Book Description
Like you, Michele Chevalley Hedge wants to be able to eat delicious food, enjoy the odd glass of pinot and still feel great. Here she draws on all the latest research and many years' experience as a nutritionist to provide a solution that works for the average busy person who wants to be healthy. In our busy lives, healthy eating can often slip down our list of priorities, and when we do have time to focus on it, the sheer amount of information and advice can be overwhelming. But if we're not eating well, we feel the impact in every part of our lives. We all know a poor diet can lead to weight gain, the development of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but it also affects our moods, our ability to sleep well and our energy levels - in short, everything we need to function well in this modern age. So, what's the answer? Certainly not deprivation; all the science tells us that 'diets' (especially the extreme, yo-yo variety) don't work. What the science does show is that eating a balanced diet of nourishing wholefoods - with the odd treat thrown in - is your ticket to ageing well,a lean healthy body, a sense of vitality, abundant energy and better brain function. This book is not about yo-yo dieting or trying to fit into your jeans by Friday. It's a balanced and sustainable way of eating for long-term good health. This is a specially formatted fixed-layout ebook that retains the look and feel of the print book.

Book Description
Keto is the fastest-growing diet in America, and the holiday season poses its greatest challenge: a steady stream of parties and feasts full of carbohydrate-loaded foods (think stuffing and sweet potato casserole) and tempting desserts. With this indespensible guide, you will never feel hungry, burn fat, boost energy, and transfrom your body all while enjoying the festive season. The ketogenic diet is based on cutting carbs down almost to near-zero while upping fat intake, and it has been shown to not only help people lose weight permanently, but also be good for their health by stabilizing blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, and improving markers for heart disease, among other benefits. This book is a guide to handling your keto lifestyle throughout the holidays to both enjoy the season and still maintain a healthy diet program. Starting first with the basics of keto—what it is, how and why it works, and what you need to know about fats and carbs—readers get tips on how to prep their kitchen, entertain in style, stay on track with exercise, and get through tough moments: maintaining keto when friends and family pressure you, recovering from a “cheat,” and adjusting your diet in the short term. The centerpiece is an extensive and colorful collection of keto recipes, starting with cocktails and appetizers and going through main and side dishes, vegetarian and vegan, and spectacular desserts. We wrap up with a fun keto gift guide full of products and foods that every keto dieter will love.

Intermittent Fasting for Hungry People

Book Description
Weight gain is a problem for most of us, especially during the holidays. Some may not be happy with that newly found weight and will be ready for some fasting! What if you could follow an eating plan (not a diet!) that helps you lose weight and burn body fat, improve your overall health—including cardiovascular, metabolic, insulin and blood sugar, brain function and anti-aging—while allowing you to eat your favorite foods most of the time? Intermittent fasting does all of that, which is why it is now the fastest-growing eating lifestyle. Fasting itself has a history that goes back millennia: the ancient Greeks used it for health and mental clarity, and all the major religions include some form of spiritual fasting. Today’s fasting offers two new twists: reams of science and clinical studies showing why and how it works, and various plans that incorporate intermittent periods of fasting, making it much more sustainable (and even enjoyable).This updated guide begins with a deep dive into how intermittent fasting works in your body, producing just enough occasional cellular stress to make you stronger, while lowering insulin to “unlock” your fat stores so you can burn them off. Then we present the nuts and bolts of following four different kinds of fasting, from time-restricted (eating within an 8-hour window) to alternate-day to the Warrior plan (one meal a day). Readers will learn strategies for how to start and break their fasts, how to choose the best form for them, what to do about hunger (it’s not as hard as you think!), getting past stuck points, using the right supplements, and dealing with side effects. Finally, we offer inspiration: stories of both “regular folks” and celebrities who swear by fasting, and an exploration of the way it can change your relationship with food and eating.

Book Description
A bite of a mince pie here, an extra helping of pudding there... It all seems so innocent at the time. But as the calorific Christmas extravaganza continues apace, it might be worth bearing in mind that any extra helpings could still be clinging to your thighs and tummy in March. A study has found that extra pounds we pile on over the festive period will take a depressing three months to shift. Excessive: The average Briton consumes 2,300 calories in their Christmas lunch alone - that's 115% of a woman's RDA and 92% for a man. According to research by MSN, for Christmas lunch alone the average Brit feasted on two to three servings, consuming 2,300 calories across one meal. That accounts for 115 per cent of the recommended daily intake for women, and 92 per cent for men - and that's before taking into account the nuts, chocolates and alcohol we consume. According to the MSN survey, three quarters of those polled admit they over-indulge with abandon at Christmas, knowing they will suffer the consequences later as their waistbands begin to bulge. Nutritionist Dora Walsh said the key to not putting on weight over Christmas might be to eat slowly. Keep moving over the festive season to prevent too much weight gain. She said: 'You can still enjoy your food at Christmas without going overboard and gaining weight. "They key is to eat slowly and enjoy what you are eating without over filling, and also stay active over the Christmas period to help burn off any excess calories. 'It's about moderation, which will help avoid the extremes of gorging at Christmas and starving after. 'Any post-Christmas diet plan needs to be sensible and balanced because crash diets don't work and quick fixes won't last.' Office worker Rachel Taylor told how she knows she will pile on the pounds thanks to festive excess - and that it will be a while before she manages to slim down again. The 27-year-old, of Southampton, said: 'I like to keep trim but I'm not obsessive and I do make an exception for Christmas. 'Overindulging usually means I put on a few pounds and, because I don't believe in crash diets, it usually takes a month or two for me to lose it all.' in this book you will discover how the holiday weight gain and the sugar cravings.
