Fool-Proof Weight Loss Regimen

This will be controversial to you all but It worked for me:
Eat no more than 20g of net carbs(total carbs minus the fiber) for the first 3 days and the human body will automatically switch to "Lipolysis" mode(fat-burning mode). A diabetic can eat additional carbs after the first 3 days as long as he/she continues not to gain weight. As you know, too many carbs will trigger insulin to flood the bloodstream to absorb glucose and be converted into fat cells. This is why eating a low carb/high protein regimen is best for diabetics.

As long as a person maintains a low carb regimen; eating foods high in fats(high/low density lipo-proteins except for transfats) will not make a diabetic gain weight. This means snacks like cheese, pork skin, butter and bacon is okay! It sounds crazy - i know i know! 90% of the health world will disagree. But the human body has several choices for fuel: protein, fat, alcohol, or carbohydrates...only the latter 2 will adversely affect the body's insulin level. But to each his/her own. If your technique works...don't let anybody tell you otherwise!

The Secret to Wealth - this is how the Ponzi game should be played.

The Secret to Wealth - this is how the Ponzi game should be played.

1. Find Access to Cheap Money:  with low interest rates that’s easy to service.
2. Buy Hard Assets - Precious Metals,  Real Estate, Commodities &  Antiques/Fine Art.
3. Hard Assets Appreciate via Inflation.  Debt is Monetized by Inflation. So paying off debt is easy!
4. Wash.  Rinse.  Repeat!

Final Thoughts:  If you can’t beat the Ponzi Bankers.  Join them.  Unless you know how the game is played: those who labor and keep their earnings as fiat money will suffer.  The wealthy invest cheaply borrowed money into the fruits of labor done by the working class.  Debt is monetized by the inflation of hard assets.  That’s how this ponzi game is played by the wealthy.

I think I just had an "aha" moment.

My neighbor on the 3rd floor is a nice guy but he's a devout Christian.  Another neighbor attended her father's funeral got me asking him where our souls go when we die.  His life evolves around the Gospel.  So he says that all non-believers go to Hell(even if you're a nice person).   I ask him, "Is there a reason for our souls being born?"  He proclaims,"If you  don't accept Christ than you go to Hell.  Christ died for our Sins."  I then asked him to explain,"Why do we still have Sin?"
He responds that it is our free will to choose:  Unless you believe in Jesus, you won't get a pass thru the gates of heaven.
We agreed that Hell is suffering.  We disagreed on the location.  I told him I believed that we create our own suffering.  You can make it a living Hell or choose to make your life a Happy Paradise.  Your soul being born embodied in this space-time creates your state of mind.  Your physical ability to interact with your surroundings plays an important role in this present moment we call,"Life".
Conclusion:   The choices you make Now affect your soul while you're alive and everything around you.  What happens when you die,"Who knows?"
That was my,"aha" moment.

Why Stimulus QE3 will be a huge Fail

Our American government initiated QE3  back in September 2012 to stimulate job growth via "deficit spending".  The Federal Reserve's QE3 game-plan  is to expand the money supply by purchasing mortgage backed assets as collateral - at a rate of a thousand million dollars per day indefinitely!    Our govt. does all the deficit spending while Americans are stuck with the bill.

QE3 won't work and here's why:
Deficit spending via monetary inflation(QE3) will only stimulate job/economic growth temporarily until the National Debt becomes too big to service.  That's because deficit spending merely adds on more debt than you already had before.  So this newer debt(QE3)  eventually ends up servicing the old debt leaving less currency to circulate in the economy.  This is known as monetary deflation.  This contraction of the money supply means less cash for Americans to buy new shoes & gadgets that facilitate job creation and real economic growth.  How can we grow the net worth of the American economy while growing new debt alongside of it?  The truth is that we can't.  For real economic income/net worth to happen we first must not create new debt.  Secondly, we must pay down our old debt.  This is called a balanced budget.

For an example:  let's say that you have a credit card debt.  Your income must be high enough to service that debt while you still have plenty cash leftover for you to participate in our economy by buying new gadgets and buying coffee at Starbucks.  If your credit card bill is your biggest expenditure...then you my poor friend are officially bankrupt!   Maintaining your lifestyle through borrowing only digs you deeper into debt,corrodes your net worth, and leaves you with less disposable income in the future.

Conclusion:  QE3/monetary inflation/deficit spending ultimately leads to the ballooning of our National Debt and will fail to boost our economy.  Servicing old debt with newer debt will ultimately lead to contraction of the monetary supply.  Monetary deflation leaves less cash in circulation for Americans to maintain their healthy lifestyle.  How will "helicopter Bernanke" prevent monetary deflation?  QE4 in 2013 of course!  QE4 will lead to price inflation via flooding the market with more consumers who are all chasing the same finite amount of goods & services.  More competition for finite resources mean higher prices.
