Inedia: the alleged ability to live without food
Breatharianism: a related concept, in which believers claim food and possibly water are not necessary
Ok, there is a lot to say about these two diet ideas...i dont know where to start. I guess I can start by saying this is completely rediculous. People who belive this, think this will work becuase they can live on the energy of the sunlight....right.....In medical studies many people who have tried this have died...honestly is that really suprising. Its medically known and proven that people need food and water to live i dont know why the people who choose to do this think otherwise!
A famous Advocate of Breatharianism Ellen Greve (who, not by suprise, changed her name to Jasmuheen...no comment) claimed she could go for months and months drinking nothing but a cup of occasional tea and claimed her body ran on a different type of nurishment...
When 60 minutes came to inspect her house they found a ton of food but of course claimed it was just for her husband (husband?! who would put up with this). What 60 minutes did was put her in a nice hotel to show the world her methods. She failed on the first day becuase of the pollution of the air outside due to the heavy traffic. After all she does get 70% of her nutrients from the air....So 60 minutes put her in a mountain retreat and after 4 days the doctor urged her to stop saying kidney failure was sure to happen and was on the verge of dehydration.
The loon..oh i mean Jasmuheen, also claims her DNA was changed from 2 to 12 strands to "absorb more hydrogen". So 60 minutes let her stop then offered her $30,000 for a blood test to see if what she was claiming was real...she denied explaining she did not understand the relevance.

Another Blog For My Marketing Class "internet marketing laws and regulations"
So, my group was assigned to learn about internet marketing laws and regulations and make a presentation in class about it. We already did the presentation but we also have to post some information and links about the topic on our blog. As of now there really are no interenet marketing laws and regualtions but many organizations are trying to make them. Privacy is a huge issue when it comes to marketing online. Companies will pretty much do anything to get the information they need about their target market or about who is looking at their website, for how long, how many times and to see what other pages on their website they visited (this can be easily done by anyone, not just companies, through google analytics...in fact i have google analytics on my page right now). To share some information about privacy online and other marketing law and regualtion facts I found some useful pages. Click on the links below and enjoy :)

Its obvious crazy diets dont work...but this does....
1)Choosing to change: From the inside out.
2)Education: What you dont know can hurt you.
3)Getting Started: The pain of discipline vs. the pain of regret.
4)Preparation: Setting and achieving realistic goals.
5)Making the right choices: You make a choice and it then makes you.
6)Prioritizing your life: First things first.
7)Lasting changes: Maintaining your results

Sacred Heart Chapel Post
This post is for my class......
Assignment: How would you improve this SHU Chapel site given the format limitations?
For anyone reading who wants to view the website click here.
So, to imrove the chapel website I would completely change the format. I think the top center should be the picture of what it will look like with a quote directly underneath it. The links should be placed centered going down with pictures of construction on the side and it should definatly be wider. They have to have a huge grey borders that are not necessary. In general the site itsnt that bad considering it has to abide by the school template but if it did not have to do that it would look A LOT better......
thats alllllllllllllll

Biggest Loser Season Winner- Ali
This is Ali before.......
This is Ali after.....
Throughout her journey on the show, Ali lost 112 lbs. These contestants did not starve themselves, they were taught how to eat right and work out hard. This is how someone should really diet. It is unrealistic to say you cant go out to eat or there are no healthy alternatives to snacks, you just have to choose the right ones. For instance if you like popcorn, there are now 100 calorie packs of popcorn which taste just as good as the real thing. So learn from Ali and the other biggest loser contestants, dont let diets ruin your life! Eat well and workout and you will see results. Here are before and after photos of some other contestents.....

And after........

Vquzeshuf....these changes are amazing...ill show you more next post from this season that just ended and previous seasons as well!

I'm going to now post a diet ad at every post for your enjoyment :)


This week I found a quote from wikipedia that I though explained what a diet fad exactly was and here is it "A fad diet is believed by its practitioners to improve health. It is often promoted by parties that publish books about the diet, or sell specialized ingredients or supplements that are part of the diet, despite being unconfirmed by legitimate scientific studies. A fad diet may do nothing at all, or even have an adverse result if it is nutritionally unbalanced or otherwise unhealthy. Weight loss experts such as Richard Simmons, who tried numerous diets in his youth at the cost of his health, strongly discourages them as not only unhealthy, but also counter-
productive in the long term." For more helpful imformation read the whole article here.

I just googled that word VQUZESHUF, and only one blog is showing up. So i figured i would say VQUZESHUF a few times in my blog to see if it shows up. I think its wierd becuase everyone in my class has this word somewhere in there blog but only one is showing. I wonder how google searches the word to leave the others out.VQUZESHUF.
This week i thought it would be nice to explain myths that you may of heard that makes you fat. First off, eventhough i thought this was true, eating after 7pm will not make you fat. Health professionals claim that the reason people eat at night and may gain weight is becuase they skip meals during the day and therefore their metabolism slows down. So if you need that late night snack go ahead eat it, but as long as youve eaten ur three meals that day. Another one is that its OKAY to treat yourself once a week. Treating yourself to something you want once a week is healthy and a good idea when dieting. If that treat turns into a splurge, do not starve yourself the next day. People may thing that skipping breakfast the next day will make it "even", but that is the worst thing you could do. So if you do a little more than treat yourself one day, get back on track the next. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, have a breakfast a light lunch then a healthy dinner.

When dieting, many people will look around for "low fat" or "fat free" foods, but is this really an effective way to diet? It has been found that there is no corolation between the relationship between fat calories eaten and fat tissue on a person’s body. The truth is that ANY type of calorie can be converted into fat. For example, sugar is a fat free food if you eat a lot of it, you will gain weight. So don't let the fat free or low fat foods trick you. Keep that in mind next time you attemp a crazy, noneffective diet fad : )
