Posted on: 13 Jan 2015 - 15:41Tags:This informative, eye-catching and concise Infographic from Monster Supplement - http://monstersupplements.com - summarises an e-book they have released. The folks at Monster Supplements contacted me regarding their KickStart 2015 ebook. The book is a great reference for people who want to get fit but are not sure where to start; including a really useful FAQ section and another handy 'Top Tips' chapter and some delicious recipes. The infographic summarises the content, and has some great advice including workout ideas and nutrition advice. I think the most important thing to remember is that a healthy diet, is a lifestyle choice, not a temporary weight-loss endeavour. Image source: MonsterSupplements; High 5, Matt
