A NOTE FROM SHERRI RICHARDS, FOUNDER OF GOOD FAT LIFE
”Thank you for taking an interest in Good Fat Life Magazine. The vision for Good Fat Life started many years ago, as a college student. Did I know I would actually start a magazine? No. Being a creative person as I started my college degree in the arts combined with my love for health it is no surprise that my journey has led me here.
With a second major in Business strongly encouraged by my dad, when I was introduced to the Income Statement, I literally felt like King Arthur in the Sword and the Stone where the sky opened, and the sun shone down from the Heavens and my life was changed forever. I couldn’t get enough; I knew I was destined to be an entrepreneur.
When I started Good Fat Life, I knew that the five major wellness players: nutrition, movement, sleep, how we think, and toxins in the environment, as well as relationships, finances and our spirituality are all critical factors in living a healthy life. What I didn’t know was what this really meant, and what little things I could be doing on a daily basis to move closer to my vision, and a healthy life without feeling deprived. Truth is I didn’t even have a vision. I was just doing my best to stay ahead of the day. You know, kids, family, work, paying the bills, exercise: and the list goes on and on. Getting through each day. That was where my focus was. While I did my best, I constantly felt like I was missing something profound, like I was somehow even sabotaging myself. Life shouldn’t be this hard.
As time allowed, I kept looking for trusted resources that would teach me what I needed to know in a way that was easy to understand, like talking to a good friend who really knows their stuff. I want to understand what the difference between being a fat burner and a sugar burner really is, and why I should care. How do I get rid of my belly fat in a way that is sustainable and addresses the root cause of my extra weight? Diets aren’t sustainable, so how should I eat for my body? We are all different, and none of us are one size fits all.
So many questions that I Have had over time are: What are superfoods and how do they fit into my lifestyle? Snacking! What are good snacks? How can I read a food label and easily, understand what I am reading? How do the clothes I wear impact the environment? How do the thoughts I think and the people I am around impact my overall well-being? What about sleep? How do I stop waking up at 3:00 AM? All these questions and many more keep popping up. Short of having to look at 100 resources to find straightforward, evidence-based answers, I decided to surround myself with the experts by going right to the source, and put them all together into one place.
Thus, Good Fat Life was born. It is a Modern, Healthy, Lifestyle Magazine, designed to be a trusted resource for all things that support a life well lived. I look forward to sharing more about Good Fat Life Magazine with you.”
