Growing up, I was an active child. We lived in the country on a lake. I rode my bike all the time, and we always had a swimming pool. As soon as I reached puberty, I started to notice more fat appearing over my chest and stomach. Several years later, I noticed fat appearing on my upper arms. Over time, the fat increased all over my body, and I became less active. I was uncomfortable and lived with some kind of pain almost daily. I have worked in health care most of my life and have observed firsthand the risks that being too fat can cause. I also watched my father suffer with heart disease caused by unhealthy nourishment choices, lack of consistent exercise, and smoking. After many failed attempts to find a fast, easy way to lose fat, including fad diets and diet supplements, I contemplated surgery. Luckily, I have a low pain tolerance and chickened out every time. Because of the experiences I’ve had working in healthcare, I’ve seen the single surgery that turns into multiple surgeries because of scar tissue, further injury, or weight bearing on a particular muscle or joint, complications, infection, and so forth. I noticed that many health care employees are fat and unhealthy just like me, and we were increasing our own risks of becoming the patient instead of the caregiver. For years, I tried to incorporate healthy nourishment choices. I prepared meals at home daily and decreased the number of times that I went out to eat or consumed fast-food items. I had a multi-gym that I tried to use. Many years later I purchased a resort-size treadmill. For two years, I power walked three or more times a week and covered approximately five to ten miles a week. Because I was burning calories, I lost a couple of inches and some weight but still had fatty deposits. The more I worked out, the easier it became to make these changes, but I felt exhausted rather than energized after this type of workout. I remembered how I loved feeling strong when I tried resistance training and I had the multi-station gym at my disposal, in addition to several free weights and dumbbells. I realized that some of the foods I thought were healthy are not. What I needed was to lose fat, but most of what I was eating was high on the glycemic index! I finally learned about the glycemic index value and how it relates to the nourishment choices that we make every day. During the course of five years of completed almost eighteen thousand pre-op surgery interviews for anesthesia at an orthopedic surgery center (approximately 4000 each year), I learned that most patients are uneducated about their own health. I started a fitness and nutrition program that included proper nourishment choices daily to fuel my body and provide energy. It also included “Black Jack” 21, twenty-one resistance training exercises that will produce lean muscle mass and burn fat. This resistance is different for each individual and depends on the strength of the muscle or joint that is used. This combination has stabilized my hormones, my mood, and my blood sugar levels, thereby decreasing my cravings and desire to binge. It has also decreased my aches and pains and has allowed me to lose the fatty deposits, decreasing my risk for health problems and increasing my life expectancy. In less than a year, I transformed my physique. The fat practically melted off and still is gone. I’m several sizes smaller than when I began and continue to show results every week. I am strong! I feel great! My hair, skin, nails, and teeth are in better health than ever before, and others tell me that I look ten years younger. I encourage anyone who has ever tried to lose fat to take the “Black Jack” to Lose Fat challenge and get your body and groove back! And I commend anyone who can shake a weight for one minute, not to mention six minutes! The year of 2011 has been the healthiest time of my life, and I attribute better health to the information provided in “Black Jack” to Lose Fat, “Black Jack” to Get Your Health Back, and “Black Jack” to Prevent a Surgery Setback. I suffered with chronic sinusitis for three years and the last year I couldn’t taste or smell, so I procrastinated about having surgery for many reasons. I finally decided to have the surgery, but the symptoms soon returned. I was tired of being tired and sick of being sick. These “Black Jack” guides include information regarding nourishment choices with real protein shakes made with Greek yogurt (no powders) and recipes that taste great; also the effects of poor health, medication, supplements, what we consume, have on the body, surgery risks, and two resistance training programs called “Black Jack” 21 and “Black Jack” 21 (Advanced Version), which I recommend that you perform three times a week. I have dealt with health problems most of my life, but since incorporating consistent resistance training and proper nourishment choices into my daily life, I feel great and no longer have to miss out on life because of being tired or sick.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
PREFACE
At the age of four, I asked my grandfather what the odd-shaped thing was at the foot of his bed. He told me it was a dumbbell (or free weight) that he used frequently to stay strong and healthy. My grandfather survived WWII and health problems because he has always remained fit and alert. His mind is still sharp; he lives alone and he will soon celebrate his ninety-second birthday. I always enjoy his history lessons and stories about his past. I dedicate this book to him.
Growing up, I didn’t realize the impact that this type of lifestyle would provide long term, but it is never too late to become active, healthy, and fit. I spent most of my life at home and missed out on a good part of my life because I did not feel well. I obtained better health with the information I provide in Black Jack
To Lose Fat and Black Jack
to Get Your Health Back. With over twenty-five years of experience in healthcare, and through the eighteen thousand patients with whom I’ve completed pre-op interviews in just the last five years, I learned that many people are uneducated about their own health and do not know how to get their health back.
I have observed firsthand
