Review & Description

Atkins diet is the easiest way for weight maintenance, good health, and disease prevention. Other diet plans and weight loss programs have so many limits and difficult to follow schedule that people skip the regularity after some time, so you go back to your former way of eating. The pounds return with astonishing speed because you are unprepared for longtime maintenance.

Success at upholding weight loss for lifelong is the greatest benefit of Atkins. Anybody can lose the weight but how many people succeed to maintain their weight for lifelong? And that’s the key point of Atkins that weight doesn't return. It doesn't create a big difference in calories consumption during the weight loss and weight maintenance phases.Atkins diet is the easiest way for weight maintenance, good health, and disease prevention.

Review & Description

Loren Cordain, Ph.D., follows his success of The Paleo Diet with the first book ever to detail the exercise-enhancing effects of a diet similar to that of our Stone Age ancestors.

When The Paleo Diet was published, advocating a return to the diet of our ancestors (high protein, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables), the book received brilliant reviews from the medical and nutritional communities. Jennie Brand-Miller, coauthor of the bestselling Glucose Revolution, called it "without a doubt the most nutritious diet on the planet." Doctors Michael and Mary Dan Eades, authors of Protein Power, said, "We can't recommend The Paleo Diet highly enough."

Now Dr. Cordain joins with USA triathlon and cycling elite coach Joe Friel to adapt the Paleo Diet to the needs of athletes. The authors show:
o Why the typical athletic diet (top-heavy with grains, starches, and refined sugars) is detrimental to recovery, performance, and health
o How the glycemic load and acid-base balance impact performance
o Why consumption of starches and simple sugars is only beneficial in the immediate post-exercise period

At every level of competition, The Paleo Diet for Athletes can maximize performance in a range of endurance sports.

Review & Description

This new addition contains the basic diet and is enhanced by new explanations of the underlying theories. There are seven new chapters.Designed to catapult your body into a state of fat meltdown, Dr. Atkins's diet has taken America by storm. It targets insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. The bodies of most overeaters are continually in a state of hyperinsulinism; their bodies are so adept at releasing insulin to help convert excess carbohydrates to fat that there's always too much of the hormone circulating through the body. This puts the body into a bind; it always wants to store fat. Even when people with hyperinsulinism try to lose weight--especially when they cut fat but increase carbohydrate consumption--their efforts will fail. This is why Dr. Atkins refers to insulin as "the fat-producing hormone."

Dr. Atkins's diet is extremely low in carbohydrates, which helps to regulate insulin production and decrease circulating insulin; less insulin soon results in less fat storage and fewer food cravings. The diet is far from torturous, though--those who've tried it attest that hunger is not a part of this plan. Ninety percent of Dr. Atkins's patients--more than 25,000 of them--have experienced dramatic weight loss. The book includes recipes for such luscious, low-carb dishes as lobster soup, zabaglione, sea bass, and blueberry ice cream, and even includes a carbohydrate gram counter and menus. This new addition contains the basic diet and is enhanced by new explanations of the underlying theories. There are seven new chapters. Read more

We've all been there-angry with ourselves for overeating, for our lack of willpower, for failing at yet another diet that was supposed to be the last one. But the problem is not you, it's that dieting, with its emphasis on rules and regulations, has stopped you from listening to your body.

Learn:
*How to reject diet mentality forever
*How our three Eating Personalities define our eating difficulties
*How to feel your feelings without using food
*How to honor hunger and feel fullness
*How to follow the ten principles of Intuitive Eating, step-by-step

Review & Description

DPrimal Blueprint author Mark Sisson presents a fun, easy-to-follow, practical guidebook to help you "get Primal" in only 21 days. First, you'll learn eight Key Concepts that represent the most important day-to-day elements living Primally, then tackle five Action Items that will enable you to literally reprogram your genes toward a long, healthy, and energetic life. The Action Items are presented in a fun and life-transforming 21-Day Challenge, featuring daily diet, exercise, and lifestyle endeavors with corresponding journal exercises.

You'll transition out of the regimented, carb-dependent, fat-storing Standard American Diet (SAD), the chronic, overly-stressful exercise patterns recommended by Conventional Wisdom, and other health-compromising elements of hectic modern life. Instead, you'll smoothly implement the evolution-tested lifestyle behaviors of our hunter-gatherer ancestors to promote optimal gene expression.

By eating Primally, you'll transform from a carbohydrate-dependant "sugar-burner" into a "fat burning beast" as Sisson puts it, where the fat stored on your waist, hips, thighs and everywhere else becomes your body's preferred fuel source, and your energy, hormone, metabolic, and immune function are optimized automatically. With an intuitive mix of Primal workouts, you'll get exceptionally fit in only a few hours per week - and have fun while you're at it!

The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation is stocked with photos, diagrams, concise section summaries, workout descriptions and pictures, resource lists for Primal-approved foods and foods to avoid, recipe suggestions, and detailed real-life success stories to help you stay confident and focused on your Primal journey. MarksDailyApple.com provides extensive support with thousands of articles on living Primally in the modern world.

