Did You Know That Obese People Have A Greater Risk Of Going Blind?

I found the following article today, and while it's short, it's message packs a big punch. Studies now show that if you're overweight, you have a greater risk of losing your vision than normal weight individuals. I don't know about you, but I think I'd rather be able to see than eat another piece of cheesecake... Here's the article:

If You're Overweight, Now You Have Something Else to Worry About
By Jason Holland

As if heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes weren't bad enough...

A study shows obese people have a greater risk of losing their vision.

Harvard researchers studied 261 patients for an average of 4 1/2 years. They found that the bigger your waistline, the more likely you are to have vision loss due to age-related macular degeneration.

The Positive News ==> All the news isn't bad. They also found that exercising a few times a week cuts your risk by 25 percent.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots - Funny Name - Serious Subject

Every now and then, I come across a website that catches my attention just by the name of the site. FatLoss4Idiots.com is one of those sites. As you know, I'm in the online marketing business, and a friend of mine sent me this site because it's one of the most successful online dieting websites/products of all-time. Obviously, I had to check it out to see what they're doing that's so great.

What I found was a simple approach to an age-old problem. Losing weight isn't rocket science, and that's what this site seeks to convey. Anyone can lose weight....even idiots! :)

What will you learn from this site? First, you'll learn why most of the diets you've heard of lately don't work. Then, you'll learn about their secret that they say will start changing your body in just 11 days. The premise behind their program is Calorie Shifting, i.e, changing up your caloric intake everyday to confuse your metabolism into working overtime. (And, don't worry, they done all the legwork, so all you have to do is follow the program - it really is idiot proof)

I'm not endorsing this product, nor am I using it. I was interested in it because I wanted to learn more about how they've been marketing it. But, as I've studied their methods, I've also become a firm believer in their system, and believe if you've been trying to lose weight, you might want to give this site a look. Their program only costs $39 and it has a 60-day money back guarantee, so you've really got nothing to lose but weight.

Until later, make it a great day and happy holidays to you all!

P.S. If you do try this program, drop back by here after you've implemented it for 11 days and let us know if it worked for you. Thanks!

7 Super Snacks That Have Healing Powers

Did you know that eating blueberries will help you ace that next test? Or, that green tea will increase your metabolism and help you lose weight faster?

These are just a couple of the super snacks that are featured in an article I found on Yahoo.com. Here's a quick run-down of the 7 Super Snacks and a brief explanation of their benefits. For complete details about each snack, visit this page on Yahoo.com.

1. When stressed, eat 1 cup of Low-Fat Yogurt or 2 tbsp of Mixed Nuts. Why? Because they both contain certain amino acids that are known to decrease anxiety, so instead of reaching for a soda, grab one of these two healthy treats instead.
2. To increase your metabolism, drink Green Tea rather than fasting. Why? Fasting causes your body's metabolism to shut down, which makes it harder to lose weight. Green Tea increases your metabolism, which helps you burn calories faster and ultimately lose weight faster.
3. When you need a pick-me-up, reach for trail mix instead of espresso. Why? Raisins provide the potassium and nuts provide magnesium, which together will give you energy and help you recover faster from exercise.
4. When you need a brain-boost, reach for blueberries not ice cream. Why? Blueberries contain antioxidants, which have been shown to increase cognitive thinking.
5. When you've got a cold, drink hot or cold Ginseng Tea rather than sodas. Why? Ginseng kills invading viruses by increasing your body's production of key immune cells, while caffeine in sodas actually dehydrates your body, which leaves you more vulnerable to invading viruses.
6. Best quick breakfast option: Eggs and whole wheat toast over a bagel and cream cheese. Why? Eggs are packed with protein and are the #1 thing you should eat for breakfast because they set you up for a perfect day of eating.
7. When you want to get in the mood, eat dark chocolate rather than drinking that third glass of wine. Drinking one or maybe two glasses of wine is okay because it does increase your sexual appetite and decreases inhibitions, but by the third glass, you're just as likely to fall asleep as you are to get it going on. The cocoa in dark chocolate contains stimulants that increase your body's sensitivity and the phenylethylamine actually will give you a natural high.
   

Again, for a more detailed description of each of these super snacks, please visit this page on Yahoo.com.

Good luck and make it a great day!

Lose Pounds With Pears

The next time you're heading down the fruit aisle at the grocery story, stop by the pear section and pick up a few. According to this article from Health.com, pears are an excellent source of both Vitamin C and fiber. One pear contains 25% of the recommended daily allowance of fiber.

Why will this help you lose weight? Because fiber is bulky and gives you that full feeling. Therefore, one pear is usually enough to fill you up and thus you'll eat less and eventually lose more weight.

Good luck and make it a great day!
