If you live anywhere in the sprawl of LA and Orange County, there is a very, VERY good chance you have seen the billboard below. They always crack me up!
I drive past these billboards daily and then get bombarded with radio ads of Lap-Band "success" stories. How much are these people getting paid to do this? If they are real it would be interesting to do a check-up on them a year from now to see if they are still a "success" story and have kept the weight off.
The problem with things like the Lap-Band, Liposuction and getting you stomach stapled as a way to loose weight is that they are only treating the symptom of the underlying problem. The REAL problem of these people is that they eat too much of the wrong food...all the time! A year from now they will go back to unhealthy, overweight and unhappy person they once were.
The real solution is actually treating the REAL underlying problem....eating right and exercise!! There is no substitute.
That's where the Vitamix comes in handy for us. We can eat right and get all the right nutrients to stay healthy and in-shape.
