“Big Daddy From Cincinnati”

My name is Mark Hanna. This is a blog about the my personal struggle to reverse the affects the Standard American Diet (“SAD”) has has on my life. On March 1st, 2011 I weighed myself and tipped the scales at 376 lbs.

I have struggled with weight gains all my adult life, in fact although I am only 5′ 7″ tall I weighed 10lbs 13 ounces at birth. A bowling ball for sure.

I created this blog to help me document my struggles and my progresses. By tweeting it and publishing it, and making it known to my friends and family I hope to apply pressure to myself to persevere and make the life changes I need.

I have spent hours on the internet researching the Standard American Diet (SAD). What it has done to me and millions of others is criminal.

I will be writing blogs, which show what I believe is a unforeseen series of events which is poisoning the world’s population through our food supply. You don’t have to eat this poison but it everywhere and the poison is less expensive to eat than the healthy foods.

I play poker and I do enjoy it, however my stamina and personal conditioning is such that I found myself playing less and shorter sessions. I am hoping this blog will help enable changes that will allow me to play better and longer.

I do have a personal website as well which is http://Mark-Hanna.com
