Speed Up Your Metabolism! Healthy Snacks, Exercise, & More

February 18, 2011 By Vending Man Leave a Comment

Speed up your metabolism!

Know anyone that can eat anything they want, barely goes to the gym, and still be skinny as a rail? I do!

They are lucky to have a fast metabolism, but you can have a fast metabolism too, simply by understanding your body!

With exercise, and a few changes to your dieting habits, you can burn fat much more efficiently! Check this out for ideas on healthy snacks!

A few things you were probably expecting to see as you opened this article:

1. Exercise!

The process of working out burns a ton of calories you have stock piled throughout the week. But that’s not it, after exercising your body takes a while to get back to its resting state, so even a few hours after working out you will burn more calories than normal! The more intense the workout, the more calories burnt, and the faster your body will metabolize foods!

2. Get strong!

This goes along with exercising, but be sure to increase muscle mass. The more muscle you have, the more muscle it takes to move your body, that means you burn more calories with even simple movements like walking or biking!

3. Limit your alcohol intake!

Bummer! Not only does consuming alcohol increase your calorie intake, but studies have shown that people eat more after consuming alcohol, so be careful!

These facts about increasing your metabolic rate might surprise you!

1. Eat breakfast.

We’ve all heard it, but did you know that breakfast kickstarts your body to metabolize foods. This is because your metabolism drastically slows as you sleep, so as you wake up you don’t burn many calories. Grab a quick bite to eat and your on your way to losing weight!

2. Snack all day long!

Yup, that’s right, want a snack? Go for it! This allows your body to constantly be burning calories. And you never get really hungry and eat more than you should have!

3. Protein!

And lots of it. Protein allows your body to burn more calories than foods without protein.

4. Don’t starve yourself!

The body will stop burning fat in order to store energy because it thinks you have no food around and it doesn’t want you to actually starve!

5. Drink milk!

…and other low fat dairy products.

6. Spice up your food!

Even a dash of red pepper in your soup can speed up your metabolism for a while!

7. Break up your workouts!

Instead of one intense work out, try two moderate workouts per day.

(Warning: this might surprise you!)

8. Get some sleep and stay calm!

Stress can cause fat to build up!

3 Easy Steps to Grow: Starting A Vending Machine Business

February 15, 2011 By Vending Man Leave a Comment

Starting A Vending Machine Business

At school, work, or a mall: “Hey did you see that new vending machine right as you walk in the door? It looks pretty cool…”

“Ya I did! I’ve never seen a vending machine like that! It only had healthy food too! That’s something I will actually use.”

Modern vending machines have already generated conversations just like this one! The futuristic look and the available products demand attention from anyone that is passing it.

Are you looking to make money in 2011? Want a small investment to turn into a continuous flow of money? Take advantage of the new features on vending machines! Start a vending machine business!

Ad Space on the Top!

Three easy steps:

1. Advertising space is available on the machine itself!

Some vending machines being produced today are not the cut and dry, boring, black boxes. Some are equipped with small TV’s located above or to the side of where the snacks are displayed. This moving picture can catch the eye of any and every individual that enters the room. Old or “traditional” vending machines just sit, stagnant, against a wall, only noticed when someone is searching for one.

2. Generate your own traffic!

Human beings naturally don’t like to dive into change. When a new product comes out, people are afraid to purchase it until they hear reviews that it is worthy of their hard earned cash. A new movie requires good ratings to generate a crowd at the theater. Your vending machine is the same way!

So don’t let some busy employee run past your new investment! Make sure he sees you purchasing a product! This simple action will always be embedded in that employee’s head: “That machine is being used, it must be good, I should try that out sometime!”

3. Create awareness of the new feature you have added in the building!

Fliers around the office can provide more information on what that new cool thing is downstairs.

“Want a snack but don’t have any ash? The new vending machine located in the lobby accepts credit/debit cards!”

“Healthy snacks promote efficiency at work, school and at home, grab one from the vending machine downstairs!”

“Healthy vending- the cool way to get a snack-check it out –> that way!”

The possibilities are endless when it comes to a convenience in our fast paced society. What are you waiting for! Get started on your vending machine business!

Healthy Vending vs. “Typical” Vending

July 1, 2010 By Eric Siu 2 Comments

Much like Homer Simpson, most people generally don’t give a damn about what they get from a vending machine. “As Long As It Tastes Good” is the mantra — most vending machine consumers don’t care about the future, they just want to satisfy their cravings for greasy/sweet foods.

