Carbon Copy ScamI have had 365 to freedom dot com in my Google reader for some reason, and couple of days ago Walt over there posted his monthly earnings report.

What caught my eye is that for second month he is making almost $2000 from “Carbon Copy” program. Wow, I thought. It is some nice earnings, but why didn’t I see anybody else making money with them.

So I googled the term and everything I could find so far is either their affiliates or scam reports that blame Carbon Copy for being very expensive and the they stole their system from some other system. So they give URLs to other scam reports which ended up being landing page for different MLM.

So where can we get the truth about them?

It would be really nice to here from somebody reputable in making money online field, somebody from top of http://www.45n5.com/top100/ list, like problogger.net/ , shoemoney.com/ or johnchow.com/ . Those guys earned their credibility and would review the program honestly, I hope.

For a while I wanted to write about weight losing success of guy I worked with. He has been with us for about 6 months. When I saw that guy every day at work I didn’t really notice that his weight was changing, but when after 6 month I asked him how much weight he actually lost during that time and he told me that it was like 33 lbs from his 220 lbs!!!

When he first started working with up we would hang out together and he told me that he was trying to loose some weight for some time without much of success. So I shared with him my experience in that subject, I told him about one book I read a while ago and kind of summed up the system that book described.

The book is call Natural Hormone Enhancement by Rob Faigin.

To simplify the system looks like this. You trick your body so it starts burning fat by eating no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates a day for 7 days. After that you eat in cycle like this, 40-60 grams of carbohydrates a day for two days. Last meal or two on third day should be loaded with carbohydrates, preferably without protein, then 3 more days with 40-60 grams of carbohydrates a day, and seventh day of the week iscarb day again.

You do not need to count neither calories nor fats.

For example Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday you eat 60 grams of carbs and you load up carbs on Wednesday and Sunday. Pick your own days of the week as you wish.

If you slip, had two carb days in row or so then you need to start again with that full week of just 20 grams of carbs a day.
This system is a little difficult to follow especially if you eat your lunches in restaurants like I often do. But after some time it worked out just fine. Frankly I slipped off that cycle so many times especially around the Holidays. And now again I have to start over again.

It is interesting to see how people get excited around New Year time and get themselves sparkling New Year Resolution every year and how they immediately forgot to follow it.
What stroke me is looking at search trend for common resolution terms search volume in January drops back to what it was in December. Here is couple of examples:

Search for “diet”:
diet search volume

Search for “fitness”:

Search for “weight”:

What do you think?

This funny story about how Bumbling carjackers could not start BMW reminded me of story of one of my coworkers. He is primarily Nissan – Infinity kind of driver, never owned anything European.

So couple of years ago this guy went for trip to Germany and decided to rent some brand new 750i. Then, he was telling that, he just sat there in the car for like 30 minutes unable to start that car, embarrassed to ask anybody until he tried all the options he could think of and to read the manual in German which he did not understand. Exhausted he turned for help to some cab driver who knew some English.

And of course it was something very simple he just needed to apply the brake pedal.

On another side of the “keys” topic. Look at this video, those guys found that way to scan the BMW locks.
