We've launched our new 30-Day Results Program just in time for New Year Resolutions.

Have you struggled to adopt a healthy lifestyle and achieve permanent weight loss success?

Learning smart portion control and maintaining an ongoing fitness program is your key to success. The 30-Day Results Program is a 70 page workbook that provides a simple but comprehensive program and you will only have to commit to a maximum of 5.5 hours of fitness activities per week.

Developed by Caitlyn Lorenze, RD and Jessica Storm CPT this program can get you on track to lose 10-12 pounds in 30 days and keep it off! It's a great way to start the new year.

New Year Dieting

Even though most of us start the new year with the resolution to lose weight as a top resolution, according to research provided by NPD, "the peak dieting month is not January (when typically 23% of adults are on a diet). The top dieting month occurs in March (with typically 26% of adults on a diet)."

According to NPD, of adults currently on a diet, the diet of choice is not Atkins, South Beach or Weight Watchers. The #1 diet is "My Own Diet"

For those creating their own diet, portion control is a key strategy of choice. The Pocket Diet teaches smart portion control but understanding some of the underlining motivations can help you achieve success.