Well snap out of it, fatty.

Much like your professional or personal life, only YOU know what’s best for YOU. Owners of businesses only really pay attention to the $$$ they bring in. Most vending machines vend goods that are sure to make your loved ones cringe when they see your plump belly. Some examples:

Sweetened, high calorie drinks — virtually no nutritional value in these. These pass off as empty calories that really don’t serve the body well. Oh yeah, you can go ahead and forget about those “Diet” drinks too. They actually do more damage to your body than regular sodas. Fantastic.
Fatty, greasy chips — What are you trying to do? Look like your pregnant wife?
Cigarettes — Yep, believe it or not, they’re in vending machines. Unless you want to have yellow teeth and stink mouth for the rest of your life, I’d advise against this.

OMG Eric OK OK I get it, I don’t wanna be FAT and USELESS.

K fine — If vending machines are a part of your daily lifestyle, then start looking for healthy vending machines. These machines are stocked with items that have been researched based on nutritional value and taste. Take a look at some comparisons. FYI, the first item in each sample is the “typical” vending good while the second item is the healthy vending good:

With a 50 calorie differential, 1g less fat, 9g less carbohydrates, and an equal amount of protein, the difference initially looks small. There is also a sodium disparity that is not noted in the pictures, with the Corn Nuts coming in at 410mg sodium and the Pita Chips coming in at 220mg sodium. Controlling your sodium intake is critical because you do not want your body working harder than it should. Every little bit helps when you are watching your diet.

90g calorie difference, 1g less fat, 22g less carbohydrates — Mr. Nature’s Trail Mix takes the cake here. And if you were wondering…the sodium differential: Mr Nature’s has 10mg of sodium vs. the whopping 350mg on the Chex Mix. Unless your goal is diabetes or high blood pressure, I’d go with the Trail Mix.

The point to all this? Start looking for healthy vending machines or at least educate yourself on the healthier goods — It’ll pay off in the long run.

Til’ next time!

Starting A Vending Business Pt. 2

June 30, 2010 By Eric Siu 2 Comments

We’re going to reveal why a certain healthy vending company is LIGHT YEARS ahead of other vending machine franchises. We’ll simplify this exercise by comparing different vending machines to different women(if you like men, just replace the image of women with men).

Think about the last broad you were attracted to. What started your attraction towards her?

The way she dressed. Her hair. Her body. Her smell. Her accent.

Whatever it is, it’s guaranteed that something superficial sparked your INTEREST. After all, virtually all relationships start from physical attraction. You want the Sexy Sandy, not the boring, uninteresting Plain Jane. A person that takes cares of themselves conveys different stories — they are INTERESTING. Plain Janes look DULL — they have put little effort into their looks and therefore receive little attention from men.

Eric… what the hell does this all have to do with VENDING?

These concepts apply to the Vending Machine Business. But let’s take it a little further, you don’t want your machine to just STAND OUT. You want it to be SEXY.

Eric… what the hell is the difference man?

Well…

Option A or Option B?

I hope you picked Option B.

How about these two?

Option A

Option B

Again, I hope you picked Option B.

In both cases, Option B had the SEXIER option. So who is the SEXY option in the healthy vending industry?

HUMAN Healthy Vending has the most attractive machines that boast the latest technology. They are the FERRARIS of vending machines and do not come at absurd prices. Interestingly enough, these vending machine beasts also open up paths for ad revenue – which can generate even more income per machine.

Some reasons to go with HUMAN(helping unite man and nutrition).

Aesthetically pleasing, ATTRACTIVE machines.
Conveyor Technology that allows for MORE ROOM for your vending goods.
23′ LCD screen that allows for ad revenue and nutritional information — MORE $$$
Credit Card reader allows for consumer CONVENIENCE — it doesn’t get any easier than scan and press. Forget your wrinkly one dollar bill rejections.
CHARITABLE giving — added comfort of understanding that HUMAN is committed to providing a healthier lifestyle for Americans. 10% of all HUMAN’s proceeds go to charities.
and MUCH MORE!

With machines starting at $6,999, it’s a no brainer to purchase this machine over a used $5500 generic machine. When money is being spent on your own business, you are looking for VALUE. Here’s some food for thought regarding used car purchases:

Would you rather purchase a $25,000 certified pre-owned Toyota that will last you 10 years or a $15,000 privately-owned Mercedes Benz that will last you 4 years?

