Tips on How To Eat, Drink and Smoke Your Way to Better Health From Heart Attack Grill Founder Jon Basso

00:00 /

A cheat day. Jon Basso was getting tired of being constantly asked if his clients could have a cheat day. So this former Jenny Craig owner and personal trainer has turned his back on healthy living and has built a burger emporium that caters to the overweight and the people who just don’t care about eating healthy.

He figures that if 60% of the population are still overweight despite the efforts of all the experts – maybe the experts are wrong in their approach to help people lose weight. If you can’t beat them join them – his restaurant is the ultimate cheat day. He figures a person will not take losing weight seriously until they hit rock bottom and he feels his restaurant is the perfect place to hit rock bottom. So in his mind he is actually helping people lose weight by selling them the food they crave in an atmosphere that celebrates all things unhealthy.

The Heart Attack Grill, is a burger joint in Arizona (and soon all over the world) that lets 350 pound people eat for free, has waitresses dressed as naughty nurses and gives candy cigarettes to kids. They pride themselves on being politically incorrect at every turn. The good news is that while this place makes no excuses about being a high fat wonderland – they also use all natural products or pre-packaged products – everything is prepared on site. If you are ready to hit rock bottom in order to propel yourself to a healthier life then you can learn more about this temple of unhealthy eating at Jon’s website www.heartattackgrill.com

Leslie Anderson, Alzheimer's Association

00:00 /

Leslie Anderson was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, and attended Mississippi State for both her Bachelors and Masters degrees. After college, she naturally gravitated to the non-profit world, first working for Easter Seals, then spending 15 years at the Red Cross. When the Red Cross reorganized her position moved to Chicago. Being a true Southern belle, she did not. Much to Atlanta’s benefit, Leslie decided to there instead. Today, Leslie is the President and CEO of the Georgia Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, one of the largest in the country. Leslie tells us that there are at least 200,000 diagnosed cases of Alzheimer’s Disease in the state of Georgia. Her organization provides resources for these victims of the disease, as well as for their families. Though many are familiar with the many MemoryWalks around the state, you might not be familiar with their newest event, Dancing Stars of Atlanta. This year the event will be held on April 16 at the Loews Hotel. For more information about this event, or for resources for yourself or a loved one, contact the Alzheimer’s Association at (800) 272-3900, or visit them on the web at www.alz.org/georgia.
