Death and Taxes Lead Singer Jay Link Rocks The Detox

LOS ANGELES, CA, September 30, 2009– Jay Link and his band, Death and Taxes, have been feasting on the LA hard rock music scene for over a decade and have played shows all over the country. Link once attempted a walked from Arizona to Chicago for charity and in support of his quest to shed hundreds of pounds, but per Jay he only made it a few miles due to his weight and health condition at the time. Link now has his ideal playing weight of 200 pounds firmly in his crosshairs and plans to unveil his new rocker bod in an upcoming Death and Taxes tour that will begin in early 2010.

To shed his final 80 pounds in the next 8 months, Link has chosen to use the hot upstart beverage called Simplifast. Simplifast drinks will help him quickly and safely shed the unwanted pounds through a series of short liquid juice fasts each month, then following a healthy meal plan until he obtains his desired weight. Simplifast is the first ready-to-drink fasting beverage or lemon cleanse, and has reinvented the Master Cleanse (aka the Lemonade Diet). The lemonade diet has been around for decades with its health benefits touted by everyone from doctors to celebrity product endorsers. Simplifast has made the so-called lemonade detox diet possible for busy people on-the-go with the world's first ready-to-drink improved and healthy version of the lemonade diet formula.

"Our fans and friends will drive me to complete my fasting and weight-loss mission, and I welcome support in the coming weeks," says Jay Link. "The band is amped up for the upcoming tour and we'll be hungry to jam by then, so be there and bring your appetite. I'll be lean and mean and expect everything short of parachute pants and karate kicks."

Some people in the entertainment industry have used the lemonade diet for rapid weight loss. The Master Cleanse diet has received media attention as a result of being embraced by some high profile celebrities.

"We met Jay on Twitter and are very excited to watch him reach his weight-loss goal using our fasting beverages," says Dianna Toomey, Simplifast Founder and CEO. "Our mission is to promote healthy lifestyles and proper weight management, and what better way than to help Jay feel better, rock harder and have the show of a lifetime!"
