This is a list of the supplements I am currently taking, what they do, & where you can get them.  I rotate certain things in and out from time to time depending on my goal, but certain ones I take forever. When I change to a different goal, I'll post a blog with that list. I have tried a lot of different brands of products, and these are the best products in their class in my opinion, based on personal experience and the results in my clients. Some of these products are on an account I set up for you, some are on other various websites. Click on the links for more info or to order them.

Foundation Products I always take:
1. AdvoCare MNS Max Energy

What it is: A full days supply of each of these (in a packet with the times of day to take each). Super easy!

I also take Advocare FiboTrim and CarbEase when I have my cheat meal. These block the carbs and fat from getting absorbed into your system. This is not a license to eat whatever you want! You need to eat healthy most of the time, and use these before the occasional cheat meal or when you have no control over what is being served. I especially use these when I'm at a gathering or when I travel.

I use a meal replacement shake or bar 1-2 times a day. These are especially important with my busy schedule since I don't always get to sit down and eat every 3 hours. I am able to mix a shake in my shaker cup using cold water or grab a protein bar from my bag. It is very important to eat every 3 hours to keep your metabolism high. If you don't, your body thinks you are starving it and you will lose muscle and gain fat! The rest of my meals usually consist of lean meats, complex starch, and veggies.

I chose these bars because they are low in fat and sugar and they taste good. My 9 year old daughter loves them and steals them from me.
