Default Why prudes will soon eat their food in the NUDE...

There's a new diet craze... The idea is - eating in the nude!

I tried it, and found it didn't work for me. I found that whenever I ate in the nude... the McDonald's staff would call the cops! Ha!

Seriously.... Apparently it's another of those "fad diets"... The theory goes, if you eat in the nude, you'll be more self-conscious of how you look, and be more likely to eat less. (Not to mention you'll be less likely to snack when you're out!)

Not sure how office-workers would eat their lunch though... Maybe it would help make all the employees at the office feel closer too? Office romances will skyrocket...

Here are a few more...

The FLASH DIET. The idea is that you take a picture of your food before you eat it. (It's easy to do with a digital camera.) It's a little like a picture diary method... I think it's been proven that people who keep food diaries of what they eat tend to lose weight...

Use SMALLER PLATES. Apparently actress/model Liz Hurley uses this one. With a smaller plate, you feel like you're eating more, when you're really eating less...

More ideas at this article...

Lose Weight With A Naked Lunch

Of course, diets and weight loss are big business... Pretty soon some sexy gal or guy will become the new "nude food" guru... I'm pretty sure it will happen!

Default Re: Why prudes will soon eat their food in the NUDE...

Hmmm.... Why do most folks think of nudism in terms of eroticism? In truth the erotic part is baloney and a product of pornographers and Hollywood B.S. Nudism is primarily an acceptance of our bodies as they were created/designed without false modesty. Yes, guys, I know...it also includes a normal, healthy reaction to viewing an attractive person. Nudist camps, in fact, are not totally real either...they require a towel to cover any visible effects.

Most nudist camps and facilities are very family-oriented, in fact. Children just naturally accept their bodies unless they've been indoctrinated to feel shame and repulsion. We are, after all, when stripped of the artificiality, animals the same as others, albeit with increased cranial refinement and capacity (and sometimes much less common sense than other animals).

As for WATCHING the body as we eat, I wouldn't recommend it unless you are standing up. Who wants to watch even the tightest abdomen wrinkle and roll with the ingestion/digestion of food? Try it sometime. Ugh! So, I doubt if the nude diet will get much support ultimately.

The smaller plate idea does work, as I can attest. It also helps to use smaller serving spoons and spatulas when retrieving food for the plate. One tends to take less onto the plate that way.

Eating slower will also help as it gives our bodies time to get the message back to us: 'hey, I've had enough!' when we are eating. When we over-ride this feedback mechanism, we chronically over eat and get indigestion and bloated feeling as a result.

The idea of half hour lunch times is a bad joke and encourages bad eating habits. 45 minutes should be minimum, l hour is much healthier. One day, after waiting for 15 minutes for my food to be prepared and served, I had ten minutes to eat it and five minutes for a quick restroom visit before being back to work. As a diabetic, I HAD to eat my food...going without was not an option. A fellow diner commented on me eating so fast so I asked him what he would've done given the same circumstances. He did not reply and went back to consuming his meal. Uh-huh. Not always what it seems, is it?

Default How NAKED Chocolate Suppresses Appetite-You Lose Wgt

Hi Dien,

Thanks.

As you know, I interview self made millionaires from around the world. Then SHARE what they're doing to make Extra Munny - with my clients.

Just met a guy named Jeremy.

He's made 2 million dollars over the past 3 years.

He gives away 12 pieces of NAKED or Raw Cocoa chocolate to each Workshop attendee. No refined sugar. No milk. (It tastes sweet. Not bitter. He's mixed it with Blue Berries.)

DIRECTIONS:

Take 2 pieces of "Healthy chocolate" before meals. Scientific Tests show that the natural appetite suppressant qualities of Chocolate will Reduce what you eat by 30%.

You eat less.

You LOSE Weight.

Makes a lot of sense.

I bought a box. And ate all 140 pieces in 2 weeks. Good thing the darn stuff doesn't have any sugar or milk in it.

================
================
ACTION SUMMARY:

I've got clients ALREADY giving away "regular" chocolate as a Thank you to clients.

So.

We're switching them over to this "Healthy" chocolate stuff.

Jeremy just built a "NAKED Chocolate Factory" in Australia. In addition to the one in the USA. #1 Company in Belgium makes their chocolate.

