Are you planning to make any New Year resolutions this year?
How about the tried and true resolutions to … lose weight? … go to the gym? … starve yourself skinny? … buy those diet pills/videos/clubs/meals you saw/heard about/read about?
You’re probably right! You would look and feel better – if there were “less of you”.
Sadly, your resolution will likely meet the same fate as it did last year, the year before and the year before that.
Why are you likely to fail?

Second, an article in Nutraceutical World, Consumers Fail to Meet MyPlate Guidelines, December 14, 2011 reports: “The nutritionally-balanced quadrants of the USDA’s MyPlate, the graphic interpretation of the new federal dietary guidelines that depicts a healthful daily diet, looks very different than what’s actually on the plates of most Americans, according to The NPD Group, a market research company. NPD’s food and beverage market research finds that for the average consumer, only 2% of their days come close to resembling the USDA’s MyPlate.”
Here’s the way the researchers developed the statistic: “MyPlate days were calculated based on consumers who, on the same day, achieved at least 70% of the daily recommended intake for dairy, fruit, grains, proteins and vegetables. For the average consumer, 2% of their days, or about 7 days a year, come close to the USDA dietary guidelines … .”
Oh, Really – 2% – 70% of the Balanced Diet – 7 Days Each Year?

A Fool and His/Her Money Are Soon Parted
Trillions of Dollars are being spent by people who don’t get it – there are no magic bullets. Besides the lost time and the suffering you endure, the expense of traditional health care, to address the symptoms of Hand to Mouth Disease, costs you BIG BUCKS for insurance copays and drives the cost of health insurance up and up and up. And, don’t forget, the policy limits. What then?
To underscore this point, reports are that universal health care, where available, is being overwhelmed and threatening to bankrupt entire countries. read more …
Billions of Dollars are being spent on bottles of supplements and “natural easy fixes” searching for an herbal magic bullet.

Losing Weight is so much more than most people think. Being Over Weight or Obese is just one of the many symptoms of malnutrition – the very same situation described by the NPD group. And the longer the situation persists – the more challenging the symptoms become.
Malnutrition isn’t the starvation you see on the television. It is a consistently poor diet, described in the study reported earlier. Malnutrition sets up a gradual, almost imperceptible decline in your health that will result in health challenges that no one wants to consider: cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gastric reflux, … well, you get the picture. read more … At the end of this predictable circumstance, obesity is, or will be, the least of your worries.
Q. Can You Lose Weight without dieting and working out?
A. Yes, but 1st you need to resolve the difference between what you are consuming and what you need to be eating to stay healthy in your diet.

Then, you can start ”fixing” the things you have broken with dietary supplements or natural systems for specific needs, like the one’s NUPRO offers.
After that, if weight is still an issue, resolve it then. read more …
Otherwise, continue managing your radiant health with a real food diet and dietary supplements. read more …
