New FAME Pro Melissa Tucker gets Canada “Fitlicious”
Fitness professional, personal trainer and radio talk show host are just three elements that describe newly turned FAME Pro Melissa Tucker.
Add on her new “Fitlicious” line of products and anyone can imagine the hectic lifestyle she leads. To Melissa, however, it’s her passion.
Her new “Fitlicious” line stemmed from her love of food. She knew that in order to balance her life she needed to somehow turn her passion for food and mesh it right with her love of fitness. Being a certified personal trainer, Melissa knew that 70% of the results from fitness came from clean nutrition. She played around with recipes trying to concont some way of coming up with lean recipes but still keeping the meals interesting and tasteful. She even went as far as going to culinary school and getting her certificate in order to successfully accomplish this goal!
Melissa created recipes using equations and other newly founded knowledge from her culinary school. The outcome? “Fitlicious”
“Fitlicious” is a line of products that reapproaches the way fitness is normally approached. The products make fitness and health fun, sexy and approachable. Her “Fitlicious” food prescription cookbook, the first product to kick off the “Fitlicious” line, shows illustrations focussing more on the motivation to stay fit rather than how good the food looks when you make it. Her theory: most people are very visual and it’s the celebration of a fit body combined with food that equals “Fitlicious”.
The cookbook also focuses on the macronutrient ratios and helps anyone of any size and goal measure out the right amounts to help them achieve their end result.
In addition to the cookbook, Melissa is focussing on creating an apparel line, “Fitlicious” bootcamps, workout DVD’s, and various photoshoots to help women and men of any age, size, and goal embrace what they have and help develop what they can become. Her goal with this specific project will be to develop a book of physiques to show that every body type is art and will break away from the ideal most are seeing in the media today.
Aside from her new products, Melissa will be the co-emcee, along with FAME president Jeffrey Kippel, for the FAME World Championships this upcoming June 13th-June 15th. She will also keep focussing on her competition career and will have her PRO debut in Miami this fall.
“Goals should be ever-evolving. Start with baby steps, then take longer steps until you stride” is Melissa’s philosophy, and it’s a philosophy that has taken Melissa from a newbie, to a personal trainer, to a culinary chef, to now an entrepreneur and a new FAME Pro. One that not only shines on the outside with her chiselled physique but also one who took it upon herself to not only show people she is Body-Proud but to also help others get to that sense of contentment as well.
