George's Nutrition Needed a Shift

THE COMPLETE COMMUNITY · GEORGE’S STORY

Learning to make nutrition part of the plan.

George Shaw already enjoyed lifting weights. His next step was learning more about the eating habits that shaped the rest of his routine.

“I view weight maintenance as a lifelong effort that must evolve over time.”

Recognizing the missing piece

In 2011, George began looking more closely at his habits. His work as a firefighter and EMT also gave him reasons to think about his own wellbeing.

Finding guidance

After speaking with sponsored athlete Brenda Herrod, George and his wife Angie visited Complete Nutrition in Omaha. He described learning about food choices, portions, and ways to track his routine.

A plan that kept evolving

George added running and more variety to his workouts. In his account, he reported losing more than 85 pounds and maintaining the change for eight months, while viewing maintenance as an ongoing effort.
