Health and Fitness Misconceptions

Not A Diet! | Not A How-to! | Not A Fad! | Not A Bank-Breaker! | Save Money!

It’s Not Another Diet!

Family Health and Fitness

Any of these sound familiar? Counting calories, counting points, cabbage soup, herbal teas, no carbs, low-carbs, low-fat, no fat, prepackaged meals, diet pills, excessive exercise, fat-burning zones and the list goes on and on and on. Many of us have tried them and also have seen results with these methods, but the results were short-lived and often it was not a fun process for us or anyone around us. How many people DREAD when someone in their family or a co-worker goes on a diet? Diets lead to anger, depression, deprivation, moping, sighing, and complaining and leave us wondering, “Is it really worth it?”

Lifestyle

Most people do not start on a “diet” and plan on being on the “diet” for the rest of their lives. A diet is a short-term solution to a long-term problem and affects the individual on the diet. What if you could learn a lifestyle, a way of living, that would promote weight release (instead of the “losing” and “finding” game of diets) and it was something you could share with your family. What if you could truly have it all? The Healthy Edge lifestyle offers you just that with our health fitness lesson plans!

Angela’s Story

“I have released over 70 pounds doing a popular diet. A friend asked me how much more weight I was going to lose; I responded, “I’m done!” She came back a week later and said she had been thinking about my answer all week and had never considered being DONE losing weight. The Healthy Edge has provided me with the information I needed to move beyond the diet roller coaster and into a healthy lifestyle!”

It’s Not Another “How-to” Program!

If How To’s Were Enough We Would All Be Rich, Skinny and Happy, by Brian Klemmer, is a great book if you think “how to’s” are enough to create change in your life. The Healthy Edge dives deep into the belief systems that have been haunting you from childhood. Do you have any of these beliefs about health? They sound like this: I have bad genes so I will never be thin… I have to work out for hours to be healthy and fit… I am not worthy… I don’t have the time…I am too old to change… I have to count calories and portion everything to lose weight… I have failed at everything else, so I am sure to fail at this. If these sound familiar, we have the tools and the health and fitness lesson plan to allow you to bust through these once and for all, and we will teach the “how to’s” along the way.

It’s Not Another Fad!

Do you find yourself following after the latest diet craze? Do you get really excited about the latest potion or pill, and are you still waiting for Oprah to reveal the magic cure for weight loss? Well, I have bad news. There is no magic pill and if one comes out we will probably find out a few years later that it causes cancer. What works is making little decisions every day until one day you have the health you always wanted. A lifestyle is the way, and we want to take you step by step through the process with our health and fitness lesson plans!

It Won’t Break The Bank!

The average American household of four spends $254.10 a week on food, not including alcohol and fast food items, according to the Census’ latest Statistical Abstract, which surveyed 5,000 households of varying sizes. The business of losing weight has exceeded 40 billion dollars.

Here is the typical cost to lose 30 pounds on some of the most popular weight loss programs:

Cost

The Healthy Edge online program is a health fitness lesson that only costs $247 per household. The $247 program includes 12 weeks of unlimited website access. This includes over 100 Healthy Edge approved recipes and the full 7 week program including videos, audios and support materials that will teach you how to implement a healthy lifestyle easily and economically. The goal of The Healthy Edge program is for families to experience the health and fitness lesson plan and implement changes together. The Healthy Edge also has Independent Facilitators that can offer group program and personal coaching for an additional fee. Would you spend $247 for health fitness lesson plans if they could change your health reality and your family’s?

The Byrds’ Story

“My husband and I when we first started the Healthy Edge were a little skeptical about the costs for following the program and the changes which would be required to follow it. After 8 weeks we did some comparisons on the costs and were pleasantly surprised.

Before the “Edge” our out of pocket expenses for groceries, coffee (lattes) and dinners out totaled $1244.36 (this was the month of April 09). In checking our expenses for July, which was the first full month of following the “Healthy Edge”, our expenses had dropped $327.61. Quite a substantial drop considering we were now purchasing organic and had started taking nutritional supplements and meal replacement shakes. The savings in our costs have more than covered the small cost of getting the opportunity to become healthy and change our lives.”

It Can Save You Money!

Health Care

The average American household spends less than 10% of their disposable income on food, however, more money per person is spent on health care in the United States than in any other nation in the world. It is estimated that health care costs will be $8,000 per person this year according to a report by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Prescriptions

Americans now spend a staggering $200 billion a year on prescription drugs, and that figure is growing at a rate of about 12 percent a year. The increase in drug spending reflects, in almost equal parts, the fact that people are taking a lot more drugs than they used to, and those drugs are more likely to be expensive new ones instead of older, cheaper ones. Also, the prices of the most heavily prescribed drugs are routinely jacked up, sometimes several times a year.

“Quick Fix”

Our society is practicing what is called “reactive” health care in which people are eating and living with no regard to what ramifications it will have on their health. Prescription drugs and surgeries are the “quick fix” solutions that most people expect when they go to the doctor and are diagnosed with the array of diseases and disorders associated with an unhealthy lifestyle.

Proactive

The Healthy Edge allows you to be proactive in your health. Not only can you save on visits to the doctor, overpriced prescription drugs and unnecessary surgeries with our health and fitness lesson plan, but you will find yourself being more productive at work and home. How many things are you not doing because you don’t have the energy or health for it? After watching our mother battle cancer, it was evident that without your health it becomes impossible to enjoy even the smallest things. Treasure your health.

Wanamakers’ Story

“This is the program that transformed my body and attitude and probably saved my husband John’s life by helping us release over 100 lbs between the two of us. Even better, John’s rating for his life insurance improved so dramatically that it significantly reduced our monthly premiums, we save several hundred dollars a month preparing great tasting food instead of eating out, and we don’t need prescription medications for high blood pressure or diabetes control.

It has truly changed our lives emotionally, physically and financially. It was worth every penny we spent on the class and in retrospect, I would have been willing to spend thousands more to get the results we experienced.”
