The Swiss Diet

Of 33 OECD countries, Switzerland has the 3rd lowest rates for obesity behind Japan and South Korea.
The Swiss eat about 10 Kg of chocolate per person per year, more than anyone else in the world and they eat loads of cheese and full cream milk.
So how is it that in the land of chocolate and cheese, Swiss women stay so slim?
This book examines the Swiss diet and life style. It explains why most diets do not work and why the Swiss Diet does. Using the Swiss women as an example and the latest research about obesity and modern diseases The Swiss Diet will show how you can eat real foods without putting on weight.
It explains why counting calories and eating low fat will never work. It debunks the idea you just have to eat less and do more to lose weight and explains why sweating it out at the gym is not the answer.
I have created a separate web site dedicated to promoting healthy eating following the principles in my book and a blog with the latest research on diet and health. The Swiss Diet

the problem with airbnb
ISBN-13-9780987320551​

Airbnb is an internet-based listing service where people can advertise their spare rooms to strangers for short stays. At least this was the original idea.
BUT, that original idea of renting out a spare room and offering a bed and breakfast has turned into something much more ambitious. Now Airbnb competes with older established whole property vacation rental websites like Home Away, VRBO and Holiday Lettings
The plan for people to invite tourists to stay in their spare room was a brilliant idea but the new style Airbnb, which has grown exponentially in scope and value, is something else.
Is it really a good deal for hosts or for tourists or is it all marketing hype?
