Karen is 65 years old and has tried justabout every diet you can think of – The Scarsdale Diet, Atkins and keto diets, Weight Watchers, Noom, the Cabbage Soup, Healthy Inspirations, grapefruit diet, Whole30, Slim-Fast, South Beach, Green Smoothie Diet, Nutrisystem, hCG – if you've heard of it, Karen probably tried it!   Some of these diets brought Karen temporarysuccess, and others caused her to gain weight or slow her metabolism.  None of them were sustainable, and the weightalways crept back. One day in the summer of 2020, Karen was perusing Facebook and saw a photo of her sister-in-law, Dedra Campbell.  Karen thought Dedra had posted a “Throwback Thursday” photo, as her sister-in-law looked young, slim, and glowing.  Karen was shocked to learn the photo was recent, so she immediately called her sister-in-law to find out what she did to lose weight and seemingly age backwards.  Dedra told her the secret was IntermittentFasting brought up negative thoughts and feelings in Karen.  In Karen's mind, fasting = deprivation and hunger.  However, with her sister-in-law's encouragement, she listened to the basics of the program and bought the book she recommended, “Fast.Feast.Repeat.” by Gin Stephens.  Karen read the book and said she would try it for one day to see how it went.  On August 13, 2020, Karen did a clean 18/6 fast, found it to be effortless, and the rest, as they say, is history.  Karen was invited to Graeme's group, The Fasting Highway, by Dedra after another IF guru closed her Facebook group and moved to another platform.  Karen had been fasting for not quite a year when she joined The Fasting Highway.  Karen had only lost 10 pounds by this time, but was encouraged and inspired by Graeme, his book, and fellow group members to stay the course and trust the process. Karen realised that her weight loss journey was her own, and she could not compare herself to others. Karen is 5'5” and her highest weight ever was 208 pounds.  She could not bend over to tie her shoes at that weight and was always out of breath.  She also suffered from sleep apnea.  Karen's IF starting weight was 175.4 pounds, and she set her goal weight at 160 pounds (because she didn't think that at herage, being post-menopausal, having T2D, and being insulin resistant, she could get below that weight).  However,on July 3, 2023, Karen weighed 149 pounds, a weight she hadn't seen in almost 20 years.  Best thing – there wasno struggle to get there!  Yes, it did take almost 3 years to lose the weight, but the point is – she lost it withintermittent fasting when nothing else worked! It's now been almost 5 years since Karen started intermittent fasting, and her current weight is 142 pounds.  She sometimes gets as low as 138 pounds, bouncing between that number and 142 pounds.  Karen went from a size 12 (US) to wearing sizes 4 and 6.  Intermittent fasting gave Karen theconfidence that she would never have to lose weight again – and for the first time in years, she doesn't have 5 different clothing sizes in her closet.  She donated all her “big” clothes to charity, knowing she'd never need them again.  Another personal win is that Karen decidedto embrace her greys and, as a result, cut all the hair colour out.  She would never have had theconfidence to do this at her higher weights!To join the Patreon Community.

Dear Glanbia board of directors…don't be afraid to give up what's good for what's great! Glanbia Plc (LON:GLB) is a multibillion-dollar global nutrition company that's currently comprised of three divisions that span across the B2B supply chain (i.e. Health & Nutrition and Dairy Nutrition) and branded products (Performance Nutrition). “Health & Nutrition” is a leading global ingredients solutions business, providing value added ingredient and flavor solutions to a range of attractive, high-growth end markets. In the first quarter of 2025, revenue increased by 24.9% YoY. “Dairy Nutrition” is the number one producer of American-style cheddar cheese in the U.S. market, but more importantly (for my audience) the number one producer of whey protein isolate…and provides a wide range of dairy and functional protein solutions. In the first quarter of 2025, revenue increased by 18.9%. The brands in the Glanbia Performance Nutrition portfolio include; Optimum Nutrition, BSN, think!, Isopure, Amazing Grass, and SlimFast. Glanbia Performance Nutrition had first quarter 2025 revenue that declined by 6.6% YoY, driven by a volume decrease of 5.8% and a price decrease of 0.8%. Additionally, I'll dive deeper into Glanbia Performance Nutrition geographical, sales channel, product format, and categorial performance. Optimum Nutrition, which was the initial M&A transaction in 2008 that created the GPN division, now represents 66% of the total revenue. In the last year, Optimum Nutrition generated revenue of approximately $1.2 billion. Moreover, Optimum Nutrition is the number one sports nutrition brand in the world and also the top sports nutrition brand in close to 20 different countries. As part of its group-wide transformation program announced last November, that seeks to generate annual cost savings of at least $50m by 2027, leadership noted that a GPN portfolio review to ensure focus can be placed on high-growth opportunities had determined the divesture decision on its Netherlands-based direct-to-consumer ecommerce business, Body & Fit (that was acquired in 2017), and its weight management brand SlimFast (that was acquired for $350 million in 2018). Also, if you don't follow the Irish financial news cycle, you might have missed that the activist investor Clearway Capital is back again! But this time…Clearway Capital is hoping to get support from Tirlán Co-op, which is Ireland's largest, farmer-owned agri-food and nutrition business. Also, Tirlán is the largest shareholder in Glanbia. But while I couldn't get access to the exact letter sent to Tirlán, urging it to support a plan to split up Glanbia…Clearway Capital did recently address the Glanbia board of directors at its annual general meeting, requesting the global nutrition company initiate a strategic review into potential disassembly. And just like three years ago, I'm still largely aligned with those Clearway Capital statements. But the major difference surrounds our motivation as to why we've been urging Glanbia to be split up into two (or three different businesses).

