KDKA Radio Reporter Tells Weight Loss Story
You’ve surely heard the voice of KDKA Radio’s traffic reporter Kathy Berggren, but because you can’t see her, you probably don’t know that she has lost 100 pounds in the last year.
And she did it completely on her own with no drugs, no surgery and no fad dieting.
“I have more energy, I feel better about myself,” Berggren tells KDKA. “My kids think I’m a happier person all around. I do feel really good.”
Before Berggren’s old jeans were a size 18, but now she wears a size four.
“It’s hard to look at them,” Berggren said of her old jeans. “I mean, I’m excited over it, but I just can’t imagine that was me at one point.”
How to Lose Weight
“How to lose weight,” is a frequent issue psychotherapist Ken Donaldson currently confronts. The “how to lose weight” solution should be easy seeing how there’s almost always a new best selling weight loss or diet book.
However, “Diets don’t work,” Donaldson writes in his brand new Try It NON Diet™, “and yet there’s been a ‘diet’ book on all the Best Seller lists almost every week over the last 15 years. If these ‘diet’ books really worked and effectively taught people how to lose weight then why, according to The National Institutes of Health, is more than 66% of the U.S. population overweight?”
“The real weight loss challenge ,” Donaldson states emphatically, “is that food is something we have to consume every day. And we’re constantly surrounded by a barrage of very effective and highly hypnotic consumer messages to eat more. You can’t lose weight if you keep eating more!”
City rewards healthy choices
The English city of Manchester has come up with a simple formula it hopes will help keep its citizens trim: eat right, get stuff. Exercise, get more stuff.
Manchester is hoping to fight fat with a reward system that works like a retail loyalty card.
But instead of earning credit for opening their wallets, residents will be rewarded for keeping their feet on the treadmill and their fridge stocked with healthy food.
Starting next September, Manchester residents will be able to swipe their rewards cards and earn points every time they buy fruits and vegetables, use a community swimming pool, attend a medical screening or work out with a personal trainer.
