Employer intensives are a great way to get people on the road to wellness. John Brown’s company Caterpillar Inc. challenged their employees to get fit with a “Biggest Loser” style competition. The reward was a cash prize. Brown needed the dough to hire a divorce lawyer, so he was amply motivated.
Brown started by carrying a notebook to jot down everything he put in his mouth. He discovered he was eating about 4,000 calories a day, far more than he needed to stay alive.
He actually saw that in a positive way.
“I thought I could cut that amount in half and still have plenty of food,” he said.
