\"\"<\/a>Promising golfers smaller clothing sizes, no hunger, plenty to eat, and the sublime feel of lightly striding up the 18th fairway with legs as fresh as on the first, veteran Food and Weight Loss Coach Larry Jacobs will present his latest Weight Loss for Golfers<\/em> Tele-Seminar Series this coming September 28 \u2013 and with a special end-of-summer half-price offer. Guaranteed to make participants \u201cThin for Life,\u201d the four-part program comes at a time of year when many golfers are noticing a suspiciously expanding end of summer waistline.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the dog days of summer golfers tend to drink more sodas and beer, and eat more hot dogs, chips, potato salad and other comfort foods,\u201d explains Jacobs, who since 1983 has helped clients adopt healthful diets and lose pounds. \u201cJust as players in many parts of the country are putting away their clubs for winter, extra weight often starts to sneak on.\u00a0 Then comes Thanksgiving and feasts that don\u2019t stop until January. Without a change in eating habits and some focus, a lot of people are destined to pack on more flab.\u201d<\/div>\n

Having previously conducted thousands of consults and more than 20 Weight Loss Tele-Seminars, Jacobs has enabled people from all walks of life in 22 countries to modify and improve those habits. More recently he\u2019s focused on golfers, with a list of satisfied golf notables that includes NBC Sports on-course Golf Announcer Roger Maltbie, Fred Funk, Allen Doyle, Don Trahan, Dottie Pepper and Fred Funk.\u00a0 In fact, Jacobs gave Funk \u201cgame day\u201d food advice just after he qualified for the U.S. Open at Bethpage in 2009.<\/p>\n

Forget the Scale and Look to Pant Sizes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI lost over 30 pounds in the first two months of working with Larry,\u201d says Maltbie, who has long sported a formidable waistline, and whose weight loss led to a full-page article in Golf Digest<\/a> <\/em>magazine.\u00a0 Adds Pepper, a golf broadcaster and former LPGA star: \u201cAfter working with Larry for barely six weeks I\u2019m definitely smaller, up to two sizes in some of my jeans.\u00a0 I have a lot more energy. And I feel like this hasn\u2019t been that big of deal, even to maintain on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because Jacobs\u2019 program doesn\u2019t hinge on fasting, pills, banning carbohydrates or the severe caloric restriction common to conventional diets. \u201cIt\u2019s almost impossible to restrict calories and eat less forever, which is why<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

diets don\u2019t work and people usually regain all or more of what they lost,\u201d says Jacobs. \u201cMy clients eat as much as they want whenever hungry, and it\u2019s real food that you get in grocery stores and restaurants. The key is to learn to eat clean<\/em>. It\u2019s not how much you eat. It\u2019s what<\/em> you eat that matters most.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you combine some simple physical activity with Jacobs\u2019 method of eating, the body\u2019s metabolism gets trained to burn fat instead of storing it. \u201cI don\u2019t want my clients obsessing over a number on a scale, which can be demoralizing,\u201d adds Jacobs. \u201cThe best way to measure progress isn\u2019t weight, it\u2019s about getting smaller and fitting into smaller clothes plus how much more energetic you look and feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coaching Bad Bellies and Big Bellies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Thin for Life program had its genesis in California during the 1970s, when Jacobs began suffering severe gastrointestinal pain. After several futile treatments, he turned to a physician pioneering nutrition-oriented medicine, who discovered he was allergic to one specific food. Inspired, Jacobs returned to his native Maryland, studied nutrition, its impact on health, and hung up a shingle to coach others on what he\u2019d learned. \u201cWhile the original idea was more about wellness than weight,\u201d he adds, \u201cI eventually ended up working with more big<\/em> bellies than with bad<\/em> bellies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although a novel practice in those olden times, the science of nutrition, wellness and physical performance is now mainstream, most famously evident by the improved conditioning of Wimbledon Champion Novak Djokovic, after removing glutens from his diet. But an obvious question for Jacobs is why the focus on golfers?<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, I\u2019m a mad dog golfer myself, and know the lengths players will go to improve their games,\u201d explains Jacobs, a volunteer Special Olympics Golf Coach who carries\u00a0a four handicap. \u201cThe golfers instantly know that I\u2019m one of them. Second, there\u2019s also a large group of Baby Boomers and seniors heading down the \u201cback nine\u201d of life, when excess weight and the poor health that comes with it detracts from play and makes the game less enjoyable.\u00a0 And while golfers have been encouraged to try yoga and get stronger, nutrition has been largely overlooked.<\/p>\n

Goodbye Mr. Chips and Farmed Salmon <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Weight Loss for Golfers Tele-Seminar is a substantial piece of work, as well as a life changing process for participants.\u00a0 While it regularly sells for $997, this September\u2019s Tele-Seminar Series is being offered for $497 with a money back guarantee. Structured to run over four sessions, it consists of written materials and four separate call-in or listen on the web sessions, each of which lasts from 60 to 90 minutes.\u00a0 During the call-in sessions \u2013 which are recorded and kept on a password-protected system \u2013 Jacobs goes through the steps of the program and answers questions by email and phone. \u00a0\u201cWe break things into two week chunks,\u201d he explains, \u201cand the first session is about temporarily eliminating certain foods that aren\u2019t good for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some things, like potato chips and processed meats are obvious.\u00a0 Others are less, such as farm-raised salmon and apples that are grown conventionally, with pesticides and herbicides.\u00a0\u00a0 The diet still has room for several dozen types of food in the first two-week period.\u00a0The second session involves systematically re-introducing some of the foods and gauging the body\u2019s reaction, while the next sessions are devoted to creating an individualized long-term plan to build healthy eating into a lifestyle. \u00a0For more information on Larry Jacobs and to register for his Weight Loss for Golfers Tele\u2013Seminar program, go to http:\/\/ThinGolfer.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
