Well-funded campaigns have spent years convincing you that some foods are good, some are bad, and some are downright evil. It doesn't have to be that way. Relax and Enjoy Your Food uses science and a little common sense to take away all that anxiety, and save you some money to boot. Once you let go of some ideas, it all gets simpler. There are no superfoods, no junk foods, and there aren't even any health foods. There is just food, all of which provides some combination of the same seven basic things that all food does. That's why the most specific advice you can get is to eat a variety of foods, mostly plants, not too much or too little. That's it. The diet and wellness industries, along with the supplement industry, have deep pockets and ill intent. Their primary victims are women, but everybody gets caught up in their web. After reading this book you'll be able to leave all that behind, eat a healthy diet, even reach and maintain a healthy weight. In short, you'll be able to relax and enjoy your food.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here be an oracle. Despair all ye who seek her. Magic will have its cake and eat it too. Okay, well. So I was mixing metaphors. I was new to the gig. But as far as I could tell, there were three kinds of people. Those who wanted confirmation that they'd chosen the correct path. Those who wanted to deny there was any sort of destiny at all. And those who wanted to tear it all down. So why was it always the third type that showed up at the door to my 1975 Brave Winnebago, dragging me into their power struggles and using my past against me - when I didn't even know what that past was? Could I thwart the destiny that had been envisioned for me before I was born? Could I carve out a future filled with love and light with my chosen mate? I certainly knew what I was capable of doing to survive. Beyond the past, through the present, and well into the future ... I'd see us. -------------------- This paranormal romance/urban fantasy is the third book in the Oracle Series by author Meghan Ciana Doidge.
