What's weighing you down?

I'm getting new business cards printed this week in anticipation of three health expos I will be attending as a vendor. I came up with a new tag line. See what you think:

"I lost 30 pounds of toxin-filled fat in 4 months. I've never been healthier."

Our employee, Anthony, responded with "Ewwww." And looked at his own belly. It brings home the harsh truth that Americans, due to S.A.D. (standard American diet) and environmental toxins, are DIRTY on the inside.

Toxin-filled FAT. I want to have a vat of fat to show. It's in part due to autopsy findings that the scientists behind the products David, Laura and I are consuming came to discover the ugly fact about fat. I mean ugly beyond the ugly that fat itself is as it sits on and around vital organs, choking them slowly. The TRUE ugly fact is that inside each fat cell is a piece of dirt. Much like an oyster will form a pearl around a grain of sand, your body forms insulation around toxins in the form of fat and fluid.

So, what's weighing you down? Do you think that little pudge around your tummy is cute? Would you think it was as cute if you could examine it under a microscope? Would you think it was as cute, and harmless, if you knew that with just 20 additional pounds on you, you're at greater risk for heart disease, diabetes, and all the other obesity-related, potentially fatal diseases? It's not cute. And it's not necessary. Get rid of it, and do it now.

Do you have four months to devote to your life? Let me put it this way: can you afford to spend about 35 minutes a day on the most precious asset you have - which is YOUR BODY? If you invest this small amount of time, and feed yourself the clean and healthful products that are available and affordable and delicious, in 4 months time you could be saying "I lost 60 pounds of toxin-filled fat in 4 months." Why stop at 30, if you have 40, 50, or 60 pounds of excess weight to lose? 60 is as easy as 30, it just takes a little more effort. The 35 minutes a day I mentioned includes moving around for 30 minutes! Walk, jog, jump, swim, garden, climb, MOVE it or lose it.
