Download or read book The 16 Word Diet written by Jay Wiener and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 16-Word Diet is a once-in-a-generation book - a survival guide for people who are tired of miracle diets and magic pills, and who want common-sense solutions to the complex problems of obesity. Written by mathematician and weight loss expert Jay Wiener, The 16-Word Diet explodes dozens of popular myths about dieting and replaces them with just sixteen words - the simple keys to losing weight permanently and living a longer, healthier life. Here are a few of the many topics covered, written with the author's remarkable gifts for wisdom and laughter: On Maintenance: Losing weight is hard work, but maintaining a weight loss is hand-to-hand combat. If you don't learn how to maintain before you start to diet, you will be clobbered. On Goal Setting: Most dieters never choose reasonable goals. Worse, they do no planning before they start, unless you count reading the directions on a bottle of enchanted diet pills as planning. On Fad Diets: The Raw Food Diet is a typical fad. Dieters aren't allowed to cook their food. Raw vegetables are fine with me, but... Raw pork? Raw chicken? Those dieters may get thinner, but who wants to kiss them? On Binge Eating: I was a binge-eater for twenty years. The most important thing to understand is this: you can stop. Not immediately, of course, but you can learn how to turn massive overeating into mini-binges, and then into micro-binges, and happily live that way forever. On Bad Obesity Research: They studied the effects of diet on ED by asking men to remember how often they had ED. Seriously? I can remember how often I've slept in an igloo with Jennifer Lawrence, but not much else. On Temptation: Tempted to indulge in a chocolate croissant at Starbucks? Think of all the teenage baristas who breathed on that croissant before you started to eat it. On Exercise: You hate exercise. Too bad. If you're serious about losing weight, then stop reading and go for a walk. Buy this book when you come back. The 16-Word Diet. The most important new diet book in a generation - and fun to read. ********** From the Introduction: People who succeed at losing weight and keeping it off share a secret: they understand that losing weight is not about food. It's about every part of your life. And that's why this book is so different from other 'diet' books. It doesn't focus on what you eat; it focusses on how you can live a slimmer, healthier life for the rest of your life. What you eat is an important part of your life, but not the only part. To be successful, you need new skills that will help you live a healthy life at a significantly lower weight. How do you prepare before you start to diet? What are the most common mistakes people make when starting a diet? How do you choose between low-fat and high-fat diets? What makes us slip after months of success? How can we recover? What is the true value of exercise? How can you handle weight-loss plateaus? How should you manage vacations and holidays? Seven topics (there are many others) and only one is about food - because dieting is about so much more than what you eat. The 16-Word Diet is a rare book. It can change your life.

Download or read book In Defence of Food written by Michael Pollan and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-01-31 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A must-read ... satisfying, rich ... loaded with flavour' Sunday Telegraph This book is a celebration of food. By food, Michael Pollan means real, proper, simple food - not the kind that comes in a packet, or has lists of unpronounceable ingredients, or that makes nutritional claims about how healthy it is. More like the kind of food your great-grandmother would recognize. In Defence of Food is a simple invitation to junk the science, ditch the diet and instead rediscover the joys of eating well. By following a few pieces of advice (Eat at a table - a desk doesn't count. Don't buy food where you'd buy your petrol!), you will enrich your life and your palate, and enlarge your sense of what it means to be healthy and happy. It's time to fall in love with food again. For the past twenty years, Michael Pollan has been writing about the places where the human and natural worlds intersect: food, agriculture, gardens, drugs, and architecture. His most recent book, about the ethics and ecology of eating, is The Omnivore's Dilemma, named one of the ten best books of 2006 by the New York Times and the Washington Post. He is also the author of The Botany of Desire, A Place of My Own and Second Nature.

Dudes. So well intentioned when it comes to healthy eating, even as they fail epically in execution—inhaling a "salad" topped with fried chicken fingers or ordering their Italian hero on a whole wheat wrap (that makes it healthy, right?). There are several issues with men going on diets. First, they seem to be misinformed about basic nutrition. They are also, generally, not excited about eating "health food." You can lead a dude to the salad bar, but you can’t make him choose lettuce. Enter Serena Wolf—chef, food blogger, and caretaker of a dude with some less than ideal eating habits. As a labor of love, Serena began creating healthier versions of her boyfriend’s favorite foods and posting them on her blog, where she received an overwhelming response from men and women alike. Now, in The Dude Diet, Serena shares more than 125 droolworthy recipes that prove that meals made with nutrient-dense whole foods can elicit the same excitement and satisfaction associated with pizza or Chinese take-out. The Dude Diet also demystifies the basics of nutrition, empowering men to make better decisions whether they’re eating out or cooking at home. Better still, each recipe is 100% idiot-proof and requires only easily accessible ingredients and tools. With categories like Game Day Eats, On the Grill, Serious Salads, and Take Out Favorites, The Dude Diet will arm dudes and those who love them with the knowledge they need to lead healthier, happier lives—with flattened beer bellies and fewer meat sweats. The Dude Diet includes 102 full-color photographs.

