Here’s the problem with anti-diet, intuitive and mindful eating books: How are you supposed to lose weight without dieting? How is “intuitive eating” going to help you manage 5-alarm cravings? How is “mindful eating” going to stop runaway hunger? Grand Theft Weight Loss “steals” the answers from an unexpected source--the archives of science, where researchers outside the diet industry figured out what all those weight-loss experts couldn’t: ★ HOW TO CUT YOUR HUNGER IN HALF Brain researchers, studying amnesia, stumbled onto a technique that can cut hunger by up to 50%. Use their concrete, easy-to-implement steps and you’ll find yourself wanting to eat less and less. ★ HOW TO CRAVE VEGETABLES THE WAY YOU CRAVE SUGAR Can you pine for apples the way you pray for pizza? Yes, neuroscientists have developed proven techniques that will make you crave the healthy over the unhealthy. ★ CRAVE VEGETABLES THE WAY YOU CRAVE SUGAR Willpower, motivation and self-control don’t have a chance against overwhelming cravings. What does? This simple-to-implement approach developed by social psychologists studying the science of craving reductions. ★ HOW TO QUIT SUGAR WITHOUT GOING INTO WITHDRAWALS Take an Addiction Medicine approach to your sugar binges with this painless step-by-step technique developed by drug treatment centers. ★ HOW TO EAT SMALLER PORTIONS WITHOUT FEELING DEPRIVED If you served yourself smaller portions you could eat what you want and still lose weight. But how do you do it without feeling cheated or leaving the table hungry? Dieticians don’t know but physiologists do. Use their illuminating techniques to eat less and feel just as full.

Download or read book Grand Theft Jesus written by Robert S. McElvaine and published by Broadway Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We're mad as Heaven, and we're not going to take it anymore!" declares historian Robert McElvaine in this passionate and often hilarious rallying cry for sincere Jesus followers. He lets us know that the extreme right wing won't be allowed to speak for all Christians any longer. This polemic blends outrage and humor to expose the televangelists and the leaders of megachurches as the people Jesus warned us about. The religion McElvaine calls ChristianityLite promises, "Be saved without sacrifice or good works!" Run by a crew of politicians, megachurch preachers, televangelists, hypocrites, and snake-oil salesmen, it has hijacked true Christianity and distorted it into something Jesus wouldn't recognize, a religion that advocates war and intolerance, values money above charity, preaches hatred instead of brotherhood, and promises "true" believers the keys to the gates of the kingdom of God--and to the bank.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: One of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, Roy F. Baumeister, teams with New York Times science writer John Tierney to reveal the secrets of self-control and how to master it. "Deep and provocative analysis of people's battle with temptation and masterful insights into understanding willpower: why we have it, why we don't, and how to build it. A terrific read." —Ravi Dhar, Yale School of Management, Director of Center for Customer Insights Pioneering research psychologist Roy F. Baumeister collaborates with New York Times science writer John Tierney to revolutionize our understanding of the most coveted human virtue: self-control. Drawing on cutting-edge research and the wisdom of real-life experts, Willpower shares lessons on how to focus our strength, resist temptation, and redirect our lives.

Download or read book Prescription for Profit written by Paul Jesilow and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this explosive exposé of our health care system, Paul Jesilow, Henry N. Pontell, and Gilbert Geis uncover the dark side of physician practice. Using interviews with doctors and federal, state, and private officials and extensive investigation of case files, they tell the stories of doctors who profit from abortions on women who aren't pregnant, of needless surgery, overcharging for services, and excessive testing. How can doctors, recipients of a sacred trust and sworn to the Hippocratic Oath, violate Medicaid so egregiously? The authors trace patterns of abuse to the program's inauguration in the mid 1960s, when government authorities, not individual patients, were entrusted with responsibility for payments. Determining fees and regulating treatment also became the job of government agencies, thus limiting the doctors' traditional role. Physicians continue to disagree with Medicare and Medicaid policies that infringe on their autonomy and judgment. The medical profession has not accepted the gravity or extent of some members' illegal behavior, and individual doctors continue to blame violations on subordinates and patients. In the meantime, program guidelines have grown more confusing, hamstringing efforts to detect, apprehend, and prosecute Medicaid defrauders. Failure to institute a coherent policy for fraud control in the medical benefit program has allowed self-serving and greedy practitioners to violate the law with impunity. Prescription for Profit is a shocking revelation of abuse within a once-hallowed profession. It is a book that every doctor, and every patient, needs to read this year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in Everyone Remain Calm reveal landscapes where the surreal and the familiar clash, to visceral effect. A woman yearns for—and dreads—the snowfall that arrives whenever her ex-boyfriend returns to the home she shares with their son. Another character reassures herself after breakups by seeking out the monster under her bed, the Incredible Hulk himself, for rebound sex that can be hot, heavy, and unnerving. Marching bands blare all the way from New Orleans to the Midwest. There are wild shootouts, rising tides, and perils embedded in the act of storytelling itself. “There are words that can kill you if you’re not careful,” Stielstra writes. And the stories we tell ourselves are the most fantastic tales of all. Everyone Remain Calm is eerie, hilarious, moving, and down-to-earth, even as its characters defy the rules—sometimes in the ways we wish we could.
