Recession Fat

Marketwatch has a nice piece on the effect the recession is having on our health and waistlines. Its not pretty!

Here's the main takeaway statistics:

• Potato chip sales are up 22% from 2007


• Tortilla chip sales up 17% in same period


• Microwaved meals rose 10% from a rate that had been pretty much flat for more than 15 years


• The number of meals cooked by actually cooking dropped from 53% in 1985 to 33% this year

The culprit is that "healthy" costs more. No surprise to anyone who shopped at a Whole Foods recently. One of the ironies of using the Isagenix system for weight loss is that not only do you get great nutrition, but it costs less. All in when using the 30-day Cleansing and Fat-Burning system I spend less than $4.50 per meal. Yes, that includes the shipping and sales tax. I suppose you could spend that little by eating at McDonald's, but you know you don't want that.

In the first 30 days of using this system I lost more than 20 pounds and felt better than I had in years. And if your problem is time, not money, this is still the system to start with. Five minutes in the morning and at night to make a tasty shake and a light lunch and you'll feel the diference in days. Really. Just try it. Get in touch and let me help you get started!
