Ketogenic Diet: Lose Weight, Improve Your Mental Focus, And Increase Your Energy Levels In Just 30 Days With This Step-By-Step Guide For Beginners (Weight Loss, Cookbook, Low-Carb, Keto Diet)


John Smith - 2017
    If you are not healthy, you can’t live your best life. Working all those hours may help you get a successful life, but your negligence towards your body will make you too ill to enjoy it. If you are reading this, you have probably realized that you need to make some changes. An essential part of leading a healthy life is a healthy diet. Most people hardly pay attention to what or how much they eat these days. However, this is one of the leading causes of your body being in the state it is now. Another thing that has affected our lives is all the options out there on what you can eat. This is one of the main reasons why the majority of the population is overweight or diagnosed with diseases like type two diabetes. So if you don’t want to be one of those people or make improvements, if you already are, this is the right place to be. As people are becoming more conscious of their bodies, one of their primary goals is to lose weight. But they are all going about it the wrong way. All the fad diets out there are misleading and giving false hope to people. However, one diet which I genuinely believe works is the ketogenic diet. In this book, I am going to tell you exactly why I believe the keto diet works and how you can use it to get fit. It is not like other fad diets that tell you to eat less or only eat a choice few vegetables. They may claim to help you lose weight in a week, but they rarely work and are not a healthy option at all. The keto diet is very contrasting to such diets and tells you to eat more of something all other diets ban, that is fats. It may sound astounding, but once you read the rest of the book, you’ll see why it makes sense. This diet is all about eating more fats and proteins while you cut down on carbs from your diet. You can eat as much as you want in a healthy way but without having to count calories. This diet is something that follows how our ancestors ate care freely without having to worry about their weight. What you need to understand is that fats are not your enemy and never have been. The reason you have gained all that excess weight is mostly due to the processed foods sold everywhere. The food industry has influenced our diet in a very unhealthy way. The fact is wholesome natural foods will always be better than any processed food. The latter contains all kinds of harmful additives and is in no way as nutritious as the former. You now need to learn and make better choices by eating a balanced diet with healthy natural fats, proteins, and minimal carbohydrates. This is how you can lose weight and get in shape. You will also see that you are more energetic and happier than ever before. Food influences your life to a significant extent, so it is important to eat better if you want to live better, and this book will help you do just that! Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...

Pompeii: An Archaeological Guide


Paul Wilkinson - 2017
    Two million visitors annually now walk the paved streets which re-emerged, miraculously preserved, from their layers of volcanic ash. Yet for all the fame and unique importance of the site, there is a surprising lack of a handy archaeological guide in English to reveal and explain its public spaces and private residences. This compact and user-friendly handbook, written by an expert in the field, helpfully fills that gap. Illustrated throughout with maps, plans, diagrams and other images, Pompeii: An Archaeological Guide offers a general introduction to the doomed city followed by an authoritative summary and survey of the buildings, artefacts and paintings themselves. The result is an unrivalled picture, derived from an intimate knowledge of Roman archaeology around the Bay of Naples, of the forum, temples, brothels, bath-houses, bakeries, gymnasia, amphitheatre, necropolis and other site buildings-including perennial favourites like the House of the Faun, named after its celebrated dancing satyr.
