Starting With Starbucks?

I had an early appointment at a Starbucks in Scottsdale to talk about the "7 Day Challenge" the other day. So I go into a fairly small Starbucks and just stood by the door to wait. What I observed over the next 15-20 minutes was amazing.

So many people were rushing in to get their favorite Latte or whatever else they drink in the AM. Please understand that I'm not coming down on people who have Starbucks in the morning, I'm just saying that there could be a better way to start the day than with one of those fancy drinks.

This particular morning was a Friday and it was obvious that most people observed casual Friday. I would also say that most of the patrons on this day were women. The next thing I noticed was the size of the drinks they were purchasing. I would say most of them had the biggest size they could get. I think they call that a Venti. What happened to , "I'll have a small, medium or large".

It seems like Starbucks is like a religion. So many people swear by it and must have it everyday. There was a time when I drank coffee and I'll be honest, I thought their coffee was a bit bitter for my taste. As I was standing there I was trying to figure out the calorie count for most of these drinks. The reason I was guessing was because I didn't see it posted anywhere. A Caffe Mocha is over 230 calories and many other drinks are over 160 and above. The sugars are like 21% and I would have to question the nutritional value.

As I stood there I got the sense that most of the patrons do this on a regular basis. Then I started to imagine if they started their day with a Isalean Meal Replacement Shake. This shake is power packed with nutrition, high grade protein and so much more. I believe people would begin to realize that if they put quality food in their bodies first thing in the morning, then they would feel better and not have cravings for these empty calories the rest of the day.

I often wonder if it is more of a habit than anything else. I find so many people are just used to doing the same thing everyday. They have their favorite restaurant they go to, Starbucks and other routines that are hard to break. They say it takes 21 to 30 days to break a habit. The other question is, "Do you want to break a bad habit"? If you do, this is where the courage part comes in. Having the courage to change a habit. I know first hand, as I have not only changed my habits about food, I have changed my lifestyle.

When you are no longer held hostage by food then you know that you have done the work necessary to change. With the food supply on the decline in terms of nutrition and safety, I would recommend looking into a new food technology by a company called Isagenix. Try our "7 Day Challenge" because within that 7 days you might, just might, change your life forever. Of course, it is up to you. So, are you up for the "Challenge"?
