Stephenie LaGrossa Finds a Rewarding New Life after 'Survivor' with the Help of ProSource Sports Supplements
Manasquan, NJ (PRWeb) February 16, 2007 -- A unique two-time contestant on the immensely popular CBS reality show "Survivor Stephenie LaGrossa captured the imagination of TV viewers nationwide with her competitive fire and positive self image, on the way to a "Runner Up" finish in the Fall 2005 competition filmed in Guatemala. Such was her determination and vigor that few would have guessed the physical toll an extended "Survivor" stint took on Stephenie's mind and body.
"When I got back from the show both times, my body was completely depleted," she recalls. "I was tired all the time and had no energy. I was putting weight on, but I was very bloated, my hair was falling out and my skin and nails were just a mess. I took a while to get back to normal."
Fortunately, Stephenie's lifelong commitment to training and fitness, coupled with sports supplements from ProSource, made her return journey to peak health a swift and enjoyable experience.
"I love ProSource NytroWhey Chocolate Protein Shakes as well as the Supreme Protein bars!" she exclaims. "Supreme Protein bars are great. Reese's peanut butter cups used to be my favorite-tasting snack, but now it's the Supreme Protein bar, by far. They're healthy and give me tons of energy. They taste like a candy bar except they're good for you." While she appreciates the fact each Supreme Protein bar is packed with 30 grams of high quality protein, she admits, "the chocolate and caramel is a treat to the taste buds."
When on the run, the convenience of ProSource bars and shakes becomes even more vital to her diet. "I'm always on the go, so for me the Supreme Protein bars are a staple in my life," she says. "I bring them in the car and on the plane when I travel and also to the gym in case I can't get to a meal right away after I work out. I love Supreme Protein bars and I have them in my bag at all times! They are also very satisfying to the appetite, and hold me over for some time until my next meal. They're just perfect for a busy, healthy lifestyle."
"By now it has been over a year, and I am finally back to being myself," Stephenie says, "working out, eating healthy and just trying to enjoy life."
Now that Survivor is in LaGrossa's rear-view mirror, Stephenie is exploring the doors opened by her celebrity status. "I have had the opportunity to do many things in the entertainment industry, but I'm looking for something full time that I love," she says. "My dream job would be to host a talk show, like a Regis and Kelly or The View. Fitness and athletics are my passion, so something pertaining to that would be fantastic too."
No matter where she ends up, LaGrossa won't forget what Survivor did for her. "Just the traveling opportunities I've gotten (are amazing) -- before Survivor I had never been out of the country, and now I've been to Indonesia, Puerto Rico, Panama, and, obviously, Palau and Guatemala. Aside from traveling, I've been able to meet new people within the industry and outside of it, and I've seen the impact I had on young girls and fans all over the world. The fan mail and the reaction I get in public has been breathtaking."
