Abraham McDonald's Full Body Cleanse with DHerbs [VIDEO]

Island Def Jam R&B recording artist Abraham McDonald has chosen to share the joys and pains of his Full Body Cleanse journey via his blog “The Skin I Live In; 100 Pounds and Down.” As a result of his commitment to the Full Body Cleanse with DHerbs, he has lost 30 pounds in 20 days. On Day 12, Abraham was open and honest about pulling up to a McDonald’s drive through and having to find the inner strength to pull out of line. With the help of God and his DHerbs Life Coach, McDonald has been able to meet each challenge head on and remain steadfast.

“Make no mistake - I’m happy with my choice to eat clean and feel that it’s the best thing for me. I’ve begun to see the changes in just a short while and I feel them too. How else would I be able to run from rehearsals to stage, filming and teaching to boxing and workout sessions if I didn’t have a new-found energy. The hard times come with it is all.”

Check out my Yoga Flava TV interview with Abraham McDonald during his visit to the Yoga Flava Spring Retreat 2012 and recent phone interview with DHerbs Life Coach Ahman:

For the past 9 years, DHerbs has made superior-quality products using only the purest ingredients found in nature. They now have separated themselves from the pack and established themselves as the largest African American owned Herbal Company in the country. DHerbs philosophy has always been that only through proper digestion and a sensible diet can people obtain the nutrients necessary to improve our overall well being, and it is that philosophy that continues to enable customers to achieve and maintain the vibrant health they deserve.

Oprah's Karaoke Winner Joined Yoga Flava's "Restore By The Shore" [VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS]

During Yoga Flava's 2012 Spring It On Retreat, "Restore By The Shore" I was delighted to be able to do a video interview with inspirational singer, Abraham McDonald about his career, health and spirituality.

Being an Oprah fan, I remember watching Abraham win her Karaoke contest. This charming, silky smooth singing, gentle giant has since then gone on to recently perform for First Lady Michelle Obama at a Women for Obama luncheon in Los Angeles.

“I was so honored to have been asked to sing at this event who knows, maybe I’ll get invited to the White House one day, especially because I believe that the letter “O” is a very lucky letter for me!” commented Abraham.

Hand-picked as the winner by the “Oprah” show karaoke challenge judges including producer David Foster, songwriter Diane Warren, and Antonio “L.A.” Reid, Chairman of Island Def Jam Music Group, who personally signed Abraham to the label, Abraham has also performed in front of the sold-out, 6,000-seat crowd at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A., sung the National Anthem at all major Los Angeles sporting events, and headlined “The Insider & Style A-List.” Abraham also has appeared on the “Oprah” show three times to debut his album and follow his start. Abraham also made a dent into the Billboard R&B charts last year with his chart-topper “Miracle,” as well as his recent follow-up effort in December, 2011, the already-classic R&B love song, “Love You.”

I was so excited when Lynn Allen Jeter and Associates informed me that he accepted my offer to come and "Restore By The Shore" and visit Creative Chakra Spa and Yoga Studio.

Abraham acknowledges that he was "living without borders" when it came to his health. His wake up call came when he was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. As a result, he got a trainer and lost 60 pounds. His motto is "Push your Dreams as if they are as Light as a Feather".

Check out the following Yoga Flava Video Snack which includes highlights from my interview with Abraham McDonald and the recent retreat in Marina Del Rey, California. More of the interview with Mr. McDonald and our Yoga Flava session coming soon on a new episode of Yoga Flava TV for the Live Well Network.