No Longer An Enemy.Book 3 in 18 parts, By FinalStand. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels."My Sister wished to know if you speak Mandarin," the brother translated for me."Hi, I'm Cáel," I greeted him. "Who are you guys?" He looked to one of the two goons holding on to me. I received a painful kidney punch. I discovered a whole new super-power. It hurt for about two seconds then nothing."I asked you a question," he repeated."No, I don't speak Mandarin," I lied so well it came across as a dour confession."Yet you know the secretive language of the Earth & Sky," he stated."Yes, I do. I have a thing for dead languages. Maybe in a few more years, I'll pick up your Mother Tongue as well," I bantered.No punishment was immediately meted out, so I suspected no one close to me, besides him, spoke much if any English. Jian Bob (my new name for him) didn't relay my insult. I wasn't worth it. He went straight for the reason for our get-together."You are going to die, Mr. Nyilas. That is a given," J B began."We both know you have done enough damage to our cause to be worthy of elimination a hundred times over. I'm going to show you respect by not lying to you about your possible fate. What you can do is save your young companion. We understand you two are close," he appealed in a very polite manner. Aya snickered."Cáel, these people are mentally challenged," she giggled to me, "or hideously misinformed.""I know, I know," I smiled down at Aya. "Still, they have gone through a great deal of effort to insult our intellect today, so let's humor them a little longer." Jian Bob issued several casual orders.In short order, a third man had hold of me by the jaw with one hand while trying to hold my eyelids open with the other. One guard held her by the shoulders. A second held her right hand, extending her ring finger. A third man held a knife to her top knuckle. A forth stood close with a small blowtorch."She may be a small person, Mr. Nyilas, but she can still die by the Death of a Thousand cuts," he explained."I love you, Aya," I told her softly."I love you too, Fehér mén," she succeeding in keeping most of the fear from her voice.Neither one of us could stop this. Aya certainly didn't expect me to compromise the Host for her benefit. She was as much an Amazon as the first Epona."First, I wish to know what alerted you to the attack at the Summer Camp," Bob began the interrogation."We know you were responsible. We want to know what happened." I looked into his eyes and waited patiently. He nodded to the guard, who shoved my face toward Aya's extended finger until I was less than a foot away."Do it." The Order came in Mandarin.The guard cut the top part of the digit off, one knuckle. I looked at the flesh and bone being cut away. In a clinical manner, I noted how sharp the blade was. I saw the blood shoot forth and heard Aya's little voice cry out in pain. I was pulled back and pointed at Jian Bob again."Do I need to repeat the question for you?" he said."No, I caught it the first time," I grimaced. "It tells me that you haven't the slightest idea who you are fucking with." Bob made a slight hand gesture and the blowtorch cauterized Aya's stump. Her little lungs belted out a terrible screech that wound down as her feet gave out and she hung limply in the guard's grip."Revive her." The blowtorch guy, clearly not his first day on the job, snapped some smelling salts under her noise. Aya revived, sobbing and in a great deal of pain."Cáel," she whimpered. "I have found my stillness. I'll be okay now." Her sobs subsided."Shall we try this again?" J B remained coolly polite, almost urbane."Nah," I joked, "we are both pretty good over here.""Again." The Mandarin order came. Off went another digit of her ring finger. This time her scream was much more exuberant and forceful. We all know it hurt like Hell, but the world had turned."He's going to kill all of you," Aya snickered while she sobbed. "You are all going to die.""Mu, what is the little girl saying?" she asked Jian Bob, real name Mu."She is stating her belief that Cáel will somehow kill us all," he and his sister shared the joke. "Let us see what her tune is when they start in on her left hand," the woman smiled at her sibling.That implied they'd cut off her right thumb and fingers, digit by digit, until one, or both of us cracked. The man nodded and Aya's nub was burned again. Her scream was more of a cleansing shout."Cáel, do you think I will have a nice horse to ride when I join Epona's herds, or will I get a pony?" Aya whimpered."Not a clue," I began before Mu had the face-hugging guard apply a finger strike to my solar plexus. Alal's gift had allowed me to partially organize my brain functions. Coping with pain was a whole lot easier now, but I had to be careful to monitor it because pain was Nature's way of letting you know that there was something wrong with your body."What color would you like me to pick up and have waiting for you," punch, "when you finally take yourself to the cliffs?""Again.""This is accomplishing nothing," the senior bald Mo Fo grumbled. "He clearly cares nothing for the child and has been trained in counter-interrogation techniques.""There is nothing to indicate that," Mu bristled."Xiàsh, burn the tip of his left forefinger," senior necromancer commanded. The guy holding my face coordinated with the men holding my arms to free me of my bonds and wrestle my left arm forward. I didn't bother resisting.It didn't take the commandoes long to figure I had stopped caring. On came the flame and the pain. Oh, I screamed. The pain was real. What had changed was my ability to shuffle it off to an isolated memory file to be tackled later. The bald creep stepped into my field of vision. His eyes were windows to the abyss. My "spirit" sight opened my eyes to the truly inhuman sections of his mind and soul."See, normal techniques will not be affective. We will do it, " and they realized the enormity of their mistake by assuming I was paralyzed by the pain. I broke free of the guy on my left and began twisting around the guy on my right. I wasn't getting away, I was going for his QCW O5. I knew their favorite martial arts styles and their weaponry now.The guy I was rolling behind realized what I was doing (going for his gun), but mistook my intentions. I wasn't trying to get away, or steal the gun (still strapped to his body). That cockhead even helped me out by lurching ground-ward. I swung the gun up, hit the selector and fired two quick bursts.The first three rounds hit Mr. Blowtorch in his right thigh, shredding it. The second burst caught Mr. Knife guy in the crotch, a triple 21mm castration. Had Blowtorch Guy not been busy trying to keep the strands of his right hip connected to his right leg, he could have stopped the blood fountaining from his buddies shattered groin. That was the end of my joy.I was born to the ground and the guy whose gun I'd borrowed pulled away. I hit the concrete surface hard. That was only the beginning of my issues. Radiating from the floor was cold beyond cold. I had the sensation of falling into the heart of a cold, dead star. How I even knew what the felt like was an impossibility."He feels very cold," protested one of the two guards, in Mandarin; pulling me back to my feet groused."If your incompetence has led to his terminal condition," the male twin threatened. I felt the approach of the female twin, her reaching for me. A new intense pain seared me to the cores of my bones. Before she yanked my hair up, my body reignited.I found myself stared into her pitiless eyes that regarded me with the casual callousness of a veterinarian preparing to put down some rabid stray dog. She ran three fingers over my cheek."What are you babbling about?" she snapped at the two commandoes. "If anything, he is feverish.""Zhen, have him sedated," Chief Necromancer demanded. "Mu, now we will do this my way." Once more I was bound. Someone stabbed a needle into my right triceps. That was a mere discomfort. If I had any consolation, it was hearing Mu ordering the execution of the two men I'd shot.They didn't have the time and facilities to tend to their immediate emergency needs and taking them to a trauma center wasn't going to happen. Those two went into body bags. I had to assume they would be joining us on the plane, though they'd be in the cargo compartment."What are you smiling at?" I heard Zhen snapping before my world collapsed down to a pinhole of light."Lady, I don't know what you said," Aya declared happily. "You are probably angry that Cáel has already killed two of you and we haven't even got off the ground yet." I heard a sound I couldn't make out followed by another and finally a third. That resulted in an Aya-squeak. Ah, she'd tried to hit Aya and Aya had dodged the first two blows. Good girl."Cáel isn't going to like you doing that," Aya chirped."Aya's a winner," I mumbled. I wasn't in control of my senses when they dragged me onto a waiting jet. I wasn't worried. With Aya at my side, I was invincible.DreamingI looked at her face, so youthful, beautiful in her own way, yet far from innocent. She bore a terrible weight. The armor she was wearing, that of a heavy horseman of the steppe, was