Tighten Your Tummy in 2 Weeks: Lose up to 14 inches & 14 pounds of fat in 14 days!
by Ellington DardenTighten Your Tummy in 2 Weeks is a revolutionary new program that triggers hormones to burn more fat and melt pounds and inches primarily from the belly.A woman's tummy has now replaced her thighs as the most-troublesome body part. Seventy-six percent of women surveyed in 2014 admitted that they were unhappy with their midsection. And a large tummy is a warning sign of significant potential health issues.QUESTION: How would you like to lose 14 inches from your waist and 14 pounds of body fat in only 14 days?The proof is in the pictures: 41 women at Gainesville Health & Fitness in Florida tested the Tighten Your Tummy in 2 Weeks program under the direction of fitness expert Ellington Darden, PhD, who documented success stories with remarkable before-and-after photographs.Readers can expect results similar to Dr. Darden's test panel. For example, in just 2 weeks: • Roxanne Dybevick, 54, lost 15.08 pounds • Angela Choate, 68, lost 14.8 pounds • Katie Fellows Smith, 60, lost 14.51 pounds • Denise Rodriguez, 34, lost 14.49 pounds • Brianna Kramer, 23, lost 14.26 pounds What causes such rapid loss of midsection flab? The answer is Dr. Darden's remarkable 5-step formula: 1. A special at-home resistance exercise technique called "15-15-15, plus 8 to 12" triggers fat cells to burn and release fat, effectively "spot-reducing" the belly. 2. A carbohydrate-rich eating plan of five or six small meals a day. Yes, "carbs are okay." A bagel for breakfast is on the daily meal plan. 3. Extra sleep at night and a nap during the day to turbo-charge the shrinking of pounds and inches. 4. A tummy-tightening trick called the inner-abs vacuum that's performed before every meal. 5. Sipping ice-cold water all day long, which synergizes the loss of fat and the strengthening of muscle. What Women Like You Are Saying About the Tighten Your Tummy Program: • "I've rediscovered my hour-glass figure." • "My jeans fit again: they feel like an old friend." • "The Power Start Diet made me feel powerful ... and I like that feeling." • "I love the person I now see in the mirror."
Cowgirl Chef: Texas Cooking with a French Accent
by Ellise PierceMoving to Paris was the best bad decision that Texan Ellise Pierce ever made. Wooed to the city by a Frenchman, she soon found herself with just 100 euros in her bank account. So she launched a last-ditch effort to stay in the City of Light: She started her own catering business and began teaching other American expats how to re-create flavors from home. Using French ingredients and techniques from both sides of the Atlantic, she did more than found a culinary company--she created a unique style of cooking that's part Texas, part French, and all Cowgirl. Recipes include: Cornbread Madeleines Jalapeño Pimento Cheese Tartines Cauliflower Galettes with Chipotle Créme Fraîche Green Chile-Goat Cheese Smashed Potatoes Peanut Butter-Chocolate Soufflées

Big Portions, Big Problems
by Ellyn Sanna"Your eyes are bigger than your stomach." Many of us have heard this familiar warning against overeating.

