In keeping with my promise of informing you about the things that have a dramatic impact on transforming my body and health, it’s time to update you on my experience with Shawn Phillips Full Strength Premium Nutrition Shake, which I have for breakfast every day (can’t go a day without it), and on occasion as part of a post-workout meal.

Several months ago I informed my valued Fat Loss Quickie blog readers that I had just received my first order of Full Strength, which was a 14 day trial containing 7 packages of vanilla powder, 7 packages of chocolate powder, the best darn protein shaker that I’ve ever used, and an awesome t-shirt.

After the first 7 days I was beyond impressed with Full Strength. I have never had a more delicious, nourishing, and satisfying meal replacement shake in my life. So I went ahead and ordered a 3 month supply to see how Full Strength would impact my physique and health over an extended period of time.

Best Breakfast EVER!

After consuming a Full Strength Premium Nutrition Shake for breakfast every day for several months and consistently experiencing unbelievable energy, increased performance in and out of the gym, greater fat loss and muscle gain, and increased strength, I am beyond confident in providing Full Strength with a huge two thumbs up for quality and satisfaction!

For decades there has been a battle over whether or not coffee is good or bad for your health, which can confuse the heck out of consumers like you and I.

But let’s face it, if you enjoy a good cup or two of coffee each day like Angie and I do, it’s going to be fairly tough to convince us to give it up.

No worries… there is some good news for us coffee lovers. The latest scientific research is leaning toward the “Coffee is healthy for you” side of the spectrum. You may be aware that coffee is actually a pretty good source of antioxidants, specifically Phenolic acids.

Rather than go into detail about this specific research within this blog post, I would like to direct you toward my partners at Prograde who have a much better handle on this stuff than I do.