a leather coat, chain links over her vulnerable regions (throat, underarms and skirt), with the rest being covered by darkened bronze plates.Her iron helmet was open-faced with mobile plates covering her cheeks as well as the sides and the back of her neck; it bore a white horse-hair plume, it was the only feature of her panoply that would draw any special attention her way. She carried no shield. Instead, she wielded a powerful horn & sinew composite recurve bow. She used her knees to rise up on her mount and fire over the mare's head.Similarly attired women rode close to either side of this young woman. Both were older; one in her early forties and the other ~ late thirties. The one to the left bore a lance, not in the couched fashion most people today are familiar with, but used in a double-handed over-head fighting style.The woman to the right fought with a strange blade. It wasn't saber ~ an ancestor of that blade perhaps. It was about a meter long, no hand guard, single-edged except for the top 4 cm on the back side which was equally sharp. Her left hand remained free. I think I saw her purpose. If the young woman got into difficulty, her guardian on the right could pull her horse away and lead the woman to safety.Behind and beside those three rode perhaps three hundred of their sisters. Those in the center were as heavily armored as those three. On each flank were the lighter, faster bow-women, on smaller steeds. The women in the center rode larger mounts that were good for carrying weight and pushing home a charge, while the flanking steppe ponies were virtually tireless.In the center, identified only by her long golden-mane helm, was the Golden Mare ~ War Leader of the Host. The Amazons didn't fly pennants or carry banners. They judged the course of battle by that woman's head movements (the mane was quite long) and the shrill horn blasts unique to the Amazons.Let the barbarians have the all too common deep booming horns calls and their totems raised high for the world to see. Let the Romans keep their trumpets and Legion standards. Amazons had been putting those fools in their graves from time immemorial. Right now, those horns had summoned the Host to a trot.The Hun, Attila, had tasked the Sarmatian Chieftain, under whose banner they rode, to deal with another crisis, the third this short day. Once more, they directed their horses over Catalaunian Fields. The Ostrogoth had gotten themselves into a world of trouble, those filthy, stinking Germans (why was I even thinking that way?)First the Amazons had ridden forth on Attila's right, reinforcing the allied Germanic tribes on the Right Wing in their attempt to force a wedge between Aetius' Romans and King Sangiban's Alans. They'd shown the fools the way, but the supporting Gepids cavalry was too timid and by the time they began to approach, the Golden Mare had been forced to sound 'retire'.The Roman auxiliary cavalry, though of poor quality, had plugged the gap. The Host were too few and too valuable (in their estimation) to die holding a position that their 'allies' might not rescue them from. Next, they had been directed to attack the center of the Alan cavalry line in support of the Huns.Despite the cowardice of their king, the Alans were hardy fighters and too accustomed to the style of steppe warfare that the Host practiced to be lured away from their position. Arrows were exchanged and brief, brutal skirmishes developed, but no advantage was gained. With their mounts exhausted, the Golden Mare had ordered the Host to retired to their camp to water their horses and refill their quivers.That bit of common sense and tactical wisdom placed them in their present crisis. Their Ostrogoth allies had been beating themselves against their Visigoth cousins all afternoon, charging up the same cursed slope that any sane commander would have found a way to flank. No, the Germans had failed seven times using the same plan, so they tried an eighth.Miraculously, they had gained a toehold on the ridgeline and killed the Visigothic King. Like a mob of mindless farmers, the Ostrogoths stopped to celebrate their 'victory' and taunt the Visigoths with the mutilated body of their fallen leader. The Visigoths had been properly incensed and counter-attacked. That's what Princes were for, to avenge their fallen Sires.As the Host exited the Hunnic laager, they'd seen the calamity unfold. The wavering Visigoth infantry had stiffened their line. Believing the Ostrogoths would press forward, the Horse-tail banner of Attila himself broke away from the central Hunnic body, pivoted to his left and thundered into the Visigoth's exposed flank.In the din of battle, it may have looked to the Great Warlord that he had a vanishing opportunity for victory. From the valley below, it was much clearer to the Amazons that the moment to break the Visigothic infantry had passed. The Huns were too tired; their mounts frothing from a long, hot afternoon of battle. Without a swift follow-through, the attack was doomed.At that point, headlong flight for the Amazons wasn't possible. Their long term survival hung on the Hunnic King keeping his Germanic 'allies' in line. They were still somewhere in eastern Roman Gaul, with the Rhine to ford and a land thick with perpetually vicious, blood-thirsty, crotch-scratching, flea-bitten Germanic barbarians to cross before they saw the green rolling hills of home again.No, the Golden Mare, and that young lady knew they had to do something to stem the tide of this disaster for another hour, then darkness would force the combatants to separate so they could try their hand at battle the next day. As the Golden Mare rode to the Sarmatian Chieftain, a rider came through the dust from Attila. The Visigothic cavalry had returned with a vengeance and the Ostrogoths were folding up.The Sarmatians (with their attached Amazons) were to 'somehow' repair the situation. As the Chieftain, the Golden Mare and three Sarmatian tribal leaders hastily discussed the actions. They saw the Hunnic Right, under hard pressure from the Roman attack, beginning to disintegrate. Of immediate concern was the rift opening up between the retreating Hunnic Gepids and the Hunnic horsemen holding the center.King Sangiban had finally discovered his manhood. The Alans attacked through that gap in the Hunnic lines and a rout was in the offing. The Sarmatian Leader decided he had to answer Attila's call. The Golden Mare offered to take her Amazons and whichever tribal leader volunteered first to ride with her against the Alans.She drew her sword and held it aloft then motioned the Sarmatians to look at her shadow."We will hold them off until the length of our swords double (the shadow). Then we are all on our own," she offered. There was no further discussion necessary. There was nothing else to say. The Host and their allies had the fresher horses and full quivers.The Alans had numbers but no heavy horse present, yet. The Host had answered Attila's call to war and now, nearly a year away from their homes in the forested steppe lands of modern-day Bukovina. At that moment they were wondering how few of them would ever see their horse herds roaming free this side of life.That was where my vision came in ~ that woman was 'Ishara', the last of my major bloodline of the first Ishara and this was the last hour of her life. The other two women were the only other two members of that vanishing bloodline. One was her aunt and the other a cousin. Despite the dire peril to their lineage, they joined their sisters in battle.Even though they were outnumber 2 to 1, the Amazons swept aside the first burst of Alans, scattering their bands and hunting the slowest of them down. Rushing alone to fill the gaping hole in the main battle lines was to abandon all tactical sense. Eighty Amazon heavy horse and perhaps twenty more Sarmatians ~ they were integrated now ~ alone simply weren't enough.For the roughly 300 lightly armored horse-archers, it would be a pointless suicide and that was not the Amazon way. Instead, they scattered the initial Alan rush then gently trotted back down the slope. Of course, the Alans regrouped and followed. It was the battle pulse of steppe skirmishing.By simply existing, they turned the rushing wave of that first Alan charge into a slowly strengthening tide. The Alans' mounts were tired and in need of water. Their quivers were nearly empty and some were seen at the top of the slope looting the quivers of the fallen. Whenever they could, the Amazons killed those clever souls.Killing an archer closer to you who only had two arrows left wasn't as economical as killing the one who was both dismounted, thus an easier shot, and about to have fifteen bolts to use against you. Without the constant harassment, the Gepids were able to keep their retreat orderly. In turn, the other Germanics farther to the right kept their mobs relatively intact as well.Their success earned them the inevitable enemy reaction. From his vantage point, the Roman Aetius saw the vulnerable and unsupported position the Amazons held. If he could push past the Amazon screen, he could still achieve a route instead of accepting a mere victory for his side. The solution was a force of

