HCG 2.0 - Don't Starve, Eat Smart and Lose: A Modern Adaptation of the Traditional HCG Diet
Zach Laboube - 2013
As new technology and research becomes available, treatment protocols evolve, hopefully for the better. Shouldn’t the HCG diet be the same? First published in 1954, the traditional HCG diet, as seen on many of your favorite daytime TV shows, including Dr. Oz, has helped millions achieve weight loss success. However, the strict tone and rigid calorie restrictions have been very polarizing. While the concepts and theory that inspired the traditional diet are still very relevant, the protocol itself is still stuck in the 50s and in dire need of revision. Introducing HCG 2.0, authored and developed by Dr. Zach LaBoube, founder of InsideOut Wellness and Weight Loss, HCG 2.0 utilizes current research into a variety of topics such as low-carb, Ketosis dieting, the high-protein diets of Inuit Cultures and innovative new food statistics such as Estimated Glycemic Load, Fullness Factor and Caloric Ratios to add smart calories to the diet, thus making it a safer, more realistic weight loss option for the working adult. HCG 2.0 uses a BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) calculation to determine the amount of calories you’re allowed to consume. This is a significant variation from the traditional diet that only allows each dieter only 500 calories per day, whether male or female, big or small. HCG 2.0 also uses basic food chemistry to give you a wider variety of protein options and increases portion sizes of items higher in nutritional value, but void of empty calories that only contribute to weight gain. Whether you’re looking to lose weight or simply eat healthy, HCG 2.0 will accommodate. Understand Ketosis and the benefits to low-carb living. Learn the difference between positive calories and negative calories. Understand how to cut your caloric intake by 200-300 calories per day by simply addressing unnoticed habits, and much more. There’s a smarter way to lose

Saving Daylight
Jim Harrison - 2006
here’s a poet talking to you instead of around himself, while doing absolutely brilliant and outrageous things with language.”—Publishers Weekly“One is simply content to be in the presence of a writer this vital, this large-spirited.”—The New York Times Book ReviewAlthough best known for his acclaimed fiction, Jim Harrison’s poetry has earned him recognition as an “untrammeled renegade genius.” Saving Daylight, his tenth collection of poetry–and first in a decade–is grounded in thickets and rivers, birds and bears, and the solace of dogs in a crazed political world. Whether contemplating the ephemerality of 90,000,000,000 galaxies or the immediate grace of a waitress, Harrison relishes the art and mysteries of being alive. “I’m enrolled in a school without visible teachers,” he writes in the title poem, “the divine mumbling just out of ear shot.”From “The Little Appearances of God”When god visits us he sleeps without a clock in empty bird nests. He likes the view. Not too high. Not too low. He winks a friendly wink at a nearby possum who sniffs the air unable to detect the scent of this not quite visible stranger...Jim Harrison is the author of two dozen books, including Legends of the Fall and Dalva. His work has been translated into 20 languages and produced as four feature-length films. Mr. Harrison divides his time between Montana and southern Arizona.
