Book Description:
Are you a prisoner of gaining and losing weight only to become heavier...are your thoughts preoccupied with food issues, guilt, wishing things were different...have you lost hope in becoming healthy and staying healthy...do you believe you will be happier at a lower weight or a smaller dress size? If you're like most women, you spend your days juggling many roles, conflicting commitments and the wants and needs of others. Often you come last, if there's time. The temptation to reach for food as comfort or distraction can be overwhelming, although the issue is rarely about true hunger. More times than not, the underlying force is emotion. Eating emotionally can become a way of life. Following two decades of research and practical experience, disordered eating expert Lorrie Jones developed the 21 Days of Eating Mindfully program, designed to encourage and support you in changing unwanted and unhealthy eating habits by transforming your relationship with yourself. This 21 day journey is not a diet or overnight cure.

With mindful awareness it's possible to let go of the belief that eating or not eating will take away hurt, disappointment, loneliness-boredom, anger, emptiness. With mindful awareness you'll learn skills and tools necessary to use food for only nourishment and healthy enjoyment. If you're ready to give up believing there's something wrong with you-something that will change when you have a different body-then you're ready for Eating Mindfully and embracing the present moment, ending your dysfunctional relationship with food. For 21 days you will be provided with mindful eating guidelines to put into practice in your daily life. There are three days of "food for thought", related mindfulness activities and points to ponder for each of the letters in "HEALING": H: Hunger&Healing E: Empathy&Emotional Eating A: Awareness&Acceptance L: Love&Letting Be I: Inquiry&Intention N: Nurture&Nourishment G: Gratitude&Gracious Living Also included is a list of Recommended Reading plus exclusive access to 21 days of bonus videos, audios and PDFs to support you on your journey.

Drop Dead Healthy: One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection
Author: A. J. Jacobs
ISBN-10: 141659907X
ISBN-13: 9781416599074
Published: 2012-04-01
Publisher: Simon & Schuster

Book Description:
New York Times bestselling author and king of “immersion journalism” A.J. Jacobs tackles his most challenging experiment yet: a yearlong mission to radically improve every element of his body and mind—from his brain to his fingertips to his abs.Having lifted his spirit in The Year of Living Biblically and sharpened his mind in The Know-It-All, A.J. Jacobs had one feat left in the self-improvement trinity: to become the healthiest man in the world. He doesn’t just want to lose weight, or finish a triathlon, or lower his cholesterol. His ambitions were far, far greater.The task was massive. First, he had to tackle a complicated web of diet and exercise advice, most which is nonsensical, unproven, and contradictory. Second, he had to consult a team of medical advisers. And finally, he had to subject himself, over the course of two years, to a grueling regimen of exercises, a range of diets and nutritional plans, and a brutal array of techniques and practices to improve everything from his hearing to his sleep—all the while testing the patience of his long-suffering wife.This latest book bursts with hilarity and warmth, all the while testing our culture’s assumptions and obsessions with what makes good health and allowing the reader to reflect on his or her own health, body, and eventual mortality.

Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It
Author: Gary Taubes
ISBN-10: 0307272702
ISBN-13: 9780307272706
Published: 2010-12-28
Publisher: Knopf

Book Description:
An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes.In his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes argued that our diet’s overemphasis on certain kinds of carbohydrates—not fats and not simply excess calories—has led directly to the obesity epidemic we face today. The result of thorough research, keen insight, and unassailable common sense, Good Calories, Bad Calories immediately stirred controversy and acclaim among academics, journalists, and writers alike. Michael Pollan heralded it as “a vitally important book, destined to change the way we think about food.” Building upon this critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Taubes now revisits the urgent question of what’s making us fat—and how we can change—in this exciting new book. Persuasive, straightforward, and practical, Why We Get Fat makes Taubes’s crucial argument newly accessible to a wider audience.Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat, and the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue. He also answers the most persistent questions: Why are some people thin and others fat? What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods should we eat, and what foods should we avoid? Packed with essential information and concluding with an easy-to-follow diet, Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it.

The Hunter/Farmer Diet Solution: Do You Have the Metabolism of a Hunter or a Farmer? Find Out...and Achieve Your Health and Weight-Loss Goals (Healthy Living (Hay House))
Author: Mark Liponis
ISBN-10: 1401935532
ISBN-13: 9781401935535
Published: 2012-04-01
Publisher: Hay House

Book Description:
     Americans are overweight, and they’re getting heavier. Other than wanting to perform invasive surgical procedures, most doctors offer little help. Their advice is usually “Eat less, exercise more,” which falls back on the outdated dogma of calories in/calories out. Medical research on dieting is confusing and often contradictory. Not only are physicians unsure about which weight-loss plan is best, but their patients are, too!     It has become an “every one for him- or herself” situation, where we’re forced to experiment, hoping to hit on the magic weight-loss formula by chance . . . and the increasing number of fad diets makes our odds of picking the right weight-loss plan even less likely. Why can’t the medical industry make sense of the overload of information and give us sound advice that actually enables people to lose weight and improve their health?     Fortunately, recent studies have shined a new light on the subject and may finally help us understand a successful way to diet. This research proves what many men and women have learned through trial and error: some do better on a low-carb diet, and others do better on a low-fat diet. This is because some people have the metabolism of a hunter, while others have the metabolism of a farmer.     In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Mark Liponis, a leading expert in preventive and integrative medicine, will show you how to determine which type you are so that you can lose weight and improve your health at the same time.    Once you know your type, you’ll be on the road to successful weight loss and greater health and well-being!
