Irby says “This is a great opportunity for local residents to change their lifestyle and quality of life in 2008.  Our goal is the same as North Carolina’s- to become a more fit and healthy state for 2008.  Becoming fit leads to higher self esteem, an increase in productivity at work and higher self-confidence.  It is a win-win situation.  As a company, we are committed to provide our community with practical information to increase their quality of life.  Research shows that 80% of living a healthy lifestyle is nutrition.  Planning meals, portion control, and creating and adhering to a food budget are three of the main areas to create a healthy lifestyle. Our website (www.thefitchef.net) features articles related to health, easy and healthy recipes and personal training tips.
