Last week I overheard a conversation between a trainer and a client…they were about 3 feet away from me.  This particular client is very, very active.  She hikes, bikes, consistently workouts out and builds homes with her own two hands for the less fortunate. She gets it.  What she understood about protein was a bit misguided though.

On her long hikes (2 hours plus) she was eating only foods very high in protein with limited to no carbs.  Her understanding was that the protein would stay with her longer and help her keep her energy up during her hike.  She “certainly felt full” when eating this way so she felt like in that regard it was working.  She did not have the energy she was looking for though and that was a bit puzzling for her.  She even understood it takes longer to break down protein than most carbs – so what’s the problem?

Have you ever wondered if low-carb diets are actually unhealthy and potentially dangerous?
Is it at all possible to maintain a low-carb diet for a lifetime? Or is it just a quick-fix?

Well, Registered Dietitian Jayson Hunter has answered those questions – and a lot more. He grew tired of seeing so many new clients come to him with their metabolism slowed to a crawl by their yo-yo dieting approach. He understands people are searching for fast weight loss, but was desperately seeking a way to educate them on the devastating effects of starvation and fad diets.

The problem with fad diets is they get you immediate results. How is that a problem? Two reasons:

You see, Jayson Hunter is a real Registered Dietitian. Unlike so many of the “pretenders” selling snake oil on the internet, he’s actually a trained professional with years of education backing up his claims. The man has over ten years of experience helping people just like you and me to lose weight and keep it off. I’ve really been impressed with his program because I’ve never seen anything like it before. It is a scientifically proven way of eating that can help you shed up to 15 pounds in just 30 days. Again, the difference is this isn’t some sort of fad diet you have no prayer of sticking with to keep the weight off.

Not even close.

No, the bulk of his system is actually focused on taking those drastic results you see early in the program and making them PERMANENT. And isn’t that what you really want?

Look: There is no magic pill, potion or special food that will deliver the results you are searching for. Jayson explains, in language anyone can understand, the secret to fast weight loss is found in common nutrients you eat all the time. When you eat them at the correct times and quantities, well, the fat literally melts right off!

Eat right.  Exercise right.  Win.

Recently I recieved one of those emails with about 4 fwd’s in front of the subject.  Because it came from my wife Andrea I decided to open it.  I got a kick out of it so I share it with you.

I find it interesting that an email like this will become “viral” on the net but when you try to promote something of real importance – like how to eat well, I come up short.
