Overweight and Obesity in the U.S.

Hello everyone,

So today is my final day of Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer 12 week body transformation.  I'm very pleased with my results and I have never felt better.  I have been eating clean and hitting the gym 6 days a week and haven't missed a day!!

I'm more educated and driven to…

Here is a breakdown of a 1300…

I've been getting a lot of messages with questions about what my nutrition consists of. Well here is an average day for me. Keep in mind this changes every few weeks depending on if I'm leaning out or gaining muscle etc. but on average this is it. (between 1200-1500calories or so).
