Project 7 Gum (AKA Craving Killer) Review

Peppermint Vanilla, Birthday Cake Coconut Lime...Are you drooling yet? I know I was when I saw the flavors of these little packets of yumminess. I ripped these suckers open so quickly when I got my box. Cravings are tough to beat especially if you have made a change nutritionally, are competing, or just want to try something different. That is why I am so excited about this gum. Here is my review for Project 7 Gum (http://project7.com/).

The taste of this gum is out of this world. My favorite flavor would have to be the Coconut Lime and lemonade. I am sure you were expecting me to say that Birthday Cake was my favorite (trust me so was I) but the flavor of the Birthday Cake, while it was DELICIOUS, lasted only briefly.

I do love how creative these guys are with their gum flavors and I can only imagine that they will come out with more. The company itself is amazing. Their mission is to give back in 7 areas of need (hence the name Project 7). The gum is made here in the U.S. , however they partner with non profit organizations to help those in need both in America and abroad. Your purchase of Project 7 Gum is used to help make a difference throughout the world. For that alone, I would continue to purchase this product.

The small packaging makes it easy to carry and the ziplock keeps the gum from falling out into your bag or pocket- Win! Truly the only downside to this gum is that it is artificially sweetened but oddly enough didn't give me a massive migraine like most artificial sweeteners so there can't be much in it. Still, even with the artificially sweetener, this is a great product and something that can help you beat the cravings. As with everything- in moderation. A lot of great products out there have artificial sweeteners (including protein powders) as a way to cut down the sugar. You just have to pick the ones that are worth it and this gum is certainly worth a try.

Butterfly Abs

So I have to admit that I cannot believe I am actually writing this blog post. I have been so skeptical of any ab products on the market because as you know, abs are revealed through hard work in the gym and nutrition that is on point. End of story. Right? Not so fast. I have really struggled with abs since I began in the fitness industry. I hate even using the term abs because we all have abs so let’s talk about shredded, visible abs. I have never had them. Never even seen a two pack. I am not genetically gifted in the ab department and my bodyfat stays between 15-19% typically in the off season so while I maintain a flat stomach, my baby abs never poke through. To add to that, after having a baby, I suffered from the dreaded lower abdominal pooch. Ok, so let’s not blame it on having a baby. What it really is, is extra body fat that I just haven’t gotten off and I tend to store more there as well as in my legs (but that is another post for another day). I started a phot...

Product Review: Cellucor Alpha Amino, Best Hydrating Amino Acid Supplement Yet

I recently tested out Cellucor's new Alpha Amino product. It is a hydrating sports drink with 14 amino acids. I am a huge fan of their BCAA's but this product is now my absolute favorite supplement and here is why: 1. Taste Many amino supplements on the market frankly taste like crap. I had alpha amino in both watermelon and lemon lime and they were both delicious. I typically cannot stand anything that is lemon line especially in a supplement line because it never truly tastes like lemon lime but Cellucor nailed it. Not too sweet not and just enough flavor. 2. Zero Sugar Now I love love love me some coconut water but when trying to make lean gains, I can't afford the extra carbs and sugar. Alpha Amino has 0 calories and 0 sugar and contains (wait for it, wait for it) COCONUT WATER! Hello hydration. Whether you are at the gym, running or even yoga, this is a perfect hydration and recovery supplement. Which brings me to #3 3. Perfect for the gym or running I can't belie...

THE BRUTALLY HONEST TRUTH ABOUT COMPETING

I get asked to describe how competition training differs from a general fitness and nutrition plan. Some clients come to me after seeing their friends or family members take the stage and they decide for some reason or another that they too want to compete. Now, let me go ahead and tell you that I am a competition coach and competitor myself so I am by no means attempting to thwart anyone’s goal or dream of stepping on stage, however I think that a detailed, brutally honest check list has been needed for some time. So many clients start competition prep only to quit in the middle, falling short of their goal. It is my job as a coach to education on the reality of competing and the fact that it isn’t for everyone. Finding time to train is hard enough with our busy schedules but training for a competition requires even more time and effort than that. So if you are considering taking the plunge into the competition world, please take some ...
