Not really. Tom, doesn't actually "give" me anything for the sponsorship.
The definition of sponsored is:
One that finances a project or an event carried out by another person or group, especially a business enterprise that pays for radio or television programming in return for advertising time.
Which now that you mention isn't really true. I receive no finance from Tom to talk about his book. I do get a 50% commission on any book that is sold thru my link but I'm not paid directly by him to sell only this book and hype it up beyond what I personally believe.
The #1 reason that I pimp is so much is that all these beginners who don't know where to get lean proteins from and have no idea what a good metabolism boosting diet is, could benefit from this book in so many ways.
I purchased it. I've been reading it and I've learned a ton from it.
I guess my enthusiasm does sound like an infomercial. But if you don't know the basics of nutrition there's nothing bogus about this 357 page book. Besides the fact that he gives a 90 money back, no questions asked guarantee, how can you lose? You can't.
It gets a lot of readability here because (1) There's not a lot of eBooks out there on this that talk to a person as a beginner
(2) It's not $500
(3) It's one of the first nutrition eBooks I read and I just loved it. It's really very useful as a reference.
