The Body Sense Natural Diet: Six Weeks to a Slimmer, Healthier You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interestme are the number you get in a diamond.”— Mae West —Mae West may have been on to something when it comes to diets. Thesad fact is that most diets don’t work because they fail to look at theunderlying cause of weight gain and only focus on caloric intake, carbo-hydrate or protein consumption, and increased exercise. All these factorsare important, but all you dieters who have run thousands of miles on thetreadmill and eaten buckets of carrot sticks must know by now that thereis more to weight loss than just eating low-calorie foods, exercising, andusing a lot of willpower.During the research for The Body Sense Natural Diet, I read every dietbook currently in print and thousands of research papers. Most diet booksprovide good advice that, if followed long-term, would help you lose someweight. But the sad story is that most dieters gain back one- to two-thirdsof the weight they lost by the end of the first year, and almost all theweight will be gained back (and more!) within five years. The question iswhy. Stress, emotions, aging, and other factors play a role.1IntroductionI n t r o d u c t i o n2The key to permanent weight loss is well hidden. It lies in understand-ing how each component of dieting affects the hormones that stimulate,regulate, and control thousands of functions in your body. Those hormonesconspire to make your fat cells bigger, increase your cravings, tell you to eatmore, lower your fat-burning rate, and disrupt your blood sugar. None of thediet books I read explain this or integrate the knowledge into their advice,and yet there are mountains of research on the hormones of obesity.Within the pages of this book you will find the latest scientific break-throughs in fat loss—including which hormones are conspiring to makeyou fat. By using foods, nutrients, and other factors, you can correct hor-monal imbalances and reset your body’s fat-burning furnace, makingweight loss much easier.The Body Sense Natural Diet is a simple guide that takes you throughthe hormonal maze and unlocks secrets to diet success. You must normal-ize key hormones to lose weight and keep it off. Once you understand howfoods and lifestyle factors affect your hormones and make you fat or thin,you will recognize why other diets don’t work.Why am I sure it’s hormones? Think about it. Menopausal womenhave been telling their doctors for decades that the hormonal change theyexperience during this time of transition leads to weight gain that is verydifficult to shed. Women taking hormone replacement therapy, includingestrogen and progestin, also notice large weight gains and are unable tolose that weight. Research has proven that low thyroid slows your meta-bolic rate and causes you to gain weight and resist weight loss.Carbohydrate cravings are directly linked to the hormone serotonin, yourfeel-good hormone. When serotonin is low, your body desires sweet,starchy foods to bring serotonin back to desired levels; nothing will stopyou from eating the wrong foods as you satisfy your body’s need for thishormone. Cortisol, your stress hormone, is directly linked to making fatcells resistant to fat loss.Poor digestive-tract health is also linked to weight gain. Poor digestion,candida yeast, and bacteria overgrowth cause the secretion of hormonesthat expand your pants size. Fat cells themselves are hormone factories:the more fat cells you have, and the bigger they are, the more trouble youwill have losing weight. The research is clear—hormones are key to losingthose unwanted pounds and keeping them off for good.

Squeezed: What You Don't Know About Orange Juice (Yale Agrarian Studies Series) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Close to three quarters of U.S. households buy orange juice. Its popularity crosses class, cultural, racial, and regional divides. Why do so many of us drink orange juice? How did it turn from a luxury into a staple in just a few years? More important, how is it that we don’t know the real reasons behind OJ’s popularity or understand the processes by which the juice is produced?In this enlightening book, Alissa Hamilton explores the hidden history of orange juice. She looks at the early forces that propelled orange juice to prominence, including a surplus of oranges that plagued Florida during most of the twentieth century and the army’s need to provide vitamin C to troops overseas during World War II. She tells the stories of the FDA’s decision in the early 1960s to standardize orange juice, and the juice equivalent of the cola wars that followed between Coca-Cola (which owns Minute Maid) and Pepsi (which owns Tropicana). Of particular interest to OJ drinkers will be the revelation that most orange juice comes from Brazil, not Florida, and that even “not from concentrate” orange juice is heated, stripped of flavor, stored for up to a year, and then reflavored before it is packaged and sold. The book concludes with a thought-provoking discussion of why consumers have the right to know how their food is produced.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