Which is the better value and why?

Figure out the answer to this question and you will see why HUMAN is by far the best choice when choosing a vending franchise(fyi highlight the answer below..it’s in white).

The answer is the $25k Toyota because you are paying $2500/year versus $3750/year for a car that goes down in 4 years. There is more VALUE in buying the Toyota because it lasts longer.

Starting A Vending Business Pt. 1

June 29, 2010 By Eric Siu Leave a Comment

Ah, the joys of business.

It’s a love/hate relationship.

It’s cutthroat.

It’s a huge gamble.

But — You’ve made your decision. Healthy Vending Businesses have caught your eye and that’s the path you’re going to take. After all, you don’t want to go all-in like Will Smith in the Pursuit of Happyness and lose almost everything. You want to be prepared, you want to have directions, you want to minimize the risk. Good. Let’s get started by talking about the many vending franchises that you can purchase from — this will be a two part article. More importantly, let’s talk about the one company that you SHOULD purchase from.

Today, Craigslist, Ebay, and other vending machine industry titans all offer the relatively same, generic vending machines that we are all familiar with. Here’s an example of a $1600 machine taken off Craigslist. Meet the Dixie 2145:

Looks familiar, doesn’t it?

The catch? Well, it looks plain to begin with. Secondly, it can only vend drinks. Considering that you are in the market for healthy vending machine franchises, this isn’t exactly what you are looking for.

Let’s do a little more searching then… how about “The Office Deli” at $5500? It vends everything that we want it to vend — chips, drinks, microwaveable foods, and more:

But again, the machine looks generic. People don’t like to be BORED. And at $5500, are you really willing to fork over all that dough for a machine that looks DULL? Why not use that hard earned cash for a machine that has many more perks?

We’ll venture into the world of this new, groundbreaking machine in the next post. Stay tuned.

Tips to Starting A Vending Machine Business

June 22, 2010 By Eric Siu Leave a Comment

You’ve done your research and you’ve seen that the vending machine business pulls in over $21 billion a year.

Wait. How much? That’s $21,000,000,000.

Whether it’s the opportunity to take a share of that $21 billion market or simply the prospect of trying something new, starting a vending machine business is no easy feat. Many steps need to be taken to ensure that your business has the best chance of succeeding. Let’s jump into a quick tip to get your new vending machine business on the right track. We’ll be talking about location in this post.

Location

Location is critical to the success of your vending machines. As an example, let’s say I decide to start a healthy vending business and go with healthier foods in my machine. Looking at the next two pictures, where do you think I should place my new healthy vending machine? The fitness center or the theme park?

The better location here is the fitness center. Here’s why:

- Regular gym goers are very observant of their health. They have already made the conscious decision to look and feel healthier — they have decided to change their lifestyle.

- For the most part, most gym goers know that diet is a very important factor in determining their health. This means at one point or another, they have tried to alter their eating habits to avoid junk foods.

- Most gym goers also do not have all the time in the world to cook for themselves all the time. Eating out is a risky option because there aren’t many healthy, convenient fast food chains out there. Subway and El Pollo Loco come to mind, but after that the list starts to dry up pretty quickly.

Here’s why the theme park doesn’t work so well:

- People at the theme park are generally there to just have fun and let loose — they don’t really care about what they are eating.

- A lot of young teens and kids frequent the parks — at that age, health and nutrition is probably the last thing on their mind. I know I definitely didn’t care about nutrition when I was 15 — I just wanted to chow down on some Doritos and get to the next ride.

- Furthermore, there are so many tasty, fatty food stands that the vending machines tend to be neglected.

The Bottom Line

In the case of my example, placing my new healthy vending machine in the fitness center is a no brainer. As a matter of fact, if I strategically place my vending machine right outside the mens and womens locker room, my vending machine is likely to generate more revenue because people walking out will be hungry for a snack and see Clif’s Protein Bars, assorted fruits, Unsweetened Tea, Muscle Milk, and other healthy goods that they know will fuel their body.

Remember though, this example just applies to healthy vending machines. If I were to use the typical vending machine stocked with the standard Doritos, Cornuts, Popcorn, and candy, I’d choose to place it elsewhere. Location is critical to the success of your vending machine business because each location caters to a specific crowd. In short, don’t overlook the importance of location — do your homework.

Stay tuned for more tips.
