In the spirit of his best-selling humor titles The Little Book of Stress and The Little Book of Wrong Shui, Rohan Candappa brings us The Retox Diet. It's the only diet book you'll ever need-the only diet you will ever stick to. Let us be absolutely clear. The Retox Diet won't help you lose weight, get fit, or develop a healthy lifestyle. It is jam-packed with bad advice such as Each day aim to eat at least five portions of chocolate, and Guys, we're all going to die. Is eighty years of breakfasting on Bran Flakes really that much better than seventy years of eggs and bacon? No, it won't help you shed pounds, but it's much more fun than whatever diet craze is sweeping the nation. How many calories can you burn from shaking with laughter? On second thought, The Retox Diet just might help you lose weight after all!
This is a hilarious guide to an alternative diet programme involving Skittles (the ultimate superfood), toxercise (how to dance to Abba without spilling your V&T), Actimel-style Baileys shots and the all-new fried breakfast healthy shake. Start warming up for those marathon party sessions with Dr Judith. We'll guarantee* (with the help of four-inch heels, concealer and white wine) to make you taller, more gorgeous and wittier in just ten days. This book is for everyone who has ever held their stomach in for the first twenty minutes of a party rather than going on a crash diet, or sighed at the prospect of a proper shake for breakfast. It is the perfect Christmas stocking-filler for anyone who has ever attempted to diet. *We cannot make guarantees of any kind
Practical health and wellness strategies for real life from Lauren Imparato, creator of the I.AM.YOU. lifestyle brand and yoga studio. Rest to rage. Meditate to work. Cleanse to get dirty. Enough preaching about self-deprivation. No more striving for bodily purity. Who has the patience—or the time!—for strict dietary restrictions and hours of meditation? Let’s get real. These tactics just don’t work—at least not for long. But that doesn’t mean health and happiness are unobtainable. Most often you just need an anxiety buster you can do while running down the street. Or a yoga pose you can do at your desk. Or a way to debloat what feels like an alien baby in your abdomen. Retox isn’t about changing who you are or denying life’s pleasures. It’s about tailoring sensible, scientifically-based health practices to the life you already live. It’s about working hard, playing harder, and renewing your balance and energy so you can do it all again. In Retox, health expert Lauren Imparato strips yoga down to its anatomical principles, offering practical tips for fast relief. Then, drawing from a variety of disciplines—from psychology to nutrition to Tibetan philosophy—she designs no-nonsense strategies and delicious recipes to combat the most common challenges of modern life: • Stress and anxiety • Low energy • Back pain and headaches • Hangovers • PMS • Sleep Deprivation • And much more...
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The truth is that these diets don’t work for most women because they fail to address the hormonal root cause. Hormonal misfires leave women with a broken metabolism and store fat no matter what they do. #2 The prevailing nutritional paradigm is what I call outside in, which is the hard-driving, forced march of restricting calories and maybe carbohydrates. This strategy is external and focused on physical requirements, instead of addressing the emotional issues women face. #3 When your metabolism is broken, you’ll get fatter no matter what you do. The good news is that you can fix it and prevent or even reverse these conditions. #4 The Hormone Reset focuses on making specific dietary changes, starting with eliminating meat and alcohol, which resets your estrogen, liver, and gut microbiome. Every three days, you’ll cut out specific metabolism-wrecking foods and trade them up for better foods, which will reset your misfiring hormones.
A practical guide to preventing and treating the toxic assault on our bodies • Shows how the practices of periodic detox and “rational retox” can counteract the toxic nature of our modern lifestyles, diets, and environment • Provides ancient Chinese methods and remedies that help the body repair itself • Includes detoxification techniques, formulas, and exercises that work within 10 days Despite the wonders of modern medicine, the state of human health throughout the world is eroding at an alarming rate. The long-term accumulation of toxins and acid waste in our bodies--both from the chemically contaminated air we breathe and water we drink as well as the toxins we ingest in the form of low quality food, preservatives, and additives--damages our organs, corrodes our joints and arteries, enervates our nervous system, and inhibits our immune system. Chronic pain and fatigue, hypertension and heart failure, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, indigestion, insomnia, and even acne, are all caused by the long-term accumulation of toxins in our bodies. In The Tao of Detox Daniel Reid combines traditional Eastern practices and the latest of modern Western thinking to offer detoxification methods that can repair in as little as seven to ten days much of the long-term damage done. He provides breathing exercises, massage techniques, and soft exercises such as yoga and tai chi that help the body to heal itself. He also explains the importance of “rational retoxification,” which allows the careful reintroduction of less healthy substances, and offers ways to counteract those toxins we can’t--or don’t want to--avoid, including alcohol and tobacco. Reid explains that, just as we care for our cars with regular tune-ups, by practicing periodic detox as well as “rational retox,” we can enjoy long and healthy lives and still be able to “eat, drink, and be merry.”
This deluxe edition of Retox includes exclusive videos of yoga poses and sequences, audio meditations, and healthy meal cooking demonstrations that can be applied to even the busiest active lifestyles. A healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be built around self-deprivation, hours of meditation, and strict dietary restrictions. In fact, these tactics almost never work—at least not for long. But that doesn’t mean health and happiness are unobtainable. Most often you just need an anxiety buster you can do while running down the street. Or a yoga pose you can do at your desk. Or a way to debloat what feels like an alien baby in your abdomen. Retox isn’t about changing who you are or denying life’s pleasures.

Achieve vibrant health by combining ancient Taoist principles, modern alternative health practices, and acid-alkaline balance • Offers complete guidelines on what to eat for different yin-yang constitutions, specific health problems and organ systems, and energetic conditions • Provides detailed information on fasting, detoxification, and food combining for acid-alkaline and yin-yang balance • Includes illustrated guides to several self-diagnostic methods from the East, allowing you to interpret your body’s signs before disease manifests The human body, like all phenomena in nature, possesses the inherent power of self-regeneration when the conditions of true health are adopted. In Cosmic Nutrition, Taoist Master Mantak Chia and senior Universal Tao teacher William Wei reveal the secret to true health and longevity: keeping all four bodies--physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual--vibrant and balanced. They show you how to work with the four bodies through simple, step-by-step nutritional and energetic practices for everyday life. Combining the ancient Taoist principles of yin and yang energy with acid-alkaline balance and metabolic body types, the authors offer complete guidelines on what to eat for different yin-yang constitutions, specific health problems and organ systems, and energetic conditions. They provide an easy-to-follow food combining method for acid-alkaline and yin-yang balance, recipes for healing meals, detailed information on fasting and detoxification, and illustrated guides to several self-diagnostic methods from the East that allow you to interpret your body’s signs before disease manifests. Dispelling the myth of germs as the cause of disease, they reveal the cancerous dangers of too much protein or pharmaceutical drugs. They also examine the life-force-increasing and youth-renewing benefits of powerful “superfoods” such as sprouts and specific vitamins and minerals. Exploring emotional and mental balance, the authors explain the psychological aspects of yin and yang and offer simple practices to release fear and worries, promote inner calm, and build a positive attitude. Balancing body, mind, and blood chemistry, this book lays out the Universal Tao’s holistic path to a long and happy life.
