Guidelines and Terms

DIAKADI and Eating Free are looking for obese residents of the San Francisco Bay Area who have a desire to lose weight and embrace a healthier lifestyle in 2012.

We want to show individuals that living a healthy, fit and energized life is very possible. Our 2009, 2010, and 2011 Commit to Fit program was a huge success and our winners, Kevin Johnson, Kelley Clements and Dave McKew are still losing weight. Three years later, Kevin has lost over 160 pounds, changed his lifestyle and has truly found himself. Kelley has lost 52 pounds, increased her strength, and boosted her confidence. Still in year one, Dave has lost over 90 pounds and still saying “I can do this!” NOW is your opportunity to do the same!

Our nutrition, fitness, and life coaching will focus on reconnecting you with your body and introducing holistic approaches to monitor sleep and stress, identify eating strategies and establish goals.

The selected winner of the Commit to Fit Contest will share his/her progress with DIAKADI and Eating Free through website tracking, blogging, media outlets, and photos.
