The Sealy Pound-4-Pound Challenge started last night with a motivational lecture/teaching session withย Mark MacDonald, founder of Venice Nutrition. ย MacDonald isย author of the New York Times Bestseller Body Confidence. ย He is alsoย currently the host of the HLN news segment Transformation Tuesdays and has beenย featured as a health expert on The Dr. Oz Show, CNN, Access Hollywood, Chelsey Lately and HLN.

The Pound-4-Pound Challenge is described on the website as “A scientifically-based approach enables you to create a permanent health structure by stabilizing your blood sugar levels (glucose in your blood) with the right food. ย You then create balance (homeostasis) which allows your body to release stored body fat, toxins and excess sodium, while protecting lean muscle mass and igniting your metabolism.”

The Pound-4-Pound Challenge will take place over a 4 week period and will cost $60, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Sealy Rotary. ย If you are interested in taking part, you can contact Sarah Whitehead by calling her at (713) 202-3099.
