VITAMIN WATER Gets a bad rap
(I could see this coming a mile away)



Well Coca Cola is getting sued, again. Why? Because vitamin water is bunk! It is full of sugar and has minimal vitamins in it. It is literally like drinking a can of pop with the V-water containing 33grams of sugar per bottle!!!

"Drink Your Water"....something I tell my clients all the time.
I have heard a ton of excuses from people about not wanting to drink water. Here are some of the regular excuses I hear daily:
I can't drink water. Water tastes gross to me. I have never been able to drink water, I drink Ice Tea or Vitamin water instead. I drink tea and coffee during the day that has water in it. Water makes me pee all day and my boss doesn't like me going to the bathroom all the time so I do not drink water at work. I just drink Gatorade when I am thirsty, all the pro athletes do it.
WHAT! Is the laziness getting this bad!
Yesterday I was getting my groceries and over heard a couple saying they were SO thirsty (this couple would be in the obese category). They opened up the fridge and took out two Vitamin waters...when the H2O was right beside it! I really do think they were trying to be somewhat good, as the title "Vitamin Water" sounds like you are choosing the right product. Right? Wrong!
My question to you all is: why are people choosing this?
I know on the back lable you can read all the fancy vitamins and think, "man I am being good!". But why not eat a well balanced diet and get your vitamins that way? Why do people always want the quick fix, when quick fixes are slowly killing people all over the earth! They do not work! Please hear this......
The quicker it comes off, the quicker you get sick, the quicker you gain it all back!
Stick to water people, good old-fashion water and good old fashion food! Stop feeding the Big Boss companies more money to create crap products that are rapidly making Canada and USA's "Obesity" and "Diabetes" rates grow faster than a kid eating a box of french fries for his school lunch! (that is another massive problem!!)

Here are some tips to get you started.

1.) You should never get to the point of "I'm thirsty".
2.) Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces every day of H2O (this is the minimal amount, if you exercise you will need more, hard labor job you need more...get the picture)
3.) Eat a well balanced diet and get your vitamins that way.
4.) Get a coach to help you out.....yeah that's me :-) I am here to help!
5.) There are no quick fixes people. When you get on the right path to health it is actually quite simple!
6.) The choice is always YOURS every time you eat or drink food, you cannot blame others. Simply choose wisely :-)
7.) Listen to Your body: your body gives you signals all day, especially before and after you eat food. It will tell you "hey this is good, I have energy" and "oh crap this is bad, I feel like sh!$". You have all felt these feelings and signals before, and have felt the wrath of not listening. Why do you want to keep giving your self migraines, gas, stomach problems, diarrhea, parasites, bigger clothes, mood swings, depression, low sex drive and a larger number on the scale?
Eat right, drink well and you will start to feel fantastic!

It is time to stop feeling like crap and take ACTION towards feeling fantastic!

Move Forward
