trust me
when I tell you that 1st Phorm supplements are hands down the best on the market
today. My most successful clients & I all use the supplements on the following page.
If for some reason you dislike them in any way, you can always return them for 110%
money back guarantee. Also, with my link, you can receive free shipping. If you still
have questions or are confused about the supplements you should take after
reading the following pages, please let me know!

What I Take & Recommend:
MICRO-FACTOR NUTRIENT PACK
This vitamin pack delivers essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants,
superfoods, essential fatty acids & probiotics your body needs
daily!
I find extreme comfort in knowing that when my diet is lacking,
if I'm traveling, if my spinach goes bad, or if I just don't feel like
eating broccoli again, I can still count on consuming the
important nutrients my body needs with Micro-Factor.
My favorite part about Micro-Factor is that each of the capsules conveniently comes in
little daily packs that save you time, storage space & is perfect for taking on-the-go. With
every packet of Micro-Factor you get the nutrients of 6 different supplements! These
include:
COMPLETE MULTIVITAMIN
ANTIOXIDANT
FRUITS & VEGGIE SUPERFOOD BLEND
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
PROBIOTIC OPTI-GREENS 50
COQ10
Opti-Greens 50 is BY FAR my favorite supplement

out there. It seriously changed my life! I’m
surprised that I say that now because I never used
to believe in “green” products before. I thought
they were silly because I already ate tons of
veggies. Little did I know that this product serves
so much more than just green plants. Since I
began taking the Greens, my overall health &
digestion has improved drastically & I just feel
good! Here are some more benefits:
11+ SERVINGS OF FRUITS & VEGGIES

PREVENTS BLOATING
STRENGTHENS IMMUNE SYSTEM
CLEARS UP SKIN⠀
IMPROVES DIGESTION⠀
SPEEDS UP RECOVERY⠀
HELPS IN WEIGHT LOSS⠀⠀⠀
BOOSTS NATURAL ENERGY ⠀

Let's Talk About Protein!
PHORMULA-1 + IGNITION
(post workout stack)
Proper post workout is the MOST IMPORTANT window in your
training! I recommend 1st Phorm's post workout stack which
includes both Phormula-1 & Ignition. Phormula-1 is a rapid
assimilation protein, which means it gets into the muscles very
quickly & begins repairing them fast. At the same time,
Ignition will rapidly replenish glycogen which equates to
muscle energy. With these two products, you’ll give your body
everything it needs to become leaner & more toned in the
fastest way possible.
If you fail to fuel your body properly after you workout, you'll delay reaching
your goals. You don't want all the hard work you put in will to be wasted, do you? The best
part of this product is that it tastes SO good! My favorite flavors
are Chocolate Mint Cookie & CTC (Cinnamon Toast Crunch).
>>>CLICK HERE TO BUY<<<

LEVEL - 1
One of the biggest mistakes that my clients make is not eating
frequently enough or enough protein. For strict dieters, eating
more can be a huge struggle. Or, if you're like me, you might not
always have enough time to cook a meal or just don't feel like it.
Did you know that protein helps you lose fat?! This is because
protein promotes lean muscle. The more lean muscle you have, the
more calories your body burns. The more calories your body burns,
the more weight you drop. Protein also keeps you fuller longer. This
is crucial in weight loss because you won't let overeating sabotage
your success. Level-1 keeps your body in an anabolic state,
meaning you'll burn fat while keeping your lean muscle. Whether
your goal is to lose fat or to build lean & toned muscle, you will
benefit from Level-1! This is also the same protein I use to make my
shakes, ice cream, cakes, pancakes, waffles & MORE!
43
PROJECT-1
Probably the biggest benefit (& the whole point) of a pre-workout
supplement is it improves your ability to train harder & more efficiently.
Whether you are trying to lose weight or to build muscle mass, Project-1
helps you operate at peak efficiency by making sure that you are locked
in, that you feel good & that you have the energy, power & stamina to
dominate your workout. Having more energy during a workout is an
obvious benefit, & this boost is primarily due to one key ingredient:
caffeine. Project-1 acts as a stimulant, helping you feel energized &
ready to take on the world (& more importantly, your workout). Project-1
also keeps you mentally locked in & focused during exercise which is
imperative to optimizing your results.
FULL-MEGA
I take Full-Mega in addition to Micro-Factor to help boost my body’s natural
anti-inflammatory response & improve my overall health. Unless you are eating
wild caught fish multiple times a week, this should be a strong staple of your
supplement regimen. There are too many benefits from taking in ample amounts
of Omega-3 fatty acids, to not implement them in your diet.
If you want all the health & fitness benefits from Omega-3 fatty acids, such as heart health,
joint health, cognitive function, regulating blood pressure, & even aiding in weight loss...
Full-Mega needs to become a part of your daily routine!
HAIR SKIN & NAILS

Just like everything else with your body - your hair, skin & nails need the
right nutrients to be healthier & look & feel their best! Through natural
aging & poor diets that rob us of important nutrients & decreases our
body's ability to produce collagen, we also subject our bodies to toxins and
harmful UV rays from the sun. Our hair, skin & nails often take the brunt of
that, & leads to sun spots, wrinkles, fine lines, weak nails & unhealthy hair.
This supplement will provide you with the essential vitamins, minerals,
collagen & other nutrients you need to promote healthy cell regeneration,
increase natural production of collagen, protect your body from harmful
free radicals & give you more vibrant skin, thicker hair & stronger nails! It
can also assist in smoothing out the skin &eliminating the appearance of
cellulite!
