What I want you to do is let out the very first comment that pops into your head.

I will follow up tomorrow with the reasons behind today’s posting.

I’m talking about nutrition. I’m talking about the way your body feels every single day.

How do you feel every single day? Are you tired? Are you alert? Do you feel sluggish? How is your stomach? Do you get ‘the runs’ often? Is your stomach irritated by certain foods? Do you belch too much?

I’m sorry. I know I’m being a little crude here, but there are a lot of people I know who have . . . let’s say, issues. They have stomach issues and health issues. They’re overweight.

I really and truly believe that your diet is everything. I eat a really careful and clean diet. There are certain foods that don’t agree with me, so I don’t eat them.

How many of you know the foods that disagree with you, but you continue to eat them anyway? How many of you eat certain things that put you into a ‘food coma’ immediately after you eat them?

You should never go into a food coma. If you are going into a food coma, then you are eating things that don’t agree with you. You are eating foods that are not right for you and your body type.

How many of you take vitamins and herbs, and believe you have a good regimen? You take greens in the morning. Let me tell you something.

I used to have a really bad stomach. When I was a kid, my nickname was BD (and you can figure out on your own what that stood for). I’d miss half a class sometimes because I was in the bathroom. I had a really irritable stomach.

I thought I would just have that problem my whole life. I had just accepted it as the way things are.

Then I remember going to a nutritionist when I lived in Colorado, and the first thing she said to me was that this wasn’t the way things had to be. She told me I didn’t have to live that way.

So I made changes in my diet. I eliminated dairy. I started drinking greens in the morning (by mixing greens power and water). It’s really good, and your body absorbs all the nutrients that it’s probably lacking.

Once I started to do that, I started feeling better. I started eliminating certain foods that didn’t work for me, and I started to feel even better. My energy lever got better; everything got better.

How many of you are suffering physically every single day? The reason why you’re suffering is probably because your diet sucks.

You need to start looking at your diet. Let me tell you something. We have one body and one body only. You can’t trade your body in for a new one, so you have to take care of your body like it’s a majestic temple.

You have to do things that are really good for it, because as you age things start breaking down. I know that because I am aging, and things do break down. You don’t heal as quickly, you can’t run as fast, and you’re not as strong as you once were.

If you keep yourself really clean inside and if you have a really good diet, though, you can keep your body stronger and feeling good a lot longer. Eat slowly and eat small portions.

How many of you eat really quickly? You can finish a meal in five minutes or less, and you’re proud of it. If that’s you, then you are eating too fast. Your body cannot possibly break down or digest anything that goes in you when you eat too fast.

How many of you get an unbelievable sugar craving right after you eat dinner or lunch where you need to eat something sweet? That’s not normal and it’s not good. It might mean that you’re a little yeasty and that is why your body is craving that.

One of the things I think everybody should invest in is their health.

I never eat fast food. If it was the last thing in the world to eat, I still wouldn’t eat it. I would go to bed hungry that night.

I chew my food really slowly so my digestion is good. I drink a lot of water.

How many of you spend the day drinking diet soda. Diet soda could be the worse thing for you. The caffeine is brutally bad in your body, and the chemicals that make up diet soda actually can make you fatter.

You want to drink nothing but water. I don’t drink soda and I don’t drink glasses of cow pus (or milk as most people refer to it). I do this because my body likes it and my body reacts favorably to it.

So it’s time that all of you start looking at your overall health instead of just medicating whenever you have a problem. We go to the doctor, and the doctor treats the symptom but not the cause.

It’s time you got some really good help with your diet, and really took a proactive step to making yourself healthy from the inside out. It’s time to start taking better care of your body.

So how does this relate to dating? Whenever I write about anything outside the world of dating, there are always people who get their panties in a knot and email me asking how that topic relates to dating. So for all of those people, here is the answer.

If you’re not healthy, you don’t have energy and you’re eating improperly, then guess what? You’re not going to feel your best and you’re not going to want to go out and meet people. You’re also not going to feel your best sexually because you’re not going to be that energetic. There, I related it to dating.

When you have to rest you might as well channel surf and see what is on in the world of reality TV. Have any of you been watching the Biggest Loser on TV?

This story is amazing and it really shows that if you put your mind to something then you can achieve amazing results.

Starting the season at a whopping 526 pounds, Michael Ventrella was the heaviest contestant in “The Biggest Loser” history. By the finale, he had lost 50.19 percent of his body weight, a total of 264 pounds, shattering Danny Cahill’s record of 239 pounds from last year. Weighing in at just 262 pounds on Tuesday night, Ventrella easily beat fellow finalists Ashely Johnston and Daris George for the $250,000 grand prize.

Now before you check out this amazing man and how he did it in the video below. I want you for a minute to write down what is stopping you from your dreams and why you are not going after all that you deserve.

Whether its meeting the opposite sex or going after a career that you desire, what is really stopping you?

What excuses are in your head right now and why are you letting the excuses get the best of you?

This is an amazing story of will and desire!
I challenge all of you to look deep inside and find the strength to be everything you want and deserve to be!

I do, however, snore like a cartoon character. This is a new phenomenon in my life. I was never much of a snorer, but for some reason or other I’ve started to do it.

Perhaps it’s because I’ve met the woman I want to be with, so all my latent bad habits are coming out of the woodwork. Call it “domestic bliss at its worst.”

So if anyone knows a good cure for snoring besides hitting me over the head with a bag of rocks, please let me know. Well, that’s all I am going to complain about today.