It was basically six years ago when I asked Glanbia to consider something completely foreign to their longstanding business culture, but today's the day my dreams became reality (well sort of)! Glanbia Performance Nutrition is one of two divisions of Glanbia plc (LON:GLB), a multibillion-dollar global nutrition company. The brands in the Glanbia Performance Nutrition portfolio include; Optimum Nutrition, BSN, think!, Isopure, Amazing Grass, and SlimFast. I'll use the recent earnings report, earnings call, and associated news to update you on how Glanbia Nutritionals and Glanbia Performance Nutrition is performing against the complex operating environment. Glanbia Performance Nutrition had full-year 2024 revenue of $1.81 billion, which increased 0.5% YoY. The brand portfolio had volume growth of 2.9%, but that was more than offset by price decline of 4.2% YoY. Additionally, I'll dive deeper into Glanbia Performance Nutrition geographical, sales channel, product format, and categorial performance (performance nutrition, healthy lifestyle, and weight management). Optimum Nutrition, which was the initial M&A transaction in 2008 that created the GPN division, now represents 66% of the total revenue. In 2024, Optimum Nutrition generated revenue of approximately $1.2 billion, which was up 7.5% YoY. Moreover, Optimum Nutrition is the number one sports nutrition brand in the world and also the top sports nutrition brand in close to 20 different countries. As part of its group-wide transformation program announced last November, that seeks to generate annual cost savings of at least $50m by 2027, leadership noted that a GPN portfolio review to ensure focus can be placed on high-growth opportunities had determined the divesture decision on its Netherlands-based direct-to-consumer ecommerce business, Body & Fit (that was acquired in 2017), and its weight management brand SlimFast (that was acquired for $350 million in 2018). And then in this final part of the content, I want to share some comments about how Glanbia intends to navigate the current volatility in the high-end whey market. Glanbia expects a $200 million transitory impact from this cycle of sharp commodity market inflation, which it plans to mitigate by pulling a variety of different front-facing and back-end levers. These include substantial price increases (that will trickle down to consumers later this year), shifts in price pack architecture, reformulation of products, and trade promotion efficiency (and pullback in overall marketing spend). Additionally, Glanbia leadership even noted that long-term investments in alternative protein sources are being considered (which maybe even includes a takeover of the embroiled precision fermentation startup Perfect Day that I suggested Glanbia acquire several years ago).

