The greatest thing about living in the US of A is that we are free to make choices. I believe so many people take that for granted. If you have been following the news and what's happening all over the world you would realize that we are the luckiest people on the planet. The resources we have at our disposal are nothing short of amazing. So why do we make bad choices especially when it comes to food?
The first reason that comes to my mind is that people are not aware of the dangers of the food system that has developed over the last several decades. if you did some research you would find that the food in our country is nutritionally bankrupt. Back in the 50's you could eat one bowl of spinach and get your daily allowance of vitamins and minerals. Fast forward to today and that same bowl would take 50 bowls to provide that same vitamins and minerals. I like spinach, but I'm not going to eat 50 bowls of it. Multiply this one product with every product on the market and you can see where I'm going.
In order to feed 300 million people the food industry had to do something to ensure the food we eat was safe from bacteria and harmful microorganisms. I guess the joke is on us. In order to keep the food safe they have to spray harmful chemicals on the crops so nothing bad grows on the food. How ironic is that? Pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, steroids, hormones, antibiotics all play a role in keeping our food safe to eat, but is it safe? I hope you will agree that the answer is NO.
If you are like me I was looking for alternatives to this food dilemma. After I started doing research on the food industry I try harder to find a different way of nourishing my body. I believe in the law of attraction because the solution came to me with a phone call from a friend. He educated me on a new food system using food technology. These products have been a G-d send because they have truly changed my life. I went searching for it and it found me and now I would like to share it with you.
We all have choices in this country on many issues and it is totally up to you to make them. However, in order to make a choice you have to know that there are alternatives. Please do your research on the food your eating because once you do then you will realize that you need to make better choices. Isagenix is one alternative and the one that has worked for me. Before I stared taking these products I was frustrated that there wasn't a place I could go to get healthy food. After I started taking these products I have never felt better in my life. No cravings, better mental clarity, sleeping better, more energy. Why would anyone go back to the old way of eating? It is about the CHOICES we make that makes a difference. We all have choices, so contact me to learn more about a new way of looking at food.

Stay On The Outside
In my past posts I have talked about food quite a bit and the fact that we are not getting what we need from the food we eat. Walk into any grocery store and you will find the aisles filled with processed food. As you go up and down the aisles you are going to have a hard time finding something that is healthy to eat. Even if you come across the organic section you must be careful there as well. Our great FDA basically says that in order for a product to be called "Organic" it must be at least 80% organic. What?
The thing that gets me is the way these manufacturers use these FDA rules to trick us into believing that something is healthy for us. It is all a matter of semantics and I believe the American people should be told the truth. If you are buying a product that says 100% organic then it should be 100% organic. The other thing MOST Americans don't know is that the food labels are usually incorrect. Several independent studies showed after testing many food items that the label on the package did not match what was actually inside. In other words, the percentages of sugar, fat and carbs was actually higher than what was listed on the package. Scary, isn't it?
The solution to this when entering a grocery store is to stay on the outside of the aisles. If you think about it the majority of grocery stores are designed the same. On the perimeter of the aisles is the following departments: Produce, Deli, Dairy, Meat & Seafood, and Bakery. On your walk around the store don't be tempted to enter one of the "food" aisles because that is where you are going to get into trouble. Stay with the produce and dairy department. If you just stay in these depts then you can add years to your life.
But Jay, how am I going to live? What am I going to eat? Well if you have been following this blog you know that you can live healthy by switching your grocery purchases to Isagenix. This company has designed a food system that provides all the nutrients, vitamins, trace minerals, and amino acids that you body needs without the calories. The most efficient way to eat food and I believe this way of eating will be the future of our food industry. Imagine not eating processed foods any more and foods that are polluted. Do you think that will have a positive effect or a negative effect on you?
Tens of thousands of people have transformed their lives by using these amazing products. The people that take these products have decided to make a change in the way they eat and had the courage to change. Do you have the courage to begin feeding your body what it really needs? If you are ready then please contact me and let me design a program for you.