Download or read book The Slow Down Diet written by Marc David and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolutionary approach to enhancing metabolism that enables lasting weight loss and facilitates spiritual well-being • Presents an eight-week weight-loss program • Explains how relaxed eating stimulates metabolic function and how stress hormones encourage weight gain • Shows how fully enjoying each meal is the optimal way to a healthy body Our modern culture revolves around fitting as much as possible into the least amount of time. As a result, most people propel themselves through life at a dizzying pace that is contrary to a healthy lifestyle. We eat fast, on the run, and often under stress, not only removing most of the pleasure we might derive from our food and creating digestive upset but also wreaking havoc on our metabolism. Many of us come to the end of a day feeling undernourished, uninspired, and overweight. In this 10th anniversary edition, Marc David presents a new way to understand our relationship to food, focusing on quality and the pleasure of eating to transform and improve metabolism. Citing cutting-edge research on body biochemistry as well as success stories from his own nutritional counseling practice, he shows that we are creatures of body, mind, and spirit and that when we attend to these levels simultaneously we can shed excess pounds, increase energy, and enhance digestion to feel rejuvenated and inspired. He presents an eight-week program that allows readers to explore their unique connection to food, assisting them in letting go of their fears, guilt, and old habits so they can learn to treat their bodies in a dignified and caring way. He reveals the shortcomings of all quick-fix digestive aids and fad diets and debunks common nutrition myths, such as “the right way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more.” He shows instead how to decrease cortisol and other stress hormones and boost metabolic power through proper breathing and nutritional strategies that nourish both the body and soul, proving that fully enjoying each meal is the optimal way to a healthy body. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in nutritional medicine, the psychology of eating, and the science of yoga, Marc David offers readers practical tools that will yield life-transforming, sustainable results.

Download or read book The Naughty Diet written by Melissa Milne and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last year, author Melissa Milne asked thousands of women how they feel about their bodies, weight, food, and self-image. The answers were shocking: more than 80 percent feel guilty after a meal; nearly 60 percent have dieted down a dress size to please a man; almost two-thirds say they have been body-shamed by another woman--and 50 percent would rather be skinnier than happier or smarter. These women are sick and tired of feeling bad while trying to lose weight. And Milne has the solution: Don't be perfect--just be Naughty. The Naughty Diet says screw guilt and pass the wine. Every chapter is built around a series of Naughty Steps -- science-based, life-tested, attitude-adjusted approaches to food, exercise, and life management -- each informed by the country's top doctors and nutritionists. Following this plan, you'll learn how to effortlessly embrace principles of healthy living, as well as pleasurable eating, changing the way you think about food -- and yourself. Far from telling you what you have to do, The Naughty Diet instead frees you to live life to the fullest; without shame, guilt, fear, or confusion. By doing so, you'll also allow for indulgences, including chocolate, wine, bread, and cheese, along with more than 40 deliciously nutritious recipes inside the book. Now balanced, the guilt -- and the pounds -- will melt away.

Download or read book Anti Diet written by Christy Harrison and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2019-12-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclaim your time, money, health, and happiness from our toxic diet culture with groundbreaking strategies from a registered dietitian, journalist, and host of the Food Psych podcast. 68 percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90% of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66% of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it? The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others. It's sexist, racist, and classist, yet this way of thinking about food and bodies is so embedded in the fabric of our society that it can be hard to recognize. It masquerades as health, wellness, and fitness, and for some, it is all-consuming. In Anti-Diet, Christy Harrison takes on diet culture and the multi-billion-dollar industries that profit from it, exposing all the ways it robs people of their time, money, health, and happiness. It will turn what you think you know about health and wellness upside down, as Harrison explores the history of diet culture, how it's infiltrated the health and wellness world, how to recognize it in all its sneaky forms, and how letting go of efforts to lose weight or eat "perfectly" actually helps to improve people's health—no matter their size. Drawing on scientific research, personal experience, and stories from patients and colleagues, Anti-Diet provides a radical alternative to diet culture, and helps readers reclaim their bodies, minds, and lives so they can focus on the things that truly matter.
