Regulating soft drinks in the US
http://video.msnbc.msn.com/nbc-news/47727244/#47724431
Check out this video. Regulating soft drinks in the US is a great step in the direction of fighting obesity and I fully support any movement like it. I also agree we should have a higher tax on fast food also, just like most states have a higher tax on cigarettes. We need to make healthy food options like organic produce and natural meats and fish more reasonable and raise the rates on fast food and sugary drinks and make it less convenient.
Please help myself and others fight this obesity problem NOW

LHT(Leaner Healthier Teens) Revolution is now in SOUTH FLORIDA
Hello Everyone,
We are officially launching the Leaner, Healthier Teen Revolution weight loss (not a diet, but a lifestyle) book and program to teens and tweens worldwide and I will be starting classes in South Florida including Broward, Palm Beach and Martin Counties very soon! We need YOUR help to stop the adolescent obesity crisis facing our nation. I would appreciate if you could help me spread the word that our program is here to help! Send them to www.LHTRevolution.com or http://www.facebook.com/pages/LHT-Revolution-South-Florida/272590526171958 and email me at lhtrevolutionsf@gmail.com. Also please let me know if I can be of service to YOU and YOUR business in any way! One in three teens are currently overweight and this generation is said to be the "first generation to not outlive their parents!" Please help US help them!
Our Philosophy
We believe WORDS have power!
Actions may speak louder than words, but learning to control your own self talk is as important to learn as being active. Reaching ANY goal starts from the inside out. Teaching adolescents how to control emotional eating, be kind to themselves and view their bodies in a more positive way is just part of the plan. Each week the classes are designed around a TION word like Motivation, Inspiration and Education, focusing on only the positive aspects of health and nutrition. There is NO SHAME in our program and this allows our students to enjoy the process instead of dreading it.
Our Mission
Teen weight loss transformation! As one of the fastest growing teen nutrition education weight loss programs in the U.S, LHT is helping youth across the country transform their lives! The program is designed in six week increments and taught in a classroom like setting. It’s based on healthy food exchanges and teaches teens and tweens how to make healthier food choices both at school and at home. It also includes one-on-one and group support and encouragement from a trained nutrition advisor (we call them LHT coaches) who are experienced and skilled professionals in health, nutrition and fitness.

So you want to start a family? Why being healthy is so important!!
So you want to start a family? I hear so many people tell me this all the time, especially young women. Many of them are getting married, just got married or maybe ready to expand their growing family with a new addition. It is so important for you as a person to get healthy, eat clean and exercise if this is what you are going to do.
Right now, you may be overweight, obese or even skinny fat. You may not be exercising or eating clean on a regular occasion. You also may be very stressed and emotionally unhealthy. Unfortunately, all of these problems should be addressed by you and your partner before taking the next step to bringing that joyous addition into your life.
Your probably asking why I say you should address all of these problems before having that baby and/or growing your family? Well, at this time 68.8% of Americans are overweight or obese and 35.7% of Americans are obese, 31.8% of American children and adolescence are overweight or obese and 16.9% are obese. This is an ever rising number in America and by 2030 it is projected that 42% of American Adults will be in the obese category, meaning that the American children who are now at 16.9% obese will make up a portion of that 42% of American adults who are obese.
This is a problem and it is very sad. It makes me wonder why so many people are letting themselves get this way. Too many people are uneducated about how to be healthy, how to eat clean and how to exercise. I believe that YOU, as an adult who wants to bring another child into this world, needs to learn, practice and preach being healthy, eating clean and exercising before allowing another child, who will then become an adult become a part of that percentage. If you do not know how to be healthy, eat clean and exercise, there are so many resources out there that you can be a part of in order to become a healthier version of you. Many of which are free or very reasonable and if you think you can't afford it, look at your medical bills and receipts and add up how much you are spending in doctor visits, prescriptions, fast food, restaurants, processed foods, bigger clothes and therapy for depression, anxiety and stress. When you add all of this up you will be amazed at how much you spend, in return if you become healthier and start exercising daily and eating clean, unprocessed whole foods you will actually save more money because you will have less to none of the doctor bills, prescriptions, fast foods receipts, restaurant receipts, high grocery bills, therapy visit costs and will be able to spend money on clothes that are smaller for that healthier version of you.
I promise that if you become healthier, exercise daily and eat clean you will become happier, healthier (both physically and mentally) and more energetic daily.
Once you do this and your partner and family are on board, then its a great time to start that family, because in return you will be doing not only yourself but the next generation to come a favor. Obesity will not rise if we can all get on board. You will be able to teach your children and then your grand-children how to be healthy, eat clean and exercise because you will be healthy enough to live that long.
Don't let your weight take over your life and prevent you from doing the things you want to do. Enjoy life and enjoy who you are while being healthy, exercising and eating clean as an individual and as a family and help turn around the sad statistic of the ever growing percentage of overweight and obese Americans and lets see that number go down to 0% by the year 2030.