Rebecca Tushnet discusses the potential explores the implications of misleading advertisements, particularly concerning pregnancy clinics. Even true statements can be disparaging if they mislead consumers. Cases like the California lawsuit questioning the use of "Dr." titles. Tushnet examines when products like milk can be labeled as such and scrutinizes claims like "clinically proven" by SlimFast. She also addresses dark patterns, deceptive tactics affecting user behaviour, and the FTC's enforcement of these laws.

Is the future of convenient nutrition centered around human fuel? Bombarded with tons of complicated information about what they should and shouldn't eat/drink, busy health-conscious consumers are searching for nutrition simplicity. In fact, U.S. and UK consumers are spending (on average) half as much time preparing food as the previous generation…which is increasing interest (and demand) for high-protein convenient nutrition products. And this makes sense…especially when you consider that protein has become a kind of "holy water" that instantly anoints any food or beverage with a health halo. While the focus on high protein diets started in those shadowy niches of sports nutrition and weight management, there's now increasingly diverse consumer cohorts that possess a heightened awareness around the value of this essential macronutrient. So, fitness enthusiasts, health-conscious individuals, and consumers simply looking for a convenient/filling/nutritious meal (or snack), each are focused on getting the right amount of protein based on their activity level, fitness goals, and individual characteristics. And it's that demographic diversity, being interested in protein for different reasons, that's making it a battleground category as high-protein claims proliferate across the entire grocery store. But while that market expansion can be great…it also means the “one-size-fits-all” targeted consumer strategic marketing (and product) approach has become obsolete. Yet…to the credit of HUEL, they've continued to show this almost sixth sense ability to evolve (whether that's through sales channel expansion, product innovation, or marketing communications), appealing to an increasingly wider range of healthy lifestyle consumers with varied protein needs throughout the day. And this is an underlying reason why I believe HUEL will continue growing global market share…as the brand has begun showing its ability to appeal to a broad range of convenient nutrition consumer need states. While I believe it primarily competes in the everyday nutrition need state, HUEL also has developed brand equity and appealing product value propositions to sports nutrition, adult nutrition, and weight management consumers. But speaking of weight management, “food fit for the future” will also need to understand what role it plays within the “Age of Ozempic.” We're likely entering into a golden age of therapeutics. So, what happens when more effective biologics targeted towards weight loss get approved? The second order effects will usher in a whole new era of CPG industry winners and losers. The good news is that the core HUEL “complete food” meal products have flipped the historical messaging around meal replacements from this negative “restriction diet” focus into this positive, proactive convenient food focus. That reframing strategy seems so simple, but Atkins, Slim Fast, Weight Watchers, and others haven't been able to pull it off yet. That makes it likely that HUEL has already positioned itself on the right side of the “friend or foe” GLP-1 weight loss drug threat. And then for this final section of the content, I'll quickly readdress the HUEL exit event optionality “elephant in the room” because A LOT has changed since those initial reports first surfaced in late-2021 that HUEL could be exploring an IPO.

Did a recent human capital move finally signal that Glanbia Performance Nutrition intends to transform into a “functional beverage powerhouse” long-term that I've been talking about for the last few years? Glanbia Performance Nutrition is one of two divisions of Glanbia plc (LON:GLB), a multibillion-dollar global nutrition company. The brands in the Glanbia Performance Nutrition portfolio include; Optimum Nutrition, BSN, think!, Isopure, Amazing Grass, and SlimFast. I'll use the recent earnings report, earnings call, and associated news to update you on how Glanbia Nutritionals and Glanbia Performance Nutrition is performing against the complex operating environment. Glanbia Performance Nutrition had 2024 first nine month of 2024 revenue growth of 1.7% YoY. The brand portfolio had volume growth of 3.2%, but that was more than offset by price decline of 4% YoY. Additionally, I'll dive deeper into Glanbia Performance Nutrition geographical and product categorial performance (performance nutrition, healthy lifestyle, and weight management). BTW I'm thinking about the creation of a change.org petition for the Glanbia Performance Nutrition division name to be amended to The Optimum Nutrition Company. This one brand alone now accounts for 65% of the total GPN revenue. In first nine months of 2024, Optimum Nutrition had 6.4% YoY growth coming from strong volume gains, but U.S. market retail consumption growth in tracked channels was up 1.1% over the recent 13-week period. Additionally, Optimum Nutrition generated over $1.1 billion in revenue last year...which makes it the number one sports nutrition brand in the world and also the top sports nutrition brand in 18 different countries. Finally, I talk through why I think the recent hiring of GPN Americas President and an announced Glanbia group transformation program sounds like the perfect opportunity to strategically align around GPN becoming a “functional beverage powerhouse” long-term. The RTD beverage format accounts for about 8% of the total GPN revenue…and that basically $150 million in 2024 revenue comes from four main products (across three different GPN brands). Yet, all of the focus will likely be placed on the Optimum Nutrition and ISOPURE protein beverages that have underperformed compared to market leaders like Premier Protein.

Slimfast gets you caught up on all the news of the day

Is your weight loss method sustainable?  Sustainable weight loss requires REALISTIC methods of healthy eating and exercise habits that you can maintain over time. It's not about following a specific diet or program for a short period of time, but rather making changes that you can incorporate into your everyday life.  If you are using a specific program or product that should happen to go off the market, will you be abe to MAINTAIN the results you achieved from that program or product?    My motto is always, is is sustainable, maintainable and can you keep your sanity!!!??? Some of these programs will give you those fast results in an unrealistic and unhealthy way and then when you “go off” the program, there is weight gain over time. We seem to have a pattern of blaming ourselves when this happens. Let me tell you right now, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!  SO how do you know if you are doing something that is sustainable? Let's dive into that.   ************************** MENTIONS: In this episode I mentioned a few pervious podcasts and live videos I have done in the past:    Dying to be Thin   How Being a Beachbody Coach and Working at A Gym Destroyed Me   ***************************************************** Self-Paced COURSE!! 75% OFF SPECIAL: CIRNA METHOD PROGRAM: https://bit.ly/4ccR5nj **************************************************** Let's connect:   Book a FREE Weight Loss Breakthrough call @http://bit.ly/2E48dOh   Join Our FREE FB Support Group @https://www.facebook.com/groups/574339769435340   *************************** FREE STUFF!!    Get your FREE copy ot the 7 Secrets the Diet Industry is Hiding From You @ https://bit.ly/2ZXn6QF     Get your FREE copy of The Metabolism Cheat Sheet @https://bit.ly/3if0tgO   **************************   FOLLOW ME:   Be sure to subscribe to my Podcast on iTunes @ Create Your Balance    Check out my website @ https://www.melaniesobo.com/    See behind the scenes on Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/melanie2875/?hl=en    Check out my Pins @  https://www.pinterest.com/MSobocinskiFit/pins/

