versus organic?

but as a student and money being short my current
lifestyle means I sometimes have to overlook this
matter for price.

I believe life can’t be lived to its fullest unless you
willing to try evrthung from all avenues of diet.

and if there methods will work for the person want-
ing to reach a certain goal. You can do this by talking
to other clients and messaging the coach and ask if
there plan will work for them.
CSM: As a fitness and health enthusiast, what are the
essential exercises you have to do? Why is that?

burning fat. These are key to staying in my peak con-
dition.

these, if there’s any food and beverage that you can-
not resist what would that be and why?

ness because of the vast range of flavors to fit any
mood, making it hard to resist when it is on offer.
CSM: Any advice to individuals who wants to gain
weight and lean muscle? Advise to people who want
to lose weight and be sexy?
AUSTEN: To gain weight and lean muscle you have
to be dedicated, it does not happen over night and
you need to push your self to reach this goal. For
people who want to loose weight and be sexy I would
say tracking macros (protein carbohydrates and fats)
and making sure you are in a calorie deficit, meaning
that you calorie intake is less that what your body is
burning, this is the only way to loose weight so track
what you do and what you eat.
