We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, but despite being
inundated with diet advice we are only getting fatter. We count
calories and exercise regularly, yet still the pounds won't budge.
Why? In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung
sets out a groundbreaking new theory: that obesity is caused by our
hormones, rather than a lack of self-control. He reveals that
overproduction of insulin in the body is the root cause of obesity
and obesity-related illnesses including type 2 diabetes, and offers
robust scientific evidence that reversing insulin resistance is the
only way to lose weight in the long term. It turns out that when we
eat is just as important as what we eat, so in addition to his five
basic steps - a set of life-long eating habits that will improve
your health and control your insulin levels - Dr Fung explains how
to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin
resistance and reach a healthy weight - for good.

"Essential reading for any woman wanting to improve her metabolic
health and make sense of her body, hormones, and sustainable
fasting strategies. "—Cynthia Thurlow, author of Intermittent
Fasting Transformation "Intermittent fasting has changed my body,
mind, and life. I am truly grateful and humbled by humans like
Megan who are sharing the truth about health."—Raven-Symoné
Struggling with your metabolism and hormone health? Disappointed by
diets that don’t provide sustainable, long term results? Sick of
feeling tired and stressed all the time? Megan Ramos was in the
same position when she discovered intermittent fasting at the
clinic where she was a researcher. After suffering from
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, PCOS, and type 2 diabetes, she
harnessed the power of fasting to reverse these conditions, lose
over 80 pounds, and achieve long-lasting health. Today, as the
co-founder of The Fasting Method with Dr. Jason Fung, she has
helped over 20,000 people, primarily women, improve their wellbeing
through intermittent fasting. In The Essential Guide to
Intermittent Fasting for Women, Ramos shares: Easy-to-use fasting
protocols that can be incorporated into your busy schedule
Information on when and how to eat to feel full and energized How
intermittent fasting can support your health through fertility
struggles, PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause How balancing your
hormones and stress levels can help you avoid weight gain and
depression Designed specifically for women of all ages and their
unique needs, this go-to guide provides you with the steps to take
control of your health—for good.
Author of the international bestsellers The Diabetes Code and The
Obesity Code Dr. Jason Fung returns with an eye-opening biography
of cancer in which he offers a radical new paradigm for
understanding cancer--and issues a call to action for reducing risk
moving forward. Our understanding of cancer is slowly undergoing a
revolution, allowing for the development of more effective
treatments. For the first time ever, the death rate from cancer is
showing a steady decline . . . but the "War on Cancer" has hardly
been won. In The Cancer Code, Dr. Jason Fung offers a revolutionary
new understanding of this invasive, often fatal disease--what it
is, how it manifests, and why it is so challenging to treat. In
this rousing narrative, Dr. Fung identifies the medical community's
many missteps in cancer research--in particular, its focus on
genetics, or what he terms the "seed" of cancer, at the expense of
examining the "soil," or the conditions under which cancer
flourishes. Dr. Fung--whose groundbreaking work in the treatment of
obesity and diabetes has won him international acclaim--suggests
that the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by the
dysregulation of insulin. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes
significantly increase an individual's risk of cancer. In this
accessible read, Dr. Fung provides a new paradigm for dealing with
cancer, with recommendations for what we can do to create a hostile
soil for this dangerous seed. One such strategy is intermittent
fasting, which reduces blood glucose, lowering insulin levels.
Another, eliminating intake of insulin-stimulating foods, such as
sugar and refined carbohydrates. For hundreds of years, cancer has
been portrayed as a foreign invader we've been powerless to stop.
By reshaping our view of cancer as an internal uprising of our own
healthy cells, we can begin to take back control. The seed of
cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to change the soil is
in our hands.
A Psychoanalytic Approach to Smoking Cessation: The Cigarette as a
Transitional Object provides an accessible understanding to the
unconscious motive behind smoking addiction using Winnicott’s
concept of the transitional object. The book is divided
thematically into six parts. Ko begins by outlining the conscious
motives for smoking from a psychological perspective and looks at
commercial research conducted by the tobacco industry, before using
psychoanalytically informed cross-disciplinary literature to assess
the unconscious motives for smoking. She expertly introduces
Winnicott’s view on smoking addiction, using his concept of the
transitional object, and highlights the power of the Free
Association Narrative Interview method in accessing the unconscious
and embedded emotional experiences. Using clinical examples, she
illustrates the benefits of this method as a tool to elicit free
associations from research respondents. She details the parallels
between the individual respondents’ smoking experience, as well
as their relationship with cigarettes and the seven qualities of
transitional objects outlined by Winnicott in his 1953 landmark
paper. Ko concludes by emphasising the significance and
implications of this thesis to smokers and public health policy, as
well as the smoking cessation approach and proposed directions for
future research. This book is an essential resource for
psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working in smoking cessation
organisations, as well as those working in addiction services.
The book first explores the cybersecurity's landscape and the
inherent susceptibility of online communication system such as
e-mail, chat conversation and social media in cybercrimes. Common
sources and resources of digital crimes, their causes and effects
together with the emerging threats for society are illustrated in
this book. This book not only explores the growing needs of
cybersecurity and digital forensics but also investigates relevant
technologies and methods to meet the said needs. Knowledge
discovery, machine learning and data analytics are explored for
collecting cyber-intelligence and forensics evidence on
cybercrimes. Online communication documents, which are the main
source of cybercrimes are investigated from two perspectives: the
crime and the criminal. AI and machine learning methods are applied
to detect illegal and criminal activities such as bot distribution,
drug trafficking and child pornography. Authorship analysis is
applied to identify the potential suspects and their social
linguistics characteristics. Deep learning together with frequent
pattern mining and link mining techniques are applied to trace the
potential collaborators of the identified criminals. Finally, the
aim of the book is not only to investigate the crimes and identify
the potential suspects but, as well, to collect solid and precise
forensics evidence to prosecute the suspects in the court of law.

'A rich and intimate examination of female desire, Maxine's book is
full of wisdom and insight. I cannot recommend it enough' Julia
Samuel After thirty years of research, Sigmund Freud still felt the
great unanswered question was: 'What does a woman want?' Fifteen
years into her own journey as a psychotherapist, Maxine Mei-Fung
Chung believes her collaboration with her patients holds the
answers. Through the profound and moving stories of seven very
different women, Maxine Mei-Fung Chung sheds light on our most
fundamental needs and desires. From a young bride-to-be struggling
to accept her sexuality, to a mother grappling with questions of
identity and belonging, and a woman learning to heal after years of
trauma, What Women Want is an electrifying and deeply intimate
exploration into the inner lives of women. Based on hours of
conversations between Maxine and her patients, this book lays bare
our fears, hopes, secrets and capacity for healing. With great
empathy and precision, What Women Want presents a fearless look
into the depths of who we are, so that we can better understand
each other and ourselves. To desire is an action. This
extraordinary book liberates and empowers us to claim what we truly
want.
