Download or read book The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek written by Rhett McLaughlin and published by Crown. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Stranger Things meets the South. Chilling, hilarious, and suspenseful—I loved it!”—Felicia Day From the authors of Rhett & Link's Book of Mythicality and creators of Good Mythical Morning . . . It’s 1992 in Bleak Creek, North Carolina—a sleepy little place with all the trappings of an ordinary Southern town: two Baptist churches, friendly smiles coupled with silent judgments, and an unquenchable appetite for pork products. Beneath the town’s cheerful façade, however, Bleak Creek teens live in constant fear of being sent to the Whitewood School, a local reformatory with a history of putting unruly youths back on the straight and narrow—a record so impeccable that almost everyone is willing to ignore the suspicious deaths that have occurred there over the past decade. At first, high school freshmen Rex McClendon and Leif Nelson believe what they’ve been told: that the students’ strange demises were all just tragic accidents, the unfortunate consequence of succumbing to vices like Marlboro Lights and Nirvana. But when the shoot for their low-budget horror masterpiece, PolterDog, goes horribly awry—and their best friend, Alicia Boykins, is sent to Whitewood as punishment—Rex and Leif are forced to question everything they know about their unassuming hometown and its cherished school for delinquents. Eager to rescue their friend, Rex and Leif pair up with recent NYU film school graduate Janine Blitstein to begin piecing together the unsettling truth of the school and its mysterious founder, Wayne Whitewood. What they find will leave them battling an evil beyond their wildest imaginations—one that will shake Bleak Creek to its core. Praise for The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek “The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek is like your best friend from high school—kind of weird and a little twisted, but no matter how much trouble they caused, they always made you laugh. You don’t have to be a GMM fan to realize . . . The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek, Will It Awesome Book? F@*# yeah!”—Kurt Sutter, creator of Sons of Anarchy “Most people don’t read books, let alone write them. That puts Rhett and Link in the top 1% of smart people in the world. Read this book.”—Rachel Bloom, co-creator of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend “It’s scary, it’s fun, and it’s one hell of a carnival ride.”—Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book The Protein Boost Diet written by Ridha Arem and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could your thyroid be making you fat? Do you have a hard time losing weight? If your thyroid and metabolism are slow, you can’t lose weight simply by cutting back on what you eat. And if you’re overweight—whether you suffer from a thyroid problem or not—your hormones are most likely out of whack and are keeping you from losing those extra pounds. World-renowned endocrinologist Dr. Ridha Arem has treated hundreds of patients successfully for hormone-related weight problems—and almost every weight problem has an accompanying hormone problem. Now for the first time in The Thyroid Solution Diet, Dr. Arem makes his comprehensive hormone-balancing nutrition and weight-loss plan available to the public. With it, you will restore your health and feel better— mentally and physically—as you get slimmer. Dr. Arem perfected his unique diet after extensive research, modifying the Mediterranean Diet so that his plan is higher in protein, higher in fiber, and also low-glycemic. This way your meals are both satisfying and filling. Specific combinations of proteins and essential supplements at each meal rev your metabolism and reverse hormonal imbalances. And you can further personalize your weight-loss plan by choosing from Dr. Arem’s extensive lists of Favorite Foods and from 48 delicious recipes created especially for this book. Before you even start the diet, Dr. Arem takes you through a weeklong detox plan to rid your body of the environmental toxins that compromise your hormone functions and contribute to making you fat. You’ll make his carefully formulated smoothie and also start to work with the illustrated 20/10 Exercise program—twenty minutes of aerobics and ten minutes of strength training—to generate energy and vitality. Retrain your body, ramp up your energy, sleep better, reduce stress, and—finally—lose weight and keep it off. This comprehensive mind-body health and diet plan can help you. *** From The Thyroid Solution Diet Do you want to lose weight? Have you tried diet after diet and yet the stubborn pounds remain? Regardless of why you gained weight, once you’re wearing those extra pounds, your metabolism shifts gears, triggering multiple hormonal changes that perpetuate weight gain by making your body resistant to losing weight. The only way to lose weight is to rebalance your hormone systems, and the Thyroid Solution Diet is meticulously crafted to do just that. Ask yourself these questions: Are you always tired? Do you have dry skin and dry hair? Is your hair thinning? Are your hands and feet always cold? Do you have a lack of motivation or are you moody, anxious, irritable, or depressed? A thyroid imbalance could be causing any of these symptoms . . . and your weight gain, too. For decades, researchers knew that the thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck, governed metabolism, mood, body fat, brain function, and even hearing and vision. But the details on how thyroid hormones control appetite, energy, and weight weren’t clear until recently. Even if you haven’t been diagnosed with a thyroid condition, or your doctor has told you your blood tests are normal, you might have a subclinical thyroid imbalance, meaning your blood tests are minimally abnormal or borderline. Many doctors ignore these small abnormalities, but losing weight with a borderline low thyroid condition is extremely difficult.
