About Colon Cleansing Report’s Author

about meHello there, and welcome to my site!  My name is Peter Wood and I hail out of the great state of Maryland.  I do hope you find the information on Colon Cleansing Report valuable.  I pour quite a bit of time into this site (you’ll find out a why in a moment) and am glad you stopped by.

If you ever want to chat, simply drop me a line at peter.wood09@gmail.com and I’ll try to respond as quickly as possible.

I’m a software developer by trade, and thankfully my job now gives me enough free time that I pursue a few other hobbies.  My real passion has less to do with coding and a lot more to do with health and nutrition.

My Story: An “A Ha” Moment for My Health

The software industry isn’t conducive to healthy eating.  While I was working the typical 9-5 type of job it wasn’t too bad, but as I received more responsibilities, the hours grew as well and I found myself with less time to exercise and even less time to eat healthy.  Software developers subsist on snack foods and caffeinated soda, and that’s exactly what I was doing!

This went on for years.  I finally had my “A Ha” moment while I was getting ready for work one morning.  I bent over to tie my shoes and realized that I couldn’t breathe very well.  My gut was pushing into my lungs enough it was pretty darn uncomfortable!  Granted, that gut didn’t appear overnight — it had been a work in progress over several years of neglecting my body.

Researching Various Weight Loss Options

I realized that my diet would need to change, and I also realized that I would need to begin exercising regularly (and no, mowing your grass once a week is not “cardio” the way I thought it was!).  I began looking at my health with a basic two-pronged approach:

  • Eating - I read, and read, and read so many different dieting books.  None of them really struck a chord with me.  There were bits and pieces I liked about The Zone, and The Atkin’s Diet, South Beach Diet, and even the long lost Fit or Fat.  But they all seemed a bit extreme in their approach, and not something I could do sustainably.  I ended up giving myself a fixed number of fruits and vegetable servings to eat each day and I cut out soda completely.
  • Exercise - I’ve never been one to really get excited about exercising on some sort of routine.  I’ve always liked exercising for a purpose.  That, of course, led to me not having much purpose when I was working 70 hours per week, so exercise slid.  I finally ended up making sure I take a walk during my lunch break for forty minutes, and I yoga in the early mornings.  The yoga has helped me cope with my daily stresses and has improved my fitness level dramatically.

When I first began really focusing on my eating and exercise, I ended up fairly discouraged.  The results weren’t coming as quickly as I had hoped and I still just didn’t feel like I had the energy I’d had when I was younger (even just five years younger!).  I finally came across colon cleansing and that really struck a chord with me.  The idea seemed sound, and it did seem like I had stubborn fat around my midsection that just wouldn’t go away!

However, I was Disenchanted

Once I began researching colon cleansing I became fairly disenchanted.  There seemed to be so many scams out there!  It seems to be multi-faceted:

  • You have the doctors that don’t believe there’s any need for colon cleansing at all.
  • You have the doctors that believe there is a need for colon cleansing, but not with any type of product.
  • You have the colon cleansing companies that want you to believe you’ll die if you don’t cleanse your colon, and
  • You have the quacks out there that will say and claim just about anything.

Being a software engineer very comfortable with researching on the internet, I immediately headed to my trusty search engines and the like to get the real skinny.  Did I find any resolution?  None whatsoever.  As a result of that, along with interacting with many people throughout different forums, I ended up starting the Colon Cleanse Report.  This has become somewhat of an obsessive hobby of mine and I’m fueled by great comments I get from visitors like yourselves that have read my research and saved themselves a bundle of money in the process.

Good luck to you in all your weight loss endeavors!
