This weekend I traveled up to Boise, Idaho to attend a educational seminar on Take Shape For Life and Medifast Meals weight loss system.
I got to listen to co-founder and Medical Director of Medifast, Dr. Wayne Scott Andersen. He graduated first in his class in med school, was the 10th physician licsened in critical care, and was a pioneer in critical care and intensive care. For years he treated people who were at the end of their journey, many of which were there prematurely. He saw a glaring weakness in our current medical system and how it treats patients. That is why he started Take Shape For Life. He realized that giving people medications didn't fix the problem. It just suppressed symptoms for a time and then caused greater problems in the future.
Most of us start out at 5-10 pounds over weight. If we eat only 500 calories more than we burn each week we will gain 7.5 pounds a year. That doesn't sound like much but in 10 years it is 75 pounds. 20 years it is 150 pounds. 500 calories isn't very much. It ends up being 2 oreo cookies everyday. That's it.
Then as we age and are overweight problems start to occur. First we buy over the counter meds. Things for indegestion or joint pain. Then it gets worse and we get prescription meds for the indegestion. Then it leads to cholesterol meds, high blood pressure, Type II diabetes and so on. All of this can be prevented. The best part is that if you are overweight or already on meds you can get off them. You can get off them and get your health back. Just losing 50 pounds can get you 10 years back on your life.
Call me to help you. I am on this journey with you. I am doing the program, I have currently lost 20+ pounds. For the next 5 people that come in have a consulstation with me about this program and get started I will give them a copy of Dr. Andersen's new book, a $35 value. Call 878-3304 now and get started.
