ESPN, HBO, CNN, ABC-TV, E, FOX News, Good Morning AmericaIt takes an Intense Passion & Enthusiasm to achieve Success in your Business, Fitness & Lifestyle Goals. My guest is Entreprener, Celebrity Nutritionist & Fitness Specialist ~ Robert Ferguson, MS, CN. Healthful living and lifestyle changes work," said the author of Conquering the Munchie Monster. "What so many look for is a quick fix; but at the end of the day, they are less than successful because they don't believe they can be successful." Ferguson, who owns the company Diet Free Life, has been helping people achieve weight loss through healthful living since 1998.A former U.S. Marine, he works with both the general population and celebrities. He also is a physical conditioning and nutrition specialist for professional boxers on Showtime®, HBO®, ESPN® and "The Contender." One of Ferguson's goals is to bridge the gap within the African American community between knowing what is healthful and practicing what it knows. He conducts free live cooking demonstrations and fitness programs, and delivers motivational speeches in urban areas across the country. Ferguson teaches people how to make their favorite recipes more healthful, and he shows his clients how to incorporate good health into their existing lifestyles with diet and fitness plans customized to meet each person's needs. "There is a misconception that healthful living is boring, bland and difficult to maintain. But it really can be enjoyable, fun and easy," he said. "Many people who want to be healthy feel like they have to walk away from their cultural identities," he added. "They have an all-or-nothing mindset: either eat bland and boring -- steamed broccoli and salmon -- or go back to eating fried chicken every day." Friends and family often are the biggest stumbling blocks to living a healthful lifestyle."There's an internal battle between being healthy and being accepted," Ferguson said."People are always thinking about what they'll lose by upgrading their lifestyle with nutrition and fitness. When people start to eat healthfully, and all their friends and family continue to eat unhealthfully, they feel like they stand out." But Ferguson believes that when healthful efforts are viewed as a lifestyle change rather than as a diet, individuals will become self-reliant and empowered -- and therefore experience long-term success. They also will set positive examples for those closest to them. "I want to open eyes and minds to show that life can be lived and experienced differently without the word DIET," Ferguson said ~ dietfreelife.com© 2023 All Rights Reserved© 2023 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAudSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23ba

ESPN, HBO, CNN, ABC-TV, E, FOX News, Good Morning America It takes an Intense Passion & Enthusiasm to achieve Success in your Business, Fitness & Lifestyle Goals. My guest is Entreprener, Celebrity Nutritionist & Fitness Specialist ~ Robert Ferguson, MS, CN. Healthful living and lifestyle changes work," said the author of Conquering the Munchie Monster. "What so many look for is a quick fix; but at the end of the day, they are less than successful because they don't believe they can be successful." Ferguson, who owns the company Diet Free Life, has been helping people achieve weight loss through healthful living since 1998. A former U.S. Marine, he works with both the general population and celebrities. He also is a physical conditioning and nutrition specialist for professional boxers on Showtime®, HBO®, ESPN® and "The Contender." One of Ferguson's goals is to bridge the gap within the African American community between knowing what is healthful and practicing what it knows. He conducts free live cooking demonstrations and fitness programs, and delivers motivational speeches in urban areas across the country. Ferguson teaches people how to make their favorite recipes more healthful, and he shows his clients how to incorporate good health into their existing lifestyles with diet and fitness plans customized to meet each person's needs. "There is a misconception that healthful living is boring, bland and difficult to maintain. But it really can be enjoyable, fun and easy," he said. "Many people who want to be healthy feel like they have to walk away from their cultural identities," he added. "They have an all-or-nothing mindset: either eat bland and boring -- steamed broccoli and salmon -- or go back to eating fried chicken every day." Friends and family often are the biggest stumbling blocks to living a healthful lifestyle. "There's an internal battle between being healthy and being accepted," Ferguson said. "People are always thinking about what they'll lose by upgrading their lifestyle with nutrition and fitness. When people start to eat healthfully, and all their friends and family continue to eat unhealthfully, they feel like they stand out." But Ferguson believes that when healthful efforts are viewed as a lifestyle change rather than as a diet, individuals will become self-reliant and empowered -- and therefore experience long-term success. They also will set positive examples for those closest to them. "I want to open eyes and minds to show that life can be lived and experienced differently without the word DIET," Ferguson said. ~ DietFreeLife.com © 2020 All Rights Reserved © 2020 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!

