Download or read book Eat Drink and Still Shrink written by Michele Chevalley Hedge and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like you, Michele Chevalley Hedge wants to be able to eat delicious food, enjoy the odd glass of pinot and still feel great. Here she draws on all the latest research and many years' experience as a nutritionist to provide a solution that works for the average busy person who wants to be healthy. In our busy lives, healthy eating can often slip down our list of priorities, and when we do have time to focus on it, the sheer amount of information and advice can be overwhelming. But if we're not eating well, we feel the impact in every part of our lives. We all know a poor diet can lead to weight gain, the development of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but it also affects our moods, our ability to sleep well and our energy levels - in short, everything we need to function well in this modern age. So, what's the answer? Certainly not deprivation; all the science tells us that 'diets' (especially the extreme, yo-yo variety) don't work. What the science does show is that eating a balanced diet of nourishing wholefoods - with the odd treat thrown in - is your ticket to ageing well,a lean healthy body, a sense of vitality, abundant energy and better brain function. This book is not about yo-yo dieting or trying to fit into your jeans by Friday. It's a balanced and sustainable way of eating for long-term good health. This is a specially formatted fixed-layout ebook that retains the look and feel of the print book.
Download or read book Eat Drink and Weigh Less written by Mollie Katzen and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the dream team of Dr. Walter C. Willett, bestselling author of Eat, Drink and Be Healthy, and Mollie Katzen, author of the four million-copy bestselling Moosewood Cookbook, comes a new approach to weight loss Eat, Drink, and Weigh Less offers a medically sound, extremely effective program that shows people how they can lose weight by adding delicious food to their diet and making simple changes in what they eat throughout the day. It's flexible and adaptable--and it really works. It features a powerful way to chart your progress called the Body Score. The more you raise your Body Score, the more you will lower your weight! A quiz at the beginning of the book helps readers determine their Body Score; the chapters that follow explain easy dietary and behavioral steps readers can take to improve their scores. While the concept is simple, the science behind it is not. It represents years of top research conducted by Dr. Walter C. Willett, the head of Harvard School of Public Health's Department of Nutrition, including the famous Nurses Health Study. This study scored each of its over 84,000 participants on food choices, exercise schedule, and body mass--resulting in a number that accurately determined the nurses risk of heart disease. Now, for the first time, Dr. Willett has teamed up with mega-bestselling cookbook author Mollie Katzen to adapt a similar, much easier scoring system to create a user-friendly diet plan with fail-safe results. If you can raise your score, you will lower your weight--all while eating delicious, easy-to-prepare foods.

Book excerpt: Keto is the fastest-growing diet in America, and the holiday season poses its greatest challenge: a steady stream of parties and feasts full of carbohydrate-loaded foods (think stuffing and sweet potato casserole) and tempting desserts. With this indespensible guide, you will never feel hungry, burn fat, boost energy, and transfrom your body all while enjoying the festive season. The ketogenic diet is based on cutting carbs down almost to near-zero while upping fat intake, and it has been shown to not only help people lose weight permanently, but also be good for their health by stabilizing blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, and improving markers for heart disease, among other benefits. This book is a guide to handling your keto lifestyle throughout the holidays to both enjoy the season and still maintain a healthy diet program. Starting first with the basics of keto—what it is, how and why it works, and what you need to know about fats and carbs—readers get tips on how to prep their kitchen, entertain in style, stay on track with exercise, and get through tough moments: maintaining keto when friends and family pressure you, recovering from a “cheat,” and adjusting your diet in the short term. The centerpiece is an extensive and colorful collection of keto recipes, starting with cocktails and appetizers and going through main and side dishes, vegetarian and vegan, and spectacular desserts. We wrap up with a fun keto gift guide full of products and foods that every keto dieter will love.
