How to Become a Greek God; Or, to Be Fit for Life - Part Three

Any real athlete or trainer will acknowledge that their diet is as much of a determinant of their good health as their exercise regime. (Note of clarification: 'diet' as in what they eat each day, not "dieting.") In business life, we can push harder and harder each day to increase income; but profits are a function of costs. It doesn't matter how much income we make, if our costs are too high....we still lose. We understand this math, but often ignore it in our lives. In short, we must each learn how to match our caloric & nutritional intake to our body's needs. This, of course, varies by person....i.e. a young, very active, athletic guy needs much more than someone who works in an office 10 hours a day. Yet, the person sitting at a desk still has ongoing needs for good nutrition. But all too often, when we neglect good/matched nutrition there is a readily available supply of empty calories in junk/fast foods in which we indulge. This section is to help people to get past the "usual suspects" of bad nutrition, and focus on creating diets that are healthy, fun, & tasty. Eating does not have to be another stressor in an already over-stressed life, or a poor substitute for other things. While we are conditioned to think eating is for entertainment or comfort, it is for sustenance & new growth. However, this doesn't have to be an arduous task either. Weight Loss and abs seem to the the hot topics in the fitness world today; everyone aspiring to, or envying, a Greek God physique. But what about "fit for life?" Are those models we see in ads really healthy? How much weight is too much weight, and what is a healthy body weight? This book is the distillation of the expertise of 100's of fitness and health professionals. How can we lose weight, and gain lean muscle mass? How can we enjoy life more? Here are solutions without gimmicks, drugs, expensive equipment, or unnecessary supplements. This is an independent, objective view, without any endorsements or product tie-ins: and thereby provides a clear and reliable path towards becoming your own "Greek God" or "Goddess" ...whatever your circumstances, weight, or age. (Note: due to publisher printing limits, this book is in a few Volumes. But, the whole book will be available as a tablet ebook in a few months with hyper links to participant's webpages, etc. for 1.99, if you purchased the printed versions, under Amazon's MatchBook program. So, all printed volumes together = the whole book; and you will have both a bookshelf edition for home or office, and a ebook edition for mobility. Also, this is a non-profit project, where many people in the book will be doing book signings and profits go directly to hunger relief projects of their choice. So, if they are in the book, they are authorized to sell the books and are reliable/honorable/caring people who will see that the proceeds help people in need. No worries: -)
