Congrats!

Congrats to all those who are finishing their first month on TSFL and to the weight they have lost. I now have the privelage of working with 10 people towards their health goals. They had the courage to do something and do something NOW!

So many people I talk to have struggled for years, if not their entire life with weight. They come to me in tears, asking what, if anything can be done to help them. What I have found to be THE KEY to long term weight loss success is....

A SYSTEM!

We have all probably heard the saying: "people fail, systems work!" It is no different with weight loss. We can't do it on our own. Or at least make long-lasting permanent changes. So it is time to use a tried and true system that works. Start today. Make a choice that you will start today. Call me to help 878-3304.

Yours in health

TIME FOR A CHANGE!!

I have been reading a great book lately, "Tribes" by Seth Godin. This book is about leadership and the need for leadership right now. It is time for all of us to stand up and lead, make a change in our own lives, our families, and friends. If we start helping those we know and have influence with then we can change our families,communities, country, and the world.

Obesity and being overweight is an epedemic in this country, and we as Americans are leading the world in that direction. Do we want our children and grandchildren to have shorter lives than us, riddled with health problems because we didn't take care of ourselves or try to help them to learn how to live healthy lives.

The time is NOW. Make a goal to get healthy, lose weight, and exercise. Tell your family about your goals, then DO IT!! If you wait till tomorrow or next month then you will never start, becasue tomorrow never comes. EVER.

Call me at 878-3304 I have exercise and weigt loss programs to help you get started. Plus I am committed to coaching you to success. Good luck with your goals and let me be a part of them.

Research on TSFL and Medifast

So we have many of my practice member's who are working to get their lives back by using Medifast Meals and Take Shape For Life program. Here a some great studies that prove the effectiveness of this program:

• The Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Nutrition and Health
Research Clinic: Multicenter Evaluation of Health Benefits and Weight Loss On the Medifast
Weight Management Program.

The purpose of the investigation was to evaluate the efficacy of a medically supervised, protein-supplemented, modified fasting program for weight reduction and to evaluate the impact of weight reduction on coexisting health problems. The center selected Medifast products (Medifast 55 and Medifast 70) to provide the protein and calorie requirements necessary for the study. Researchers conducted an investigation of randomly selected patient charts from Medifast clinics across the nation. The study was comprised of predominately white, middle-aged females who had completed the Medifast program. The results of the study concluded that medically supervised, protein-sparing, modified fasts offer a safe and effective means of weight reduction and are accompanied by significant improvements in coexisting health problems. Of the samples taken, males lost an average of 67 pounds and females lost an average of 47 pounds during fasting. The study found significant reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as the normalizing of blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

Obesity Epidemic

Over 66% of American's are considered obese. At our current trends of increasing weight gain as a population, experts predict by 2022 over 80% will be overweight. Plus obesity is one of the leading causes of almost all major health problems:

1. Heart disease
2. Cancer
3. Stroke
4. Type II diabetes
5. Sleep Apnea

Plus with current levels of obesity, it is estimated that this young generation will be the first whose life expectancy will be less than their parents. However this is ALL preventable. What are we each doing to make changes. Once we ourselves get healthy we can become examples and advocates for our children, grandchildren, friends, and neigbors.

Take Shape for Life and Medifast Meals are a scientifically researched program that works. It has programs to fit anyone's needs. From senior's, diabetics, even youth. So call Dr. T and take that first step back to health. 878-3304.

First Event.

On Wednesday January 21 we had our first Take Shape for Life seminar. It was a great turnout and those that attended are on their way to healthy long term weight loss. Here is the story of my wife's cousin and how TSFL helped him. For more information and a FREE consultation call Melanie at 878-3304.

"Five years ago I had a Brain Hemorrhage. With this, came a lot of tests and a lot of bad news concerning my health: I weighed 255 and I was put on medication to control my blood pressure and my cholesterol. I decided to make a life change. For a year I was prohibited to exercise, I wish I had this program during that time. After that year I started my change. I worked out, I watched what I ate and I lost 30lbs during a 2 year period. Great, right? Well, I was still over weight and I was still on my medications. Then, I was introduced to Take Shape For Life. In two months I lost 35 lbs and I have kept it off ever since. I am off my medications and I am qualifying for medical insurances and life insurances which were never an option. I now weigh 190 and I feel healthier then eve" Chad Christen (pictures on the side)