Let me know if you'd like to TRY some.

I'll call Jeremy and find out how you can get some NAKED Chocolate "Down Under."

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn

Hi Glenn,

Thanks... I'd love to know more about where I could get some "NAKED" chocolate! (Maybe unsweetened cooking chocolate could be used? Hmm...)

Businesswise, his "NAKED" chocolate certainly makes a great USP, and would help him to stand out from the crowd!

Thanks again Glenn - your stories are always an inspiration!

Cheers

Dien

Default Why Give away 14 Boxes of Healthy Chocolate in 3 weeks?

Dear Dien,

Thanks.

You LUCKY Aussie you.

I just learned the "HEALTHY Chocolate" company just built a shipping center in Sidney. So you don't pay shipping fees from the USA.

I've given away 14 boxes of 140 chocolate squares per box VITAMIN Chocolate in 3 weeks.

WHY?

Because when I use it as an Incentive or ADDED VALUE - my customers BUY More...

The fact that the darn stuff is ADDICTIVE and folks Order More is part of my Golden Rule Give-away Strategy - true.

I've eaten a box in 2 weeks. Tastes like Godiva level chocolate. But has Zero milk or refined sugar in it.

ANYWAY...

If you really wanna' TRY IT YOURSELF...

(I'll get a name and # down-under for you.) As I said before - I spent an hr with a guy who has made 2 mil selling this "Healthy Chocolate" - Raw Cacoa, ocai and blue berries.

Jeremy says he's coming to Australia.

As for me...

Everybody Who eats some sends me HAPPY notes like...

"Dear Glenn, I don't usually email on Sunday. But I'm breaking my rule to tell you the Chocolate is DAMN good. As good as that expensive Belgian stuff I've been eating. Larry" (HE gave me the OK to share.)

Glenn

==============================

The RAW Chocolate seems to have other PAIN REDUCTION Benefits too - based on these Testimonials...

So far... My customers report similar results...

IF I hadn't Done my Due Diligence I'd not share this here.

Default Dien - Who to call *Down Under* to get some Naked Chocolate

[quote=Dien Rice;22429]Hi Glenn,

Thanks... I'd love to know more about where I could get some "NAKED" chocolate!

=========
Dear Dien,

Thanks for your patience.

I had to call 5 people.

But I found the phone # of a lady named Tara Davidson - living in Australia on the Gold Coast in a town called, Toronto.

Tara Davidson - Ph from USA is 011-61-24-959-4630

A - I just met a man who has lost over 30 pounds without doing anything but eat this chocolate - 2 pieces before meals.

B - Lots of Testimonials - that I'm trying to recreate myself.

C - THIS Chocolate is RAW Cacao - Blue Berries and Ocai Berries. Without refined Sugar or milk. Yet tastes like The Hi-Priced stuff.

I've eaten 2 boxes of it in 3 weeks - hasn't hurt me. But I've weighed 150 my whole life. I'm not a good test subject.

Lemme know how you make out.

Glen thanks for finding A number.

I have lived on the Gold Coast for years. There is no Town nor Suburb called Toronto. There is a Sorento - but - phone numbers for the Gold Coast start with 55, not 49 - for Aust calls we would use the last 8 digits and then put a Zero in front of the 2, to get 02 4959 4630 as the number.

There is a Toronto. It's down near the city of Newcastle - a 9 hour drive south of the Gold Coast - and in a different state. The 02 4949 matches Toronto numbers. So That is probably correct. Just not the bit about it being on The Gold Coast.

And here is an Article about her
http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/...097533882.html

And this would appear to be the Main Distributor's central internet presence for Australia http://www.xocai.com.au/

Might be like David Wolfe's http://www.davidwolfe.com naked Chocolate http://www.sunfood.com and here directly http://www.sunfood.com/Categories/1/...ocolate/5.aspx

Michael,

It might also be referring to Toronto, Ontario Canada...

That's eastern Canada, about 8 hrs or so from my good ol' Montreal Quebec...

Default Nah, ain't Canadia

Nah... not Toronto, CA. The Country Code on the phone numnber gives it away +61 is Australia. Throw in the first four digits and area code for double checking, the person's name as well... and, well... be pretty odd for all those to match over in Canadia
