Believe...train hard...make it happen - naturally!" Carla's view on training naturally, "It gives me a huge sense of pride and satisfaction knowing that what I accomplish, I do so on my own terms with no chemical enhancements. I also abstain from using caffeine, green tea, or other fat burners/stimulants for personal and religious reasons. So when I say I'm natural, I am natural all the way! It's the healthy choice, physically and morally."
