Check Out the following helpful information that Steph Jones has provided us:
Most people think that in order to live healthy that you have to go to the gym and workout workout workout and have your protein shake but actually its 80% nutrition and 20% fitness so if you get your nutrition in order then everything will fall in place. 20 years ago the obesity rate was 1 out of 8 Americans and now its over 30% of the country and that doesn't include out of shape and over weight people. Just to put nutrition in perspective, there are 100 times more gyms and 100 times more personal trainers but yet this country is at its worst regarding health. That all has to do with what we are putting in our bodies.
If you or someone you know is interested in changing their life for the healthy better, please email me at WhoWantsGumbo@gmail.com and lets get you started on my nutrition plan today. ITS GO TIME!!!