Download or read book Eat Drink And Remarry written by Margo Howard and published by HarperCollins Australia. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite her many years of offering relationship advice as a syndicated columnist–not to mention her pedigree as the daughter of the woman the world revered as Ann Landers– Margo Howard had to walk down the aisle four times before getting it right. Now the outspoken and witty Howard shares the sometimes rueful, always optimistic story of her adventures in pursuit of the perfect mate. Eat Drink and Remarry is the candid, funny no–holds–barred memoir of Howard's enduring belief in marriage as an institution–despite the often contrary evidence of her own experience. As she chronicles the courtships, marriages, dalliances and divorces that shaped her adulthood, she recalls people and events that left their mark on her life, including her famous (and frank) mother her children and a host of colleagues, from prize–winning journalists and scientists to Hollywood stars. Eat, Drink and Remarry is an endearing book about second (and third and fourth) chances, about the sometimes cockeyed optimism of love and about finding what's right for you–no matter how long it takes.

Download or read book Negotiating Thinness Online written by Gemma Cobb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book interrogates the thin ideal in pro-anorexia online spaces and the way in which it operates on a continuum with everyday discourses around thinness. Since their inception in the late twentieth century, pro-anorexia online spaces have courted controversy: they have been vilified by the media and deleted by Internet moderators. This book explores the phenomenon during its tipping point where it migrated from websites and discussion forums to image-centric social media platforms – all the while seeking to circumvent censorship by, for instance, repudiating ‘pro-ana’ or adopting hashtags to obfuscate content. The author argues that instead of being driven further underground, ‘pro-ana’ is blurring the boundaries between normative and deviant conceptions of thinness. Situating the phenomenon in relation to accepted constructions of thinness, promulgated by establishments as far ranging as medicine and women’s magazines, this book asks if ‘pro-ana’ holds the potential to critique that which has long been considered normal: the culture of compulsory thinness. Engaging with debates including the current climate of postfeminism and neoliberalism, digital censorship, the pre-eminence of white, middle-class, heterofemininity, and the articulation of pain in realising the thin ideal, Negotiating Thinness Online examines what happens when the margins and the mainstream merge.

Download or read book Intermittent Fasting for Hungry People written by Michelle Stacey and published by Centennial Books. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weight gain is a problem for most of us, especially during the holidays. Some may not be happy with that newly found weight and will be ready for some fasting! What if you could follow an eating plan (not a diet!) that helps you lose weight and burn body fat, improve your overall health—including cardiovascular, metabolic, insulin and blood sugar, brain function and anti-aging—while allowing you to eat your favorite foods most of the time? Intermittent fasting does all of that, which is why it is now the fastest-growing eating lifestyle. Fasting itself has a history that goes back millennia: the ancient Greeks used it for health and mental clarity, and all the major religions include some form of spiritual fasting. Today’s fasting offers two new twists: reams of science and clinical studies showing why and how it works, and various plans that incorporate intermittent periods of fasting, making it much more sustainable (and even enjoyable).This updated guide begins with a deep dive into how intermittent fasting works in your body, producing just enough occasional cellular stress to make you stronger, while lowering insulin to “unlock” your fat stores so you can burn them off. Then we present the nuts and bolts of following four different kinds of fasting, from time-restricted (eating within an 8-hour window) to alternate-day to the Warrior plan (one meal a day). Readers will learn strategies for how to start and break their fasts, how to choose the best form for them, what to do about hunger (it’s not as hard as you think!), getting past stuck points, using the right supplements, and dealing with side effects. Finally, we offer inspiration: stories of both “regular folks” and celebrities who swear by fasting, and an exploration of the way it can change your relationship with food and eating.