• Key ConceptsYou really can reprogram your genes by the way you eat, exercise and live from day-to-day.
• The clues to optimal gene expression are found in evolution: adapt the simple lifestyle behaviors of our (genetically identical) hunter-gatherer ancestors into hectic modern life.
• Your body prefers burning fat over carbohydrates: Eating Primally will return your body to its "factory setting" as a fat-burning beast
• 80 percent of your body composition success is determined by how you eat - particularly your ability to regulate the wildly excessive insulin production of the Standard American Diet.
• Grains are totally unnecessary: Grains (and legumes for that matter) offer minimal nutrition, a high insulin response, and contain anti-nutrients that promote inflammation and compromise digestion and immune function.
• Saturated fat and cholesterol are not your enemy: They are critical to cellular health, hormone function and metabolism, and only cause problems when insulin production is excessive.
• Exercise is ineffective for weight management: Energy burned during workouts is negated by increased appetite/caloric intake. A chronic exercise pattern results in burnout and compromised fat metabolism.
• Maximum fitness can be attained in minimal time with high-intensity workouts. Brief, intense strength and sprint workouts promote optimal gene expression and broad athletic competency. You can get super-fit in only a few hours per week!

Armed with the secrets to healthy living, you'll take decisive action over your 21-day journey to:

• Eliminate SAD foods that promote weight gain and chronic health problems.
• Go Primal: restock your kitchen and implement winning strategies for shopping, dining out, and snacking.
• Understand the spectrum of best to worst foods in each of the Primal food categories.
• Implement Primal Blueprint Fitness workouts, blending frequent slow-paced movement, regular brief, intense strength workouts, and occasional all-out sprints.
• Slow life down: enjoy the simple pleasures of "slow" food, intuitive exercise, focused work habits, relaxing evenings, and plenty of time for play, socializing, and sun exposure.

Unlike many complex, regimented, quick-fix programs, the Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation is a simple, sensibly-paced journey shaped by personal preference and a strong emphasis on enjoying comfortable modern life. The material is scalable for everyone, from Type-A fitness die-hards who might benefit from a more relaxed approach, to couch potatoes who need motivation to take that first step.

Mark Sisson guides you in a light-hearted, irreverent tone that will make you feel comfortable and inspired, and never intimidated. You can expect quick results in the first 21 days (fat loss, improved energy levels, fitness, and blood test markers), but your 21-Day Transformation is only the beginning of a life of ease and contentment that is possible when you live in harmony with your genetic expectations for health and longevity.

"While health and fitness is my life, I understand that many people are just too busy, too stressed, or perhaps even too intimidated - to make major lifestyle changes. The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation book makes getting Primal easy, simple and totally do-able - no matter what your starting point is right now."

Gabby Reece - professional volleyball star, international supermodel, fitness celebrity, and busy mom

"After seven years of nagging diet-related illness, I felt completely recovered within one week of eating Primally - one week! I've experienced a breakthrough in energy and vitality that feels better than winning the lottery."

- Timothy Williams, West Los Angeles, CA

Lost 32 pounds from 5'9 ½" 185lb to 153lb, in 2 months

The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss (Kindle Edition)

Review & Description

For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to loose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regiments for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it.

So Dr. Agatston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn't complicated and doesn't require that you go hungry. You'll enjoy normal size helpings of meat, poultry, and fish. You'll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables. Snacks are required. You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, as you loose weight, you'll loose that stubborn belly fat first!

Dr. Agatston's diet has produced consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) and has become a media sensation in South Florida. Now you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with The South Beach Diet.The verdict is in: those simple carbs we've been living on are killing us. For good health, we've got to get our blood sugar under control and stop the incessant cravings. Or so says Dr. Arthur Agatston, author of The South Beach Diet. The first half of the book details the science behind the diet. Most of the explanations revolve around why things you thought were healthy—-orange juice, wheat toast, carrots—-are actually evil. To avoid blood sugar surges, Agatston created a modified carbohydrate plan, recommending plenty of high-fiber foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while cutting bread, rice, pastas, and fruits. Major differences from other diets include a lack of concern over portion size and a serious indifference to exercise. Feeling full while on a diet is a beautiful thing, but it seems odd that a cardiologist buries his exercise recommendations in a solitary sentence.

The last half of the book covers his three-stage plan; daily diets are mixed with recipes, some of which are from South Beach restaurant chefs. The most restrictive period lasts just two weeks, enough time to stabilize your urges and lose a few pounds; stage two adds fruits and a handful of other carbs, while stage three is meant to last the remainder of your life, with occasional lapses for white bread or birthday cake. While the diet is sound, the book could be better organized. The first half mixes scientific study with anecdote in a seemingly random way, while the mix of meal plans and recipes can be confusing. Still, the recipes are varied and tasty, and you'll never feel deprived, unless you currently happen to live by bread alone. --Jill LightnerFor years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to loose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regiments for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it.

So Dr. Agatston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn't complicated and doesn't require that you go hungry. You'll enjoy normal size helpings of meat, poultry, and fish. You'll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables. Snacks are required. You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, as you loose weight, you'll loose that stubborn belly fat first!

