Poll of the Day > Going to publish my eBook soon on Amazon...

(+) Yeah! (+)

OK, so I just published the eBook and the paperback, both will take 72 hours.

I priced the eBook at $2.99, and the paperback at $5.99 (the minimum you can charge for paperback is around $4).

Obviously, prices will change if they don't sell.

The paperback turned out to be 140 pages since I made the font bigger. The eBook is automatically converted, you don't really change the font size for that.

Where did you research this information?
How long did you research for?
I'm uncomfortable knowing this was so easy.
Did you have an editor or someone proof it or all selfdone?

Why do you need to be so uptight? Is everyone on this board so left wing?

Yes, I researched. How long? Doesn't matter how long, the book was short and its purpose was to answer several questions, the amount of time it took was appropriate to answer the questions.

You should be more worried about the quacks on Joe Rogan's show who tell everyone to eat a high saturated fat diet.

You really don't need a lot of research to know that fiber and plant based foods are good for you. And the fact is, sugar doesn't increase your weight more than anything else; there's nothing inherently fattening about sugar. It doesn't get stored as fat as readily as fat in a mixed diet; in a mixed diet, dietary fat will get stored as fat first. Sugar will not.

Do people need to be like little children and can't research/think for themselves?

Don't get so worked up. Ignorance and mindless following is rampant on PotD. Just look at the number of posters (and which ones) constantly feel the need to repeat the same lame attempts at insulting other posters.

When you have the anti-vaxxer defending your research, you know it's time to give it up.

I guess so, but its a WEIRD mentality for people to have that they react to someone writing a book by implying it "shouldn't be so easy". That's basically trampling on my free speech rights.

As for vaccines, there are SCORES of articles online about vaccines sending kids into convulsions and giving them life debilitating ailments, and yet I'm the crazy one.

Sugar is not a health food.

Vaccines are safe for 99.9% of people.

i'm pretty sure it's not legal to give medical advice without some time of degree or certification to show that you're qualified.

And somehow you have less credibility than when you started this topic.

I sincerely hope no one buys your book. It's starting to sound like it could actually harm someone.

That one doctor who said he ate nothing but steaks for 2 years... My god. My coworker and I were listening to it. Couldn't help but wonder what his shits must be like. The fact that he's a doctor...

I'm not worried about a book published by anyone as long as they are honest about their background, how it worked for them, acknowledges rebuttal facts, and claim that they're not a professional. It's a success story, sure, whatever.

Edit: that said, there are a ton of studies that link sugar to illnesses as severe as cancer.

You can be conservative and anti-troll, they're not related. You're not right wing, you're just a troll. You have problems.

I did that for a month, lost 2 stone and my shits were minor and very watery.

While I think sugar is horrendous if badly managed, anything that causes increased cellular turnover causes cancer.

You can give medical advice, you just can't claim to be a medical authority while doing it. Free speech and all that.

I'm going to ignore everything except the how long did you research thing.
So basically you didn't research you wiki'd information and then changed the medium and are presenting it as your own?
You're just selling other peoples' work? I think they might have a name for that.

Not even.

All excess energy converts to fat (except protein), and sugar has the shortest window to burn its energy before turning to fat while also creating bigger blood sugar spikes which lead to diabetes and make you hungrier when they normalise.

Fat gets metabolised in the liver in to sugars before turning to energy or fat, sugars don't need to be broken down to be filtered and fructose gums up your liver like alcohol, leading to it being the cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Total editing time: 71 hours

Earlier today I was playing dragon ball fighterZ, and my playtime is 82 hours. I could have written a book (or I guess edited one) in that amount of time.

I hate myself

Also, can you pm me the name of the book? I'll buy a copy.

As lame as it sounds, I don't mind spending a little money to support potders (still waiting on sneaky ninja @sullythestrange )

I didn't say sugar was a health food. You can use it, however, STRATEGICALLY for energy and recovery as well as satiation (as long as you avoid desserts and combine it with plant based foods).

Research the dangers of attenuated vaccines, which make the person sick. The virus breaks out of the cell wall and can give the user the actual illness. The only good vaccines are the ones with "dead" viruses.

Telling someone to eat more plant based foods with fiber isn't medical advice. But I guess you knew that since you are healthy? Even if you had a degree, certification, you can tell someone anything anyways.

My book isn't about vaccines, and so far I've only sold one unit.

Ummm, no? I did research it. There is a sources section.

This isn't true. All excess energy DOESN'T convert to fat. You need to account for glucose stores and the thermogenic effect. According to studies, in a mixed diet, dietary fat is stored first, carbs are turned into glycogen, burned off by body heat, and it if IS turned to fat, it will be a few grams. Most of the fat on your body is from eating dietary fat, not sugar or glucose. Your body doesn't want to convert much of that into fat because its the body's first source of energy.

Sugar doesn't cause diabetes; metabolic syndrome and diabetes are caused by having excess fat around the abdominal region, but especially being obese.

Who else do I need to school?

Triglycerides are a fat. For sugar to lead to high triglycerides, it must be converted to fat first. Chances are, your high triglycerides are from eating a diet high in saturated fats. Sugar will make it worse once you are in a debilitated, obese state, but nobody every got fat from eating sugar and plant foods. people get fat from eating burger, pizza, steak, donuts, bacon, etc

It might not make that much money, this is just the test. I might send you the book later, not sure, if it doesn't sell much, Ill just make it free and you could save your money.