Download or read book Shrink Your Body Grow Your Mind b w written by Caren Boscaino and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not just about what to eat and what not to eat. It's about real mind shifts (pivots) to create new lasting results. We wanted to design a program that took the guesswork out, something you can do for the rest of your life with room to enjoy the things you love. After years of practice, we believe we've found an answer. A series of small changes in your lifestyle will build the foundation for the rest of your life and real success. Almost six years ago, we were two women in the same field, at the same pivot in the road, at the same stage of motherhood. Somehow we found each other. At the time we didn't know our friendship would grow into more, but eventually it became a partnership. We had different personalities and different strengths, but we had the same driving desire to help people change their lives. That is what made us a perfect team and led us to create Clean Cut Fitness & Nutrition.Together we built our friendship through running programs and helping moms. We took our clients from some of their first 5K races all the way to half marathons.In fact, we continue to work so well together today due to the success we've had in guiding others to identify and reach their goals and in inspiring them to create new ones.When a group of our clients approached us and asked if we could hold a weight loss challenge, yup, another new path opened for us. Excited by this idea, we sat down and put our methods, past fitness experiences, new education, and life experiences together to design a simple but effective weight loss challenge. We decided six weeks was the ideal time to break apart some old habits and create new ones. We also knew six weeks wasn't the final answer, and a lifetime of work was needed, but we knew it was a great foundation. Clean Cut was born. This simple, one-time challenge designed for this group, worked, and as you can imagine, people started asking, "What did you do? You look great!" Word got out, and interest grew, so we went with it and ran another challenge. We tweaked things along the way, building on our foundation. When things worked, we made them better. Things that had become roadblocks, we changed.We are always evolving and learning, which is the greatest part of Clean Cut. After our first small challenge gained momentum, we decided to create something for our clients and so many others. Over the years, Clean Cut has gone from a few challenges a year, to a national program that holds multiple core challenges along with holiday handhold programs, summer slam events and other pop-up programs that help people learn and succeed in the world of weight loss and management.
Download or read book WEIGHT LOSS During After Christmas written by Godspower Elishason and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bite of a mince pie here, an extra helping of pudding there... It all seems so innocent at the time. But as the calorific Christmas extravaganza continues apace, it might be worth bearing in mind that any extra helpings could still be clinging to your thighs and tummy in March. A study has found that extra pounds we pile on over the festive period will take a depressing three months to shift. Excessive: The average Briton consumes 2,300 calories in their Christmas lunch alone - that's 115% of a woman's RDA and 92% for a man. According to research by MSN, for Christmas lunch alone the average Brit feasted on two to three servings, consuming 2,300 calories across one meal. That accounts for 115 per cent of the recommended daily intake for women, and 92 per cent for men - and that's before taking into account the nuts, chocolates and alcohol we consume. According to the MSN survey, three quarters of those polled admit they over-indulge with abandon at Christmas, knowing they will suffer the consequences later as their waistbands begin to bulge. Nutritionist Dora Walsh said the key to not putting on weight over Christmas might be to eat slowly. Keep moving over the festive season to prevent too much weight gain. She said: 'You can still enjoy your food at Christmas without going overboard and gaining weight. "They key is to eat slowly and enjoy what you are eating without over filling, and also stay active over the Christmas period to help burn off any excess calories. 'It's about moderation, which will help avoid the extremes of gorging at Christmas and starving after. 'Any post-Christmas diet plan needs to be sensible and balanced because crash diets don't work and quick fixes won't last.' Office worker Rachel Taylor told how she knows she will pile on the pounds thanks to festive excess - and that it will be a while before she manages to slim down again. The 27-year-old, of Southampton, said: 'I like to keep trim but I'm not obsessive and I do make an exception for Christmas. 'Overindulging usually means I put on a few pounds and, because I don't believe in crash diets, it usually takes a month or two for me to lose it all.' in this book you will discover how the holiday weight gain and the sugar cravings.

Download or read book Catching Fire written by Richard Wrangham and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-08-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stunningly original book, Richard Wrangham argues that it was cooking that caused the extraordinary transformation of our ancestors from apelike beings to Homo erectus. At the heart of Catching Fire lies an explosive new idea: the habit of eating cooked rather than raw food permitted the digestive tract to shrink and the human brain to grow, helped structure human society, and created the male-female division of labour. As our ancestors adapted to using fire, humans emerged as "the cooking apes". Covering everything from food-labelling and overweight pets to raw-food faddists, Catching Fire offers a startlingly original argument about how we came to be the social, intelligent, and sexual species we are today. "This notion is surprising, fresh and, in the hands of Richard Wrangham, utterly persuasive ... Big, new ideas do not come along often in evolution these days, but this is one." -Matt Ridley, author of Genome