Leverage Your Time
How many hours a week would you say you work? If you have a job I guess the average would still be about 40 hours a week. Now I know some people work more hours than that and some work less. If you count sleeping time, eating, errands, house work, yard work, children, 2nd jobs etc., then you might have maybe one or two hours a day to do what you actually want to do.
So what do you do with those one to two hours? Watch T.V.? Read? Sit on the computer and chat on a social media site? Or do you do something productive that is going to get you to where you would rather be every day of your life? The first step is to know what you want your life to look like. Without it you are flying blind and are not focused. You must see the end result and know that no matter what happens you will not stop.
One way to accomplish this is through Network Marketing. Imagine you shared these products with two of your friends and they share it with two of theirs. So if you followed this out it would look like this: 2x2=4x2=8x2=16x2=32x2=64x2=128x2=256x2=512x2=1,024x2=2,048x2=4,096x2=8,192. Now you started with two people and now you have over 8,000 and this model continues on and on. So many people think that they need to bring thousands of people into the business personally and nothing is farther from the truth. Just start with two and help them get their two and you will end up with thousands. It is the law of compounding which is very powerful.
Each of us has a gold mine in our office and it is called a Rolodex. If you had a 100 names on that list and each person you talk to has 100 names on their list then can you imagine the amount of people you would have access to? Take a look at the number above and start to multiply 100 times 8,192. Out of all those people guess how many you need to start in Isagenix? Two. Do you think you know two people that want better health?
Unless you are going to write a best selling book, hit the lottery or invent something big, this is the best way to leverage your time. I guess the point of this story is that leveraging your time is one way to make money and have time freedom.You can only work so many hours in a week. The best part is not the time or the money...it is helping other people get their lives back both physically and financially. You can't put a monetary value on that!

The Cost Of Health Care
With all the talk about Obamacare and the effects it will have on our society I have to stop and wonder why more people aren't doing something about it. After all, we are in control of our own health and yet the majority of Americans don't take it seriously. You have to ask yourself a question, "Is health care going to cost more or less in the future?" If history repeats itself and we move toward a European system then I'm going to have to answer that question by saying health care is going to go up. Then again, even if we don't move in that direction health care is going to increase in cost.
So why don't people invest more in themselves and take care of their insides? If your car engine is in disrepair wouldn't you take it to a mechanic and have them fix it? There are things you can do to avoid that situation and that is by taking care of the engine before problems happen. Changing the oil every 3-5 thousand miles, rotate the tires, flush the system on a regular basis. These are preventative measures that do cost money, but the cost is far less than waiting for the car to break down.
Our bodies are no different in that if we take care of them up front then we can save on costly repairs in the end. For some reason Americans don't think that way. It almost seems like they are under the impression that when the body goes there is nothing they can do about it. So they enjoy life and eat what they want, smoke and don't exercise until it is too late to do anything about it. That is the current health care system as we know it. Neglect the body then go to a doctor to have him prescribe medications to fix the problem.
As a society we keep masking the problem of health care. As individuals we have to take the responsibility to correct this situation by taking care of ourselves before the problem becomes very costly. Is there a cost to preventative measures? Of course there is, but it is a lot less then waiting for the problem to get larger and in the end cost a small fortune.
The solution to many of our problems is quite simple. Start eating nutrient dense super food that has all the essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs and none of the pollutants that are in our current food system. By reducing the caloric intake without sacrificing nutrients the body will respond with delight. Another simple solution and one that is done by a very small percentage of people is to cleanse the body of impurities. Remember the car oil that you have to change frequently? Well the body needs to be cleaned as well. I'm speaking of a whole body cellular cleanse where impurities are removed from the body so it can function to its maximum efficiency.
Our bodies are amazing and if we treat it well it will treat us well. By taking simple steps we can now control our own health and the cost of our health care. In a tight economy we do many things to reduce our costs and this should be no different. By shifting your food money to healthy alternatives like Isagenix you will save tons of money now and in the years ahead.

