Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In You Are WHY You Eat, food becomes a digestible metaphor. If you are gorging and numbing yourself with food, are you doing the same thing in life? Instead of trying to please others all the time, what would happen if you listened to your inner voice? What if you could find a way to stop eating, stop working at a bad job, stop a bad relationship before you walk down the aisle—stop anything when you are full? Understanding WHY you eat can lead to real and lasting change--both in your weight loss and all other areas of your life. You Are WHY You Eat teaches readers to take back control in their lives. Dr. Ramani takes an iconoclastic, brave, edgy, and witty approach to self-help. She teaches you to unearth that inner voice, and let it be heard. She turns all of your childhood teachings upside down and forces you to take responsibility for your choices in life. Through real-life anecdotes and exercises, she gives you the tools you need to live on your terms, not those of the stakeholders that surround you. It will help you trust yourself and act from the gut, while making that gut smaller at the same time. And in so doing, it will help people live lives that are braver, more authentic, and less riddled with regret. You can change your food attitude and change your life!

Download or read book In Defense of Processed Food written by Robert L. Shewfelt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become popular to blame the American obesity epidemic and many other health-related problems on processed food. Many of these criticisms are valid for some processed-food items, but many statements are overgeneralizations that unfairly target a wide range products that contribute to our health and well-being. In addition, many of the proposed dangers allegedly posed by eating processed food are exaggerations based on highly selective views of experimental studies. We crave simple answers to our questions about food, but the science behind the proclamations of food pundits is not nearly as clear as they would have you believe. This book presents a more nuanced view of the benefits and limitations of food processing and exposes some of the tricks both Big Food and its critics use to manipulate us to adopt their point of view. Food is a source of enjoyment, a part of our cultural heritage, a vital ingredient in maintaining health, and an expression of personal choice. We need to make those choices based on credible information and not be beguiled by the sophisticated marketing tools of Big Food nor the ideological appeals and gut feelings of self-appointed food gurus who have little or no background in nutrition.

Download or read book What It Means to Be What You Eat written by What It Means - To Be What You Eat and published by Tina Ketch. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever stopped to think about what makes you so unique and special? Well, let me tell you, it's because you are a special blend of your genes and all of your life experiences, including the food that you eat! Think of your genes like a blueprint for who you are. They give you the basics, like a recipe for your favorite dish, but it is the food interacting with who you are that add all the flavors and make you the amazing person you are today. What you eat are like the actors who bring the show to life. They add excitement, twists, and turns to your story, and are the reason you have so many amazing stories to tell or do you. Everything you eat, big or small, good or bad, leaves a mark on your story. What you eat are the adventures, the challenges, combined with your environment that make you and encourage your life to be such a colorful journey. Now let's begin. Eating Healthy. As infants, we are entirely dependent on our caregivers for our nourishment. Our caregivers feed us and shape our attitudes and behaviors related to food. We learn what is acceptable and appropriate through their actions, such as the foods they provide and how they eat. These habits become ingrained in us and continue to influence our eating habits. Therefore, our eating habits are not just a result of our individual choices but are also a product of our social and cultural environment. As a parent, your primary responsibility is ensuring your child/children are cared for and well-fed. This includes providing them a safe and nurturing environment, meeting their basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing, and offering emotional support and guidance. It's crucial to understand that once you become a parent, your child's needs should come first, and you should always prioritize them over your wants or desires. This doesn't mean you should neglect yourself entirely, but rather that you should balance looking after your child's needs and taking care of your well-being. Ultimately, being a parent is a significant responsibility, and it's essential to approach it with care, dedication, and love. Ensuring your child receives proper nutrition is crucial for their growth and development. Understanding that their nutritional needs are far more intricate than just handing them a sandwich or a Lunchable on their way to school i necessary. A healthy and balanced diet should include a variety of foods from all food groups, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products. It's recommended that children consume foods that are rich in nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber, to support their overall health and well-being. Establishing healthy eating habits in children is crucial for their growth and overall well- being. Proper nutrition plays a vital role in this process. As a parent, you must ensure your child consumes a balanced diet with all the nutrients required for optimal health. It is common for children to be picky eaters, but this behavior may be learned and not necessarily a natural preference. Therefore, assessing whether there are any medical reasons behind your child's unbalanced diet or refusal to eat the food you prepare is essential. If you have ruled out all medical reasons, corrective action must be taken sooner rather than later to help your child develop healthy eating habits. You can help your child broaden their taste buds and develop a liking for nutritious foods by providing them with various healthy food options. Please encourage your child to participate in meal planning and preparation to foster their interest in healthy eating. Establishing healthy eating habits early on can set the foundation for a lifetime of good health. Therefore, making every effort to provide your child with the proper nutrition to grow and thrive is essential. Cooking at home is an incredible form of expression that offers numerous benefits. Your home cooking allows you to create something new and unique while nourishing and caring for yourself and your loved ones. It is also a great way of showing love and appreciation towards others by cooking delicious and healthy meals. Home cooking is a complex art that requires a variety of skills. It involves combining ingredients in various ways, using different techniques, and experimenting with flavors and textures to create a visually appealing dish that is irresistible to the taste buds. The cooking process demands time, effort, and patience, but the result is always worth it. Selecting ingredients is the first and most crucial step in the cooking process. Choosing fresh and high-quality ingredients can make all the difference in the outcome of the dish. The next step is preparing the ingredients, which involves washing, cutting, and measuring them. Careful attention must be paid to the size and shape of the ingredients, as well as their texture and flavor.

Download or read book Leaders Eat Last written by Simon Sinek and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller by the acclaimed, bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better. Now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials, based on Simon Sinek's viral video "Millenials in the workplace" (150+ million views). Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why? The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. "Officers eat last," he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What's symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care. Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

Book excerpt: An award-winning food writer takes us on a global tour of what the world eats--and shows us how we can change it for the better Food is one of life's great joys. So why has eating become such a source of anxiety and confusion? Bee Wilson shows that in two generations the world has undergone a massive shift from traditional, limited diets to more globalized ways of eating, from bubble tea to quinoa, from Soylent to meal kits. Paradoxically, our diets are getting healthier and less healthy at the same time. For some, there has never been a happier food era than today: a time of unusual herbs, farmers' markets, and internet recipe swaps. Yet modern food also kills--diabetes and heart disease are on the rise everywhere on earth. This is a book about the good, the terrible, and the avocado toast. A riveting exploration of the hidden forces behind what we eat, The Way We Eat Now explains how this food revolution has transformed our bodies, our social lives, and the world we live in.

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.
