Download or read book I Do It with the Lights On written by Whitney Way Thore and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the star of TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life and the YouTube sensation “A Fat Girl Dancing” comes an empowering memoir about letting go of your limitations and living the life you deserve. Right now. Whitney Way Thore stands five feet two inches tall and weighs well over three hundred pounds, and she is totally, completely, and truly . . . happy. But she wasn’t always the vivacious, confident woman you see on TV. Growing up as a dancer, Whitney felt the pressure to be thin, a desire that grew into an obsession as she got older. From developing an eating disorder as a teenager, to extreme weight gain in college, to her ongoing struggle with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), Whitney reveals her fight to overcome the darkest moments in her life. She holds nothing back, opening up about the depths of her depression as well as her resilience in the face of constant harassment and mistreatment. Now Whitney is on top of the world and taking no BS (Body Shame, of course). And she’s sharing the steps she took to get there and the powerful message behind her successful No Body Shame campaign. She even reveals her favorite “F” word (it’s probably not what you think), the thrill of doing it with the lights on, and the story behind the “Fat Girl Dancing” video that started it all. Exuberant and utterly honest, I Do It with the Lights On is the inspiring story of how Whitney finally discovered her fabulousness when she stepped off the scale and into her life, embracing herself unconditionally—body, heart, and soul. Advance praise for I Do It with the Lights On “Whitney’s story is one of radical vulnerability. She is a vibrant example of what it means to choose confidence when insecurity beckons from every corner. She is cool, funny, and shameless—in the best possible way.”—Kelsey Miller, author of Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting & Got a Life “Soaring above expectations, I Do It with the Lights On delves into the complicated relationship between a woman and her body. With her trademark charisma, Whitney emerges triumphant, plucking from the mire some of the most important realizations one can hope to have. If you have a body, this memoir is a must-read.”—Linda Bacon, PhD

In the tradition of The Joy of Cooking and How to Cook Everything comes Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, an ambitious new approach to cooking by a major new culinary voice. Chef and writer Samin Nosrat has taught everyone from professional chefs to middle school kids to author Michael Pollan to cook using her revolutionary, yet simple, philosophy. Master the use of just four elements--Salt, which enhances flavor; Fat, which delivers flavor and generates texture; Acid, which balances flavor; and Heat, which ultimately determines the texture of food--and anything you cook will be delicious. By explaining the hows and whys of good cooking, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will teach and inspire a new generation of cooks how to confidently make better decisions in the kitchen and cook delicious meals with any ingredients, anywhere, at any time. Echoing Samin's own journey from culinary novice to award-winning chef, Salt, Fat Acid, Heat immediately bridges the gap between home and professional kitchens. With charming narrative, illustrated walkthroughs, and a lighthearted approach to kitchen science, Samin demystifies the four elements of good cooking for everyone. Refer to the canon of 100 essential recipes--and dozens of variations--to put the lessons into practice and make bright, balanced vinaigrettes, perfectly caramelized roast vegetables, tender braised meats, and light, flaky pastry doughs. Featuring 150 illustrations and infographics that reveal an atlas to the world of flavor by renowned illustrator Wendy MacNaughton, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will be your compass in the kitchen. Destined to be a classic, it just might be the last cookbook you'll ever need. With a foreword by Michael Pollan.

Download or read book Fat and Fabulous written by Lynette Dunne and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-03 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of stories about fat, fabulous women. No two of them are alike yet they have to overcome the same stereotypes and prejudices as other large and lovely ladies. Fat bashing is the only socially acceptable form of bigotry left in the United States. Say something like "Asians are all...." , "Blacks are all...", or even "Women are all..." and you can get in big trouble, you might even lose your public reputation or your job. But make that "Fat women are all..." and you'll get laughs. Oh the bitter irony. Americans are getting fatter every day, have been for decades, yet each year we become more obsessed with thinness and ever more fat-phobic. We still believe that a slim waistline makes you a better person, despite abundant evidence to the contrary. But some people, especially some women, are beginning to realize that a dress size in single figures doesn't make you anything different than what you always were, you're the same person-good bad or indifferent-no matter how much, or how little, you weigh. Now is the time to stop worrying about potbellies and muffin tops and live life to the fullest. You don't have to put life on hold until you lose X pounds, or can fit into your old high school cheerleader outfit. That's what unites the characters in these stories. They live and love and laugh and lust....and eat, well and heartily. They indulge in all the guilty pleasures of life but they don't feel guilty, or ashamed. They don't try to hide their fat. They celebrate it, and they find others, both men and women-some thin, some not-who are happy to join them in that celebration. And they don't tell fat jokes. The fat bashers are the butt of their jokes.
Download or read book Being Fat written by Jenny Ellison and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is okay to be fat. This is the basic premise of fat activism, a social movement that has existed in Canada since the 1970s. Being Fat focuses on the earliest strands of the movement, covering the last decades of the twentieth century. The book explores how fat activists wrestled with feminist issues of the era, including femininity, sexuality, and health. Showcasing the earliest efforts of fat activists in Canada, such as the growth of social initiatives “for fat women only,” Being Fat helps us recognize the long reach of second-wave feminism and how it shaped activists’ approaches to everyday experiences like shopping, exercise, and going to the doctor.
