Living Without Regrets


Who is Wali Collins? An accomplished drummer,  the author of Y'NEVANO (You Never Know) and a comedian!  Wali has been doing stand up comedy in New York City, L.A and in Europe for many years now.  He started out like most, trying to make a name for himself.  Now Collins is one of the top comedians in New York City and he has been featured on Comedy Central, The David Letterman Show and many other television stations.  As funny as Collins may be, he takes his health very seriously.

Tell me a little bit about Y'NEVANO
It's a way of thinking, the key to happiness.  Basically teaching a frame of mind that tells you to go for your dreams.  You have to know how to live a regret less life and just be happy.



I always feel so much happier when I workout, how often do you workout?
I workout 3-4 times a week.  When I am working and traveling I may get in 2-3 hours over a 4 day span.

What is your diet like?
I eat pretty well.  No beef or pork though.  I stopped eating beef and pork about 5 or 6 years ago because I wanted to lose weight.  After not eating it for so long I buckled and I ate some at my mothers house.  I threw up after that.

Does your wife follow the same diet?
Not at all.  She eats a lot of red meat.

Is that hard when preparing meals at home?
Its not a problem at home, but when we go to restaurants it can be difficult.

What do you think about the rising rates of obesity in America?
I think it should be illegal!  The medical industry is making millions of dollars off sick people and its a shame! We can't just put blame on the parents it's the kids as well.  We should have mandatory classes that teach the importance of health and fitness.

One more thing, I was told that you learned how to play basketball as an adult that is pretty cool! What was that like?
Ummm, who told you that? Maybe I'm not good then, because I have been playing since I was a kid.

Y'NEVANO is a book of encouragement's.  The purpose of the book is to encourage people to go for their dreams, goals and desires.  "It contains 52 encouragements and it is great for anyone that is going through an obstacle in their life, like weight loss or any hardship" said Collins. You can purchase Y'NEVANO on Collins' website.
