Well, it comes around once a year and we just passed Jan. 1st. You know what that means don't you? It is resolution time. You also know that the two biggest resolutions are to lose weight and exercise more. I would think that losing weight is really the biggest challenge most people have since 1/3 of North America is overweight and or obese.
The number one word in the English language around this time of year is DIET. That dreaded word that we think about all too often because as a society we are obsessed with the notion that being on a diet is going to make us healthier. I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but just because you are on a diet doesn't mean your healthy.
Every time I hear the word diet I immediately think of short term. "I have to go on a diet because I have a wedding to go to", or "Summer is coming up and I want to fit into that bathing suit I bought". I know there are probably a million reasons to go on a diet, but that is not going to do anything for you long term. People should begin to start thinking about more long term than a quick fix for some special occasion.
The first of the year is always the time people make those great resolutions and they seem to be excited, only to fizzle out after a couple of weeks. Why is there such a drop off so quickly? It is the same reason they were on a diet in the first place. They are not eating the RIGHT FOODS! If the masses would understand one simple thing that I have learned over the last 2 years, it would be that nutrition is the key to opening a life of better health. Once you understand that you can then move on and begin enjoying your life.
Here is the major challenge most people have. They love to eat food. They are addicted to empty calories and love the comfort of eating that food. In order to change that you must try something new. I believe I have the solution with our new campaign called "7 Day 100% Super Food Challenge". Anyone can do anything for 7 days especially if you eat every couple of hours and the food you eat is nutrient dense with no chemicals. Once you experience nutrient dense food you will have a hard time going back to eating the way you did. Not one calorie is wasted and you are consuming very important proteins with the perfect distribution of carbs and fats. Add to that essential amino acids and trace minerals and powerful antioxidants then you have a home run.
What would happen if you filled you car up with bad gas? It wouldn't run as efficient as putting premium gas in it. It would be sluggish and would not be able to perform at its peak performance. Same concept with food. Junk in, means junk out. Since I have been on this protocol I have noticed a huge difference in how I feel which includes more energy and a loss of cravings. It is so amazing what nutrition can do for your body.
This year I don't have to waste a resolution on losing weight because I have changed my lifestyle to a healthier one. I can now focus my resolutions on something far more important like helping others get healthy!!!
