A few months ago, a UNMC-Physicians nurse told the wellness director at UNMC that they had started a simple program called “The F.A.S.T. Diet” and that a group had lost nearly 2,000 pounds. <\/p>\n

Soon thereafter the UNMC group started and subsequently dropped a lot of weight quickly.<\/p>\n

Why does this program work so well?<\/B><\/p>\n

The principles of this program are simple and have nothing to do with fasting. Continue eating whatever foods you like while learning control. Start exercise slow while focusing on improvement and being accountable every day to learn consistency, causing you to be able to maintain your goal. It’s simple … because accountability makes it work.<\/p>\n

Success is everywhere<\/B><\/p>\n

In 2006, F.A.S.T. started with a family of eight in Omaha, who collectively lost 501 pounds. The following year a group of about 100 lost 4,006 pounds. Now there are groups across 20 states and one local Omaha group has lost 17,456 pounds. The program even comes with an unconditional money back guarantee. <\/p>\n

Informational meeting on May 2<\/B><\/p>\n

An informational meeting regarding the F.A.S.T. diet will be held Monday, May 2 at 11:30 a.m. in the Eppley Science Hall Auditorium. Attend and learn how the program works and see if it might be for you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
