For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to
lose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard
to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous.
Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regiments for any length
of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it. So Dr. Agatston
developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn't complicated and
doesn't require that you go hungry. You'll enjoy normal size helpings
of meat, poultry, and fish. You'll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and
vegetables. Snacks are required. You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs,
like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, as you
lose weight, you'll lose that stubborn belly fat first!
For years experts have been telling Americans what to eat and what not to eat. Fat, they told us, was the enemy. Then it was salt, then sugar, then cholesterol... and on it goes. Americans listened and they lost — but not their excess fat. What they lost was their health and waistlines. Americans are the fattest people on earth... and why? Mainly because of the food they eat. In this scientific and revolutionary book, based on Nobel Prize-winning research, medical visionary and former Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Dr. Barry Sears makes peak physical and mental performance, as well as permanent fat loss, simple for you to understand and achieve. All Editions: $1.00 - $1519.32
More than forty years ago, Michio Kushi recognized that improper diet
was a principal cause of many illnesses, including cancer. He began
teaching how the macrobiotic diet, based on nutritious whole grains,
locally grown fresh vegetables, protein-rich beans, and sea vegetables,
combined with exercise and a simpler lifestyle, can relieve and prevent
health problems and rejuvenate the body. In this new edition of The
Macrobiotic Way, practical advice on living in harmony with nature and
the seasons is illuminated with the latest research on nutrition and
health care. Macrobiotic foods and where to find them, cooking methods,
dozens of delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes, sample menus, a simple
exercise program, and a plan to design your macrobiotic home make The
Macrobiotic Way the definitive guide for the journey to a macrobiotic
life.
