Embrace The Change

They say it takes 30 days of consistent behavior in order to create a habit. Well I'm going on over 50 days with not eating traditional food as you know it. The more research I do on the subject of our food supply, the more frightened I get. I truly don't believe that Americans understand the severity of the food situation in this country. So I decided to do something about it and take responsibility for my health.

How did I do it? Well, the first thing I had to do is actually make a decision to change. That may sound trivial, but it is actually the biggest step in the process. The reason it is so big is because that sets everything in motion. Once you make the decision to change your lifestyle then you begin the next step which is to take action. In my case, once I made the decision I then searched around for a system that would help me facilitate my transformation.

A little over two years ago I was introduced to a company called Isagenix. They are the World leader in Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing. All of the products are chemical free and are of the highest quality. The formulator, John Anderson, has created the most complete system for better health on the planet. This company has no competition because the product line covers the five pillars of health. From nutrition to anti-aging and now telomere support no other company comes close.

So after two years on the product and released 10 pounds and felt much better, but I was still eating some traditional foods that had lots of chemicals in them. Even though I reduced the amount I was eating I still ate many bad foods. I needed to make a bigger change because I began doing that research I spoke about on our food supply. In Nov of 2011 I began the "7 Day 100% Super Food Challenge". The challenge might seem radical to many, but not when you consider the food I'm consuming has no chemicals and it provides my body all the essential building blocks it needs to function efficiently.

The challenge for mean has created better health in every area of my body which has had many positive effects on my life. I have released an additional 12 pounds and also reduced my body fat by 4.6%. I have more confidence and I know that I'm doing the right thing for my health and for the benefit of my family. I am also reducing my health care costs, grocery bills, amount of trash, time to go shopping for food and the list goes on.

Please understand that you don't have to take it to this extreme of not eating regular food 100% of the time, but you would do yourself a favor if you started somewhere. I know the thought of changing is very difficult, but you should embrace the change because of the positive effects it will have on your health, your finances and your relationships. I know that many people would be scared to make the commitment to just eat nutrient dense super food all the time, but then the question is, "On a scale of 1-10, how important is your health to you?" If it is very important then you need to back that up with action. DON'T BE SCARED!
