The Flavor Point Diet
Think of your most addictive foods, the ones that make you lose control--they're usually a jumble of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. Eaten alone, none of those flavors will make you fat. But when you combine them (such as pairing a savory cheeseburger with salty fries and a sweet soda), you'll usually eat too much--even until you're painfully full--no matter how strong your willpower. From breakfast cereal to fast food, today's culinary landscape is crowded with an artificial surplus of conflicting flavors that overstimulate our brains' appetite-controlling cells. Learn how to optimize the flavors in your food, and you'll reach the Flavor Point--the moment of fullness and satisfaction--sooner, so the pounds come off faster...and stay off forever. You'll love every bite of The Flavor Point Diet because: It works. According to clinical research from Yale University, you can lose 9 to 16 pounds in 6 weeks and automatically continue to lose weight until you reach your goal. It includes delicious, healthful foods. People in a test group not only lost weight, they also lowered their blood cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure, and shrank up to 7 inches off their waistlines! It's convenient. Many dinners take 15 minutes or less to prepare, and breakfasts and lunches, just 5 minutes to prepare. It gets results for the entire family. Each recipe was tested and approved by children ranging in age from 5 to 15. With a guide to Flavor Point-approved brands, more than 100 fast and scrumptious recipes, a 6-week meal plan, and hundreds of tips, you'll stay "on point" effortlessly, lose weight easily, and reshape your body for good. --front flap
Disease-proof
It sometimes seems as if everyone around us is being diagnosed with a chronic illness--and that we might soon join them. It's easy to feel as though we have no control over our medical future, but in reality our behavior has tremendous effects on our health, well-being, and even the expression of our genes. In Disease-Proof, disease prevention expert Dr. David Katz reveals that we can slash our risk of every major chronic disease--heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, dementia, and obesity--by 80 percent or more. But to get there, we need specific skills. This book arms us with what Dr. Katz calls skillpower: a user-friendly set of tools that will help us put this knowledge into action. Drawing upon the latest scientific evidence and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Katz shows us how to make lasting changes, from smart food swaps to figuring out what kind of exercise is right for us (and that will actually be enjoyable) to identifying and overcoming our particular health challenges.--From publisher description.
