A realistic plan to combat diabetes, our greatest health crisis For the millions of people living with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, or who are overweight and at risk but don't know where to start, Plan D can provide life-changing results. Plan D breaks down the basics of the science of diabetes, explains how reversing your insulin resistance (the root cause of type 2 diabetes) is the key, and offers support, humor, and the action plan you need to get results. With this medically supported plan, Sherri was able to lose forty pounds and keep it off through three key simple but effective strategies that helped her fight the big D. They are: Change the way you eat in simple ways, eating a low-glycemic diet . . . but with a few indulgences along the way Embrace exercise as part of your life, every day, and how to keep staying fit fun Rethink your emotional connection to food Sherri offers a way to lose weight and control diabetes without feeling deprived or chained to a strict, lifeless regimen. Plan D is flexible, sensible, and straightforward, and it works. If you're ready to make a commitment to change, perhaps after years of battling excess weight and ignoring the warning signs, Sherri can show you how, with Plan D.
From Chastity Bono, daughter of Sonny and Cher, heroine of the gay community: the first comprehensive narrative guide to the coming-out process from the perspective of gays and lesbians and their parents. Chastity Bono grew up in the spotlight cast on her parents. But nothing could have prepared her for the events of December 1990, when the tabloid newspaper the Star outed her to the world. At the time only her close friends and family knew she was gay; after the shock of that public revelation, Chastity retreated back into the closet. Coming out to her family had been difficult enough: although her father had been supportive and accepting, her mother threw her out of the house for three days. After the Star outing, it would be another five years until Chastity would decide, with her parents' blessing, to come out publicly on her own terms - and to unexpected acclaim - on the cover of The Advocate. In Family Outing Chastity weaves her own dramatic story into those of other gays and lesbians to illustrate the phases, pitfalls, and rewards of coming out. We hear how gays and lesbians often feel indescribably "different" when they are quite young, how they come to recognize and explore that difference in themselves and then deal, in various ways, with parents' reactions, those of friends and coworkers, and their own unearthed homophobia. Ultimately, we learn how enormously empowering the whole process can be. While Family Outing provides sensible, helpful advice to gays and lesbians who are thinking about coming out, it is also an important primer for parents. We hear parents talk about their difficult - but ultimately successful and satisfying - journey through their part of the coming-out experience. And in her own voice, Cher tells her side of Chastity's story, relating her suspicion, denial, confrontation, and eventual acceptance of her daughter's sexual orientation. For, as Chastity says, "Parents come out too." Practical, cogent, and personally revealing, Family Outing is a guide like no other, necessary for anyone who's ever been involved in any aspect of the coming-out process.
From Chastity Bono, daughter of Sonny and Cher, heroine of the gay community, comes the first comprehensive guide to the coming-out process, written from the perspective of both gays and lesbians and their parents.
