News Flash! This “just in” hot off the presses…
Researches now say that that Atkins and other low-carbohydrate diets do not help when it comes to staying thin. In a comparison between low-carbohydrate, low fat and reduced calorie diets, all participants started to regain weight after six months, and by twelve months there was little difference between the groups. “There is no clear evidence that Atkins-style diets are better than any others for helping people stay slim, despite the popularity and apparent success of the Atkins diet,” says Professor Arne Astrup of RVA University in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Ok…so maybe this is a bit melodramatic, but it drives home a point. We are living in a world of dietary confusion, a Land of Oz and make-believe, where facts are hard to find and commercial diets aim to keep us in a confused state and distract us from the truth. This is just one of the many barriers that people face when trying to lose weight.
So how are we expected to deal with all this dietary misinformation? Here is a suggestion. Ignore the hype, find a safe and healthy diet that makes good common sense, and stay with the plan for life. While this might not seem like any great revelation, it’s amazing how many dieters beat their heads against the wall struggling to lose weight, hoping that “this time” the results will be different. My friend, if this describes your experience with dieting, you are following the wrong plan and need to consider a different approach.
Think back for a moment about how many times you have heard that to lose weight you must be “disciplined” in your approach. Or to put it another way, to lose weight you must be willing to just give up eating your favorite foods (like ice cream) and dining at your favorite places (yes, those fast foods are definitely out of the question). If this ill-advice actually worked, The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics would no longer rank obesity as one of their leading health problems!!
It’s not that Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach or any other weight loss plan can’t help us to lose weight. Ask almost anybody, and they will tell you it’s a snap to lose a few pounds. And, in fact, it is! We have no problem at all losing weight on virtually any diet. The problem surfaces its ugly head when we step on the scale six months down the road. Our high hopes and aspirations for losing weight get crushed when we realize that our weight, like the prodigal son of Biblical report, has found its way back home.
Take a moment to consider this fact: According to a nationwide survey (Gardenburger Inc.) it is estimated that more than three-quarters of all women between the ages of 25 and 54 make a decision to lose weight each year. In this same survey, nine out of ten respondents reported disappointing long-term results (some respondents actually gained weight instead).
You see, losing weight is easy! Anyone on basically any diet can lose weight. The difficult and tricky part is in keeping the pounds from creeping back-on over time.
We’ve been misled with just about every possible explanation and cause for gaining weight, ad-infinitum. If it’s not our lack of commitment, then it’s our low self esteem, failing to plan, or for some other reason. You name it, and there’s an explanation out there! But, the truth be known, when it comes to getting and staying slim, most of these “explanations” don’t make much sense.
What really, really matters in the long run is whether our everyday eating habits and energy intake are in-balance with our everyday energy expenditure.
The reason 95% of commercial diets eventually fail is because they violate this simple principle. They are designed for the “quick fix”, not for normal everyday eating that can last a lifetime. Most commercial diets require additional time and effort to start and follow, and worse, attempt to deprive us of our favorite foods and stop us from eating at our favorite restaurants.
With our busy schedules and increasing demands both at home and work, trying to find even an extra 10 minutes a day can be a challenge. Spending hours, or even days trying to adjust to a new diet plan is not only unrealistic, but is a total waste of precious time!
We all love the novelty and intrigue of trying something different and starting the next new “fad” diet plan is no exception. But unfortunately, the outcome for most of these plans is unsatisfactory. Once the novelty and excitement wear off we’re usually right back to where we started.
Attempts to force-fit changes in our diet generally follow a pattern that goes something like this…
- We start a new diet program. Excitement runs high, we are motivated to the max, the pounds are dropping like crazy, and the World is a wonderful place.
- Our busy schedule gets even busier. There are kids to take care of, bosses to satisfy, and of course there are always those new diet guidelines to learn and follow.
- At some point we find ourselves smack-dab in the middle of a time management crisis, and looking for ways to save time.
- We decide to skip a few of the time consuming “special” diet meals and recipes “just this once”.
- Our “stash” of diet foods starts getting depleted, there’s no time for a full-blown grocery shopping experience, and we make the inevitable run to our local convenience store instead (ops……how did those snacks get into the grocery cart anyhow?).
…and so goes the story. We soon find that the restrictions, regulations and requirements of our new diet are incompatible with our normal eating habits. Before we even realize what’s happening we’re back to our old unhealthy, but more convenient way of eating. And the pile of dieting books and other special dieting paraphernalia we spend our hard earned money buying continues to grow.
The moral of the story is this; beware of diets that come loaded with all sorts of gimmicky and strange requirements and attempt to change our normal eating behavior. They are doomed to failure right from the start.
Find a diet that is practical, nutritious and in-balance with your everyday energy requirements. Do this, and you are guaranteed success!

I am sick, tired and I want a easy, quick food recipe! So if you know of one or more please tell me!
Boiled egg and a slice of bread
People who download a free Ebook or report are looking for
useful content that can help them to improve their business.
They don’t care who wrote it, as long as it is in their own
interest. Period.
You may like it or not, but it’s a fact that people only care
about THEMSELVES.
If you don’t agree with this, you should not even consider
distributing or writing a free Ebook, and skip this article.
Let me explain.
