How did you get started in Competition?

I have always been a competitor, playing Collegiate and Pro Tennis. Several of my friends here in San Diego introduced me to distance running and it simply grew from there. I began training in 1987 and competed in the 1988 Olympic Distance Race. In 1989, I started training with eight- time Ironman Hawaii Champion Paula Newby Fraser. Working out with her took my preparation to a whole new level.

How do you balance a full time job and manage to stay in competitive shape?

I depend on a sound nutrition plan as a foundation for my training program. I expect a lot from my food. Every meal has to work for me, not against me. But I keep it simple and contained to four simple rules.

1. I eat often and a lot. I eat whenever I am hungry, but I eat the right foods. Your metabolism works best when it is fed a steady stream of nutrition. I eat smaller meals every two to three hours, targeting 6 meal occasions per day.

2. I rely on protein to keep my body lean and strong. I consume a minimum of 150 grams of Protein per day and make it is a big part of every meal occasion. I supplement my protein intake with amino acids that help support a variety of body functions. I also add fiber to help the fat burning process, about 30 grams per day.

3. I try to reduce the bad fats in my diet, but I do not eliminate fat in my diet. Fat is an important nutrient, I just limit the amount of saturated fats from meat and dairy. I eat lean cuts of meat and fat free dairy products. I supplement my diet with Omega 3 as well as monounsaturated fats from olive oils.

4. Although as a Triathlete, I burn a lot of carbs, I do attempt to avoid products that are high in sugar. Sugar produces a huge tidal wave of glucose that basically is quickly stored as fat. I stay away from products that are loaded with refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup due to the fact that they contribute to obesity and fat storage.

How has Body Choice contributed to your success?

The Body Choice products have combined high levels of Protein with great taste. There are a lot of products (Protein Bars, Protein Chips, and Protein Cookies) that are nutritionally sound but they taste terrible. Body Choice products taste great and they are good for you, I don't get burned out on them at all!

I work a full time job and manage to train hard everyday. Body Choice provides me with the convenience of a healthy meal or snack that fits well within my diet plan and my on the go life style.

 Andrew Dudaniec

My name is Andrew Dudaniec. I am a very active 38 year old mortgage lender. I burn the hours at work but still find the time to enjoy the outdoor life here in Southern California. Over the past year, I have settled into a routine of skipping meals and surviving on coffee. The result is that I have gained over 20lbs and often feel sluggish in the afternoon. My doctor recommended that I increase the amount of protein and reduce the amount of sugar in my diet. I was shocked to learn that on a typical day I was consuming over 100 grams of sugar. Now that I have Body Choice, I have increased my protein intake and reduced my sugar by 90%.

I never had a problem with my weight until I hit 35 years of age. From that point, it seems that I gained about five pounds every year. Despite being relatively active, my busy work schedule did not allow me to eat the way that I needed to. All too often, I was skipping meals, eating fast food, and snacking on junk. I own and manage a top performing State Farm Insurance Firm.

The stress from work, constantly eating from my car, and eating the wrong kinds of foods put me in a position where I was just gaining weight every month. When I returned from a National Award Banquet for top performers, I was shocked to see how bad I looked in the pictures. I wasn't just worried for cosmetic reasons. I knew the challenges that the Insurance Industry is facing with the dramatic increase in death rates as a result of obesity. The statistics don't lie, dragging all of this excess weight around was going to cut years off of my life. My waistline exceeded 40 inches and my weight crossed 235 lbs. My cholesterol exceeded 270!

I was determined to do whatever I could to reduce this risk!!! I decided it was time to take the weight off. I read Body for Life and Body RX and learned that I needed to attack my eating habits first, making a determined effort to eat 6 meals each day, I focused on doubling my protein intake and dramatically reducing my sugar intake, especially high fructose corn syrup. I added fiber to each meal and drank a gallon of water everyday.

What have I been able to accomplish in the last year??? Try a loss of 6 inches from my waistline and a drop of 36 lbs. My cholesterol is under 190. Granted, I increased my activity and workout regimen, but the key to my success started with how and when I ate and drank. Body Choice was and is a big part of my diet success, and I would recommend these products to anyone. They are designed with nutrition in mind, but balanced with great taste so you do not get burned out on them.

Making Body Choice a part of my day was the best and easiest thing I've ever done. I work a full-time office job, a part-time restaurant job, and work for personal clients on the weekend, easily putting 60 plus hours in per week. With my busy schedule it's difficult to fit healthy meals and snacks into my day. I work in an office and most of my work week is spent sitting at a desk. I never ate breakfast and by lunch I always wound up over-eating.

Now I enjoy Body Choice Products. It also curbs my appetite and it allows me to wait until I get home and can make something sensible for dinner. What really seems odd is that I've actually lost weight and gained some energy while adding food into my diet instead of reducing food. I've lost 12 pounds in just over two months! Thanks Body Choice!
