Trimcards – Weight and Health Management System for Life!
You are what you Eat I started practicing the habit of recording daily
goals on file cards while in college and continue the habit even to this
day for achieving daily goals and managing my weight. For years growing
up ½ Italian eating was a tradition at our family gathering and overeating
was common I might add… It inspired me to create a product to
help me control overeating since I saw how being overweight was pretty
much common among not only some of my Italian Family/cousins but
the population in the USA in general.
As a printing guy and interested in health and trying to feel my best I
decided to create a printed product which I named healthy habits later
changed to trimcards. My idea was to market the cards nationwide to individuals
who needed or wanted to manage their weight on a daily basis.
I took out an ad in Prevention magazine and received a few orders for
the cards which kept me going.
Since 1982 I have been marketing the trimcards. I must say the cards
have worked for me but unfortunately to this date have never been
a market success as I had thought they would be. Today many health
enthusiasts have apps that control their daily calorie counts, calories
burned, food intake management and exercise habits.
I still think the product has potential. That is what most product
designers believe and should believe.

Wow what happened to my 32” waistline. Yes age
catches up with all of us and the waistline does
expand as we age and are less active. It’s important to
do our best to maintain healthy habits all of our life.
Eat and drink in moderation which are important
throughout your career and life.
