How 2 Look Good Naked was created after a decade long search to find the best way to exercise efficiently, effectively, and with results worth talking about. For the longest time I was indoctrinated with the idea that, more exercise equals better exercise, and as I've found through my journey in the last two years, this is absolutely not the case. This book is a beginners approach (the one I took) to the field of evidence based exercise. Hopefully to be used as a tool to get readers more interested in the field of Evidence Based Exercise (sometimes called High Intensity Training), or at the very least to help people convinced they don't have the time to get results from less than an hour of training per week. The diet portion of this book is a blend of my own personal experience with the Ketogenic Diet. What has worked for me (and been extremely effective) and the parts that didn't serve me. My hope is with both the exercise and diet portion of this book, people will find something different they've never experienced before. More than following my plan to the letter, I hope it invigorates readers (through some success) to inquire what else could work for them, and to pursue that. I don't proclaim to know anything (or even very much), but I hope this book offers readers an opportunity to get interested in their own health and to become experts of their own bodies. I wish everyone who reads this the best of luck on their own fitness journey, and I hope if anything, I can just help along the way.
We all want to present a certain image and the image varies depending on the situation and the group of people. What can we show them about ourselves without revealing too much? What will impress them? What can I make them believe about me?Let's be honest. It is why we wear spanx, push up bra's and uncomfortable [but pretty] shoes. We want the world around us to see what we want them to see. So we cram our mommy muffin tops into our shape wear feeling fit for a time until we peel ourselves back out of them. We put on our arm candy and baubles so when we pass our business card it adds that extra pop to our image. None of these things are bad, don't get us wrong, we just want to make the point. We hide behind tough expressions and shiny exteriors none of which shows the real us. We want to be known - to be known as or to be known for - providing the image for the world to see but never showing the naked us. The vulnerable spirit inside that is stripped down bare and beautiful just as it is.
In a society where pregnant women laugh, cry, and commiserate about their unavoidable and unsightly pregnancy symptoms, it seems crazy to suggest that these symptoms are actually avoidable. In Primal Moms Look Good Naked, Peggy Emch challenges conventional pregnancy wisdom—that the fate of a pregnant woman and new mothers is ugly and undesirable—and explains how eating the foods we were designed to eat can reduce or even eliminate most of the embarrassing signs new mothers go to extremes to cover up. Supported by scientific research, observational accounts of traditional peoples, and her own journey into vibrant health, Emch explains how a beautiful pregnant body is a reflection of the mother and baby's good health. Each chapter focuses on a different common pregnancy complaint, identifies causes, and details ways to prevent and repair them. Some of the topics include: • Stretch marks • Cellulite • Varicose and spider veins • Diastasis Recti • Flabby belly • Skin problems Emch incorporates her years of experience and research into a practical plan for achieving and maintaining excellent physical health and, consequently, good looks throughout pregnancy. In Primal Moms Look Good Naked, Emch reveals • How a Paleolithic diet can heal your skin tone, color, and texture • How pregnancy cravings and trips to the ice cream aisle in the middle of the night are not normal symptoms of pregnancy • How stretch marks and cellulite are signs of dietary insufficiencies • How the junk we eat and the healthy food we don't affects not only our bodies, but also the bodies of our babies • How just a little bit of weight bearing exercise each week can transform our aging bodies into beautiful, youthful ones Primal Moms Look Good Naked is a complete guide for women seeking a healthy pregnancy and baby. It includes a full nutritional guide, recipes, and an exercise program suitable for women of all athletic abilities.

What would it look like if an Avenger turned up to help in youth work? Perhaps it would breathe a fresh sense of purpose. Maybe the primary response would be relief that backup had arrived. They would certainly pull a crowd for a few weeks at least. Looking for a superhero might be a good idea. But there is a better one. It's called the church. Boring? Irrelevant? All dressed up but nowhere to go? Looking Good Naked strips off the ill-fitting outfits and recovers a biblical theology of the church as the body of Christ, drawing on the narratives of youth work and ministry. Written for the student of youth ministry, full-timer, part-timer or extra-timer, it is an engaging, practical, and deep book, seeking to renew our confidence in who we are in light of whose we are, so we can better engage with young people.