Dr. Agatston's diet has produced consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) and has become a media sensation in South Florida. Now you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with The South Beach Diet. Read more

Review & Description

They make clothes for “Petites” so why not a specialized diet plan? You’re smaller, you’re more delicate, you’re 5'4" or under, yet you’re expected to follow a diet plan for the taller girls. What’s wrong with that?

“A lot,” says Jim Karas, author of the number one New York Times bestseller The Business Plan for the Body. For over twenty years, Karas has helped the Petites. He makes them longer (without the rack). He makes them leaner (without starving) and he makes them feel more confident and sexier than they have ever felt before. Why? Because he knows how to get results specifically for you . . . a “Petite”. . . and get them fast.

“I understand you,” says Karas. “I know you are watching your taller friends and colleagues eat more than you do but stay slim.” Fact: you do have to eat less, because a Petite needs only about 1,600 calories a day (compared to 2,500 calories for a taller woman) and is therefore naturally more prone to gain weight.

But you are looking at the glass only as half empty. Thee glass, according to Karas, is really half full. Being a Petite has huge advantages such as:

• You can work out more effectively than a taller woman because your muscle-to-height ratio is greater; translation—better opportunity to boost your metabolism
• Your center of gravity is lower, and therefore you are less likely to injure yourself when you’re working out, and
• You can create that sexy hour-glass figure that taller women can’t achieve. Think Penelope Cruz (5’4”) and Dolly Parton (5’0”). Both are gorgeous members of “The Petites,” whose bodies rock.

Karas has worked with women of all heights and sizes for more than twenty years, and has perfected strategies that bring effective and lasting fat loss for Petites. Based on solid, recent research, coupled with his passion for creating concrete solutions, Karas has crafted a program specially designed to help you create a longer, leaner, sexier body. Petites, you’re gonna love it!

CHAPTER 1

Buying A Refurbished Treadmill - As New Quality For Bargain Prices!

Buying a refurbished treadmill is fast becoming an increasingly popular choice. If you are a regular runner, you will know how great running is to lose weight, tone up and improve your health. However, some people can feel very self conscious running outside, and can feel very vulnerable running when it’s dark.

It isn’t pleasant to run when it’s pouring with rain either, so a good way of being able to run whenever you like is to buy your own treadmill for a weather proof workout. However, treadmills can be very expensive pieces of equipment, especially if you want a quality machine. Although you can purchase treadmills for just a few hundred dollars, they are unlikely to be strong enough or comfortable enough to withstand sustained use.

One option is to purchase a used or second hand treadmill. These are basically machines that somebody else has used and no longer wants. Although you could pick up a good deal this way, buying second hand is always risky as you have very little comeback if a major part fails the day after you bought it.

Many people are now turning towards purchasing a refurbished treadmill. This can be a way to purchase a quality machine at a much lower price than buying new. So what exactly is a refurbished treadmill?

It is one that has been disassembled and rebuilt, tested for faults and any worn parts replaced. Quite often the treadmill has been sandblasted and repainted; in fact it should resemble a brand new machine. These machines have been previously owned and used, either by a gym or an individual, and refurbished either by the original manufacturers or a private company.

Machines refurbished by a private company tend to be cheaper, which is useful if you are on a tighter budget. If you are able to afford it, however, purchasing a refurbished treadmill from the original manufacturer can give greater peace of mind as they are thoroughly checked for possible faults before being resold.

The main thing to watch for when choosing a refurbished treadmill is the length of warranty which comes with it. You will need to know that you have comeback in case of faults or breakdown, and the longer the warranty the more confidence you will have in the reliability and durability of your machine.

Always try out several machines so that you can choose one which feels comfortable for you. Make sure it will be durable enough for your needs, especially if you intend to use it a lot at a higher intensity. You may want to look for features such as an inclination option to simulate running uphill, heart rate monitor and programmed workout.Fitness and Exercise Plus a Surprise 10 Articles Bonus!

First tagged by cortezhill
Customer tags: healthy eating, diet, healthy lifestyle, nutrition

Review & Description

"I knew what it was to really live rather than endure a mundane existence as so many do." In these words Kate Hatcher Porter sums up the result of her years of technical training and practical experience in nutrition. While desperately ill herself. the author learned the full meaning of the saying, "You are what you eat." The body, she discovered, must maintain the correct balance of nutrients before the buoyant health so necessary to a happy, productive life can be attained. Her studies have shown three distinct types of human nutrition: Cleansing - a largely liquid diet, rich in nutrients, that allows the body to rest and cleanse itself during periods of illness. Growth - meals high in proteins and carbohydrates suited to childhood and the reproductive years. Maintenance - the diet for later years, when emphasis is shifted from rich growth foods to those supplying large amounts of vitamins and minerals. Diet alone is not a cure-all, or course. The author also stresses the importance of proper posture, breathing and relaxation, which allows the body to take full advantage of the nutrients it receives, and the beneficial effect of cheerful, healthful thoughts.... A look Into New Life contains many menus and recipes suitable for different types of diets and seasons of the year. These clearly presented, delicious recipes allow the reader to test Mrs. Porter's sound ideas in her own kitchen. Read more
