How to Have Your Cake and Your Skinny Jeans Too: Stop Binge Eating, Overeating and Dieting For Good Get the Naturally Thin Body You Crave From the Inside Out (Thinside Out)
Josie Spinardi - 2013
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!)
Chronotherapy: Resetting Your Inner Clock to Boost Mood, Alertness, and Quality Sleep
Michael Terman - 2012
Michael Terman, PhD, has devoted his career to studying the brain functions that feed these disorders. His discoveries in chronotherapy have been widely recognized as game-changers by the medical establishment, and his 2010 New York Times op-ed, “Sleeping (or Not) by the Wrong Clock,” shot to number one on the paper’s list of most-forwarded online articles. In Chronotherapy, Terman and McMahan reveal the heart of his findings, a powerful program that recalibrates our internal clocks—our exquisitely designed, natural sensitivity to the timing and brightness of light exposure. These delicate mechanisms are often decimated by the modern demands of a 24/7 lifestyle.Beginning with a questionnaire that pinpoints the problem areas, Terman helps readers decipher when their natural internal night begins and ends. The treatment process can then start, incorporating the power of natural light and, when necessary, supplemental light therapy. His approach has brought relief to thousands of sleep sufferers, as well as those burdened by bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, depression, sleep disorders due to around-the-clock work schedules, and other impediments to vibrant health. For the first time, his findings are now available for a general audience, sharing the essential elements of chronobiology in clear, authoritative, scientifically grounded chapters that are easy to apply to a variety of situations. Chronotherapy chapters include: PART ONE: TIME, SLEEP, AND RHYTHMSChapter 1: External vs. Internal TimeThe clock on the wall measures twenty-four hours every day, but the clock in your brain runs a little different. How can you help them work together?Chapter 2: The Pressure to SleepThe longer you stay awake, the more pressure you feel to sleep. But what if your inner clock says it is not yet ready for sleep?Chapter 3: Owls, Larks, and HummingbirdsWhat kind of “bird” are you? And once you know, how can that help you figure out when best to get stuff done?PART TWO: TIME, LIGHT, AND THE BRAINChapter 4: Getting Light into the BrainHow do your eyes pass signals to your inner clock, and what makes those signals so important?Chapter 5: Getting Light WrongSeeing light and being in darkness are basic daily experiences. But what happens when they come at the wrong times, and why does that have such negative consequences for mood, alertness, and sleep?Chapter 6: Geography and TimeEast or west, south or north, how can where you live have such a huge impact on your mood and sleep?PART THREE: INTERVENTIONSChapter 7: Healing Light How can light help you solve your sleep problems, have more energy, and feel more positive about life? Why do the details matter so much?Chapter 8: Nighttime Meds and MelatoninDo you rely on pills to get to sleep? They may not work, and they may be bad for you. But a new approach based on the brain’s inner clock holds great promise.Chapter 9: Hospitalized with DepressionWhen someone becomes so depressed they need to go to the hospital, what promise does chronotherapy offer for a quick turnaround and continued improvement?Chapter 10: Beyond Light: The Charge in the AirWhat is it about spending a day at the beach that gives you such a lift? And how can you use new technology to bring that feeling of wellbeing into your home?PART FOUR: STAGES OF LIFEChapter 11: The Promise of PregnancyYou are going to have a baby! You are thrilled, but a little apprehensive too. How can chronotherapy help you through the next nine months?Chapter 12: Strategies for Babies and ChildrenWhen your baby or child sleeps well and feels good, you feel better too. How can chronotherapy help you reach this goal?Chapter 13: The Challenges of AdolescenceAs a teen, why do you feel the need to stay up so late and sleep so late? What are the consequences for your mood, health, and schoolwork? What simple steps can you take to put your life on a smoother course?Chapter 14: In Later YearsDoes getting older have to mean being tired, sleeping badly, and feeling down? How can you or someone you care about reverse these trends by using light?PART FIVE: CHRONOTHERAPY IN YOUR LIFEChapter 15: Coping with Shift WorkWhat if your job puts you on duty when your inner clock says you should be asleep? How can chronotherapy help you stay awake, alert, and in a decent mood?Chapter 16: Racing the Clock, Racing the Sun You are traveling across the world and you need to be in high gear tomorrow. How can chronotherapy prepare you for the trip and help you recover from jet lag as quickly as possible?Chapter 17: Chronobiology in the Home and WorkplaceHow will the collaboration of chronobiologists and architects transform the places you live, work, and learn?Chapter 18: Dawn of a Circadian ScienceWhy is mainstream medicine so slow to put the insights of chronotherapy into practice?

Live a Little!: Breaking the Rules Won't Break Your Health
Susan M. Love - 2009
. . .Yes, it’s true—more or less. Why? Women do need to eat healthier, exercise, get adequate sleep, and take preventive health care seriously, yet it’s equally important for them to relax. Relax, take a breather, and give up trying to follow the narrowly prescribed health “rules” that are constant sources of unhealthy stress and guilt. In Live a Little!, women finally get a long-overdue dose of realism about what’s truly healthy and what’s mostly hype. Susan Love and Alice Domar take on the health police, whose edicts make us feel terrible when we don’t get eight hours of sleep or eat the maximum daily serving of veggies. Most important, they remind us of a forgotten truth: Perfect health is not achievable.Breaking down the prevailing health “musts” in six areas—sleep, stress, preventive care, exercise, nutrition, and personal relationships—these doctors, with a little help from the other experts of BeWell, cut to the heart of these topics and give us realistic guidelines for living a healthy enough life, one that also includes laughter, relaxation, and a commonsense attitude about being pretty healthy.To learn more health truths and whittle down your overblown expectations of yourself, open this book. Using science combined with these experts’ surprisingly refreshing opinions, Live a Little! shows you how to be healthy without driving yourself crazy!

Told with empathy and humour, in THE AGE-WELL PROJECT Annabel and Susan share the 50 key lessons they learned, the meals they cooked and the experts' tips they uncovered to make the second half of your life the best half of your life - happy, healthy and disease-free.
