3 Reasons to Subscribe to a Research Review

By Flzine

My brain was feeling a little lacking in intelligence this morning. I don’t know what it was.  Could it be a news story like this? Could it be a celebrity saying…anything about a diet? Could it be the conversation I heard last night at the store that went like this…

“I don’t know Karen, I read a news article that said a study came out that diets just lead to regaining your weight and then some. I am just going to eat healthy and exercise.”

We aren’t getting it. We aren’t getting it, and we are a long way from there. This is only the beginning. Our best defense against all of this dogma, all of these BS conversational claims, all of these dramatic Fox News style “health” reports is to understand either what they can’t, or what they don’t care to.

Enter in Alan Aragon’s Research Review.

I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, “I can’t read that stuff, I don’t want to read, I am fine with others telling me what that stuff says, and oh and its boring as f**k.”

Can’t read it? I don’t buy it, it isn’t that complicated.

Don’t want to read? Fine, I buy that, but if having problems with your body I suggest you start to care about that “reading” thing.

Want someone else to tell you? Alright, but you better have picked the right guru and I can assure you that the less they tell you to read, the more likely they are going to screw you over.

It’s boring as f**k? Oh trust me, when you know how stupid what everyone is saying is, it is not boring at all. It becomes pure entertainment 24/7.  In fact, I think diet and training are the most wrongly discussed issues anywhere world wide.  Lastly, everyday your life is affected by a study from your car, drugs, food, television, etc.

Now to the 3 reasons.

Reason #1-Translation

Sometimes reading a study can make you want to rip your brain out. However, Aragon takes this issue away because he literally cliff notes and explains to you step by step what went down in the study and what things mean.

Reason #2-The “X” Factor

Aragon doesn’t just dive into the study, explain what it found, and leave it at that. He reviews not only that study but other works that are influenced or have been found because of that study. He shows you the flaws, the misses, or the “X” factor as to why or why not what this study is saying is valid. Here is an example of why this is key.

Report: We found in our study that aspirin will kill you. Don’t take aspirin.

What happens if the headline above reads like this?

Report: Taking 203 aspirins in a row will kill you. We don’t recommend doing that.

Big difference right? Sadly to most in the health community, not so much. Don’t you think that adding that you would have to take 203 aspirins to kill you is important? I do.

Reason #3-Saves you time

The best part is it saves you so much time. Sorting through study after study and the years that it takes to play catch up on all of this is daunting to say the least. With the research review you get caught right up and shown what you have missed as well.

To add one more incentive, here are just some of the recent topics and studies covered in the Alan Aragon Research Review.

-How to gain muscle while gaining least fat possible
-A complete breakdown of the Crossfit program and its use
-Obsessive exercise disorders
-The importance of nutrient timing
-Interview with Ronnie Coleman (he may or may not be getting a cheesy fix)
-Low calorie liquid diets and their effect on your metabolism

The list goes on and on.
