DOWNLOAD EBOOKMainstream health science has let you down. Weight loss is not the key to health, diet and exercise are not effective weight-loss strategies and fatness is not a death sentence. You've heard it before: there's a global health crisis, and, unless we make some changes, we're in trouble. That much is true—but the epidemic is NOT obesity. The real crisis lies in the toxic stigma placed on certain bodies and the impact of living with inequality—not the numbers on a scale. In a mad dash to shrink our bodies, many of us get so caught up in searching for the perfect diet, exercise program, or surgical technique that we lose sight of our original goal: improved health and well-being. Popular methods for weight loss don't get us there and lead many people to feel like failures when they can't match unattainable body standards. It's time for a cease-fire in the war against obesity. Dr. Linda Bacon and Dr. Lucy Aphramor's Body Respect debunks common myths about weight, including the misconceptions that BMI can accurately measure health, that fatness necessarily leads to disease, and that dieting will improve health. They also help make sense of how poverty and oppression—such as racism, homophobia, and classism—affect life opportunity, self-worth, and even influence metabolism. Body insecurity is rampant, and it doesn't have to be. It's time to overcome our culture's shame and distress about weight, to get real about inequalities and health, and to show every body respect.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne of the reasons why so many people today are not getting solutions, suffering in silence, and living in situations that they do not need to live in, can be because of self-pride and fear. At the end, when we all go to the grave, what can we take with us? Can we take this pride or fear that limits us from pursuing our goals, our dreams, or our initiatives? Forget all that, and let's share what we know to inspire change today, not just for a fee, fame, or glory, but to help someone in need. The purpose of this book is to inspire others who find themselves in a situation where they are struggling with their weight, self-esteem or just need motivation for a positive lifestyle change. Winston has lost 90 pounds through exercise and diet, and have maintained this weight loss for 7 years now. If he can achieve this life-transforming results, certainly you can too. The end results are beneficial to our health and will enhance the quality of our lives. One of the hardest things for him was, overcoming the struggle of whether he should share his story or write this book, as there is the perception that one must be an expert in an area to be a writer. Furthermore, the challenge for him to stand up continually to what he -preaches- and all the other personal details kept him for years in a -should I? could I?- procrastination mode. In life, we have many trained professionals, diets, fitness facilities, and other resources available that can assist us to achieve goals. However, in his journey, he discovered that all of these supporting avenues would have been ineffective, if he did not adopt a never-say-die attitude, come hell or high water. For him, it was about putting in the hard work even if he had to do it alone.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA houseful of clutter may not be the only reason people pack on extra pounds, but research proves that it plays a big role. A recent study showed that people with supercluttered homes were 77 percent more likely to be overweight or obese! Why? Author Peter Walsh thinks it’s because people can’t make their best choices--their healthiest choices--in a cluttered, messy, disorganized home. In Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight, organizing guru Walsh comes to the rescue with a simple 6-week plan to help readers: • Clear their homes of excess "stuff" as they discover their vision for their personal space • Clear their bodies of excess pounds as they follow a healthy, supersimple eating and exercise plan • Clear their minds and spirits of the excess weight of too many possessions All the pieces are connected--and Walsh weaves them together for a 6-week program that leads readers step-by-step through decluttering their homes, their bodies, and their lives. Rodale took the program for a testdrive with two dozen volunteers who followed his plan. All reported great results--from significant weight loss to calmer minds and more organized, happier, and more efficient lives. With a room-by room organizing guide, plus supersimple recipes and an easy exercise plan, Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight is the only book to help readers clear the clutter while they zap the pounds all at the same time.

Now The 28 Days Lighter Diet teaches women how to embrace their monthly cycle and follow its guidance so that they know when to push themselves, when to treat themselves to some well-earned rest, and how to keep their hormones in balance. It explains what to do during every week of the month to shed excess weight, ease PMS, and do it by working with your body instead of beating it into submission. The female body changes from week to week, and traditional diet and workout programs never acknowledge this phenomenon.

It outlines a core program of dietary suggestions, fitness guidelines, specific exercises, and lifestyle recommendations for each of the phases of the menstrual cycle and how to take care of yourself throughout the month.
