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.

Why do some of us become overweight? Why is it so difficult to lose weight? How can we adopt healthy attitudes towards food? The Psychology of Dieting takes a broad and balanced view of the causes of weight gain and the challenges involved in dieting.

By understanding our psychological selves, the book shows how we can change our unhealthy behaviours and potentially lose weight. In an era of weight problems, obesity, and dangerous dieting, The Psychology of Dieting shows us that there is no such thing as a miracle diet, and that we must understand how our minds shape the food choices we make.

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.

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.

What is an easy way to detoxify your system and lose weight? Not fasting, not liquid or fad diets. The Lemon Juice Diet is a safe and delicious eating plan that goes far beyond the "Master Cleanse" program used by celebrities for quick, short-term fixes. Instead of just suggesting dieters drink a concoction of lemon juice, cayenne, and maple syrup, The Lemon Juice Diet starts there and then integrates lemon juice into a healthier, easy to maintain, long-term plan. Lemon is a natural powerhouse; its great flavor makes it an easy addition to your diet and its low glycemic index provides a steady stream of energy, without the sugar high and subsequent crash we get from high GI foods. The Lemon Juice Diet capitalizes on lemon juice's natural power to lower blood sugar, create a feeling of fullness, provide vitamin C and stimulate the liver for maximum fat-burning. Lemon juice can even boost immunity and brain function, fight cholesterol, and fire up your metabolism. With clear meal plans, delicious recipes and easy exercise tips, The Lemon Juice Diet is a quick and easy way to long-lasting good health.
