Download or read book Turn Off the Fat Genes written by Neal Barnard, MD and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2001-12-26 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breakthrough genetic research indicates that genes are not just on/off switches for characteristics we can’t control (like gender or eye color). Some genes, including those that shape our bodies, actually adapt to outside influences. In Turn Off the Fat Genes, Dr. Neal Barnard draws on this cutting-edge research to create a revolutionary new program to help your body sculpt away excess pounds by activating thin genes and suppressing fat ones. The heart of Dr. Barnard’s book is a three-week gene-control program specifically designed to help you identify your gene types by asking questions like: What’s your genetic taste type? Do you strongly dislike Brussels sprouts? Are some desserts too sweet to eat? Is black coffee undrinkable? If you answered yes to all three questions you’re a genetic bitter “taster” or “supertaster” (as opposed to a “nontaster”). You’ll find out how to work with your genetic taste type. Is your appetite becoming harder to control? Have diets made your appetite unpredictable? If so, your hunger-suppressing leptin gene might need a tune-up. Do you gain weight more easily than your friends? Do you have difficulty losing weight no matter what you do? If so, the genes that set your metabolism might need a boost. Do you hate exercise? If so, your genes may have overloaded you with sluggish Type II muscle cells. Learn how to change them. Once we understand how the genes that control shape can be influenced, we can enjoy virtually the same effortless weight control as naturally thin people and reveal the healthy, vital body that nature intended us to have.

Book excerpt: We all have a pair: those frumpy, roomy, "fat jeans" we reach for when a few (or more than a few) extra pounds have banished our favorite "skinny jeans" to the back of the closet. Well, get ready to toss those fat jeans, because personal trainer and fitness expert Amy Cotta is here to help you tone up, slim down, and stay motivated until you can shimmy back into those sexy skinny jeans for good. Cotta believes that the key to skinny jeans success is threefold: diet, exercise, and attitude. Her 6-week eating plan trims fast-burning carbohydrates for the first 3 weeks, ignites weight loss, then reintroduces and manages those carbs for the second half of the plan. Her graduated fitness plan offers three styles of cardio and strength-training exercises that get progressively more challenging to keep you from getting bored or hitting a plateau while you sculpt those curves. Both plans are simple to follow in your own home--no gym, fancy equipment, or expensive food deliveries required--and there are calendars, food logs, and meal plans to help you stay upbeat and organized. Plus, photos and stories of real-life results from Cotta's clients who are back in their skinny jeans and loving it show how easy it is to regain the trim, lithe contours that make you look great and feel a youthful confidence you thought was gone forever. Packed with dynamic, down-to-earth strategies, Six Weeks to Skinny Jeans will inspire you to take control of your lifestyle and feel younger, sexier, and fitter than ever before.

Anna is new to Charlottesville. She recently moved there from England with her father. With no friends or really any idea which direction her school is in, she and Isaac bump into each other, and just like that, they become friends, almost like they have known each their whole lives. And as time goes on, they become closer and closer, and along the way, they make new and interesting friends. Unfortunately, not everything is perfect in life. Horrible things happen. You can make enemies even if you are the nicest person, as many people out there just love conflict. Will Isaac and Anna live a beautiful life the way that they both dreamed of, along with new friends? Or will this dream of a beautiful life end up a nightmare, resulting in broken hearts?

Book excerpt: Who Are You Wearing? I'm Wearing An Original by God The devil may wear Prada for a season, but Jesus is wearing Aerosoles for a lifetime. "Who Are You Wearing?" is a stylish Christian book that takes an entertaining look at the world of fashion from a biblical perspective. We live in a world today where the media on the red carpet has become so obsessed with the famous fashion question, "Who are you wearing?" When celebrities are asked this question they have no problem giving a shout out to their favorite fashion designers. I often wondered what Christians would say if a reporter asked them amidst hundreds of cameras, "Who are you wearing?" Over the years there have been many well-known fashion designers whose creations have been duplicated and whose style has come and gone, but there is only one supreme designer whose creation has never been duplicated. He is the ultimate designer, he is God Almighty. "Who Are You Wearing?" reminds Christian women that God is the original designer of all styles, colors, shapes and patterns. While the world of fashion is constantly changing, the word of God will always remain in style. The devil may wear Prada for a season, but Jesus is wearing Aerosoles for a lifetime. For the woman who loves her accessories, God has designed an awesome accessory ensemble starting from the top of your head to soles of your feet called the full armor of God. When you read 'Who Are You Wearing" you will learn how wearing the full armor of God will bless your life and the lives of those around you.
Download or read book 45 Reasons It Sucks to be Fat Daily Diet Motivation written by Barbara Sorrelson and published by Barbara Sorrelson. This book was released on with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is NOT a book about fat shaming. If you’re happy with your weight, that’s amazing – celebrate it, because so few people ever feel that way. This is also not a book about appearances. It’s not for someone else to decide if you are beautiful or ugly. But plenty of overweight people suffer from self esteem issues surrounding their appearances, and this unhappiness is a real problem. A few of the points in this book address those feelings. This book IS for people who are unhappy and need reminders to keep them motivated to change. We all know the health risks that come from being overweight. Heart disease, diabetes, and any number of other conditions are always spouted as the reasons why you “should” lose weight. But while avoiding future health complications is a great idea, it’s tough to actually stick to your diet without some sort of noticeable gratification – after all, you can’t SEE your arteries unclogging, and you can’t FEEL your insulin resistance going away. But what about that feeling when you sit down and your belt buckle digs into your belly, and you can’t decide if it’s better to skip the belt altogether and have to subtly readjust your pants all day long as they roll and fold down the slopes of your fat rolls? Oh yeah, you can feel that. This is a book full of (hopefully humorous and relatable) reasons to remind you WHY you’re on this journey. It’s not because you SHOULD be, it’s because you WANT to be.
