健康计划身体力行:麦当劳女高管减肥成功

admin

33年前简•费尔茨参加麦当劳的时辰还只是卖力炸薯条，当她将近55岁那年，她已成为这个快餐连锁团体的美国总裁。她说，“有天醒来后我对本身说，‘天啊！我怎样变得这么胖了？’”

与她掌管的14,000家麦当劳连锁店的上百万主顾同样，费尔茨也是在不知不觉间长胖的——“每次10磅：10磅，10磅，10磅，然后忽然间，我看了看本身，不由惊呼，天哪，我重了90磅。我怎样长这么胖了？”

诚然，麦当劳一向是评论家们公认的美国肥胖问题的祸首罪魁，可是费尔茨对峙认为她本人发福的本源不是食品，而是缺少熬炼。“我不怎样活动，”她认可，“成天除上班，就是回家睡觉”。

费尔茨在财产（Fortune）最具影响力女性名单中位列第25名，其实不怎样惹人注视：她在印第安纳州的小城镇文森尼斯长大，来自于一个有8个孩子的家庭，排行老七。小时辰她一向很纤瘦，并空想着长大了当一位修女，厥后又向往着当一位状师。但她随后结识了她丈夫，早早地结了婚，生了个女儿。23岁那年，在开车去加入修建公司秘书雇用口试的路上，她上麦当劳喝了一杯可乐，可巧瞥见了“雇用”的牌子。实在，那是费尔茨第一次在麦当劳用餐。因为囊中羞怯，她和曾是空军的丈夫从未在餐馆吃过饭。

因为一时血汗来潮，她接管了麦当劳的事情，时薪2.65美元。上班第一天晚上回抵家，她大哭一场——“糟透了”。厥后公司把她从煎炸部调到了前台做客服。“不要由于某件事或某小我而抛却，”她说。因为在事情上恪尽职守，在带领气概上和颜悦色，励精图治，她在公司一起一步登天。

一向以来，因为在事情上太负责，她很难抽出时候去大学进修或调养身体。直到有一天，在约见了一名养分师以后，她才下刻意向肥胖开战。“一起头，我主如果在健身房的跑步机上操练”，她说，只要有走道的处所，就可以健身，“我并无请锻练。”

她起头加大饮水量，不喝汽水，即即是无糖汽水。费尔茨天天依然都在麦当劳用餐，只是和曩昔比拟，吃的种类分歧，分量也更少。早饭是麦当劳的燕麦粥或鸡蛋麦氏松饼或瓜果和酸奶冻糕。她在伊利诺伊州奥克布鲁克办公，办公室四周有一家麦当劳，这也是她午饭的地址，午饭菜谱凡是是烤鸡三明治或芝士堡，并搭配少许程序薯条和冰茶。

晚饭不在麦当劳吃——事情之余她也有本身的糊口。凡是，她会点通心粉，她常说，“我是西红柿干酪沙拉的粉丝。这是我一向以来最钟爱的一道菜”

康健饮食为费尔茨带来了康健，也造福了公司。全新的食物好比冰沙和燕麦粥帮忙公司扩展了客户群，同时也带来了更丰富的利润，公司股价也在近期升至汗青新高。与此同时，麦当劳上周颁布发表，旗下店面将为高兴乐土餐（Happy Meals）搭配瓜果或蔬菜，并削减薯条的份量，这象征着“公司为迎接重大变化迈出了第一步”，费尔茨说。

费尔茨器重培育年青人，她认为本身的履历是“有志者事竟成”的写照。那末这个月行将年满56岁的她又会在谋略甚么新的方针呢？那就是10月9日的美国银行（Bank of America，BAC）芝加哥马拉松。固然在2月份以前她连1英里（1.61千米——译注）都没跑过，可是费尔茨今朝正在踊跃备战。周日，她在给我的邮件中说：“上周末我跑了13.1英里”，她继续写道，“太热了（有90华氏度——32.22℃）。我花了3小时12分才跑完。以是近期跑奥运赛事是没戏了…可是我对峙跑完了 ”

Jan Fields, who started at McDonald's 33 years ago cooking fries and is now the fast food chain's U.S. president, was soon to turn 55 when, she says, "I woke up one day and said, "Oh my God, how did I gain this much weight?"

Like millions of her customers at the 14,000 restaurants she oversees, Fields added her weight gradually--"10 pounds at a time: 10, 10, 10 and all of a sudden, I looked and I said, 'Oh, my God, I've gained 90 pounds. How did I ever do that?"

Of course, McDonald's tops critics' hit list for compounding America's obesity epidemic, but Fields insists that her own culprit wasn't food but lack of exercise. "I didn't exercise," she confesses. "I worked all the time, went home and went to bed."

Fields, No. 25 on Fortune's Most Powerful Women list, has always been easy to underestimate: The seventh of eight children raised in tiny Vincennes, Indiana, she grew up skinny and dreamed of being a nun, then a lawyer. But she met a guy, married young, had a daughter, and was driving to an interview for a secretarial job at a construction company when, at 23, she stopped at McDonald's for a Coke and spotted a "Now Hiring" sign. It was, in fact, the first time Fields ever ate in a McDonald's. She and her husband, who had enlisted in the Air Force, were so poor that they couldn't afford to eat out.

Accepting a job on a whim and starting at $2.65 an hour, she went home that first night and cried -- "a disaster" until they moved her from cooking fries to serving customers at front counter. "Never quit over one thing or one person," she advises. Rising rapidly through the ranks, she was propelled by a remarkable discipline and a down-home, inspirational leadership style.

Along the way, Fields was working so hard that she never had time to get a college degree or take care of herself. Until she visited百家樂, a nutritionist and co妹妹itted to do something about her weight gain. "I started with going to the gym and getting on a treadmill," she says, noting that all you need is a walking path to begin a fitness routine. "I didn't hire a trainer台北機車借款,."

She started drinking a lot more water. And no soda, not even the diet kind. Fields still eats at McDonald's every day--but different foods and smaller portions than she used to. Breakfast is McDonald's oatmeal or an Egg McMuffin or a fruit and yogurt parfait. Lunch, at the McDonald's next to her office in Oak Brook, Illinois, is usually a grilled chicken sandwich or a cheeseburger, with a few French fries and iced tea.

Dinner is not at McDonald's -- she does get away from work. Typically, she has pasta, or, she says, "I'm big on tomato mozzarella salad. That's my favorite all-time food."

The focus on healthy eating has been good for Fields -- and the company. New products like smoothies and oatmeal have helped expand McDonald's customer base and profits, and the stock recently reached an all-time high. Meanwhile, McDonald's announcement last week that its restaurants will serve fruit or a vegetable with Happy Meals and cut the portion size of French fries signifies "our first step toward creating serious change," Fields says.

Fields, who loves to mentor young people, contends that her story proves that people "can do anything that they can set their mind to." And what, as she turns 56 this month, is she setting her mind to next? The Bank of America (BAC) Chicago Marathon, on October 9. Though she never ran a mile until this past February, Fields is now training vigorously. On Sunday, she emailed me: "This past weekend, I did 13.1 miles," she wrote. "It was so hot (got to 90), it took me 3 hrs and 12 minutes. So I will not be qualifying for any Olympic trials any time soon...but I made it "