In today's obesity epidemic, large portion sizes are a major factor. Find out how eating habits have been shaped by our love of bigness. Learn about what's best for your long-term health--and what you need to do to begin changing bad eating habits now.
Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family
by Ellyn SatterEllyn Satter's Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family takes a leadership role in the grassroots movement back to the family table. More a cooking primer than a cookbook, this book encourages singles, couples, and families with children to go to the trouble of feeding themselves well. Satter uses simple, delicious recipes as a scaffolding on which to hang cooking lessons, fast tips, night-before suggestions, in-depth background information, ways to involve kids in the kitchen, and guidelines on adapting menus for young children. In chapters about eating, feeding, choosing food, cooking, planning, and shopping, the author entertainingly helps readers have fun with food while not eating unhealthily or too often. She cites current studies and makes a convincing case for lightening up on fat and sodium without endangering ourselves or our children. The book demonstrates Satter's dictum that "your positive feelings about food and eating will do more for your health than adhering to a set of rules about what to eat and what not to eat."
Your Child's Weight
by Ellyn SatterAs much about parenting as feeding, this latest release from renowned childhood feeding expert Ellyn Satter considers the overweight child issue in a new way. Combining scientific research with inspiring anecdotes from her decades of clinical practice, Satter challenges the conventional belief that parents must get overweight children to eat less and exercise more. In the long run, she says, making them go hungry and forcing them to be active makes children preoccupied with food, prone to overeating, turned off to activity, and likely to gain too much weight. Trust is a central theme here: children must be able to trust parents to provide as much food as they need to satisfy their appetites; parents must trust children to eat only as much as they need. Satter provides compelling evidence that, if parents do their jobs with respect to feeding, children are remarkably capable of knowing how much to eat.
Resepte vir 'n bank
by Elmarié Smal Marco PingitoreDie kombuis is 'n noodsaaklikheid voor dat dit 'n kuns is, die minimum vereiste is om jou eetlus te stil, 'n plek waar jy soek na smaak en selfs na die versierings, kreatiwiteit. Laat ons nie vergeet, ons respek te danke aan baie mense in die wêreld, maar vandag, het hulle nie toegang tot basiese noodsaaklikhede soos kos en water nie. Hierdie boek is saamgestel om te speel, dit is net 'n manier om van die verskillende resepte te ervaar van die afgelope jare. Dit is 'n resep 'n bietjie ongewoon, in werklikheid is daar bestanddele wat dalk nie beskikbaar is nie soos met alle tradisionele resepte boeke waar alles maklik in enige supermark verkry kan word; indien daardie bestanddeel nie beskikbaar is nie vervang dit met iets soortsgelyk sodat die smaak min of meer dieselfde is. Ons is nie te kieskeurig nie! Natuurlik as jy wil die Genuese pesto sonder basielkruid is 'n rare kommoditeit, maar die verbeelding het geen perke nie, vandag se baie resepte word gebore per ongeluk of deur gebeurlikheid. Of dit inderdaad 'n ontdekking of 'n paar verbeteringe aan die resepte is, sou ek graag wou weet. Daar is geen streng formules nie, baie geregte het resepte wat aan volkstradisie behoort het nie 'n presiese lys van bestanddele nie, en dit is nie my bedoeling om hulle te los nie. My voorstel is slegs voorbeelde wat getoets is. Vertrou my smaak, maar genoeg gepraat: al wat nodig is, is goeie werk en 'n goeie eetlus.
How to Tap Your Hidden Sources of Energy
by Elmer WheelerEVERYONE HAS A PLIMSOLL MARKThe white line you see on cargo ships and many ocean liners is called the Plimsoll Mark and tells when the ship is being overloaded. If a load is too heavy, it causes the ship to sink past its white line, and that ship is in a dangerous state.People have Plimsoll Marks beyond which nerves crack and pep, vitality, vim, and vigor are drowned. A person who has sunk over his own Plimsoll Mark also is in danger.The favorite expression of Modern Man is "I'm bushed." Of Modern Woman, it is "I'm worn to a frazzle." Had each been aware of his own Plimsoll Mark, neither would have had use for such common expressions.The purpose of this book is to help people find their Plimsoll Marks in life, and in so doing forestall premature old age, needless worry, fatigue, lack of pep, vitality and vigor to carry on.By following a few common sense rules, plus some new scientific discoveries, anyone can learn how to remain above his personal Plimsoll Mark and prolong his life's span...and add happiness and success. As you will see, it is a simple matter to calculate and determine your own Plimsoll Mark--the point beyond which you should never sink.--Elmer Wheeler
The Fat Boy’s Book: How Elmer Lost 40 Pounds in 80 Days
by Elmer WheelerWhere and Why The Fat Boy's Book was written...Sitting quietly at Chambers of Commerce luncheons and banquets, waiting my turn on the lecture platform, gave me the idea of the need for a Fat Boy's Book.I began to observe around me the hodge-podge collection of "banker's shapes," affluent men who had made good, then relaxed and put on bay windows. Then I looked at myself.It was nice to see so much success in America, Land of Big Appetites and Opportunity, but, unfortunately, success had settled at the belt lines.So, surrounded by my best inspirations, I started to write, and many a Chamber secretary will now know for the first time what I was scribbling on the back of the song sheet "God Bless America!" It was The Fat Boy's Book.BE A MAN OF DISTINCTION: SWITCH FROM FAT TO TRIM

Written by experts in autism research, food, nutrition and dietetics, the book cuts through the science-speak to offer readers a no-nonsense overview of diet and autism together with a range of useful recipes and handy hints for making mealtimes fun for children with autism and related conditions.
