Fitness Star Taylor Vertucci Shares Her Inspriring Story

Taylor Vertucci is a 22 year old bodybuilder from Texas, but she didn’t become a fitness star overnight. As a matter of fact, when Taylor first started working out seriously she developed a serious eating disorder. In her mind, skinny was healthy, but she took it a bit too far.

Taylor had stopped eating all together and became dangerously underweight.

“I entered my first bikini competition ‘thinking’ that I looked good and would do well. But I didn’t realize how skinny I had become”

After this much needed wake-up call, Taylor began eating and developed a meal/workout plan that worked for her body type, and the results speak for itself! Here’s how she stays fit:
