STOP COUNTING CALORIES!!

5-SPICE AND ALMOND CRUSTED SALMON
 
It's always a pleasure sharing a class, and this week I had the opportunity to work with the clients of ONE FITNESS CAMP, located in Park City, Utah. This camp not only showed me the passion that they have, but how to shed the extra pounds, and jump start the need for a healthier lifestyle. 
 
As you may already know, I believe in the 80/20 approach to health and wellness. 80% (Clean Natural Foods) and 20% (Safe Guided Fitness). Considering that the members of ONE FITNESS CAMP were training so hard, I decided to guide them through this energy boosting dish.
