Jose A. Garabito "Chef Cheo"
Chef Cheo has become the go-to guy for celebrities and professional sports figures that want to get into better shape, and focus on better diet and lifestyle choices. He will usually work in partnership with David Allen Nutrition to rebuild the client’s food plan, eating habits and lifestyle, to get them where they want to be health and fitness wise.
After applying his masterful culinary skills at the finest restaurants, nightclubs and hotels, Chef Cheo has become an expert at advising his celebrity clients on how to live a more health-conscious lifestyle, encompassing healthy eating choices, nutrition education and eliminating unnecessary stress.
A legion of boldface names have sampled Cheo’s gastronomic delights, including race car driver Mario Andretti; pro golfer Tiger Woods; tennis champion Pete Sampras; pro basketballer Alonzo Mourning; model/TV host Tyra Banks; actor Jason Priestley; and music stars Nelly and Johnny Gill
During a four-year stint as personal chef to pop superstar Janet Jackson, Chef Cheo was able to assist her in re-shaping and maintaining her healthy lifestyle goals – healthy eating and weight loss – with spectacular results. He literally helped Janet to sculpt her body to its well-documented ideal.
Chef Cheo’s relationship with his clients is deeper than just a personal chef: “You really become a part of their lives,” he adds, “you’re guiding them on what to eat, how to eat, what vitamins and supplements to take, how to approach fitness and exercise. It’s really the total package.”
His professionalism and dedication to his clients distinguish him from the rest in the field. “I’m driven to help my clients meet and exceed their health and lifestyle goals. With celebrities, everyone is asking of them. But with my system, they are asking me – about how to improve their bodies and reach their fitness goals. This allows me to take them to the next level.”