When I have downloaded another one of those “glorified
collection of affiliate links” reports, I get the impression
that the author is out for a quick buck, and I immediately
search for the EXIT button…
Result: the file moves to my trash bin, faster than you can say
“cash in” 
If your free Ebook or report has nothing valuable to offer…
…. then DON’T write it!
If you think that you’ll win by sowing a bunch of “click-me-
rich” links in your Ebook, you think unprofessional!
However, you can place affiliate links in your Ebook, and make
profits from them…
…. but you have to be EXTREMELY carefully.
Let me show you how to do it right…
If you use an affiliate link, do this so your readers will not
realize you are trying to sell them something.
You can “recommended” or “review” a product. Tell your readers
what you liked about the product that you endorse, and what the
product can do for THEIR business!
When you do this, be sure to select a product that offers value
-or assistance- to your target market.
If you do this, you will gain TRUST.
Without trust, your business is doomed to fail!
Here’s one example:
Suppose your Ebook or special report contains tips and recipes
to make better cakes.
Your Ebook will cater to people who like to cook, so you can
include a link to a bookstore that sells cooking books, or a
company that sells cooking material.
There’s nothing wrong doing this. It will be accepted, and
sometimes appreciated.
Just don’t EVER try to sell a product that you wouldn’t buy
yourself, or your reputation will be destroyed forever!
Got this? Okay, now never forget it!
Happy promoting!

One of the powerful tools in online “email” marketing is to build an opt-in mailing list. An opt-in mailing list is a database of peoples’ names and email addresses that have subscribed to an email list via a web form giving that list owner permission to send them periodic emails on the topic they are interested in. The best gift of this powerful tool is the possibility of being able to talk to people who are particularly interested in your product, service or organization.
This gaining popularity of building opt-in mailing list is known as Permission Email Marketing.
There are do’s and don’ts in starting your opt-in mailing list. Here are some of the most important tips worth mentioning:
DO’S
1.Put a subscription form prominently on your website. You can create your own subscription form using a software Sign-Up to’s form builder.
2.Inform people that they can subscribe to your email list on the signature of your normal work emails. This will enable it to link straight through the form on your website.
3.Ask people permission if they do want to be subscribed on your mailing list. As much as possible avoid being suspected for SPAM.
4.Open options for subscription especially during your interactions with them. Always be ready with your subscription cards if you run in on events.
5.Be clear on how people can benefit from subscribing and how often will you contact them. Make them know exactly what they will be receiving.
6.If you can, contact new subscriber as soon as you can. Welcome them with notes and tell them what to expect.
DON’T
1.Add everyone who has ever emailed you to your list. Always ask permission first.
2.Purchase lists that you are not 100% sure that are opt-in. Always have an evidence to prove the legitimacy of the opt-ins.
3. Abuse people’s trust. This is a sure way to ruin your brand and you. Soon enough they will ignore your messages.
Building your opt-in mailing list is cheaper than in sending direct mails. Printing, envelopes and paper used as material further add up to the cost. Here are some ways to effectively start your opt-in mailing list:
1.Free Newsletter. One of the most effective ways to build an opt-in list is to offer your online visitors freebies of value such as newsletter which will contain information that they can relate to such as tips, tools, recipes, travel itineraries and others.
2.Make it Easy to Subscribe. Provide easy steps for subscription so that subscribers may find it easy to do so and would not be discourage. For more subscribers, tell them the exact benefits they can get out of the subscription.
3.Quality Content. Be sure that what is written inside the newsletter, freebies and information found in your website are all of value to increase visitors dropping by your website.
4.Forums. Discussion boards and forums are all over the net. Try to actively participate in these boards especially those in the line of your interest or your business. Try to build your reputation with credibility.
5.Write articles. This makes you an instant expert in your chosen field of interest. You just have to play on it and use it well in your business goal.
6.Co-registration. A very effective way to build a monster list in a very short time.
7.Write an e-book. An excellent freebie for those who visited and subscribe in your mailing list. The e-book does not have to be expensively made or elaborate but it can be a compilation or a collection of best articles, business tips and resources.
In building opt-in mailing lists always keep in mind to offer something of value to your prospects. Remember opt-in lists are the foundations of most profitable internet business so do not miss chances for improvement and developing new strategies.
Having an opt-in list is not easy, it is hardwork but with some relieving advantages too. But to build an opt-in mail list has to be focused and effective in truly capturing the desired target. Take a look at these 10 Quick Easy Steps to Building A Highly Targeted and Responsive Opt-in List.
1.Choose your target market or niche. Remember you are not the only one competing in internet marketing; you have to be sure who your internet marketing is.
2.Be sure that you can reach your target audience online.
3.Do not waste on time on a non-profit investment or spending. Always monitor your spending.
4.Forums and discussion boards are available for maximum use. Find your target market problems.
5.Identify what is keeping your customers from getting what they want and help them get it.
6.Try offering your viewers solving some of their problems.
7.Set up a simple direct response mini-site.
8.Get an auto-responder account. It is important for you to acquire and set this thing up because this is where your visitors will come.
9.Bait your potential customers through giveaways like: ebooks, special reports, mini courses and coupons, etc.
10.Reach out in any way you can to your target market.
Opt-in building is a tedious work but with amazing results. The process of building it takes time and effort but persists. Always treat your “find” as a goldmine so that you will offer them the best deals in the market, those with great quality and value. Doing all these, would earn you credibility and a profitable business on the Internet.