He may be nicknamed “The Beverage Whisperer,” but when Ken Sadowsky speaks he's heard loud and clear.  A longtime industry advisor and investor, Ken is one of the most respected and influential voices in the beverage business. Ken is currently the executive director of The Northeastern Independent Distributors Association, known as NIDA, a group of wholesalers that operate in states from Maine to Pennsylvania. He's also a senior advisor with Verlivest, the Belgium-based investment holding company founded by the owners of Anheuser-Busch InBev, which holds stakes in Oatly, Vita Coco and Hint Water. Ken is personally invested in and an advisor to several beverage companies including LifeAid, Icelandic Glacial, Recess and Dyla Brands.  This episode is the third of a trilogy with Ken, who also joined us for conversations in 2016 and 2019. Ken and Taste Radio editor Ray Latif sample drinks representing fast-growing, bleeding-edge and established categories, including better-for-you sodas, cannabis libations, nonalcoholic cocktails, and shots of the juice variety. As they sip their way through a mish-mash of beverages, Ken shares his perspective on trendy concepts, package design, formulation his investment thesis, and successful retail strategies. Show notes: 0:35: Ken Sadowsky, The Beverage Whisperer – Ken and Ray engage in some Sox talk before they dive into a mass of beverages, foreign and domestic. Ken talks about cutting his teeth back in 1983 and his ability to understand what brands have what it takes to go from “the core consumer to the more consumer” and why he's not bullish on non-nutritive sugar alternatives. They sip on some Chamberlain Coffee and chat about how the cold brew coffee category has morphed and whether non-alcoholic cocktails are – at this point – more sizzle than steak. Ken also explains why he's a fan of entrepreneurs with industry experience and why it's important to be nice to your distributors, before sipping on Olipop's limited-edition Barbie collaboration and sharing his take on the future of better-for-you sodas. He also admits to being an “illegal cannabis consumer” (not really), why you should sample beverages warm, getting retailers to merchandise your brand in two locations and the Catch-22 of fundraising. Brands in this episode: Mountain Dew, Chamberlain Coffee, Throne Sport Coffee, Vitaminwater, De Soi, Little Saints, Lapo's, Seedlip, Parch, Honest Tea, Prime, Alani Nu, Olipop, Slim Fast, Poppi, Evolution Fresh, Nantucket Nectars, Nixie, Late July, Cape Cod Potato Chips, Milonga, Recess, Magic Cactus, Alldae, Guayaki, Yerbae, Louie Louie, Fhirst, Wunderground's Brain Wash, Califia Farms, Starbucks, Loom, The Turmeric Co., Icelandic Glacial

We've been trying to get Dr. Morgan from the University of New Haven on the podcast for a long time but he's a busy man. When he's not lecturing, he's regularly testifying in court or filming one of his numerous tv appearances. Dr. Morgan worked for the CIA, he's an expert on brain-computer interfaces (BCI), he's an expert on PTSD, an expert on personality disorders, an expert on human memory, an expert on psychopathy, and he's a forensic psychiatrist!  Dr Morgan is often featured in programs on ID (Investigation Discovery) and has been featured on ID and MAX's series Signs of a Psychopath for several seasons. This is an interview Slim has been wanting to do for more than year, so when Dr Morgan finally had some time to talk, Slim raced to the studio and got things started while Lazlo headed in. We had so many questions for Dr. Morgan; Why does Slim cry at Ozempic girls while you're lucky to get a tear from Lazlo at a funeral? Is there a difference between a Sociopath and a Psychopath? Can psychopaths make good friends? Is my ex really a narcissist? Is human memory ever reliable? Most importantly, when is ID going to give you your own show? Slim is willing to start the letter writing campaign if need be.  Check out Dr. Morgan's cred sheet!

Glanbia Performance Nutrition had 2024 first half revenue of $882.1 million, which was down 0.8% YoY. The brand portfolio had volume growth of 3.1%, but that was more than offset by price decline of 3.9% YoY. Additionally, I'll dive deeper into Glanbia Performance Nutrition geographical and product categorial performance (performance nutrition, healthy lifestyle, and weight management). BTW I'm thinking about the creation of a change.org petition for the Glanbia Performance Nutrition division name to be amended to The Optimum Nutrition Company. This one brand alone now accounts for 65% of the total GPN revenue. In 2024 H1, Optimum Nutrition had 7.7% YoY growth coming from strong volume gains, but U.S. market retail consumption growth in tracked channels was basically flat over the 13-week period ending July 14, 2024. Additionally, Optimum Nutrition generated over $1.1 billion in revenue last year...which makes it the number one sports nutrition brand in the world and also the top sports nutrition brand in 18 different countries. I also update you on the GPN revenue breakdowns (and trends) by sales channel and product format. Finally, I talk through a collection of hot takes or things I'm left pondering about Glanbia at this current time. These include the full reasoning behind poor performance of RTD beverages and snacking formats at GPN (beyond the poor performance of SlimFast), slight (but impactful) design changes made to Optimum Nutrition packaging, and my updated outlook on dry whey and cocoa commodity pricing.