Diet vs Polluted Food
Ever since I got involved with Isagenix my awareness of food in general has increased. When you are passionate about something then your antennae goes up and you become a sponge to learn as much as you can about the subject. So I get all of these health related newsletters about the food industry and diets and general info on new technologies that are coming in the very near future.
When I speak to someone about the effects that Isagenix has had on me they relate it to the diet that they are on or the many they have tried in the past. I keep telling everyone that Isagenix is not a diet because it isn't. Many people are on diets like:Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Atkins, South Beach and the list goes on. What people don't realize is that they still are eating food that is polluted just less of it. They are still not getting the nutrition that they need to help sustain a balanced system.
Although diets do restrict certain foods and the amount of food that you eat, they are still filled with pollutants like pesticides, herbicides, steroids, antibiotics and hormones just to name a few. You might want to do your own research about the food we eat in this country and then you might have a different take on your "diet." When people tell me that they are on one of the diets mentioned above I have to chuckle because they think that they are getting what they need from the food they eat. Just because you restrict calories, carbs and fat doesn't mean you are providing your body with essential building blocks. The opposite is actual true. You are not receiving any of the essential vitamins and nutrients your body needs to optimize your health.
Diets don't work for many reasons and Isagenix has developed a food system that addresses all of the concerns that your normal diet doesn't. It is the most efficient way of getting the essential nutrients into your body without waisting empty calories. Oh yeah, did I mention that the Isagenix products have NO POLLUTANTS! Remember, just because you are on a diet doesn't mean that you are getting what your body needs. If you have tried every diet under the sun and you are looking for something that will actually work long term then look no further. Try Isagenix for 30 days risk free and feel the difference!!

On Vacation I Don't Skip A Beat
How many times have you heard someone who is dieting say, Oh, I was on vacation and and I'll get right back on my diet when I get back." I hear that from a lot of people and I often wonder, "Why go off in the first place?"
I'm no psychologist, but if I had to guess, everyone wants a reason to celebrate and let their hair down once in awhile. A vacation is justification to let go and have a good time. Actually any occasion would work just fine to justify letting go. I found myself in that situation this past weekend at a big father's day/anniversary for my wife's dad and step mom. There was all this food on this long table, but when I look at food now I look at it differently. As I began to go up and down the table I realized that there was not much I actually wanted to eat. As a matter of fact I had very little to eat as I wasn't really hungry (because I had my Isalean shake) and nothing appealed to me. After the party I can't begin to tell you how good I felt that I didn't indulge in chips and salsa, pizza bread and all the empty calories associated with these "foods."
It is getting easier and easier to not have those cravings for food because whenever I go on vacation or away on business, I always bring my food with me. The longer I'm on Isagenix products the better I feel and the products are actually helping me curb those cravings. I think you call that a win win situation. The other win win is the fact that I get to help educate people about these products and I am rewarded for that. Now that is a business I can understand. Helping people who help others, who help others and who help others and get paid for it. Can you think of a better way to make money?
The Isagenix vision is to create world health and free people from physical and financial pain and in the process become the largest health and wellness company in the world. I don't know about you, but that is an amazing vision and one that I share. If you feel the same way then please contact me so we can begin to build our own legacy and help tens of thousands of people get their life back with better health.

Grocery Store Of The Future
You ever wonder what the future grocery store looks like? Before you do that you have to imagine what the farming industry is going to look like. All indications from the people in the know tell us that food prices are going to go up dramatically by next year. Wait a minute, how about this year? Have you checked out the price of food at the store lately? There are many factors that have effected the food prices which include inflation and the natural disasters that have been occurring throughout the country. When you mix these two things together you get a mess and we are heading for a BIG mess.
Right now Americans are dealing with the increase in food prices, but there will be a point when that changes. When hyper-inflation hits this country many families are going to have to find different ways of feeding their families. They will be looking for a way to stretch their food budgets so they can actually put food on their tables. I know what you are thinking, "That will never happen here in America." Unfortunately, some things are out of our control. Food prices is one of them.
So if food prices skyrocket then what are people to do? How will they eat? How will they get nutrition? Eating food and getting nutrition are two separate things. The food that we do eat today is depleted of nutrition. So why would I go to the store to buy high priced food that has NO NUTRITION? Great question.
The grocery store of the future is here today. I order my food on line and it is delivered to me every month. The best part is that I know what is in my food and it has NUTRITION. I also know what it doesn't have...pollutants. That is correct, the food that I eat from Isagenix is chemical free and nutrient dense. The most efficient way of eating on the planet and I believe it is the future of food in this country.
You are probably wondering how that could be. How could you live on nutrient dense food and survive on a daily basis. Well, the only thing I can tell you is to TRY IT. Try it for 30 days and tell me if you don't feel better, have more energy and sleep better. Please keep in mind that I still eat actual food, but that food is now the supplement to my Isagenix program. I am living proof that you can survive without stuffing your face with polluted food that is really expensive.
The grocery store of the future is actually here right now. Stop getting frustrated every time you walk into a grocery store and look at the prices you are paying for polluted food. As time goes on the cost of food will be really shocking and at that time know there is an alternative. My question to you is, "WHY WAIT?"
Let me help design a plan that is right for you and get started today. There is no time like the present and for once be ahead of the curve. Start taking responsibility for your health before another day goes by.

