Signature Lines on Weight Loss Websites
Posted by: | Comments
FollowA reader recently wrote to ask why I don’t include my weight statistics in my signature line. A great observation and excellent question.
Typically in on-line weight loss communities a signature is written with starting weight/current weight/target weight – so for me that would be (287/146/140). For a long time after WLS I did carry the weight stats on my signature line – it was part of who I was and a measure of progress.
But the day came when I didn’t want to be measured by those numbers any longer. I wanted to be about more than being fat and losing weight.
Weight Loss Psychology
Posted by: | CommentsThe health clubs are always racking their brains trying to figure out why they have such a hard time keeping members coming back. Most owners would argue that cash flow and profit margins are the most important reason to retain membership. Yes, but what drives customers to these health clubs? These owners have lost touch with what matters most, the customer! Give the customer more than they expect and they will continue to do business with you. Selling a product or service is about people more so than numbers on a spreadsheet.

The Facts About Fats
Posted by: | CommentsFat
Some years ago health visitors were reporting a rash of reports on under-weight toddlers in middle-income households. Concerned parents were putting their small children on low-fat diets, believing this to be healthy. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. Fats are essential to everyone’s health. Between 25 and 30% of our daily calories should come from fats, and they are extremely important for children and adults. Fat contains 9 calories per gram, and is energy-dense compared to carbohydrates and proteins (4 calories/g). Although you need up to 30% calories from fat, the actual weight volume of fat on your plate should be small.
