Fad Diets

Jenny CraigThere is a certain pattern used when advertising weight loss products, equipment or plans. The two big brands that stand out are Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. I could never understand why people would pay money to have a consultation with someone to help them lose weight. I do agree many people need that extra help to lose weight and I would not fault them for pursuing these programs.

My question is what if you try to help yourself first before you flush money down the toilet on these fad diet plans. I used to work for a 24 hour towing service Aurora Colorado and when I did I put on some extra pounds because my job was to just drive the tow trucks around all day.  I wasn’t very happy with my body at the time and decided I had to lose weight quickly. So I had to move away from that as I was personally inspired by someone who took complete control of their life and I followed suit, the results were amazing.

Fast Food Epidemic

Big MacAmerica is constantly dealing with childhood obesity and the fight continues. It can be hard for parents to have a certain diet setup for their children especially if they are picky eaters. The worst part is we have no control outside of the home, school is a big one but they are getting better. Sure we might get the breakfast and lunch menu sent home to us, but let’s face fact’s, our kids are eating tons of processed foods. I’m not saying our school systems should implement professional catering services with a 5 star menu but it could definitely be better.

Most children are not into any kind of physical activity this will most certainly
add to the obesity epidemic. Parents should be educated on how to incorporate more daily healthy eating choices and to encourage more physical activity.

Work Hard, Play Hard

Some people like to take the easy way out in life, we will never understand why? Is it because they want instant gratification, fast results, what is the rush with life and why can’t some of us be patient. The work and the time you put in wanting things to happen so fast you could have worked on whatever it is you want to change in your life.

The inspiration behind this article comes from a special friend and role model of mine, an awesome guy named Paul Maddalena who owns a digital marketing agency. He taught me what it is like to build something from the ground up similar to building muscles in the gym (which he taught me as well). Paul had a cousin who also owned a successful business and I eventually became good friends with his wife. I got to know her personally and I witnessed first hand her weight loss transformation. This article will touch on her hard work and dedication. It took her a year to get there, but she does prove you can accomplish anything you want.
