About My E-books

-
I understand that many of us don’t like reading “how-to” books. They tend to be boring and it’s easier to find a video on YouTube or just “google it”.
But there’s an upside to books. First, I can skim through and see if this book will answer all my questions and if it can, is it worth the money? That is where the e-book has the advantage. E-books are very reasonable compared to a printed book and you get the same content. So it all comes down to trusting the author.
This is one reason why I blog. I want the reader who reads my blog posts to get to know and trust the material I post. From that point on the reader can make the decision to trust the information in my posts or not.
For those who have a weight problem or just too much fat and can’t lose it, this will affect your health as you get older. If you’ve read some of my posts you probably have read about belly fat being the worst type of body fat.
Everyone should take their health condition serious. I see people on the street every day that are struggling just trying to do simple tasks like walking, sitting or trying to get out of a chair. Some of these people are elderly but most of them are young to middle age adults. People who can’t or won’t walk a flight of stairs at the office or the mall. People who don’t try to improve themselves because it takes too much effort.
What we eat and drink will determine how long we live. Most people think that being overweight is about the amount of food we eat or the drinks we drink. But it’s really about the kind of food we eat and the kind of drinks we drink. Most of what we can buy in the grocery store isn’t very healthy. The stores sell these foods because they make more money selling, “for example”, frozen food than selling fresh produce. And why is that you might ask? Because frozen food doesn’t spoil.
Spoilage is a big problem for stores even with free meat and seafood. Canned foods and frozen foods don’t spoil so the store can’t lose money. The same problem is driving up the menu prices in restaurants.
Grocery stores and restaurants thought they had the answer to spoilage when frozen food started to gain popularity but today the younger generation isn’t buying it. The younger generation is more health conscious than older generations. Fresh foods and eating fresh is more popular than ever before. You wonder why the prices of groceries are going up? That’s because with the increase in popularity if fresh foods the amount of food spoilage is on the rise again and we will see the rise reflected in prices.
I was at the grocery store today to buy apples and if you have noticed lately, it’s hard to find fruit priced by the pound. Because the prices are scaring customers away, they sell fruit by the piece. Maybe it’s apples 2 for $1 or it’s 2 for $3 for exotics. So you might have sticker shock when you see some prices but you should know if you don’t remember, that 50 or 60 years ago people spent more of their paycheck for food than we do today. On a percentage basis people spent almost twice what we spend now.
Today the average family has two incomes and spends about 12% of their income for food. I know that’s a big difference between now and the 25% of income that our grandparents paid. But I’ll explain why. First of all most family were one income 50 years ago and families had to buy more food because “eating out” was a luxury and most families only ate out about once a month if that. When I lived with my parents and was in High School we only ate out 2 or 3 times a year, maybe.
The whole point of this blog post is to explain why most of us have a weight problem and that we shouldn’t just throw up our hands and give up. You can change your life and you can lose that excess fat and look better and feel better.
I write 4 blogs and I’ve written two E-books. E-books are the easiest and cheapest way to learn about any subject without groping through hundreds of website looking for the material you want.
My first e-book is “HowBadDoYouWantToLoseWeight” and it sells for $2.99 on most online bookstores like Amazon.com, BN.com, iBook, Kobo.com, Scribd.com, and Gardner books in the U.K.
My second e-book is available in the same stores. And on smashwords.com. If you use the smashwords' promotional code You can get my second book for $1.99 (TL96R). Just type in the search line “getting to a healthy weight”.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

-

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus...

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to ...
