Could you please tell us a little about your book?
The first part delves into health care and insurance reform. Part II is the focus, where simple, common sense methods for attaining proper body composition – I don’t like the term “weight loss” as it is to me, an incomplete and incorrect approach – and transitioning into a healthy lifestyle/healthy living is explained. I also include a self-evaluation for health and lifestyle.
Did something specific happen to prompt you to write this book?
I came across some very dismal health and lifestyle statistics from sources like the CDC, U.S. Surgeon General, and RAND Center.
Who or what is the inspiration behind this book?
The plethora of 250+ page long involved books on diets, exercise, healthy cooking as well as the many diet and meal programs and diet potions being marketed over the years as “secrets” and “”magic” and the next best thing to “quick weight loss” and KNOWING these were marketing gimics.
What cause are you most passionate about and why?
Making people aware of the simple, common sense methods for living a healthy lifestyle which will lead to proper body composition and being healthier long term, as well as enlightening people about changing lifestyle priorities (i.e., entertainment venues like dining out, sports events, TV, etc. vs. outdoor activities, fitness activities/centers, meditation)
Who has influenced you throughout your career as a writer?
Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Jack LaLane, Mike Dooley.
What is the most important thing in your life right now?
Increasing awareness about, promoting and getting the spotlight on my book, i..e., increasing sales.
What are you currently working on?
Just finished a book of positive/spiritual affirmations and have begun to write a children’s short story book.
What do you feel sets this book apart from others in the same genre?
With the time compressed and busy schedules most folks have today, I deliberately wrote the book to be nuts-n-bolts, under 100 pages so it would be a quick read. It is NOT about dieting or “weight loss”, denounces diets and weight loss plans and pills as unnecessary. It advocates a healthy lifestyle as one which includes body, mind and spirit habits and focuses on simple, common sense, healthy nutrition, supplementation, exercise/fitness. Unlike other books, it includes sleep, recreation, meditation, slowing down daily schedules, utilizing preventive practices (D.C., L.M.T., Lic. Acc., etc.), a self-evaluation of health and lifestyle, as well as tailoring health coverage, all as part of a healthy lifestyle
This is great stuff. I've been in the field for years, but I'm still learning and this really makes sense.
An interesting read and although I like many have tried several of the latest diets I have not been able to stick with them for various reasons. My last attempt is scheduled for next month and researchng the latest diets I have heard some good things about the Fat Burning Furnace. Has anyone here tried it and is it any good?
can you post more on health?
