Each year, millions of Americans make that resolution to start dieting. Billions of dollars are spent on weight loss products. Many are even desperate enough to try the latest fad diet, although dangerously unhealthy, from ingesting pills containing tapeworms, to eating nothing but Twinkies, to smoking cigarettes as opposed to eating.
“Many people abandon these crash/fad diets when life gets stressful or time is short,” explained Dr. Kyle Peacock of Fishers-based Peacock Family Chiropractic.
“We have more products and marketing put into diets than any other country, yet we are ahead of the pack when it comes to obesity,” he continued. “With 63 percent of (all) adults overweight and 36 percent obese, America is getting worse from year to year, not better.”
Considering these grim statistics and diet failures, is there a way that busy professionals raising families have a chance for successful and sustainable weight loss while staying healthy?
Peacock Family Chiropractic, a Maximized Living Health Center, is inviting residents to attend a workshop, “Maximized Living Makeover: Lose to Win,” to educate those interested in effective and realistic nutrition plans, workouts that burn more fat in less time, understanding how hormones effect weight loss and participate in a weight loss challenge.
“We encourage people who are eager to change their lifestyle to sign up for the ‘20 in 30 (Weight Loss) Challenge,’” Peacock said. “This is a specific period and plan that people are going to lose 20 pounds in 30 days. It is fun to set high goals, and see how people first think it is impossible but soon realize they are actually achieving their goal!
“We will see dozens of people shed pounds and keep them off, and people in Fishers will be doing it with thousands of people around the country as they are learning the same principles from other Maximized Living doctors,” Peacock continued. People will stay motivated because I have already seen hundreds of people change their lifestyle.”
Maximized Living Makeover will be held Feb. 7, from 9 a.m. to noon at Peacock Family Chiropractic, 11773 Commercial Dr. Tickets are $40 for the first family member and includes a Maximized Living book, “Cruise Ship or Nursing Home,” with step by step plans for losing 20 pounds in 30 days.
Additional family tickets are $10 per person. Early bird registration is available until Jan. 24. The first family member to sign up early will pay $35, and additional family members will pay just $5 per person.