What Is Your Exit Strategy?
We hear this term when we talk about business and the exit strategy of the business. A lot of exit strategies usually have to do with selling the business after you have built it up. Other exit strategies are allowing someone else to run your business while you still own it. Business exit strategies are a bit different than personal exit strategies. What is your exit strategy?
The majority of Americans work their whole lives so they can retire with a comfortable amount of money and enjoy the same lifestyle they did when they were working. However, have you noticed anything different about the economy? Millions of people are out of work, wages are reduced, entire industries are being transformed and the future outlook isn't what it used to be. Now that I have completely depressed you let me ask you again, what is YOUR exit strategy?
Don't have one because all your doing is working to pay your bills and to try to stay afloat? You would like to own your own business, but you can't because you don't have the money or the skill to run a business. You don't have any rich relatives to leave you an inheritance so what the heck are you going to do?
There is an answer, but you are going to have to have the desire to change and then work at it. The answer is "The Business of The 21st Century." In Robert Kiyosaki's book of the same title, he talks about the future of business in this country and it is called "Network Marketing." In the book he talks about the beauty of the business model and more importantly the personal growth that comes with getting involved in the industry. I can speak with confidence that by getting involved in this industry I have transformed my life and the outlook of my future. I have no obstacles. I can see clearly where I'm going and the future looks very bright, even in this economic turmoil we find ourselves in.
If you have never been in the network marketing industry then I suggest you begin researching it. If you do, you will be way ahead of the curve because conventional business is going to find a very tough road ahead. Government regulations is making it difficult for small and large businesses to survive. Once you decide to investigate the industry please don't get into a company that promises the moon and tells you that you will be able to retire in 6 months.
The very first thing you must do is find something that you are passionate about. So many companies lure people in because of the money without regard to the product or the management team. Do not take this lightly!! All of these factors are critical in making a decision about the company you would like to represent. If you get into a company for the money only then you are short changing yourself and setting yourself up for failure.
My exit strategy looks like this: commit to Isagenix for 5 years, help as many people achieve their goals as I possibly can, work part time from wherever I am, and enjoy a residual income that only a few can dream of. If what you are doing right now is not going to provide the exit strategy you would desire then I would highly suggest you start to think about this very seriously. There is an alternative, but you must be willing to change what isn't working. If you would like to hear more about Isagenix and what it is doing for me and hundreds of thousands of others then please contact me and I would be happy to share.

Don't have one because all your doing is working to pay your bills and to try to stay afloat? You would like to own your own business, but you can't because you don't have the money or the skill to run a business. You don't have any rich relatives to leave you an inheritance so what the heck are you going to do?
There is an answer, but you are going to have to have the desire to change and then work at it. The answer is "The Business of The 21st Century." In Robert Kiyosaki's book of the same title, he talks about the future of business in this country and it is called "Network Marketing." In the book he talks about the beauty of the business model and more importantly the personal growth that comes with getting involved in the industry. I can speak with confidence that by getting involved in this industry I have transformed my life and the outlook of my future. I have no obstacles. I can see clearly where I'm going and the future looks very bright, even in this economic turmoil we find ourselves in.
If you have never been in the network marketing industry then I suggest you begin researching it. If you do, you will be way ahead of the curve because conventional business is going to find a very tough road ahead. Government regulations is making it difficult for small and large businesses to survive. Once you decide to investigate the industry please don't get into a company that promises the moon and tells you that you will be able to retire in 6 months.
The very first thing you must do is find something that you are passionate about. So many companies lure people in because of the money without regard to the product or the management team. Do not take this lightly!! All of these factors are critical in making a decision about the company you would like to represent. If you get into a company for the money only then you are short changing yourself and setting yourself up for failure.
My exit strategy looks like this: commit to Isagenix for 5 years, help as many people achieve their goals as I possibly can, work part time from wherever I am, and enjoy a residual income that only a few can dream of. If what you are doing right now is not going to provide the exit strategy you would desire then I would highly suggest you start to think about this very seriously. There is an alternative, but you must be willing to change what isn't working. If you would like to hear more about Isagenix and what it is doing for me and hundreds of thousands of others then please contact me and I would be happy to share.

