Book Description
Do you eat next to nothing and exercise for hours every week, but find it impossible to lose weight? Do your friends seem to eat what they like, but if you so much as look at a cake you pile on the pounds? If so, your problem may not be too much fat but too much fluid. THE WATERFALL DIET is a revolution in dieting. Linda Lazarides reveals that many women who are trying to lose weight (40% of the female population) would lose weight more effectively if they controlled fluid retention. Linda shows you how to easily identify if fluid retention is your problem and help you to safely lose a stone in seven days. This revised and updated edition focuses more attention to the health benefits of dealing with water retention, which is a major cause of high blood pressure as well as overweight. It is also more practical, as the author proves a 7-day menu plan and provides clearer instructions on how to follow the diet. The new edition will also include a section on water retention in pregnancy and testimonials and feedback from followers of THE WATERFAL DIET.

Pages : 339

Book Description
A generation-defining exposé of toxic beauty culture—from Botox and Instagram filters to lip flips and editing apps—and the realities of coming of age online We live in a new age of beauty. With advancements in cosmetic surgery, walk-in treatments, augmented reality face filters, photo editing apps, and exposure to more images than ever, we have the ability to craft the image we want everyone to see. We pinch, pull, squeeze, tweeze, smooth and slice ourselves beyond recognition. But is our beauty culture truly empowering? Are we really in control? In Pixel Flesh, Ellen Atlanta holds a mirror up to our modern beauty ideal, as well as the pressure to present a perfect image, to live in an age of constant comparison and curated feeds. She weaves in her personal story with others’ to reconfigure our obsession with the cult of beauty and explore the reality of living in a world of paradoxes: we know our standards are unhealthy, but understand it’s a way to succeed. We resent social media but continue to scroll. We know digital beauty is artificial, but we still strive for it. From Love Island to lip filler, blackfishing to the beauty tax, Pixel Flesh is a fascinating account of what young women face under a dominant industry. Nuanced, unflinching, and razor sharp, this book unmasks the absurdities of the standards we suddenly find ourselves upholding, and acts as a rallying cry and a refusal to suffer in silence, forming the definitive book about what it truly feels like to exist as a woman today.
