La dieta de los colores
by Montse FolchUna dieta sencilla, clara, efectiva y basada en la dieta mediterránea que te ayudará a perder peso mientras incorporas nuevos hábitos alimentarios saludables y luchas contra el envejecimiento. Salud, belleza, comodidad, sentirnos mejor con nuestro cuerpo, rejuvenecidos y más ágiles. Estos son los principales objetivos que nos fijamos cuando empezamos una dieta y, aunque son razones suficientes para comer de forma saludable durante el resto de nuestra vida, muchas veces acabamos arrinconándolas y recuperando las viejas costumbres. La mayoría de nosotros estamos sometidos a un ritmo de vida que nos dificulta prestar la atención necesaria a nuestro organismo y mimarlo para conseguir la mejor recompensa: el bienestar físico y psicológico. A los obstáculos cotidianos (poco tiempo para hacer la compra y cocinar, comer fuera de casa, comidas de compromiso, etc.), se suman unas dietas que, a menudo, exigen un alto nivel de sacrificio y son tan restrictivas que nos empujan a abandonar pronto. Por eso la dieta de los colores es sencilla y variada, porque una de sus máximas es hacer siempre de la comida un acto placentero y no convertirlo en algo penoso, lo que aumentaría mucho nuestras posibilidades de fracaso. El menú de nuestra dieta se divide en cuatro colores: rojo para las proteínas, vegetales y animales; verde para los vegetales; amarillo para el azúcar y los hidratos de carbono; y marrón para las grasas. Además, en el azul incluiremos los líquidos y los condimentos. Las mujeres seguirán la pauta 3 + 3 + 3 (tres alimentos del grupo rojo, tres del amarillo y tres del marrón) y los hombres la de 4 + 4 + 4 (cuatro de cada grupo). Y ahora la buena noticia: el grupo verde es de consumo libre en cantidades y raciones para ambos sexos. ¿A qué esperas para empezar la dieta de los colores y sentirte mejor, estar más delgado y retrasar tu envejecimiento?

My Soul Looks Back: A Memoir
by Jessica B. HarrisIn this captivating new memoir, award-winning writer Jessica B. Harris recalls a lost era—the vibrant New York City of her youth, where her social circle included Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and other members of the Black intelligentsia.In the Technicolor glow of the early seventies, Jessica B. Harris debated, celebrated, and danced her way from the jazz clubs of the Manhattan's West Side to the restaurants of the Village, living out her buoyant youth alongside the great minds of the day—luminaries like Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison. <P><P> My Soul Looks Back is her paean to that fascinating social circle and the depth of their shared commitment to activism, intellectual engagement, and each other. Harris paints evocative portraits of her illustrious friends: Baldwin as he read aloud an early draft of If Beale Street Could Talk, Angelou cooking in her California kitchen, and Morrison relaxing at Baldwin’s house in Provence. Harris describes her role as theater critic for the New York Amsterdam News and editor at then burgeoning Essence magazine; star-studded parties in the South of France; drinks at Mikell’s, a hip West Side club; and the simple joy these extraordinary people took in each other’s company. <P><P>The book is framed by Harris’s relationship with Sam Floyd, a fellow professor at Queens College, who introduced her to Baldwin. More than a memoir of friendship and first love My Soul Looks Back is a carefully crafted, intimately understood homage to a bygone era and the people that made it so remarkable.
