Hello my name is Joe. What I am about to tell you is not going to be easy for me, but it needs to be said. You see, until recently, I would have never spoken to anyone about anything in my private life, Period! It just wouldn’t happen.

Something happened in 2006 that changed my mind…I almost died. I had felt ill for some time, but it got a whole lot worse, quick!

You see, in spite of a Lifetime of workouts, no liquor for 29 years, and no tobacco for the last 8 years, I found myself in the ER with my Best friend at my side. The look on his face told me I was in real

trouble. The Doctor came in and said Joe your Blood Pressure is 165 over sky high. Your blood glucose is over 350 and you’re a DIABETIC. His words hit me like a sledgehammer! My Life as I have known it has just ended. My first Cousin lost his life too Diabetes in spite of all his wealth. To me this was a “Death Sentence.” I was no longer a person; I was a Disease and filled with despair.

The genesis of my boxing love affair began on September 16, 1981 at the tender age of eight. On this memorable night, Sugar Ray Leonard stopped Thomas “The Hit Man” Hearns via TKO after fourteen exhilarating rounds of back-and-forth action. This was the first fight that I ever heard being discussed by my father and his friends; advertised on television, and promoted on billboards and posters on the street. In an era when most big fights could be seen on network or cable television, this fight was only available via closed-circuit broadcast (viewable on a large screen, at a large facility and for a large fee). All of these factors made the big fight an event, one that grabbed

my attention and didn’t let go.

We live in a generation of chronic dieters. Whether it be Atkins, South Beach, Cabbage Soup Diet or The Zone, most diets are set up in such away that you are depriving yourself of a food group, or multiple to achieve a desired result.

I would like to share with you 10 simple rules to feel great, stop the dieting and keep the weight off for good!
