4 Keys to Weight Loss

Posted by Aaron W.

The National Weight Loss Registry has comprised a list of 4 keys to weight loss, based off their study of over 5,000 participants who have lost weight (over 30 lbs) and kept it off (at least 1 year).

On being a vegetarian (two) (316/365)From Science Daily:

Vegetarians experience a 36 percent lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome than meat-eaters, suggests new research from Loma Linda University published in the journal Diabetes Care.

Metabolic syndrome is defined as exhibiting at least three out of five total risk factors: high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, high glucose levels, elevated triglycerides, and an unhealthy waist circumference.

What they found:
  • only 25% of vegetarians had metabolic syndrome
  • 39% of meat eaters had metabolic syndrome
  • Vegetarians have lower triglycerides, glucose, blood pressure, waist circumference and BMI
"This work again shows that diet improves many of the main cardiovascular risk factors that are part of metabolic syndrome," says Gary Fraser, MD, PhD, principal investigator of Adventist Health Study 2. "Trending toward a plant-based diet is a sensible choice."

    I know I'm contributing to an old discussion, but I really want to share my story with y'all if that's OK.

    If there's one online income source I like talking about most, it's definitely self-publishing on Amazon. I'm normally a pretty modest guy but I've gotta say… I rock at self-publishing!

    I've increased my monthly income from nothing to nearly $2K in less than three years just from selling books on Amazon... and I was making a grand a month within a year.

    The post on how I make money self-publishing has been one of the most popular on my personal blog so I wanted to update it with everything I've learned over the last few years. I've included updates on how to turn your books into a passive source of income and how to make the whole process easier.

    Ok, so $2K a month isn't huge money but it's getting there and it's growing very quickly.

    If you want to learn more about making money with Kindle then check out "KindleBucks.com" which is the #1 Amazon Kindle Training out there.

    I can't recommend it enough. That's how I got started almost three years ago.