据说中国人对于甜品目前的最高评价，基本还停留在“不甜”的层次。从这个角度来说，诞生于美国的Ben&Jerry's，属于那种会让家长十分警惕的冰激凌。它厚重、料足、甜度十足，在超市里出售的最小规格，是接近500克的小桶装，堪称是幸福的一击。但Ben&Jerry's这个公司的价值，绝不仅限于优质的产品。它与我们曾经在节目中聊过的Patagonia有很多相似之处，尤其是在社会责任方面。他们都愿意将公司和产品作为对抗主流的工具和武器，并且从始至终都在试图贯彻这一点。不同于一直是独立公司的Patagonia，Ben&Jerry's上过市、后来还并入了跨国巨头联合利华的伞下。联合利华为了拿下这个独特的品牌，甚至也设计了一套同样独特的治理结构，以保证Ben&Jerry's能够继续自己的品牌使命。但也正是这套制度设计，让Ben&Jerry's与联合利华一度在国际政治问题上“擦枪走火”，直至将后者告上法庭。本期节目，我们就来介绍这个不只做冰激凌的冰激凌品牌。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |00:34 剥离冰激凌业务，联合利华变身忒修斯之船06:49 诞生于美国1970年代反文化浪潮的Ben&Jerry's10:43 既是谐音梗、也是政治口号的产品名称20:11 专为守护公司使命理念而建的外部董事会27:38 巴以问题立场分歧让子公司怒告母公司30:26 相互嵌套的商业道德和公司治理问题| 延伸资料 |Ben & Jerry's: The Inside ScoopNytimes Magazine-Ben & Jerry's Radical Ice Cream Dreams《文化战略》Vol.83 环保之外的PatagoniaHBS-Ben&Jerry's: Preserving Mission and Brand Within UnileverWSJ-Unilever Buys Ben & Jerry's, SlimFast for Over $2.5 BillionWSJ-Ben & Jerry's Manages to Protect Mission Within UnileverQuartz-A brief history of Ben & Jerry's political ice cream flavorsHow Ben & Jerry's Got Bought Out Without Selling OutVol.62 “毒丸计划”有多毒？Bloomberg-Ben & Jerry's GMO Food FightThe Atlantic-Ben & Jerry's Is Fighting GMOs, for Some ReasonThe Journal-Why Ben & Jerry's Is Suing its Parent Company Over IsraelBloomberg-How Ben & Jerry's Ended Up at War With ItselfBloomberg-Unilever Ice Cream Sale Won't Change Us, Says Ben & Jerry's《商业就是这样》鼓起勇气开设听友群啦。欢迎添加节目同名微信，加入听友群，一起讨论有意思的商业现象。微信号：thatisbiz为了营造更好的讨论环境，我们准备了两个小问题，请在添加微信后回答：1，你最喜欢《商业就是这样》的哪期节目？为什么？2，你希望听到《商业就是这样》聊哪个话题？期待与你交流！| 后期制作 |刘大哭| 声音设计 |刘三菜| 收听方式 |你可以通过小宇宙、苹果播客、Spotify、喜马拉雅、网易云音乐、QQ音乐、荔枝、豆瓣等平台收听节目。| 认识我们 |微信公众号：第一财经YiMagazine联系我们：thatisbiz@yicai.com

Maybe it wasn't the most impressive first official reporting period for Glanbia's new CEO…though it's not always about how you start that's important, but how you finish, right? Glanbia Performance Nutrition is one of two wholly-owned segments of Glanbia plc (LON:GLB), a multibillion-dollar global nutrition company. The brands in the Glanbia Performance Nutrition portfolio include; Optimum Nutrition, BSN, think!, Isopure, Amazing Grass, and SlimFast. I'll use the recent earnings report, earnings call, and associated news to update you on how Glanbia Nutritionals and Glanbia Performance Nutrition is performing against the complex operating environment. Glanbia Performance Nutrition had 2024 first quarter revenue that decreased 1.9% compared to last year. The brand portfolio had volume growth of 1.4%, but that was more than offset by price decline of 3.3% YoY. Additionally, I'll dive deeper into Glanbia Performance Nutrition geographical and product categorial performance (performance nutrition, healthy lifestyle, and weight management). BTW I'm thinking about the creation of a change.org petition for the Glanbia Performance Nutrition division name to be amended to The Optimum Nutrition Company. This one brand alone now accounts for 64% of the total GPN revenue. In 2024 Q1, Optimum Nutrition had 5.6% growth coming from both pricing and volume gains…and U.S. market retail consumption growth in tracked channels was basically flat over the 13-week period ending March 23, 2024. Additionally, Optimum Nutrition generated over $1.1 billion in revenue last year...which makes it the number one sports nutrition brand in the world and also the top sports nutrition brand in 18 different countries. Finally, I talk through a collection of hot takes or things I'm left pondering about Glanbia at this current time. These include where the struggling legacy brand SlimFast sits inside of an evolving weight management category that has seen huge spikes in GLP-1 weight loss solutions (e.g. Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, etc.), think! protein bars and Girl Scouts collaboration, recent marketing strategic partnerships (McClaren F1, Spartan Race, and Sky Sports), dry whey and cocoa commodity pricing, and ISOPURE picking up momentum.

*Once again, Lazlo and Slimfast are fighting over the same handyman. Once again, Lazlo is making inappropriate comments about Slim's mom. Once again, Slim is overreacting.  *The greatest year for each rock genre. Many say that 1994 was the greatest year for alternative rock. There's plenty of evidence to prove that 1991 was the best year for grunge. There seems to be more debate about the best year for classic rock.  *Arizona governor signs a bill to repeal 1864 ban on most abortions. *The Florida Trash Bros who thought it would be cute to dump garbage into the ocean are being hunted down by authorities.

Growing up in the 90s, many of us were unwittingly steeped in a toxic diet culture. From ultra-skinny models gracing the covers of magazines to the relentless promotion of fad diets, hello cabbage soup, Atkins, Slim Fast, etc. The message was clear; thinner is better, and self-worth is tied to appearance. Fast forward to today, and we're now navigating a journey towards self-love and improved body image, unlearning the damaging beliefs of our youth and trying to set up our daughters (and sons) for a more positive and loving body image towards oneself. Here are some of my favorite accounts to follow on Social Media that I talk about in this episode - Allison Marketti, Sadie Nardini, Ashley Turner, Lauren Cadilac ( feelgooddietitian), Same Previte (find.food.freedom), Alex Light (alexlight_Idn), Victoria Browne, Callie Gullickson, Dana Mercer Ricci, Erin from rawbeautytalks, Sarah Nicole Landry (thebirdspapaya), Kylie Kelce (kykelce), Abby Langer (langernutrition) These accounts are very inclusive for everyone and very body positive. In this episode: - Self-Compassion - How to Practice self-compassion. - Speak to yourself with kindness and recognize that self-worth isn't tied to physical appearance. - I use a few affirmations daily. You are worthy, You are kind, You are strong, You are beautiful Even if on some days I am not feeling it or believe it, I always say them. There is scientific research that this can really help rewire our brain and mood. Also mentioned in this episode daily walking meditations. The ones I do are my own and Cassandra Bodzak. My two walking meditations: 17 minute my walking meditation - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fit-fun-and-frazzled/id1530819580?i=1000576103376. My 12 minute walking meditation - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fit-fun-and-frazzled/id1530819580?i=1000608163789.

This is one of our favourite episodes to date. Former GBBO finalist Laura opens up on how the 90s made her feel fat. How she's tried every diet - Special K, Cambridge, Slimfast - to date. And how she started to look in the mirror again and love herself. It's brutally honest and hugely informative for a new generation who doesn't want to hear ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'.

