Ontario Trucker Challenges Other Drivers to Lose Weight

LUCAN, ON — Truck driver Dean Nuckowski has lost 25 lbs since October and he thinks other truckers can follow suit.

Nuckowski, 39, who stands at about six-two, went from 240 to 215 and says he’s not done yet.

“This has changed my life, I tell you. It’s also changing the way I look at losing weight,” he told todaystrucking.com.

He attributes his loss to a meal-replacement product called ViSalus which is sold through multi-level marketing (MLM).

Nuckowski has replaced breakfast and lunch every day with a ViSalus “shake” which he says taste like a vanilla cake. Other than that, he hasn’t had to change his lifestyle whatsoever.

Because he is also in the business of selling the product, he says he’s making money at the same time as he’s shedding pounds.

“I’ve lost 25 lbs just sitting behind the wheel. That’s why I’m issuing this highway challenge to other drivers. If I can lose weight, anybody can.”
 


Before...

...and after.

ViSalus has been on the market since 2005, and Nuckowski’s younger brother lured him to the organization.

“I thought this was just another fly-by-night company that was just here to promote their product and leave but I’ve watched my brothers do this and get healthy so I figured there must be something to it.”

(While Today’s Trucking can neither endorse nor denounce the product, our researcher did a quick google search on ViSalus which yielded no negative comments.)

Nuckowski would love to hear from you and he’ll be happy to answer any questions. You can email him at dnuke@bell.blackberry.net or call him at 519 872-1134.

My wife is a ditributor for this product also and got me on it in December and i lots 10# in a few weeks and then christmas came around and I stayed in the hold position. I liked the product not only for the weight loss but found myself not eating properly or missing meals and then haveing a big meal at the end of the day. It sure cut down on what i spend on meals and taste not bad either.

I lost 60 pounds over a 6 month period last winter...the good old fashioned way - diet and exercise. I put some back on over the summer and started back with my routine the day after Christmas and am down nearly 10 pounds again less than a month later. It's possible but you need to commit and track EVERY calorie. So many people think that you can sneak a cookie here and a pizza slice there and still loose weight, but your body isn't fooled...and loosing weight effectively without exercise is impossible for most, even with calorie control. As for the liquid diets and such as suggested here most people fail on them since they don't provide any feeling of satisfaction - AKA, "I feel full", therefore people just fill up on other junk instead. You can have a full (and HEALTHY!) footlong sub at Subway for ~600 calories if you do things right - coupled with 400 calorie breakfast, and assuming at least a 300-400 calorie workout ever day, most larger men can still eat a 800-1000 calorie dinner and still loose 2-4 pounds per week. Tracking your calories when you first start out is important - you'll quickly discover how MANY calories you consume without thinking about it. My old routine lunch USED to be nearly 1800 calories alone, not to mention a 500-750 calorie breakfast, and dinners with little portion control. Drastic changes, diet, exercise...loose weight. It works.
