50 Million Pound Challenge
There are multiple beneficial properties in the 50 Million Pound Challenge as devised by Dr. Ian Smith, the nation’s premiere celebrity health expert and weight-loss connoisseur. The challenge, sponsored by State Farm Insurance Co., provides Smith with a national vehicle for which the Time magazine columnist and physician can harness passion for helping people lose weight. Secondly, Smith, the author of the Four Day Diet, constructed the 50 Million Pound Challenge to be totally free of charge for all who wish to lose weight and transform their lives.
Third, people who desperately want and/or need to shave off access fat – and even more importantly, repel the pesky pounds for good – will be able to draw from the vast storehouse of information from Smith’s impressive educational pedigree and industry expertise. Smith was educated at Ivy-League powerhouses, including Harvard, Columbia and Dartmouth College, and got his medical degree from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. Smith’s combined years of experience taught him how much a person’s mind plays in the success and failure of a weight-loss program. “What I wanted people to realize that there are two things: there’s dieting and there is exercising. But with the Four Day Diet, there is a third component: the mind,” he says. “Very few people when they talk about dieting talk about the mental, the psychological aspect of dieting. The thing is this: if you can get your mind in the right place, the body will follow. Remember: dieting is 80 percent mental and 20 percent physical.”
The mind of a weight-loss aspirant can also become weary from the consumption of the same foods every day, which is why Smith composed different diets in the Four Day Diet.
“Why is that critical? The number one reason they fall of the bandwagon of dieting is that they get tired of the food. They get bored with the same thing all the time. With the Four Day Diet, you never get bored, because every four days you’re eating something completely different.”
This will improve one’s chances of shedding and keeping off weight, for sure. However, to really guarantee that a much higher percentage of people succeed in their weight-loss goals, Smith said he had to step out of the lab coat and into the streets of America to personally inspire people nationwide. Thus the 50 Million Pound Challenge.
“So my belief, rather than just be a journalist and a physician who talks about the ravages in our society related to obesity, we have to do something to give the gift to give people the tools they need to make it happen. And we have to remove the economic barrier from it. so many people want to do the right thing but either can’t afford it or don’t understand,” he says. “The 50 Million Pound challenge is completely free, sponsored by State Farm and we give people all the need to lose weight and change their lives. This has been my calling. Sometimes your calling is not something that you choose but it chooses you. Helping people lose weight and gain their health is something that I love to do. My reward is to see people change and see that transformation, not only physically but also spiritually.”
