The GI Plan: Lose weight forever
by Azmina Govindji Nina PuddefootThe glycaemic index (GI) is one of the hottest topics in weight loss today. Like Atkins, it's based on carbohydrates but unlike Atkins it's based on the quality of the carbs and allows much more flexibility for the dieter. This book uses GI in a groundbreaking fashion: simply by adding up the GiP value of each food and keeping to an allocated number of GiPs a day, it's possible to lose weight quickly, effortlessly, enjoyably - and permanently. Unlike other diet books, this is not about avoiding foods - it's about eating what you want within healthy boundaries. Importantly, it's about balancing your meal - by eating certain foods together, you can ensure you get a healthy, delicious and low-GI meal - and lose those kilos.

by Mira KirshenbaumHOW OFTEN HAVE YOU SAID TO YOURSELF, "IF I ONLY HAD THE TIME..."? This inspiring, one-of-a-kind book tells you how to give yourself the time you're longing for--starting right now... with the gift of one special year. Are you so caught up in your busy life that you've lost sight of you? Do you fantasize about the things you'd do if only you weren't so bogged down with family and career responsibilities? What would you give to make those fantasies a reality? In The Gift of a Year, Mira Kirshenbaum shows you how to take your dreams off the back burner and make them a vital and enriching part of your life. And she shows how every woman can do it--even if you can't take a year off, you can take a year for yourself. You'll be amazed at the unlimited possibilities you'll find once you give yourself permission to explore the essential relationship that has somehow gotten lost in the domestic/professional shuffle: the relationship with yourself. The idea is simple: You give yourself one year to do something you've always wanted to do, whether it's undertaking a major challenge or merely recharging your batteries. The opportunities are as abundant as your dreams. You can go back to school... get in shape... climb a mountain... indulge in daily bubble baths... switch careers... work on a relationship... paint a landscape... start a business... get on top of a problem or take a break from it... or do something you've put off for years--something you've thought about but never got around to doing. The Gift of a Year takes you step by step through this process of self-exploration, discovery, and revitalization, and offers practical advice, guidance, and inspiration along the way, from the "Ten Dream-Discovering Questions" that help you learn what you really want, to "Getting Everyone on Board" for the support you need to make it happen all the way, to how your special year can change your life. This inspirational book is filled with empowering, real- life stories of women who have given themselves the gift of a year, including why and how they did it, what they got out of it, and what they did afterward. You'll also find checklists and quizzes to help you incorporate this unique plan into your everyday existence.

The Gift of Alzheimer's
by Neale Donald Walsch Maggie La TourelleAlzheimer's effects more than 5 million people worldwide, causing pain not only to its sufferers, but to their loved ones as well. In her groundbreaking book, The Gift of Alzheimer's (Watkins, April 2015) holistic therapist and healthcare expert Maggie La Tourelle describes the treasures that were unlocked to her as she journeyed with her ailing mother. Miraculously, instead of destroying their lives, Alzheimer's strengthened their bond. La Tourelle shares the techniques she used and the insights she gained in her book. La Tourelle says, "I was able to open up new channels in communication and wellbeing for my mother that I had not considered before or even thought possible." Many of her findings have since been confirmed by research in neuroscience, including the suggestion that emotional long-term memory may remain intact even after short-term memory has vanished. "The retention of emotional memory could explain some of the unexpected and disturbing behavior that some people with Alzheimer's exhibit," says La Tourelle. She suggests that we need to help patients acknowledge their feelings so that their past can be healed and they can move on to a good ending. Like many people facing Alzheimer's, Maggie's mother, Pat, was burdened with many painful memories. Using a person-centered approach that focuses on being present, employing some simple NLP principles and engaging in meaningful communication, La Tourelle was able to help her mother heal her emotionally painful memories and come to a place of peace. Throughout the book La Tourelle emphasizes that these approaches are not strictly for healthcare professionals--they can be utilized by anyone to help a loved one currently suffering from Alzheimer's. La Tourelle provides useful information and in depth instructions to help others unearth the gifts Alzheimer's patients have to share with us. Although not always lucid, La Tourelle noticed that Pat seemed more aware of the "big picture" as her disease progressed. Uncharacteristically, Pat began bestowing wise advice to her daughter such as "Be in the moment. Freedom is important--and patience. I want you to remember the good times." Captivated by these moments of clarity, La Tourelle began chronicling their interactions and discovered something even more extraordinary: Pat seemed to be able connect with another world. She spoke of relatives who visited her and declared, "Death is nothing to be afraid of. I am at peace. I have no worries or fears. I can become unconscious, like having an operation with an anesthetic and get away from everything, then come back. I do it often." Instead of dismissing these claims as delusional, La Tourelle acknowledged and validated them. "Could it be that Alzheimer's is a bridge to the world to come?" asks La Tourelle. Whether or not you are predisposed to believe these connections are real or hallucinatory, La Tourelle teaches us the importance of approaching those suffering from Alzheimer's on their terms rather than our own.From the Trade Paperback edition.
