Triad Complete Nutrition and Healthy Drink 24/7 is a nutrition club that emphasizes weight loss, so what better location than in the same building as an existing gym, 24/7 Fitness, in the Keystone Center on Main Street?

Healthy Drink 24/7 is affiliated with Herbalife International, the world's largest meal-replacement nutrition company. “This nutrition club concept started in Mexico, where 30,000 of them are in operation, mainly run out of offices and homes,” disclosed James. “They've only been in existence in America for two and half years, and there are currently 4,500 of them. The projections are for 40,000 of them to be operational within the next 10 years.”  James clarified that he is not the owner of Healthy Drink 24/7, merely the facilitator.  “It's owned by the folks who own 24/7 Fitness, Dwayne and Donette Thomas,” he said. “My role is to come in and get everything operational, and once it becomes efficient on its own, I'll go open up another retail location, probably in downtown Greensboro. But, no, I have no ownership in this one here in Jamestown.”

In essence, the club offers a shake, tea and a shot of herbal aloe for a $6.00 fee.  “We have 19 different flavors, anything from Orange Dreamcicle to Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake, all with 230 calories or less,” claimed James. “All have 24 grams of protein, four or five grams of fiber - you can add more protein or fiber - and only 11 grams of sugar. It's all low carb, low sodium, low fat, and high protein, high fiber and high antioxidants. It's designed to be the perfect meal in an easy, on-the-go format. To get all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals in this 230-calorie shake, you'd have to eat 2,500 calories of food, so it's a lot more efficient.”

While the concept revolves around personalized health and wellness and addresses cellular nutrition and the seven essential needs of the human body (protein, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, enzymes and water), its primary focus for most clients is weight loss.  “Obviously we have clients who want to gain or maintain their current weight, and we personalize a program to each individual,” noted James, “but America's biggest nutrition issue is weight loss, so we really concentrate on that. And we've got proven products that will enable anyone to lose weight.”

But the proof is in the pudding, and James has the before-and-after clients to verify his claims.  “I myself lost 30 pounds in two months last December and January,” he said. “My good buddy, Shane Nelson, lost 71 pounds in five months on two shakes daily. And a young lady in Asheville lost 39 pounds in 12 weeks the same way. We get results.”  But if better health and appearance is not reason enough to lose weight, James said Healthy Drink 24/7 is adding another incentive - money. Cold hard cash.

“We have our own spinoff of The Biggest Loser where people are winning money and losing weight like crazy,” he smiled. "It's a 12-week course for a one-time fee of $35. All the payout goes to the top three biggest losers, based on percentage of body weight.