Salespeople Are Customers Too
For the last 25 years I have been in the sales profession selling mostly intangible items like iinsurance. In 2002 I partnered with another gentleman to start a small business in which I was in charge of sales and getting the new business off the ground. This is a service business and it all comes down to customer service. Selling customer service is easy except when your customer service is not very good.
During my selling career I have come across really nice people and people that were quite rude. The people that were not very nice have missed the point of owning a business and trying to make a profit. They might treat their customers o.k., but when it comes to salespeople they show another side of themselves. They hang up on you, tell you to never call again, put you off until you just give up, etc. What they are failing to understand is that SALESPEOPLE ARE CUSTOMERS TOO!
When I am trying to make a sale and I come across a very rude business owner, if I have the opportunity to get my point across I always tell them that you are speaking to a potential customer. "Would you talk to a potential customer like you just spoke to me?" The business owner should be aware of their actions for everyone they speak to because one bad experience could end up costing them a lot of money in bad publicity. Would you do business with someone that treats you like crap? Would you then go out and tell someone that the owner was so rude and you would never do business with them again, ever?
If you are a business owner please keep in mind that whenever you are talking to a salesperson you are also talking to a potential customer. I don't know about you, but I like to do business with people that are nice to me and actually want to do business with me. Over the years I can't begin to tell you how many rude people I have come across that I have told everyone about. That is the type of publicity you don't want to have. It is just as easy to be nice to someone as it is to be rude. When I approach any business owner I expect to be treated with respect just like a customer would. Nothing moves in this country without a sale being made. Remember, salespeople are customers too!

A Different Way To Think About Food
From the time we are children to our adult life we are never really taught about health. Growing up we would eat just about anything without even thinking about the consequences down the road. Now if you were like me I was very active in gym class and sports in general, but being so young I never thought I would have to care about my health or what I ate.
As time passed and I got older I began to see my father, uncle and other family members have issues with their heart, lungs, cholestoral, high blood pressure, etc. After my dad had a heart attack I saw that he was disciplined enough to change his eating habits. He quit smoking and began his journey to find better health by reading tons of books on the subject. WHY DO WE WAIT TILL IT IS TOO LATE?
I often wonder why our young children aren't taught nutrition and healthy eating in school. I believe it should be mandatory to learn all about the benefits of eating healthy and living a good lifestyle. Even if it was taught in school, it would be up to the parents to create the environment for healthy eating. Unfortunately, the economic times we live in dictates what parents feed their kids. The days of a family sitting down to dinner together are all but gone for good. We live in such a fast paced world that fast food has become the norm and wouldn't you know it, that is the worst food you can possibly consume. So why do we do it? Because it is cheap and easy.
I have been searching for a long time to find good food that I can put in my body that wouldn't harm me. I finally found it with the Isagenix products. When I put these products in my body I know that I'm getting everything my system needs to optimize my health without ingesting pollutants. This should be taught in school!!!
I believe Isagenix is in a perfect position for growth as more and more people begin to realize that the food they are eating is slowly KILLING them . Nutrient dense super food is the way of the future. They have created an entire food system with each product specifically designed to maximize your health. It is the most efficient way of eating that you could possibly imagine. It is just a different way of thinking about food.
Sometime in the very near future I believe our country is going to be hit with massive inflation. That means that food will continue to skyrocket which means the average American will have a difficult time deciding what to do about food. Isagenix has the answer. Start to think a different way about food and you will be way ahead of the curve. Contact me and I'll should you how easy it is to get started.

