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?
La dieta dels colors: Com activar el teu metabolisme i mantenir-te en el teu pes, sa i jove
by Montse FolchUna dieta senzilla, clara, efectiva i basada en la dieta mediterrània que t'ajudarà a perdre pes al tems que incorpores nous hàbits alimentaris saludables i lluites contra l'envelliment. Salut, bellesa, comoditat, sentir-nos millor amb el nostre cos, rejovenits i més àgils. Aquests són els principals objectius que ens fixem quan comencem una dieta i, tot i que són raons suficients per menjar de forma saludable durant la resta de les nostres vides, la realitat és que en general arraconem i recuperem els vells costums. La majoria de nosaltres estem sotmesos a un ritme de vida que ens fa difícil parar l'atenció necessària al nostre organisme i mimar-lo per aconseguir el benestar físic i psicològic. Als obstacles quotidians (poc temps per comprar i cuinar, àpats fora de casa, de compromís, etc.), s'hi afegeixen dietes que, sovint, exigeixen un alt nivell de sacrifici i són tan restrictives que ens fan abandonar benràpid. Per això la dieta dels colors és senzilla i variada, perquè una de les màximes és fer sempre del menjar un acte plaent i no convertir-lo en quelcom penós, cosa que augmentaria considerablement les nostres possibilitats de fallida. El menú de la nostra dieta es divideix en quatre colors: vermell per a les proteïnes, vegetals i animals; verd per als vegetals; groc per al sucre i els hidrats de carboni i marró per als greixos. A banda, en el blau inclourem els líquids i condiments. Les dones seguiran la pauta 3+3+3 (tres aliments del grup vermell, tres del groc i tres del marró) i els homes la 4+4+4 (quatre aliments de cada grup). I ara la bona notícia: el grup verd és de consum lliure en quantitats i racions per als dos sexes. A què esperes per començar la dieta dels colors i sentir-te millor, perdre els quilos que et sobren i endarrerir l'envelliment?

by Moosewood CollectiveA steaming bowl of soup with fresh bread and a green salad, a tempting combo plate of crisp, complementary salads--these Daily Specials have been staples of Moosewood's ever-changing menu board since the restaurant opened its doors more than twenty-five years ago.

Now, for the first time, they have gathered the very best offerings from their vast soup and salad repertoire, as well as the ingenious extras that transform these simple dishes into world-class meals.

Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites
by Moosewood CollectiveThis is the low-fat book cooks who care about wholesome, vegetarian-inspired food have been waiting for. Each of the more than 280 recipes are as delicious and trustworthy as those in the Moosewood Collective's previous books, and vibrant flavors and generous portions are still a hallmark of every dish. Because the Collective's primary goal is always to make great tasting food they resisted the notion of doing a low-fat book until they were convinced they could make low-fat dishes as flavor-packed as their regular favorites. "We've mostly been interested in gourmet cuisine at Moosewood Restaurant, not deprivation diet food," say the authors. "So, it's a happy surprise that the dishes we created for this cookbook don't come off as merely healthful diet foods. The food is exciting, ethnically diverse, and satisfyingly delicious. Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites is as much a celebration of the pleasures of eating as it is about low-fat cooking."In Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites the Collective emphasizes a few changes in basic cooking techniques to apply to everyday recipes and they offer tips and ideas for sustaining a low-fat lifestyle. They bake rather than fry, replace high-fat ingredients with healthy substitutes (no artificial ingredients allowed!), and use butter and oil very moderately. What is lost in fat is gained in bold, intense flavors. "When fashioning low-fat recipes, taking a nip here, a tuck there, we sometimes need to add a little embroidery, an embellishment such as extra herbs, spices, fruit or vegetable purée, vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, dried mushrooms, miso, soy sauce, or garlic," explain the cooks at Moosewood Restaurant. "Our gingerbread gets extra flavor and moisture from chunks of pear rather than from butter and egg yolks. Two small calamata olives enliven the Caesar Salad Dressing. A little sauerkraut adds interest to an Italian mushroom stew."Fat will not be missed in mouthwatering recipes like Guacamole with Asparagus, Chinese Orzo Vegetable Salad, Spring Vegetable Paella, Indian Potato Pancakes, and Creamy Dairyless Rice Pudding. Along with those creative dishes, one of the most appealing parts of Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites is finding low-fat variations on familiar favorites such as Macaroni and Cheese, Shephard's Pie, and Dark Chocolate Pudding. An added bonus is that the Moosewood Collective has made sure that the ingredients used in the recipes throughout the book are very accessible--easily found in most well-stocked supermarkets. In the nutritional, glossary, and guide sections of Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites the Collective gives explanations of nutritional terms, instructions for how to glean the information you need from nutrition labels, a brief overview of vitamins and minerals, and guides to ingredients and cooking techniques. These three important sections, combined with the deliciously appetizing recipes, are a wealth of encouragement for low-fat eating and living a healthy lifestyle. The fourteen chapters range from savory soups and main course salads to creative side dishes and aromatic Mediterranean and Asian-inspired dishes. With chapters which range from healthy breakfasts and lunch foods to a collection of fish recipes and more than twenty truly delectable desserts, Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites is sure to set the kitchen standard not only for health-conscious cooks, but also for those who have come to rely on the Moosewood Collective's easy, earthy approach to cooking.

Working With Troubled Men: A Contemporary Practitioner's Guide
by Morley D. GlickenThis book offers a concise, readable, research-grounded synthesis of the special concerns mental health and other helping professionals need to address when working with men today, and explains a wealth of effective gender-specific approaches to assessment and intervention that result in more successful outcomes for male clients.Many more women than men seek counseling and therapy, and to some extent standard services have evolved in response to female styles of communicating and problem-solving. Practitioners frequently feel frustrated and baffled by their male clients because they seem unresponsive to treatment approaches that work so well for women. But many men benefit from therapy when practitioners understand male socialization and the ways men communicate and problem-solve.Too many men today are doing badly and are in real need of help. Almost half of America's male children grow up in single parent homes headed by mothers, where they seldom have male mentors or role models. Fewer men than women attend or graduate from college, and increasing levels of binge drinking and date rape on campuses paint a discouraging picture of men on campus. Male violence continues to be a serious problem in many American communities, with male youth violence continuing at epidemic levels. Men die younger than women overall and in much higher proportions from suicide, homicide, and cirrhosis of the liver.
