Looking for the Magic Bullet to Weight Loss?

I hate to be the one to break it to you – but it doesn’t exist. And by the way, there’s no fountain of youth, and I have yet to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. But hey, I don’t mean to be negative, just realistic. As the founder of a natural foods company, I am often asked the question “will I lose weight if I start eating Zoe’s Granolas and/or Zoe’s Bars?”

Although there is no such thing as a magic bullet, a little discipline and common sense do go an awful long way. Easy advice to give, harder to actually follow – I know because I’ve been there too.

When I first started Zoe Foods – about eight years ago – I received an email from a woman sincerely thanking me for making Zoe’s Granola. She said that she began eating Zoe’s Granola in place of her normal breakfast. Before long, she had begun to lose weight and not be hungry before lunch. Since she had lost some weight and was feeling better, she started walking regularly. Before she knew it, she had unintentionally lost more weight, and felt stronger and more energetic.

I couldn’t believe that Zoe’s Granola had become the catalyst for change for this woman to lead a healthier lifestyle. Although Zoe’s is not a magic bullet, I was pretty excited about its potential to make a difference in people’s lives. This has been my dream for a long time.

Starting Zoe Foods eight years ago is part of my dream to make a difference in people’s lives through a business that would be interesting, challenging, and allow me to work with amazing people. My dream to grow Zoe Foods into a natural foods brand that is available in grocery stores nationwide persists. Because my team and I believe in this dream, we are beginning to see how we can achieve our goals.

Keep believing in yourself, and you too can achieve your goals whether they relate to your weight or anything else you would like to achieve in your lifetime.
