This book is not about what you need to stop doing to lose fat – because focusing on what you should not do is enough to make you not want to start at all. In 40KGs LIGHTER, Mandy Meyer shifts the focus to what you can start doing today, without feeling
overwhelmed.

Mandy has not only lost 40 kilograms – she’s successfully kept it off for several years, something most people struggle to do. After countless rounds of yo-yo dieting, pub crawls, 3 am cheesy fries, and starting fresh every Monday, she finally cracked the code to
sustainable fat loss.

In this down-to-earth, humorous, and no-nonsense book, Mandy shares the mindset shifts, powerful lessons, and everyday strategies that helped her stop starting over each new week and build a healthy lifestyle that finally stuck.

Packed with personal stories, practical tips, and straight-up truth bombs, you will get to grips with the real science of fat loss – and more importantly, how to create a way of eating and exercising that works for you.

Whether you’ve got five kilograms or 50 to lose, this book will help you ditch the diets, break free from restrictions, and build a healthier life on your own terms.

Get ready to unlock sustainable weight-loss tools for real people, ready for real change.

Fat is the most expensive component in confectionery such as chocolate. It may comprise of cocoa butter, milk fat, palm oil, lauric oil, exotic fats, etc. This new handbook, with a large number of figures and tables, provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects of confectionery fats, with particular emphasis on the later. Unlike sugar confectionery, chocolate is a fat-continuous product and the sugar, like the other non-fat components, is merely mixed with the fat rather than melted/boiled. The properties of chocolate confectionery are thus determined mainly by the fat, which comprises about 26-35% in a typical chocolate formulation.
The book describes the essential physical chemistry needed to understand the properties of confectionery fats, analytical methods, raw materials, the production and properties of confectionery fats, and their application in sugar and chocolate confectionery. It concludes with consideration of legislation and regulatory aspects of producing confectionery and of using milk fat, cocoa butter and alternative fats together with a chapter on analytical methods for detecting and quantifying confectionery fats. Finally, four appendixes provide: a glossary of terms and abbreviations used; details of confectionery fat manufacturers; details of confectionary fat products produced by these manufacturers; and a list of websites from other relevant organizations that the reader may find useful.

Jy voel al so lank moeg, tam, lam en futloos dat jy nie eers meer besef hoe gedaan jy is nie. Of jy sukkel oor en oor om dieselfde paar kilogramme af te skud - en dikwels kom daar net nog by. Niks werk nie! En die kere wanneer dit wel werk, is dit net as jy streng by die voorskrifte hou, want sodra jy weer begin "normaal" eet, keer dinge maar net weer terug na waar dit voorheen was. Jy is nie siek nie, het nie 'n koors nie, bloedtoetse wys nie abnormaliteite nie en daarom kry jou dokter Niks verkeerd nie ... nog nie. Jy kan ook niks daaromtrent verander nie want jy weet nie wat dit is wat jy moet verander nie. Kan dit so ingewikkeld wees?
