Am I The Crazy One?

My wife Gina and I went out to dinner last night and as we were walking out of the restaurant we ran into a couple that we have known for years. The husband looked at me and said, "You look great, what are you doing"? Of course I told him I was on a new program from a company called Isagenix. He had never heard of them before, but was interested in learning more. Now he is a bit older than I am, but he was in pretty good shape except for one small detail...he loves to eat. When I explained to him that I'm filling my body with nutrient dense food and that I have lost my cravings for just about everything bad for you, he looked at me with the deer in the headlights look. He asked me if I eat food. I told him yes, but with one major difference. The food that I actually do eat, is now the supplement to my Isagenix program.

When I talk to people about this alternative food system it is so foreign to them. We have been so conditioned to think about food in a certain way that most people can't fathom eating any other way. So I began to wonder if I'm the crazy one. I mean, am I crazy because I want to put no compromise products in my body that make me feel amazing? Just because I look at food in a different way from most people does that make me a lunatic? I just choose to put quality products in my body rather than empty calories.

Eating products from Isagenix is like a short cut. Your body gets all the nutrients, vitamins, trace minerals, amino acids and more without having to wade through all the calories that is associated with "regular" food. You might say that it is an efficient way of eating. I know that people have a love affair with eating food, but does anyone think of the effects it will have on them later in life. And are you really sacrificing anything? Since you have been so conditioned to thinking that your going to miss something if you don't have that decadent dessert or whatever your pleasure is, then you are going to have a tough time changing those thoughts. Have no fear! It is possible to change those thoughts, but it is going to require some work and products from Isagenix.

This way of eating food is not for everyone, but believe me it is worth a try. I don't spend my days thinking about food. Look at the time you would save on this activity alone. Food seems to be the center of our world, but what really should be the focus is helping our bodies achieve optimal health. If you change your focus to that, than worrying about that next great big meal will fade away.
