Sugar Busters

February 28th, 2009

Looking for the right diet for your needs? Well, this is not always so easy, especially with the many diets out there to consider. From the Atkins Diet to Sugar Busters diet, there are so many diets out there; however, today we want to take a closer look at the Sugar Busters Diet and all it has to offer. If you are considering this diet, keep reading to find out how the diet works, the people it does the best for, and all the pros and cons of using this diet in your own life.

Sugar Busters Overview

The Sugar Busters Diet and books has been developed by four different authors, including Samuel Andrews, MD, H. Leighton Steward, Luis Balart, MD, and Morrison Bethea, MD. They published this book themselves and all of them are from the city of New Orleans. Basically the diet focuses on getting rid of anything that has too much sugar content in it, since it can cause problems with the biochemical system in the body. The authors also promise that you will get more energy, lower your cholesterol levels, you’ll feel better, and treat a variety of different diseases with this diet.

People Who It Works for Best

Those who do the best with this diet is those who really do need to cut sugar out of their lives, such as those dealing with diabetes. People who need to lower their cholesterol can also find some great results with this diet as well. However, this diet may not be for everyone, since it really is quite restrictive, just like many other diets out there today.

Pros and Cons of Sugar Busters

When it comes to the Sugar Busters diet, there are many different pros and cons that come along with this diet. If you are not sure it is for you, you should take a look at the pros and the cons of this diet and figure out if it really is going to be a great choice for you when you go on a diet. Here are some of the pros and cons of this diet that you need to consider for yourself.

- Pro #1 – Very Simple to Use – Probably one of the biggest pros about this Sugar Busters diet is that it is simple for everyone to use. You don’t have to worry about counting carbs, you don’t have to measure out foods, and there are no different phases of the diet to worry about. You can easily follow this very basic diet, and while it may not be an easy diet, it definitely is a simple one to follow.

- Pro #2 – Plenty of Fiber – Another pro to this diet is that there is plenty of fiber in the diet, which is definitely important. Also, you get plenty of fruits, veggies, and grains, which means you’ll get the phytonutrients that you need as well. So, you’ll be getting all the nutrients needed to keep your body health.

- Pro #3 – Low Amount of Saturated Fat – The fact that this diet is low in saturated fat is a big pro as well. While it really doesn’t emphasize this much, the foods that you eat are low in the saturated fats, which is important if you want to keep your body healthy.

- Con #1 – No Individual Variation for the Diet – There are cons to this diet as well, and one of them is that there is really no variation in the diet for individuals. This can be an issue since many people have different glucose tolerances. So, if you are looking for a diet that can be changed to your body, this is not the one for you.

- Con #2 – The Book is Not easy to Understand – The book on the Sugar Busters diet is not so easy to understand, which is a big con. It can be really hard to figure out this diet by reading the book and it doesn’t really explain to readers how to incorporate the diet into their life.

- Con #3 – Relies Too Much on the Glycemic Index – Many people feel that this diet relies to heavily on the glycemic index, which can be a problem. Also, the diet is not consistent when using the glycemic index either, which can definitely be confusing.

Dairy products, nuts, and olive oil is allowed. In small portions you are allowed to eat breads that are whole grain as well as whole grain pastas. However, the simple carbs, such as white rice, potatoes, pasta, white bread, and most sugars are not allowed in this diet.

Also, there can be several different side effects with this diet, such as fatigue, irritability, liver damage, weakness, and even kidney damage.

Holiday Inn Vacation Part II

February 28th, 2009

For those who didn’t read part I, I’ve wrote that I live in an Akumal Villa and that I decided to spent Holidays with my boyfriend’s family in Merida; a long distance city.

After hours of nearly dying from starvation and having literally robbed food from the forbidden to not family members table, we had dinner, asked for posada (Mexican Holiday tradition) and fist hitted a piñata! I was tired! So I begged to be taken to bed, in the moment I missed my Akumal Villa.

Since we didn’t had a place to stay in Merida and we brought our dog with us, we decided to start looking for motels or any drive in hotel type where we could infiltrate our dog, since Mexican normal hotels don’t accept dogs, in fact dogs are not welcome indoors anywhere. We finally found a holiday inn type of hotel where the infiltration was easy!

Missing my family on the 25th morning was very sad, so I thought about my Akumal villa to feel better, somehow the thought of my home made me felt better. But it was inevitable not tho think of my family reunions on the 25th mornings; were I would all gathered to watch traditional seasonal movies until lunchtime. I cannot remember feeling that way since summer camp’s infinite homesickness.

I needed to return to my Akumal villa for starters and maybe rent a season movie and take advantage of technology and meet my mom and brother over email or whatever! I needed my family there with me.

Crisis Of Credit

February 26th, 2009

What is the COC? I’ll tell you what it is. It’s the crisis of credit which has started to overwhelm the whole world!

The main issues of the crisis of credit are the sub-prime mortgage, the collateralized debt obligations, the frozen credit markets and the credit default swamps.

And the problem with that is that everyone is affected!

There are two groups of people in this world:

1.The home owners, who are in direct relation with mortgages, which are linked with their houses.
2.The investors, who are in direct relation with money, which are linked with large institutions (pension funds, insurance companies, mutual funds etc.)

These groups are brought together by the financial system, commonly known as Wall St.

The banks are connected to the houses, because the mortgage lenders hire brokers in order to convince people who want a house, to give a down payment and a monthly mortgage. A couple of days later the lender receives a call from the investment banker who wants to buy the mortgage. After he does that with thousand of mortgages, he receives the monthly payments from the homeowners. This amount of money is called “the collateralized debt obligations” (CDO). The banker decides now to sell the CDO to different kind of investors. On the other hand, if the owners of a new home decide to default, the investors end up with the house, but that’s not a problem as he can put it up for sale.

And because the houses’ value always grows and because everything goes so well, investors decide to take a risk and stop requiring down payments, or any proof of income, or any documents at all. So instead of lending to responsible home owners, called prime mortgages, they start getting people that are less responsible, called sub-prime mortgages.

And this is the turning point!

Not surprisingly, the home owners default on their mortgage, which at this moment is owned by the banker. This means that one of his monthly payments turns into a house. That’s not a big deal, because he puts it up for sale. The problem is that more and more of his monthly payments turn into houses and because there are now more houses for sale than is needed, their value starts decreasing.

This situation becomes a problem for the owners who are still paying the mortgage because they now see how the houses that are put up for sale become cheaper and cheaper and along with them, their house as well. This is the point when they start asking themselves why they’re paying the bank the $400.000 mortgage when their house values now only $190.000. As a result, they decide to default as well.

The banker remains now with a bunch of worthless houses and there’s no other investor who would buy his CDO, because he has already bought one from other banker and there’s nothing he can do with it now. On the other hand, the lender calls the banker, trying to sell his mortgage, but the baker obviously says “no” and the broker is now out of order.

The whole financial system is frozen! Everybody starts going bankrupt. This is the point when the investor calls the homeowner and tells him that his investments are worthless.

This is the way the crisis flows in a circle. But now is the moment when I come to tell you that there is still hope! If you order our “Wealth from crisis package” you’ll be able to surpass the COC and even become really rich!

The package includes Training Guides that expose the secrets behind internet millionaires, Training Videos to teach you step by step and turn you into an Internet guru and Ready made and profitable Websites!
