Become A Leader

When I took on this challenge of eating 100% superfood I really had no idea what to expect. The first thing I thought of was, "Can I really do this"? Can I go one whole week without eating traditional food? I found out that I could and now it has changed me so much that I don't know if I want to go back to eating "food" again.

The 7 day 100% superfood challenge was interesting to me because I felt that I could try anything for 7 days. Going into the first day I already knew that this was only for seven days so that made it a bit easier. The first day or two was a bit of a challenge, but not something that I couldn't get over. On a daily basis I would take my readings on the scale and each day was pleasantly surprised. Remember that this is not a diet although one of the benefits is the release of unwanted pounds.

Before I began my 7 days, I invested in a Tanita scale which was a great investment because this scale can measure much more than body weight. It can measure water weight, visceral fat, metabolic age, body fat and more. After my 7 days was up I had released 4 pounds and 1% body fat. I felt better and cleaned out and believe it or not this experiment has now changed my entire life. I cannot go back to eating nutritionally bankrupt and polluted food again.

I'm currently on my second week of 100% superfood and the numbers keep getting better. I am down over 7 pounds and 2% body fat and my metabolic age is 8 years younger than my chronological age. At one point I'm going to be reducing more body fat , but I will be gaining weight. The weight I will be gaining will be lean muscle. As we age this is one of the biggest problems in which you lose muscle tissue and lean muscle. On this program you actually gain it back.

If you are not able to do 100% superfood then I would recommend doing 70 or 80% because you will be light years ahead of anyone and their current eating habits. Speaking of eating habits, this is where we can become leaders and not followers. If you take on this challenge and your results are good then I would encourage you to tell everyone about this NEW way of looking at food. If you are serious about your health and you are committed to changing your health status then become a spokesman for this way of thinking.

That would require you to not feel bad when you are at a restaurant and everyone is eating pizza, hamburgers, wings and all sorts of empty calories and you refrain from eating that stuff. Why should you have to conform to their eating habits? Take a stand and be responsible for your health and don't be embarrassed about it. Wanting to be healthy should not be something you should be ashamed of. It may look funny and feel funny, but the only one that will be laughing several years from now is YOU! Become a LEADER in better health and share your passion with others. If you want to give a gift to someone for the holidays I can't think of a better one than giving them a chance to get their life back through better health.
