Yes, the keto diet has been around for a while; you’ve heard about it
but don’t fully understand the concept and think it’s too expensive. Or
perhaps you tried it but were overwhelmed with a deluge of often
conflicting information, so you gave up. Possibly, you are following it
faithfully but need new inspiration. Besides, there’s always new
information coming to the fore. Following on the runaway success of his
first book two years ago, Living the Ultimate Keto Lifestyle, Hendrik
Marais has decided that it’s time to introduce the ketogenic lifestyle
to even more people, while offering devotees a simplified breakdown of
the latest trends, and a completely new set of easy and delicious
recipes.
Ja, die ketodieet is al lankal bekend; jy het daarvan gehoor maar
verstaan die konsep nie heeltemal nie en dink dis te duur. Of miskien
het jy dit getoets maar is oorweldig deur ’n oorvloed dikwels
teenstrydige inligting en het jy moed opgegee. Miskien volg jy dit
noukeurig maar het jy nuwe inspirasie nodig. Daar kom in elk geval
altyd nuwe inligting na vore. Ná die wegholsukses van sy eerste boek
twee jaar gelede, Living the Ultimate Keto Lifestyle, het
Hendrik Marais besluit dis tyd om die ketogeniese leefstyl aan selfs
meer mense bekend te stel, terwyl hy aanhangers terselfdertyd ’n
vereenvoudigde uiteensetting van die jongste neigings en ’n volledige
stel maklike en smaaklike resepte wou bied.

A practical food-based guide to managing menopause symptoms – from
perimenopause and beyond – through simple and delicious recipes
Why is the scale moving in the wrong direction even though I haven’t changed my diet or exercise habits? Time and again, this is the question Dr. Mary Claire Haver’s patients asked. At first, a practicing OB/GYN, she’d dutifully advise what she’d been taught in medical school: eat less and work out more. But that standard advice didn’t solve the problems caused by perimenopause and menopause because back then she—and so many other doctors—hadn’t taken into account the physiological factors affecting women. They tend to store fat, they can have a hard time accessing that stored fat as active fuel, and their hormonal fluctuations in midlife exacerbate the situation. Then, Dr. Haver found herself in this exact predicament with the added issues of low energy, hot flashes, and brain fog. So she set out to develop a nutrition program that would meet her own and her patients’ needs once and for all. Now, more than 100,000 women have found success in Dr. Haver’s unique plan for losing dangerous belly fat and reducing menopausal symptoms by following her three interconnected strategies:
With these three principles working together, women can lose the weight they tend to gain in middle age as well as enjoy newfound energy, better sleep, less brain fog, and fewer hot flashes. Featuring forty delicious recipes, six weeks of easy-to-follow meal plans, shopping lists, and success stories of women who have changed their lives on this lifestyle plan, The Galveston Diet—named for Dr. Haver’s hometown—will revolutionize the conversation around health and empowerment during menopause and perimenopause, with health benefits that last a lifetime.
