Turn Off the Fat Genes – A Book Review – Diet
Turn Off the Fat Genes - A Book Review
David Snape
Once in a while a good title comes along and "Turn Off the Fat Genes" is one of those titles that just have to be written about. If you are not familiar with Dr. Neal Barnards work, he has been writing about how to lose weight on a high carbohydrate diet for at least a decade now.
Im amazed, as you might be, that his work is not better known. There are a number of advantages to using a high carb diet and as many disadvantages to the low carb/ high protein diets.
There is some great research in his books that document the ability to lose weight on a high carbohydrate diet, which may also be healthier in the long run than the ever-popular low carbohydrate diets.
You might think it surprising, as I do, that more people are not using high carb diets to lose weight. You might also conclude that this is solely due to a lack of awareness on the part of the public.
Turn of the Fat Genes, written by Dr. Neal Barnard features over 150 pages of menus and recipes. The recipe and menu section is very comprehensive and you can definitely find recipes that will delight you out of such a large compilation.
Dr. Bernard discusses the concept that some of the genes that shape and influence us as human beings are themselves subject to influence. The genes that affect taste, appetite and metabolism are subject to the influence of the foods that we eat.
Not only are they subject to influence, the proper use of foods can mean that you dont have to sacrifice and starve yourself of decent nutrition. You can modify your diet, eat perhaps even more frequently and still enjoy weight loss. Does that sound incredible It is real. You might feel incredulous because the masses of people out there have been told that low carb is the way to go.
I have been following some of the suggestions in one of Dr. Barnards books and I can tell you that a high carb diet can help you lose weight. Using his suggestions, I can eat a lot of food frequently and I still seem to stay thin.
To give you an idea of what kind of information "Turn Off the Fat Genes" can provide you with, here is a list of some of the Chapter titles:
Taste Genes: Broccoli and Chocolate
Appetite and the Leptin Gene
The Fat-Building Gene
Fat-Burning: Turning the Flame Higher
How Genes Influence Your Exercise
Children and the Fat Genes
Food Choices for Optimal Weight Control
Dr. Barnard writes, "Contrary to popular opinion, scientific research reveals that genes are not dictators; they are committees. They do not give orders. They make suggestions. Genes are not rogue tyrants exerting despotic control over your waistline. Rather, they work in groups, often with subtle effects, and you can nudge them in the direction you want them to go. You can counteract the fat genes and boost your thin genes."
In ancient times, Hippocrates said, "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food." Of course we arent really talking about healing as much as we are discussing losing weight, but the principle applies.
One thing I learned from another of Dr. Barnards books is that carbohydrates dont make people fat. It is fat that makes people fat. And it makes sense. Carbohydrates pack around 4 calories per gram and fats have about 9 calories per gram.
By the way, even though it is correct terminology, the fact is that the calories discussed here are actually thousands of calories. In nutrition they decided to make a calorie equal to 1,000 real life calories as measured for energy.
Anyway I dont want to confuse anyone, because the RDA is based on nutrition calories, also known as Calories, but no one capitalizes the C as should be done. You can just keep thinking of calories as calories and dont worry about the technicalities.
Back to the story. Dr. Barnards books on high carb diets are great reading and may inform you about healthier weight loss than you are currently use to. Did I mention the recipe list

Can You Really Make A Fortune Off Of Reprint Rights – Domain Name
Can You Really Make A Fortune Off Of Reprint Rights
Willie Crawford
Visit Ebay or any of ten thousand other websites and youll see people offering reprint rights everywhere. They all tell you that with their great reprint rights youll be in business instantly with "your own product" and that you get to keep all of the money.
By can you really make money selling reprint rights and is it worth your time
Let me give you a few examples from my personal experience, and then you be the judge....
Ill start with the most recent rights I bought first. After reading Paul Hancox ebook "Small changes: Big Profits - How to quickly and easily make more sales from your website," I saw that he offered reprint rights for only $149. This product had a suggested retail price of $27, which I had gladly paid and I was very satisfied with the product.
To digress a little... one of my criteria for buying reprint rights is that I have to have actually used the product FIRST. I wont offer my list something that I have not seen, read, touched, experienced, and enjoyed. I suggest that if you are going to offer your list a product that you adopt the same rule.
Anyway.... I reasoned that if I invested $149 in Pauls reprint rights I only needed 6 sales to break even. So it wasnt a very big risk. Therefore I went for it! I sent a mailing to my list but before I even did that, I began mentioning the book in personal emails to clients and friends. In less than a day I had tripled my money. After sending a mailing to my I list had multiplied my money by some embarrassing number of times!
This product was the type of reprint rights that I like to buy. Its a product that I know is needed.... I can put up a simple sales page and I know that the product will sell itself for years to come. I know that with very little effort Ill earn over $1000 a month in profits from that simple product. You can check it out at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/thebook/ to see how simple my marketing is for this ebook.
Another product that I market the same way is a $19 interview on how to host your own seminars and teleseminars. Fred Gleeck who has done over 1350 seminars was interviewed by Jim Lanford and they recorded it. When Audrey Lanford decided to sell her business at WZ.com she offer reprint rights to Freds interview. The rights were less than $150...if I am not mistaken.
I run ads for this interview/ebook in various targeted ezines and mention it on a few of my sites. It routinely earns me $500 to $1000 per month. All this with very little effort on my part because the product sells itself. You can see how I have this set-up at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/your-own-seminar.html
A third example of how simple it can be, is that I purchased the reprint rights to Bob Serlings Power Copywriting For The Internet from Corey Rudls Internet Marketing Center. These rights cost me just under $1000 and the suggested retail price for the course is $147. It took me less than a month to recoup my investment, and every month I do very well with that product too. You can check it out at: http://PowerCopyWritingForTheInternetByBobSerling.com
Notice with that last example how I got a domain name that had my keywords in it and that its fairly easy to remember... if you know the copywriter That domain name costs me less than $8 per year and my hosting is only $5 per month. Thats for something that semi-automatically generates over $1000 per month :-
I could give you numerous other examples, but wont. You get the point. I put on a teleseminar on buying and selling reprint rights a while back and recorded that teleseminar. I then turned the teleseminar into another income stream as well as offered reprint rights to it! Do you see how easy this can be That teleseminar with myself and internet marketing expert and lawyer Dr. Bob Silber took less than 2 hours to do, and also generates an embarrassing amount each month. You can check it out at: http://AmazingProfitsBuyingAndSellingReprintRights.com ... another clever name :-
I mentioned that you can grab domain names for as little as $8 per year and host them for as little as $5 per month. I get my domain names through my own registration service at: http://williecrawford.com/domains/ I host many of my sites at Host4Profit. You can check them out at: http://WillieCrawford.com/myhost.html
So now Ive convinced you that you can do well with the correct reprint rights! The key again is to know and love the product. Know that it will provide your customers with genuine value. Check out my teleseminar for more tips on both buying and selling reprint rights at: http://AmazingProfitsBuyingAndSellingReprintRights.com
I did come across some terrific reprint rights this week that I will recommend. They are offered by Rebecca Hagel. She is only offering 20 licenses total, so you wont face crazy competition. I really love her material! You can check out Beckys reprint rights at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/becky.html
To answer my question, "Can you really make a fortune off of reprint rights" ... that depends upon your definition of "fortune." However, I generate several very nice income streams from reprint rights, as Ive just shared with you. I know many others doing the same. I dont see why you cant too.
