If you're losing the diet game, get back on board

Pritikin Infograpgic, " Are You Losing the Diet Game?"

When trying to shed weight, many of us turn to fad diets and drastic calorie cutting. With the positive energy of new year's resolutions in the past, and the cold winter months still in full force, it's not surprising that February and March are the most common months for diet failure and “cheating” to occur. Experts at the nationally recognized Pritikin Longevity Center have found that fad diets leave us not only hungry and miserable, but often lead to setbacks and cheating that cause additional weight gain.  

The newest Pritikin Infographic, “Are You Losing the Diet Game?” visually outlines ways your weight loss journey can be effected by your dieting and lifestyle decisions. It also reveals the true impact that common dieting mistakes can have on your weight loss and overall health.

Give Dad the gift of relaxation at the spa

Your superman, jungle gym, coach, tutor, teacher, mentor, protector, best friend, buddy, pal, go-to-guy, poppa bear, daddy-o ... No matter what you call him, we are willing to bet the lawnmower, the powertools, and the '57 Chevy that your Dad could take better care of himself. Dads are notorious for making sure everyone else in the family wants for nothing, whether it's dolling out extra dollars for that school field trip, secretly buying you the expensive pair of shoes that Mom denied you, or treating the whole team to ice cream after a big game. Dad's are always dolling out the dough to make others happy. But what about Pop? Shouldn't Dad be allowed to escape the stresses of work and family and just take some time to relax... without breaking the bank? OF COURSE!
