Question: "Are You Ready To Change"?

I speak to so many people everyday about their health and, of course, their weight. There are millions of people in this country looking for that magic bullet to get them healthy and to lose those unwanted pounds. When I ask them what they are doing to achieve a better lifestyle and improved health, most of the answers I receive are, "I'm watching what I eat and I exercise a little".

Sometimes I press them a bit further and ask them, "What does that mean, you watch what you eat"? The most common response is that they eat salads and try to eat chicken and fish. Doesn't sound so convincing, does it? I think most people don't really think about what their eating as long as it tastes good and it satisfies their hunger...for the time being.

Perhaps they don't know how or what to eat to create better health. I know that we, as a society, get bombarded with information and you have to be able to sift through the advertising and get to the real information. Unfortunately, very few people actually do that. Advertisers are very good at making their products sound so good, and yet a lot of them mislead the public about what's really in the food they are selling. We need food labeling laws!

It really comes down to you and your interest in getting healthy. After all, are you ready to change? I know a lot of people say they are really ready this time, and they think they are because they stopped eating a certain food or stopped drinking soda, but that isn't the change I'm talking about. When I describe to people my lifestyle change they look at me and say, "I could never do that". I'm speaking, of course, about the "7 Day Super Food Challenge" and how this protocol has literally changed my life. If has changed my life because I have changed my lifestyle.

In order to truly change your health you are going to have to change what you eat. There is no easy way to get around it and believe me I've tried. Until I changed my eating habits, nothing really changed. You could tell me that you eat healthy until your blue in the face, but you are not going to convince me. I've seen it so many times and heard everything many times over, but the fact that people still eat the way they do demonstrates they are not serious about their health. Do I sound like a jerk right now? I'm not, I'm just speaking the truth.

Unless you are willing to make the commitment to yourself and change what you are eating then you will always be chasing that goal of better health. I'm not saying my way is the only way, but it is light years from where most people are in terms of creating better health. Try a sample of what good nutrition looks like.
