The New York Times bestselling author of The Beck Diet Solution
teams up with her daughter and colleague at the Beck Institute for
Cognitive Behavior to teach readers how to think their way thin,
offering practical, proven tools for escaping common diet traps for
good. Most diet programs work at first. But then life
happens--stress, bad habits, holidays, travel--and we revert to bad
habits, and the weight comes back. In this invaluable book, Dr.
Judith Beck offers the solution to break free from these common
diet traps and keep the weight off for life. Dr. Beck explains that
when it comes to losing weight, it's not just about what we eat.
It's also about how we think. To consistently eat differently, we
must learn to think differently. Diets fail us because they don't
offer effective strategies for overcoming the common
traps--emotional eating, social pressure, dining out--that can
derail us. Now, she and her daughter, Deborah Beck Busis, share the
techniques they have successfully used with thousands of clients,
revealing how to overcome the thoughts and behaviors that have held
us back. With The Diet Trap Solution, readers on any diet regimen
can learn to identify their specific diet traps and create action
plans to strengthen their "resistance muscle"--making losing weight
easy, sustainable, and enjoyable.
Explains how food imparts a living wisdom that is separate from the
science of nutrient values
- Offers an approach to diet from the perspective of ancient
peoples, who understood how the energetic qualities of food affect
both physical and spiritual health
- Includes a comprehensive catalog of the energetic properties of
myriad foods--from chicken, beef, and potatoes to garlic, avocados,
zucchini, and grapefruit
Food is more than simply fuel. It imparts a living wisdom that is
beyond the science and mechanics of calories, grams, and nutrient
values. Ancient peoples, through their relationships with the
plants and animals providing their food, understood that their food
conveyed the unique energetic qualities of its source, such as
swiftness from wild deer and groundedness from root vegetables.
With the rise of agribusiness and industrial food production,
people have become disconnected from the sources of their food and
are no longer able to register the subtle rhythms, harmony, and
energies that food can convey. This separation has thrown the basic
human-food relationship out of balance--to the detriment of human
consciousness.
In "Food Energetics," Steve Gagne shows how to revitalize our
connection to food and remedy our physical and psychic imbalances
with the wisdom of food energetics. He provides a comprehensive
catalog of foods and their corresponding energetic properties and
explains how each food affects us at the deepest spiritual level.
By demonstrating how to plan meals that incorporate both dominant
and compliant foods, he shows how to provide truly healthy cuisine
that nourishes the body and the soul.
Leanne Vogel, the voice behind the highly acclaimed website
Healthful Pursuit, brings an entirely new approach to achieving

Keto Diet shows you how to transition to and maintain a whole foods
based, paleo-friendly, ketogenic diet with a key focus on practical
strategies - and tons of mouthwatering recipes. You'll have all the
tools you need to fall in love with your body and banish your fear
of fat forever!
In Big Fit Girl, Louise Green describes how the fitness industry
fails to meet the needs of plus-size women and thus prevents them
from improving their health and fitness. By telling her own story
of how she stopped dieting, got off the couch, and unleashed her
inner athlete as well as showcasing similar stories from other
women Green inspires other plus-size women to do the same. Green
also provides concrete advice, based on the latest research, about
how to get started, how to establish a support team, how to choose
an activity, what kind of clothing and gear work best for the
plus-size athlete, how to set goals, and how to improve one's
relationship with food. And she stresses the importance of paying
it forward for it is only by seeing plus-size women in leadership
roles that other plus-size women will be motivated to stop trying
to lose weight and get fit instead.
We are all living longer. The World Health Organisation predicts
that by 2050 there will be two billion people over 60 with 434
million of those over 80 years of age. But there's a catch: the
quality of those extra years of life is shockingly poor. Many of us
will find ourselves living with diseases and dependent on
non-curative drugs and health carers as a result. We are not ageing
well nor wisely. Dr Norman Lazarus, 84, is an exception. He is an
expert on the physiology of healthy human ageing and living proof
that our later years can be lived well. Even now, in his eighties,
he leads an active and medication-free lifestyle, regularly walking
and cycling long distances. Dr Lazarus has now written a remarkable
book, with the aim of helping others to stay well for longer. The
Lazarus Strategy is a part how-to and part manifesto on the art of
healthy ageing to guide readers along the path to a more active,
productive, independent future and a medication-free life. Norman
will show us that our lifestyle choices now will determine how we
will age through our golden years and how fast - in the future. The
three main factors crucial to keeping healthy are physical
activity, food and the mind. Norman explains how each of these
affect ageing and how we need to make changes to these areas of our
life from the age of 50 and beyond.
