So What’s The Problem?

For starters, unhealthy diets are the problem. We know big juicy, greasy, cheeseburgers, hamburgers French-fries etc., taste great and we know intellectually that they are not ‘good’ for our overall health.

But we cram them down and finish them off with a big slug of sugar, known affectionately as ‘soft’ drinks. I guess they’re ‘soft’ because they go down easily.

We know from research that if we apply the ‘Slight Edge’ theory taught by Jeff Olson, over the years there is a good chance that we might clog an artery or two with our choice of diet.

The Solution: Simple, but Hard to Do

Daily exercise and consuming balanced portions of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish is the key to a healthy diet; simple, but hard to do. And I am willing to wager someone out there can show me, backed by statistics, why fresh fruits and vegetables are not good for us. Their opinion, their right.

About Me

I am a 60 year young, Baby Boomer, lived an active lifestyle in California, retired after a 30+ year career and moved east. After retiring it became clear I would need extra income.  I moved to the rural south and opened a retail business. Oops! Wrong idea!

Stress Made Me Do It

With a few years of business challenges, lack of exercise, less than stellar eating habits and poor nutrition, I was not in the best physical condition.  I was stressed!

I had invested my life in activities like weight training, baseball, running, racquetball, skating … something all the time.

Suddenly, overnight, actually it was after 3 years of Slight Edge inactivity, I gained 35 pounds; none of it muscle.

What finally got my attention was I went back to ‘Cali’ for a visit and my friends kept telling me I looked ‘good’, ’settled’ and worst of all … ‘healthy’.

Ouch! I had run from looking ‘healthy’ since I was 16.  An uncle had drilled it into me that if someone said I looked ‘healthy’, I was overweight … by a lot.

Wake-up Call

After all of the well-meaning compliments I knew I had to do something.

Having been athletic my answer was simple. I needed to get back to exercising, cut down calories, eat the proper food groups and augment my diet with vitamins and supplements; Simple, but hard to do.

It is now 10 months later. I’ve lost over 35 pounds.  (was up to 40, but got cocky)

Now clothes that were destined for charity fit again, and I’m having pants taken in at the waist. I feel great!

My vitamin of choice: GBG Liquid Vitamins. 

One cap-full meets my daily nutritional needs, curbs afternoon snack attacks and has substantially increased my energy. 

I don’t always sleep 8 hours but still wake up energized.  My higher energy level lasts all day, not like some of the ‘instant’ energy drinks where I zoom up and careen back down within an hour.

An added benefit is more focus and concentration, specifically on my business.

That in a nutshell is why I am passionate about and share the benefits of GBG with my entire family.  We know it is important to eat a healthy diet and exercise, but life gets in the way of living.

That is why I choose to balance my diet with supplements.

But that is my opinion and my right.

Opinions Are Like (A… fill in the blank …S) Every-Body Has One

And I am no different.

Today I’m writing about why I take vitamins. I’m going to journal the next year or so about becoming healthier through nutrition, exercise, rest and whatever else comes up that works for me.

A CreateVitality Newsletter subscriber sent me an article a few days ago that almost ticked me off … almost.

Then I remembered a few words of wisdom a friend at work blessed me with over 25 years ago.

As usual I was going on, probably railing, about the latest discoveries in my book of the moment; discoveries that were going to ’set me free financially’. She constantly made it clear that she had absolutely no desire to be ’set free.’

But since she was in the cubicle next to mine she was a captive audience with no way to escape.

There’s no doubt in my mind that my conversation was an attempt on my part to ‘convince’ her to come over to my way of thinking. For months I had accosted her with every single method to wealth and riches that had come to my attention.

At last I finally wore her down because she sighed. That was my interpretation.

As I opened my mouth to ramp it up again, she sighed again and said something that was so profound it gave me entry into the minds of many.

She taught me in a few words that what I thought was great wasn’t necessarily meaningful to everyone within earshot.

Exasperated, she said, “Dammit Dillon! There’s a book written for every $@%!#& who knows how to read!”

Ouch! I was stunned into silence … just what she no doubt desired. That day I learned a lesson. Everyone has an opinion and it is their right.

Having said all that, in the article I received Monday the author went on and on, with statistics to back up his opinion, about how nutritional supplements are useless; a waste of time and money. And for him that’s cool.

Of course, I beg to differ and I am going strictly on how I feel after using a liquid multi-vitamin for the past 10 months.  

This is Not a Sales Pitch

Most people consider the preceding statement the beginning of an elaborate sales pitch, geared toward stripping their wallets of content. Well, it’s not.

I don’t really need tell you what you already know; how we all need the proper mix of vitamins and nutrients to live a healthy life style; because we’ve been constantly bombarded with that information forever.

If you decide to take vitamins or supplements, mine or someone else’s, it won’t be because you read one article. It will be because you did your research and found what works best for you, like I did. It may not even be vitamins and supplements, but that is why we research.

Why Do I take Vitamins?

Just as the author had his ‘proof’ that supplements are useless, there are many legitimate, scientific reasons why you should consider adding vitamins as a supplement to your normal diet; the proverbial ‘book for everyone.’

But that is not why I take vitamins and supplements. I take vitamins because since I began this regimen 10 months ago, I have lost 35 pounds; I have much more energy; I’m more alert; I have Vitality!

In any event I go by how I feel and I feel great. That being said I will tell you in the next article why I choose GBG Liquid Multi-Vitamins.

Hello again, and welcome back. I hope you will bear with me.

Today’s article is going to be in three parts. I’m going to talk about why I’m finally proud to say I am an Internet Marketer. It was not always this way.

I also want to talk about why right now is one of the better times to get involved with a network marketing opportunity.

Yeah, I know, some people just stopped reading, saying, “I’ve heard it all before.” If that’s the case, so be it. This industry is not for everyone.

When many people hear about a network marketing so-called opportunity, they immediately conjure up thoughts about the entire industry, usually negative thoughts.

These are people who heard the stories, or rather lies, of how much money could be made, how they would be rich by a week from Tuesday and their financial problems would be solved

They would hurriedly join, not have a clue of what to do, have no real guidance because of the way most network marketing companies are structured, find out it was all a pipe-dream, and quit within months if not weeks.

And let’s be realistic, most people do initially join a network marketing company, because plain and simply, they need more money; not because they get so caught up in the great products or services that they just HAVE to tell everyone about.

Then there’s the other negative. The people who have covered the entire industry, all network marketing companies, under what they mistakenly call a pyramid, or better yet a pyramid SCHEME! I guess adding the word scheme makes it more sinister to the folks who are uneducated about what a

REAL network marketing company is. A company that is legitimate, from the ground up.

A legitimate network marketing opportunity is by far not a pyramid scheme.

Most of the negativity though, comes from people who have joined network marketing companies, and for many different reasons they have failed miserably.

Some lost money because they had to purchase goods that ended up in the back of their closet or stacked in the garage, because they were directly competing with big box discount retailers.

Some lost friends and family members because they chased them down and figuratively beat them over the head with their great product or service until they gave up and bought in to the plan, only to quit the first chance they got.

I’m speaking from experience here. I did it just like that; just like I was taught. I went for the hype because I was naïve. My friends hated to see me coming.

I don’t need to go on and on about the negatives because there are as many horror stories as there are people who have failed at the business.

I’m sure you’ve heard a few your self.

Till next time,
