BCAA and Shaker BUNDLE AND SAVE

by Coach Debbie   
I don’t even want to tell you the top 3 foods I crave.  Because then you’ll start craving them AND be mad at me.  But let’s just say I like sugar and I like carbs.  My body, however, knows that I need not put those in my mouth on the regular if I want to look and feel my best.    Yeah, I give in on occasion, but I have a better strategy to combat cravings that typically hit me around 3:05pm and 8:45pm.   BCAA’s.  Huh?  Branched-Chain Amino Acids.  That’s right, I drop acid (just joking).   ...
