Dr McDougall - Intro to Health Conference

Dr McDougall - Introductory Remarks - VIDEO

What's up with Bob?

I think I am retired?

I sold Security One in 2005......Started traveling the world......I bought a condo in Bangkok and visit a couple times a year.

I ate, drank, and partied for the past 8 years......and got fatter and fatter.

I peaked at over 340 lbs.....last year I lost 20 lbs.

This year I decided to get serious....and focus....I walk on South Beach (I hate driving and parking here).....and follow Dr. McDougall's Plant based "Starch" diet......and try not to drink to much Jack Danials...... it's been amazing...I've lost 30 lbs since February eating potatoes, rice, pasta...with Veggies and fruits.....

I dont play golf.....I dont go boating....I walk almost every day....2 -3 hours.....

I love people watching...all the hot bodies

So....is the cup half full? or half empty?

I think it is half full......I am getting healthy and enjoying Paradise!

As long as I don't have to drive on I-95 or deal with crazy people.....Life is Good!

Health is my only focus.......

My biz partner had a stroke a few years ago.....my Sales Manager had a pacemaker....my former CFO (asshole lowlife that stole $200k) died from a heart attack at 54 yrs old (karma)....and several former employees had Heart by-pass surgery.....

So between my friends and business associates that are on medication for Diabetes, Hypertension, Cholesterol, Stress and Anxiety........ I am the fattest and probably in worse shape!....So I decided to focus on healthy and take care of myself before the shit hits the fan!

Here are a couple videos that have motivated me to get healthy.....

Keep in touch! 

Dr. McDougall - Starch?

Yes, we are all "programmed" with so much mis-information about starch it was very difficult for me to accept the premise. I had always thought that Sumo Wrestlers were fed large quantities of rice to gain weight and eating carbs like potatoes end up turning to fat. Dr. McDougall's lectures and the support of the group helped me re-think and better understand the damage our SAD from animal protein has done to us. I thought it was going to be impossible, but it is really easy and makes perfect sense now. It's really been easy and I enjoy it. I've watched all the videos I can find on You Tube from Dr McDougal, Dr Campbell, Dr Esselstyn, Dr Barnard, and others and have listened to all of Dr. McDougall's radio shows on I-Tunes. ...Really Awesome information! The biggest revelation has been that eating Vegan does not mean eating healthy. Almost all restaurants offer "healthy" vegan food, but it's usually cooked or covered with oil... even most of the food in vegan restaurants.... at one very popular vegan restaurant a waitress even told me that 'this is a vegan restaurant, not a health food restaurant' after I asked if I could get anything not cooked in oil! So I've learned it's just better to eat at home. So it's not a diet, its a learning journey!

Dr. McDougall's latest book, Starch...available on Amazon

Governor Christie - Lap Band ?

Too bad Governor Chris Christie wasn't in Costa Rica with me for the Dr. McDougall Healthy Lifestyle retreat........ It's been 12 weeks and i've lost 30 lbs! I'm looking forward to my trip to California for the 10-day HEALTH program in June.