Current nutrition science makes it clear that weight gain and weight loss is not solely about calories in, and calories out. The leading culprit for why people gain weight and how you can lose it faster is how you eat your carbohydrates. In this show Robert Ferguson (CEO and founder of Diet Free Life) shares how you can eat any type of carb in combination to maximize your metabolism, optimize blood sugar and lose weight without ever giving up the foods you love!

In this radio show, Robert Ferguson sheds light on scientific data that demonstrates clearly that even when total calories consumed is the same - some people lose weight best when they're eating more or less carbohydrate and fat calories. In two studies referenced in this show, it will become clear that one weight loss program (i.e., low carb, low fat) is not ideal for everyone.

Have you ever heard that supplementing with Folic Acid is a good thing? Women who are pregnant or might become pregnant take folic acid to prevent miscarriage and “neural tube defects,” birth defects such as spina bifida that occur when the fetus’s spine and back don’t close during development. Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin that is also used for preventing and treating low blood levels of folic acid as well as conditions like liver disease, alcoholism and kidney dialysis. Folic acid has can be used for many things, but don’t rush out and start supplementing with it. Here’s the deal: since 1998, Folic Acid has been added to cold cereals, flour, breads, pasta, bakery items, cookies, and crackers, as required by federal law. Then you have foods that are naturally high in folic acid which include leafy vegetables (such as spinach, broccoli, and lettuce), okra, asparagus, fruits (such as bananas, melons, and lemons) beans, yeast, mushrooms, orange juice, and tomato juice. The recommended amount of Folic Acid each day is 400 mcg. But if you’re consuming products that are fortified with Folic Acid, you may be consuming too much, which could cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, rash, sleep disorders, irritability, confusion, nausea, stomach upset, behavior changes, skin reactions, seizures, gas, excitability, and other side effects. There is some concern that taking too much folic acid can increase the risk of heart attack in people who have heart problems. Other research suggests that taking these high doses might also increase the risk of cancer such as lung or prostate cancer. It’s unfortunate, but if you’re taking a multivitamin that has Folic Acid – STOP. This is one of many reasons to take our Diet Free Daily multivitamin. We specifically formulated our Diet Free Daily without Folic Acid, but packed with the key vitamins and ingredients that fills nutritional gaps and acts as a fat accelerator.

DID YOU KNOW that love begins in the kitchen! Here is how nutrition relates and supports our relationships and how we can get active together. Getting on the same page as it pertains to what’s cooked and eaten in the home empowers a relationship between husband and wife. Cooking one meal versus two or three helps to reduce stress in the home and this reduces conflict around food and reinforces love in the kitchen and household. There’s research and studies that families who dine together eat more vegetables and fruits than those who rarely or never dine together. There’s a study that suggests kids that eat with their families most days are less likely to be overweight. SO, make the time to unify and come together as a family weekly and enjoy a fat burning meal. Join our free community at www.MyDietFreeLife.com

If you could burn an extra 17,000 calories, which equates to losing about five pounds by simply drinking 3 eight-ounce bottles of water – would you do it? If you could reduce the feeling of being bloated by drinking more water, water you do it? If you could put an extra $100 into your bank account and be 10 pounds lighter by the end of the year without exercising, would you do it? Studies and nutrition science says you can get these results by simply drinking an adequate amount of water. The question is, “What’s an adequate amount of water?” It’s simple: drink enough water so that your urine is closer to clear opposed to dark yellow. Join our free community at www.MyDietFreeLife.com

There’s new research claiming Tequila Plant Could Aid Diabetics. Researchers announced at a meeting of the American Chemical Society that a sweetener derived from agave could lower blood glucose levels in diabetics and help them and those who are obese lose weight. Here's the deal: agave is primarily made up of FRUCTOSE which does not convert to sugar in your blood so of course diabetics could benefit. Agave which is highest in fructose is metabolized primarily by the liver and when consumed in excess you are more likely to experience a rise in triglycerides and body fat.

You’re probably thinking: Did they need a study to confirm this. The answer is YES! Many people think exercise is king and others will argue that nutrition is most important when you want to lose weight. Here’s the deal: they’re both equally important as well as your mindset.

There is a new study that demonstrates that fast food is not the culprit for weight gain, but more about how we eat it. The next time you step into a fast food restaurant and you are on a mission to lose weight or you definitely are not looking to gain it.
