People Don't Change, Lives Do - Part II

I wanted to go into the idea of how lives change a bit more. This is at the essence of my core values around hard work, diet, persistence and enlightenment.

I get questions from people all the time about some fad diet or fad workout program that promises that they'll drop X pounds or inches in Y weeks. I have no doubt that following these plans to the letter will likely return the kind of results they promise by the date they promise them by.

But that's just it. You can't really follow them to the letter while living your life in the real world, and you'll always be left with the question of what happens after that magic date Y weeks from now. Simple - you will return to the way you were before (or just about - maybe a little better, maybe a little worse off).  Why? You haven't learned how to live better.  You return to the same life based on the same flawed fundamentals.

See, everyone wants to look good for event (wedding, high school reunion, etc). I get it. But who doesn't want to look and, more importantly, feel good all the time? That doesn't come from shake diets. That comes from learning the building blocks of healthy eating and how to get and stay active.

Anyone can read the packaging on Slim-Fast or Hoodia or whatever gimmick you want to look at. It takes more to figure out how to eat smarter and live better. That takes help, guidance, and time. Time is the crucial element because it's how you really learn this stuff at a deeper level so you can sustain it. It becomes what you know naturally rather than something you need to refer to a convenient wallet card to understand to know how many points a turkey sandwich is.

I can help you learn what you need to know, and then you can help yourself change your life. That's how you enlighten.your.body.
