National Health And Wellness Club

Carole Carson’s decision to spend $1,600 on a personal trainer and $150 a month for a gym membership seemed extravagant. But when she compared it to what she spent to maintain her car, her perspective changed. And when she looked at what she could save on groceries, prescriptions, doctors, hospitalizations, and tests if she trimmed down, the investment looked like a bargain! With the perspective Carole provides, financial issues become manageable. Just as Carole did, you will find that fitness beyond your wildest dreams is well within your reach. Carole is the author of From Fat to Fit--Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction.

You want to lose weight, but do you know about the secret get-thin ingredient? It’s a key component in all the popular diets, and in the March/April 2007 issue of Today’s Health & Wellness, registered dietitian M.J. Smith showed us how to capitalize on its benefits in three simple steps: (1) Aim for 30 grams of fiber daily, (2) Tune into your body, and (3) Drink plenty of water. Follow the progress of several Club members as they give this fiber diet a try, or get in on the action yourself. You don’t want to miss this fool-proof way to lose — and keep off — unwanted pounds.
