Mark was on blood pressure medication, immobile, and heading toward type two diabetes and knee replacement. Never one to give up or throw in the towel, he made a dramatic choice to change his diet and his life. 100 After 50 is an open honest look into his personal life and weight loss success. He did not use any weight loss medication or surgery. He did not join a weight loss club nor adopt someone else's diet program. He did NOT starve himself. At first he could not exercise at all. He designed a plan that is effective, safe, and easy to follow. He manages his daily caloric intake much like you might manage your checking account. His plan can be tailored for you." -Kevin S. McKechnie, M.D., The Frist Clinic, Nashville, Tennessee At one time, Mark Trogdon's body, size, and physical stature were what gave him confidence. Being an athlete and athletic worked for him, especially having played football in college. But somewhere long after his playing days, "life" had taken over and he had stopped taking care of himself. His once-impressive build had ballooned to an unhealthy 350 pounds. 100 After 50; A Practical Approach to Weight Management is about what Mark had allowed himself to become over time and how he changed his behavior and lifestyle to reverse the process. It's about how he successfully addressed weight-management issues at a time in life when it is perceived to be difficult to do so - middle age. It's about finding ways to be successful in an area of life in which so many people struggle. www.100after50.com www.marktrogdon.com
