Preview of "Five Percent Chance"

Live On The Go
I am often asked for advice on how to be successful in making healthy choices while living a busy, on-the-go life. One of the first things that I think about is the purpose of food and making sure this is correct in our minds first.

My family doesn't get together to eat. We get together to be together, and we eat as a method of relating and enjoying time together. We don't eat first for the satisfaction of the taste or texture of the food or the pleasure that comes from it, but we eat to fuel our physical body so we can achieve the greater endeavors our life has been purposed for. Our purpose is not food or eating. We design and reserve space in our home for food preparation and consumption. This space, although it is designed around the food, is not first and foremost purposed for supporting eating. It is purposed for creating environment. Think about a picnic table. It is designed to be sat around so that we face each other, have space for our food, and are able to focus on each other as we look across the table. If relationships were not pinnacle, then our eating environments could simply use a classroom or theater type of seating. Some of these seating arrangements are seen in some fast food establishments...

 

Why Did Jerrod Write This Book?

The purpose of this book is to celebrate living through what could have been a death sentence, and to share some of the things that I have learned over the years as I have endeavored to learn the truth about our foods. I hope that you find the contents of this book encouraging and enlightening as you, too, search for answers about your health.

One of the values that I can provide through my life and my example is as a health coach. Clearly this can't be on a personal level with everyone, but I can show you what I have done, where I found the best personal coaching resources, and how to determine if you are seeing the truth or simply more marketing messaging. More on this later, but let me begin with an example.

I often visit books stores, getting a spike of excitement each time I see a new cover, name, face, author, etc. The problem for many of us is that we don't know what the motivation is for all these publications. Sadly, most are not as scientific or as noble as we hope. Today, I can flip through these books and quickly determine if they are based on truth or just more of the same rhetoric that fills our culture, billboards, advertisements, and in turn, our minds. I will show you some basics that will enable you to quickly scan these resources and determine fact or fiction on your own..