Some of you, though, spend you lives complaining. As it’s Monday, I know some of you have been complaining since you woke up and got to work this morning. This leads me directly into today’s blog…

Complainers. I can almost hear the crying from you now, “Waaaaaaaaa!” So many people just complain their lives away.

“Poor me. I don’t have a good job.”
“Poor me. I don’t have a girlfriend (or boyfriend).”
“The weather is bad.”

Let me tell you something about complainers. They need to start checking themselves and reigning in all the complaining.

Also, I’m want to set up “complaining rules” which govern when and about what things people are allowed to complain. I don’t know if I need to send these rules to Obama or to Larry King. Of course, Larry never knows what he’s talking about anymore anyway.

If you’ve got a shitty driver in front of you, complain away. If you have a cold, the flu or the runs, then go ahead and complain if it makes you feel better. If you’re at Starbucks and the person making the coffee is so damn slow you believe they must have been dropped on their head at birth, then go ahead and complain. Go ahead and complain about all these things, but complain to yourself.

Really, though, don’t complain about things you can’t control and certainly don’t complain to others about them. Don’t, for example, complain about the weather. You’re not Superman, you can’t change it. If the weather is crummy for a few days, find something else to do.

My mother was a chronic weather complainer. That’s probably why I live in California where the weather is always perfect.

When it comes to things you can control, instead of complaining about things, DO something about them. Instead of complaining about your body if you’re dissatisfied with it, do something about it. Complaining is not going to get your body in better shape, and I’ve never seen the complainer’s diet or workout.

If you complain that you can’t meet someone but you never do anything about it, then guess what? You’re not going to meet someone. Stop complaining and start doing something about it.

Going back to those shitty drivers, unless you have a shotgun or a Bazooka there’s really nothing you can do about them. So complain all you want . . . to yourself.

I understand complaining when you have a cold, but again keep it to yourself. Don’t use it as a topic of conversation with others. I just love when I run into someone and ask how they are, and the response is “Lousy! I have a cold” followed by five straight minutes of complaining about it. What do I look like? A doctor? Really, do I look like I walk around with Sudafed in my pocket?

I also love when I’m in line at Starbucks and people in line complain about the person behind the counter serving the coffee. Do I look like the manager?

If you’re going to complain, do it to yourself or be proactive. It just seems like so many people complain but aren’t willing to do anything about whatever it is about which they’re complaining.

When someone starts bitching, I personally just tune them out. I really don’t want to hear it.

I’m really sorry you ate the box of Twinkies and that you’re not in shape. What do you want me to do? Stick my finger down your throat?

I’m a self-help expert. That means you read my stuff and you self-help yourself. I can’t do it for you.

If you want to meet more women, I can’t introduce you to them. I’m not a dating service. If you want to lose weight, I can’t get on the treadmill for you or make your legs move on the treadmill.

So let’s all stop complaining and start doing! By the way, Larry King called and said “Why complain? You can just get married ten times, and they just get younger and younger each time.” (Well at least that’s what I’m sure he would say).

Let me ask you all a question: how many years have you been telling yourself that? How many years have you told yourself that, and how many years have you actually dropped the weight?

And why are you waiting?

Why are you waiting to start an exercise routine that you could have done years ago? Why are you doing this? Why are you always waiting for things?

It’s funny. If you look at life, a lot of people who tend to want to lose weight are people who put off other things in their lives as well – they are procrastinators. These people are always thinking that they’re just waiting for a good time.

I coached a guy once who wanted to lose twenty pounds. He told me, “As soon as I lose this weight, I’m going to start talking to women.” So I let him buy into his excuse for a little while. He was on an exercise plan, and I said, “Why don’t we start the coaching when you’ve lost the weight?”

So he loses the weight, and a month later he comes to me with a new excuse. He said,
“Now that I’ve lost the weight, I’m going to start talking to women as soon as I buy a new wardrobe.”

Are you one of those people who just pile one excuse on top of another? As soon as you lose the weight, you’ll start meeting people. But then you lose the weight, and you decide that you have to buy a new wardrobe before you start meeting people. Once you buy the new wardrobe, you go ahead and pile another excuse on.

But in reality, if you want to lose weight, or start meeting people of the opposite sex, you have to start doing that today! You have to start taking action today.

Why are you waiting for everything? What are you waiting for? Do you want to be a waiter in life? That’s what I call you guys – you’re waiters. You’re always just waiting for the “perfect moment.”

There is never going to be the “perfect moment.” How many times have you seen a woman that you’re attracted to and you’ve waited for the “perfect moment” to approach her?

There she was, walking to the bathroom. You decided you were going to meet her by the bathroom and casually bump into her.

Guess what? You and ten other guys have been thinking about that same perfect moment. You and ten other guys waited for that perfect moment, and you all collided like a bunch of stooges at the bathroom door, looking like fools.

There is no perfect moment. Get out and start now!

You’re always going to be full of excuses. I have found that people who procrastinate now will always procrastinate – unless they step it up and start new things every day.

Do you want to lose weight? Get out there and start losing weight TODAY.

Change your diet. So many people want to lose weight, but they refuse to change their diet. Or they don’t exercise regularly.

Or maybe you’re into the fad diets – you’re on your tenth or eleventh fad diet, but you’ve never exercised. And you just can’t figure out why you’re not losing weight. But you’ve never done a combination of diet and exercise.

It’s about making those changes. So stop the excuses and procrastination!
