Up Close & Personal with Caithleen - “The Bikini Model Cook” 52. FitnessX.com • Summer/Fall 2013 With the title“The Bikini Model Cookbook”, who can benefit from your cookbook, whom is it meant for? Life Before Fitness I love flying for a living. The challenge for me was that, the life of a pilot can be very sedentary. Usually aviation offers very few healthy snacks on the road unles you pack them yourself. On a busy schedule away from home that can be tricky. I now use a 6 Pack FitnessTM bag and take it with me everywhere. While I thought I was in decent shape, a few snaps of the camera had me see the reality of my conditioning. I decided to get myself back on track and entered my first fitness competition. I developed recipes that I could eat while training for my shows that were not only healthy but also tasted great and I compiled them into a cookbook. The cookbook was intended for all women looking to get into great shape, but anyone can use it, even men. I can just imagine the looks they will get if they get caught with a copy! Because I am a fitness competitor, I understand the challenges involved in eating a bikini models or fitness models diet. The great thing about the book is there is probably close to 50 easily portable meals. It takes the guesswork out for people prepping for a show. The recipes are mostly made with high volume, nutrient dense foods that keep you feeling full longer. The goal for me was to make the meals look and feel like a“treat”but made from ingredients I could eat all year around and still stay shoot ready. I wish a cookbook like this existed when I first started out! You ARE what you eat!!! Healthy food CAN taste great!
