Alabama Tells State Employees to Slim Down Or Else! Research Proven DESIGNER WHEY® Protein Products Offer Healthy Dieting Solution
Combined with Regular Exercise and Proper Nutrition DESIGNER WHEY Protein Products Help Convert Fat to Lean Muscle Mass
Carlsbad, CA (Vocus) September 25, 2008
Controversy has always been part of state politics, especially during combative election seasons. This year Alabama's State Employees' Insurance Board recently passed an initiative to begin charging a $25 monthly fee to workers who are considered obese. The landmark decision comes on the heels of their decision to charge workers who smoke. Both lightning rod decisions impact the pocketbooks of the nearly 40,000 Alabama state employees.
Getting back in the gym and erasing years of bad eating habits is never easy. Losing large amounts of weight because your job and loss of income depends on it is even harder. DESIGNER WHEY, America's #1 Selling Protein*, is pleased to help the state workers of Alabama retake control of their lives.
"With a lagging economy and everyday workers struggling to make ends meet it is more important than ever to not have money taken out of wallets by making the choice to live healthier," said David Jenkins, Founder and Chief Executive Officer for DESIGNER WHEY. "Our whey protein products offer ease of use, on the go, great tasting ways to curb hunger, improve health, and nourish the body for weight loss when combined with proper nutrition and regular exercise."
Consumers who use DESIGNER WHEY protein products before and after workouts will experience improved strength, faster muscle recovery, and better results, inside and out. Consumers in Alabama can purchase research proven DESIGNER WHEY products at these retailers: Winn Dixie, Publix, Kroger's, Whole Foods, GNC, Rite-Aid and Vitamin Shoppe.
DESIGNER WHEY products include single serving, travel packets of Protein 2Go® in delicious flavors like Orange Mango and Pomegranate Fruit that conveniently mix with bottled water. Launched earlier this year, DESIGNER WHEY's line of Lite & Lean powders have added probiotic fiber for a feeling of fullness and are available in satisfying blends Mixed Blueberry and Raspberry Acai. DESIGNER WHEY's ready to drink ProteinBLITZ™ beverages bring convenient, enjoyable protein intake to a whole new level.