*Lazlo told Slimfast about a true crime show! Death by Fame. The guys are confused about the "fame" theme.  *We're just now finding out that Lazlo recently went to Red Lobster. Will he complain about it, did he buy a fruity drink, and why was he there? *Is everyone caught up on True Detective? Just like the push-up challenge, Slimfast is already trying to make his exit. *A video on Tik Tok is making the rounds. It claims to have captured an angry reaction from a woman who was asked to split the check on a first date. The guy who posted it makes his case for splitting the check, "sparking controversy".  *Scorsese now holds the record for the living director with the most Oscar nominations. Who are the all-time leaders? *Ryan Gosling was nominated for Barbie, but Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were both snubbed, which feels either ironic or fitting for Barbie. There's so much outrage, Hilary Clinton made a statement. A statement that Slimfast has a very difficult time reading. Things go downhill from there. *Trump wins New Hampshire and had some classy things to say about his opponent. Biden also won New Hampshire, even though he wasn't on the ballot.  *We have a major update to the story involving three Chiefs fans who were found dead in their friend's backyard. A fifth man has now come forward and claimed he was there. This story keeps getting weirder and more confusing. I feel terrible for the families involved. This has got to be hell.   *Thanks for listening to the podcast.

Tough weekend for Chiefs fans but we'll survive. Who was Mahomes yelling at on the sidelines at the end of the game? Different people say different things but Snowcone's done his research. *Slimfast was in Dad Mode this weekend. He said they had a great time, but that being the fun adult is expensive. *Shohei Ohtani is finally going to make more money than Lazlo. *A man in New York won $10 million on a scratch-off ticket, after doing the same thing last year. A $44 million lottery ticket in Florida in expiring after the winner never came forward. The Texas Supreme Court reversed a lower court's decision to allow a woman to have a life-saving abortion. Some people are calling for the president of Harvard to step down after remarks made about Israel during congressional testimony. Trump's lead in Iowa appears to be growing. Dogs don't live long enough and science wants to do something about it. *What is a 'parenting expert' and why are they always such buzzkills? *Thanks for listening to the podcast!

Have you ever purchased a tube of "fexting" at a truck-stop gas station? Lazlo thinks that truck-stops are safe spaces for truckers and should not be patronized by dads driving a mid-sized Lincoln crossover. *Lazlo watches mor college football than you and he can prove it. Slimfast is still trying to understand how the bowl games are decided. *Slimfast thinks Chiefs fans need to chill. Lazlo would like to remind you that Andy Reid is well aware of the team's shortcomings and doesn't need you to tweet him suggestions. *Doomscrolling!! Time's Person of the Year nominees are here. What's the deal with Canada? Meatball Ron spent the weekend trying to bribe Iowa voters. Liz Cheney doesn't think you should vote for Trump. Butt cheeks winning football games. Resource officers being dicks. *It doesn't matter how long it's been out, there are certain movies you're never allowed to spoil. *December and January are big months for streaming new shows.

Lazlo is a champion! He coached his last game this weekend and couldn't have ended on a better note. Congrats to Lazlo, his son, and the entire team! Oh, the Chiefs also beat the Dolphins in Germany this weekend and Mizzou put up a good fight against Georgia. *Slimfast and his dad went to Promise Keepers one time when he was a kid. If you're not familiar with Promise Keepers, allow us to give you a quick rundown. *Mike Johnson is the new republican speaker of the house and he's in the news today because of the way he monitors his son's phone for inappropriate material. *Doomscrolling!! America is seriously divided over the war in Palestine. Obama weighed in on the debate this weekend but did he choose a side? An antique store in Florida had a human skull on display and possibly for sale until someone pointed out that it was real. Trump testified in court today and the judge was not pleased with his behavior. Russell Brand is facing new allegations from a Jane Doe who worked with him on the set of Arthur in 2010. *Do people really poop in line at Disney? *The Chicago Blackhawks are being sued by a former player who claims he was groomed and assaulted by a coach. *A NJ school janitor has been accused of putting bodily fluids in food and cooking utensils. *Thanks for listening to the podcast.

Yo! It's been awhile since we've discussed documentaries and shows that we've watched but Lazlo will be watching nothing but sports for the next couple of months. I guess we can take the tv discussions to our subreddit www.reddit.com/r/churchoflazlo *Slimfast has found a cause he can believe in! He wants to buy (another) stripper (another) car! He sees this as our chance to give back to the community (she's in a different community) and help out a young mother in need. *What are the worst comedies of all time? What's the worst comedy that you secretly like? What's a popular comedy that you thought sucked? *Lazlo can't believe that Slim isn't a fan of Kevin Smith. This is a huge revelation in their relationship. *Doomscrolling!! We have to talk about Israel. This is a topic that will always make some people angry but we've been tight lipped for over a week now and we're all upset about a lot of the things we and see from people on the left. People who are supposed to be on our team. A man got a speeding ticket for $1.4 million and the police tell him it wasn't a typo. Are you an Airport Dad? Here's how to find out. *Snowcone smells good today. The three of us pretty much only see one another at work every day. That doesn't stop us from wanting to smell good.

Slimfast got an earful about Israel at a doctor's appointment this morning. Everyone agrees that chiropractors are real doctors and go to school long enough to earn our endless trust.

There's so much to discuss. Russell  Brand, Drew Barrymore, Lauren Boebert, and more! It's also Monday so we'll need Lazlo to give us an NFL update. *Let's start with Lauren Boebert. She went to see Beetlejuice the play and appeared to be having a great time in a video released by the theater. Vaping, laughing, singing, and a lot of groping. *Doomscrolling!! Drew Barrymore has been taking heat for trying to do her show during the strike. She's now reversed course, as have several other talk shows. Speaking of strikes, how are things going with the UAW? Russell Brand is having a bad week. Several women have come forward and made damning accusations about the comedian. *Masculine activities that men are losing interest in. *There's a trend on Tik Tok where women ask their boyfriends/husbands how often they think about Rome. Lazlo says he never thinks about it. Slimfast and Snowcone claim to think about war and world history daily but Lazlo ain't buying it. *Thanks for listening to the podcast!