Opportunity Is Knocking
Throughout our lives there are many opportunities that come before us, but it is not the opportunity that is the key...it is what we do with that opportunity. If you had the opportunity to invest in Microsoft in the early stages of the company you would be beyond wealthy today. As a matter of fact, your family would be set for generations. I would say that would have been a good opportunity had you actually acted on it. Opportunities come in many different forms and is not only related to money. However, for this post I will relate opportunities with money.
The first thing to be established is, "What is an opportunity?" It is a favorable juncture of circumstances. When everything lines up and a situation arrives that can provide a benefit or advancement to you then you are looking at an opportunity right in the face. Some examples would be knowing about a stock before it goes public. You would have an opportunity to benefit from knowing that information, but then you must take action. How about someone offering you an incredible job, but you would have to move your family to another country? That is also an opportunity, but the circumstances that you are in also plays a key role in the acceptance of that opportunity.
Throughout our lives we are faced with many opportunities to make more money, but a lot of times don't seize the opportunity because of our current circumstances. Maybe the opportunity requires an initial investment or a relocation, but you must understand, that is what makes an opportunity. It is that juncture of circumstances that makes you decide weather to pursue the opportunity or pass it by. I believe that many people pass on great opportunities because of their current situation. I guess you could call it fear or possibly lack of information.
With any opportunity to make money you have to decide on several things before acting on your intuition. The first thing to determine is if there is a cost involved. Can I afford this investment? Will I be willing to sacrifice certain things to take this on. The most common would be time. Are you willing to put time into this opportunity? How about your comfort zone? Do you have the desire to stretch and expand that zone so you can achieve more? All the stars have to line up for you to take on a good opportunity, but just remember that opportunities come and go, but it is what you do with them that counts.
For me, Isagenix was a great opportunity to get involved because it had low start up costs ($19.00), it offered me a chance to become healthy by putting quality products in my body and it is providing me a chance to become financially free. This opportunity is low risk and high return on investment. If you are looking for an opportunity like this then please contact me to see if it is the right one for you.

Nothing Like Vacation
My wife and I just got back from a 6 day trip to our favorite place...Coronado Beach. We went out for a friends medical school graduation and it was a blast. The weather on the island was incredible considering the time of year it is. They call June ,"June Gloom" in Coronado, but there was no gloom. It was sunny and a cool breeze blowing constantly. When that wind slaps you in the face I can't think of a better feeling than that.
Our summer journey continues next week in New Jersey as we are going to celebrate fathers day with Gina's dad who is 96. We are also celebrating her folks 50th wedding anniversary. Got a big family thing going on and then we come back and head back to Coronado for July 4th weekend. But wait, there's more! In August I'm heading back to San Diego to Celebration.
In my opinion this will be an amazing event that I don't believe anyone should miss. Isagenix will be launching the one and only Product B for the world to know about. We will find out the name of the product, see the marketing materials, new videos and at the same time create the biggest buzz the world has ever seen. Not bad for a weekend!!
The Wellness Revolution is here and upon us. We are going to begin seeing amazing new products coming out to help us live healthier and longer and the shift to Wellness will be in full swing. Can you imagine living till you are 250 years old, but healthy? If you are going to do that then you will definitely need some residual income and I know where you can get that. If you want to go on more vacations and live a better healthier life then call me, e-mail me and I will share how you can do that.

Product B Update
I have been on Product B for one week and the only thing I can tell you is that my skin feels different. It feels smoother and softer. I am very anxious to keep going and see where this leads me. This weekend I thought my hair was turning back to my natural color, but I believe it is too soon for that. I do however believe that my hair will turn back from this grey color and if it doesn't happen before the launch of this amazing product then it will be shortly after that.
The company has been working on improving the product and they actually have done that. I understand that the product at launch will be up to 10 times more potent than this batch. It is my firm belief that John Anderson will not stop there. He will constantly try to improve on this formula.
When the company says this is not a stand alone product it is really true. If you smoke then you are defeating the purpose of the product because smoking is one of the things that helps shrink your telomeres. You want to do everything you can to not shrink your telomeres. So a healthy lifestyle is critical to the success of this product. So now the question becomes, "Are you willing to get healthy so you can take Product B?"
I believe people have the intention to get healthy, but there is something inside them that tells them to take the easy way out. It is really easy to let go and eat what you want, but then it is going to be hard later when you come down with some illness. Years from now you ask yourself, "Why didn't I take better care of myself?" I know it is hard now because you want to enjoy yourself and eat what you want, smoke, not exercise, but you have to know that you are going to pay the piper down the road. Now I'm not suggesting that because you eat properly and don't smoke that nothing will happen to you, but I'm guessing that by taking care of yourself now you will have a better chance of not needing a lot of medical attention in the future. Besides, is there something wrong with eating the right foods and taking responsibility for your health?
Why is it so difficult for people to have the courage to change their habits? We are so conditioned to eating a certain way that the brain can't comprehend anything else. That is why a bad habit must be broken before a good habit becomes the norm. You must start somewhere. The best place to start is by taking Isalean shakes for 30 days and you MUST be consistant. One shake a day could give you the desire to change your habits and jump start your transformation. Do yourself a favor and just START!!! In 5,10,or 15 years you will be glad you did.
