Speed Reading Course, and Other Links
Forget about taking that speed reading course: The human eye cannot process more than about 300 words per minute.
The human mind gauges someone’s attractiveness in 13 milliseconds. It happens before you realize you’ve seen the image.
Don’t bother to exercise: You can strengthen your muscles by merely imagining exercise.
Most popular diets do not lead to weight loss; however, unpopular ones do (i.e. diet and exercise).
Just guessing, but without reading the third article, it’s probably something to do with neural circuitry/electricity currents in the body.

Imagine that! Fad diets that require no effort don’t actually work; but cutting calories, limiting fat intake and getting your derriere to the gym on a regular basis does work (this explains why these diets are not more popular).
I won a speed reading contest in 9th grade. But, speed reading courses really don’t work in my opinion. The best advice for doing a college book report, for example, is to study the table of contents. Use it as your outline. Then, read the first and last sentence of each paragraph. If a paragraph contains important information, stop and read the whole thing. But the first and last sentence is usually sufficient to understand the context. Do this just enough to get the gist of each subject heading in the table of contents then move on to the next heading in the table of contents. You would be amazed how much your book report looks like one by someone who actually read the book. Actually, it’s probably better; someone who read the book before starting the report probably forgot much of what they read.

It’s amazing how facial bone structure is so readily translated in someone’s brain as beauty.
