The Starch Solution: Eat the Foods You Love, Regain Your Health, and Lose the Weight for Good!
John A. McDougall - 2012
McDougall, MD, and his kitchen-savvy wife, Mary, turn the notion that starch is bad for you on its head. The Starch Solution is based on a simple swap: fueling your body primarily with carbohydrates rather than proteins and fats. This will help you lose weight and prevent a variety of ills.Fad diets come and go, but Dr. McDougall has been a proponent of the plant-based diet for decades, and his medical credibility is unassailable. He is one of the mainstay experts cited in the bestselling and now seminal China Study—called the “Grand Prix of epidemiology” by the New York Times. But what The China Study lacks is a plan.Dr. McDougall grounds The Starch Solution in rigorous scientific fact and research, giving readers easy tools to implement these changes into their lifestyle with a 7-Day Quick Start Plan and 100 delicious recipes. This book includes testimonials from among the hundreds Dr. McDougall has received, including people who have lost more than 125 pounds in mere months as well as patients who have conquered lifethreatening illnesses such as diabetes and cardiac ailments.
Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead: How Fruits & Vegetables Changed My Life
Joe Cross - 2011
He decided to make a major change, so he did something radical: he decided to embark on a sixty-day "Reboot" to give his body a chance to detoxify and heal itself. For two straight months, he drank only fresh fruit and vegetable juices - no solid food of any kind, no soda, no coffee, no alcohol. He decided to turn his Reboot into a journey across the U.S. and bring a film crew along to capture him talking with the people he met along the way, sharing his experience (and his juice). He made a hugely inspirational film about the experience, also called Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. This book details his journey.

Grace Lewis - 2019
You have survived 100% of your worst days. My relationship with my covert narcissist left me confused, broken, and utterly drained. I didn’t think anyone could ever understand what I went through. Trying to explain it was hard enough. He didn’t yell, he didn’t hit, yet no one had ever caused me so much pain and then turned around and said I had only myself to blame. That’s what makes covert narcissists so dangerous, they’re so subtle and quiet, masters of deceit. If you feel like you have been pushed to the brink of insanity, losing control, forgetting who you even are I want to let you know that you are not alone. What helped me eventually overcome my deep attachment to my narc was understanding how the mind of a narcissist works and understanding what was going on in my own head while all of this was happening. By identifying the nature of the covert narcissist, recognizing the abuse cycle, and understanding the manipulation tactics I was able to finally stop the madness inside my head. In this book I go over all these points as well as reasons why we’re attracted to the narcissist, why they’re attracted to us, and most importantly tips on moving on after experiencing this type of abuse. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...

Dan Buettner - 2008

National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner has traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity found in the Blue Zones: places in the world where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long, full lives. And in this dynamic book he discloses the recipe, blending this unique lifestyle formula with the latest scientific findings to inspire easy, lasting change that may add years to your life.Buettner's colossal research effort, funded in part by the National Institute on Aging, has taken him from Costa Rica to Italy to Japan and beyond.

You'll meet a 94-year-old farmer and self-confessed "ladies man" in Costa Rica, an 102-year-old grandmother in Okinawa, a 102-year-old Sardinian who hikes at least six miles a day, and others. By observing their lifestyles, Buettner's teams have identified critical everyday choices that correspond with the cutting edge of longevity research-and distilled them into a few simple but powerful habits that anyone can embrace.
Adrenal Fatigue : Understanding the Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue
Eric Berg DC - 2012
You will learn the symptoms of adrenal fatigue, how the adrenal really works and its purpose as well as powerful non-drug acupressure techniques. No other book has put together a comprehensive overview of the adrenal fatigue and its associated symptoms. What you are going to learn is that many of the so-called diseases that doctors label people are only symptoms of a fatigued adrenal. This includes chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, IBS, insomnia, acid reflux, GERD, high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, low vitamin D levels, anxiety, depression and even belly fat. Enjoy the book and enlighten yourself with the truth of adrenal fatigue.About the author: Dr. Eric Berg DC has been in practice for over 25 years and has helped over 35,000 people. He regularly conducts health seminars for the FBI, FCC, NIH, Library of Congress, Dept. of Justice, National Science Foundation and many more.

Dr. Berg has appeared on may TV and radio shows including Fox and Friends.Dedication: This book is dedicated to the many people who have been told, “Your tests are normal, it’s all in your head; here’s a card to a Psychiatrist”! The truth is that these symptoms are real and doctors tend to not look at the patient, and instead focused on disease tests. In order for the adrenal gland to show positive, you would have to have 90% non-responsive, which I explain in the book and this has been taken from highly credible medical physiology texts books.

Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks.In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen -- a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day.

And far more importantly...I am going to teach you the skills you need to win the food fight once and for all--without dieting.If you're looking for a real, proven step-by-step solution to stop overeating and binge eating for good--so you can finally get thin and get on with your amazing life--then this book is for you.Is food your best friend--and your worst enemy? Are you stuck in a relentless tug-of-war between wanting (desperately) to lose weight, and the out-of-control urge to eat? Does your firm morning resolve to "be good" with food consistently crumble into a night of takeout on the couch, watching TV with Ben & Jerry. Do you love food, but at the same time, part of you hates it with a passion, and would be perfectly happy if you never ate again--if it just meant you could finally be thin?Let me come right out and say it. It's not you! There are clear-cut, solvable reasons why your eating currently feels frustrating and at times painfully out of control.You've simply been trying to solve the problem (excess weight and overeating) with a solution (dieting and exercise) that does nothing to resolve the real reasons you feel so out of control with food. The problem is not your lack of nutritional knowledge.Knowing how many calories (or carbs!) are in a thick fudgy brownie does absolutely nothing to equip you with the skills to stop binge eating it after a long hard day at work. Are you going to scream if another weight loss book tells you to "take a bath" instead of binge eating?Overeating and binge eating are learned behavioral patterns that can be eradicated once you learn a few simple actionable psychological skills.But not the type of "fluff psychology" you find in most emotional eating books that advise you to "take a walk", "read a book" or "take warm bath" when you feel the urge to overeat. Really? That advice is absolutely useless. (And maddening!) As if when you're in that pre-binge frenzy, parked outside the minimart tearing into a bag of chips and a box of donuts, you're going to hear that advice and say, "Wow, why didn't I think of that? I'll put down these salty grease glistening chips and thick chocolate frosted donuts and head home to read Pride and Prejudice." Not so much.The solution to binge eating and overeating is found in step-by-step research based learn-able skills that prevent and eliminate overeating on the spot. The skills (you'll be happy to know) do not include deprivation or willpower. Since willpower and deprivation don't actually work. I mean, if they did work to yield lasting weight loss we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. Right?Find out exactly why your best weight loss efforts have failed in the past--and more importantly, exactly what you can do to change it. Today.Learn how to eliminate the single behavior that 70 years of scientific research proves causes overeating, binge eating, and feeling out of control with foodUncover the secret to being able to keep any food in your house--without it calling your nameDiscover the two keys that make it a cinch to stop eating any food when you've had enough (even chocolate cake or a cheeseburger!)
