Book SynopsisYou can blame gluten, lack of exercise, or hormones for a number of our most common maladies, but the truth is, there''s often one big, overlooked culprit: dehydration. Humans are 65% water. So when we''re dehydrated, our body starts to slowly shut down, causing the headaches, fatigue, joint paint, weight gain, and even some autoimmune disorders that we often attribute to other causes.Using revolutionary research from the University of Washington''s Pollack Water Lab, hydration experts Dr. Dana Cohen and Gina Bria bring you a new plan for optimal hydration--and it isn''t just about drinking enough water. In fact, starting with their 5-day jump start, Cohen and Bria introduce you to the three cardinal rules of hydration:1. Drink for Maximum Absorption: Hydrate in the morning and before meals. Drinking just water can wash out other important nutrients and electrolytes, so incorporate salt, lemon, and green smoothies into your daily routine.2. Get water from your food: Cohen and Bria wet your appetite with delicious meal plans, including the most hydrating foods (like berries and cucumbers).3. Use movement to distribute hydration: Their revolutionary micro-movements can help bring much-needed water to your tissues and organs.With bonus tips like how to stay hydrated during a flight, the hydrating power of chia seeds, and water as an aid to digestion, Quench is the ultimate guide to getting enough water and improving your health. Cohen and Bria will help you shift from H2No to H2Woah.

Book SynopsisDietitian and nutrition therapist Leslie Schilling wants to help you free yourself from a diet-obsessed culture and live out your purpose, which isn't counting calories, reaching goal weights, or hating your body. Feed Yourself teaches you to see diet culture for its lies so you can reclaim trust in your divine design and care for your unique body.Trade ReviewFeed Yourself is an incredible resource for anyone ready to renounce the religion of endlessly seeking to make their bodies, needs, and appetites smaller. This book will enlighten you and challenge you, in the best way possible, and it has the power to change you as well. Feed Yourself is a gift that feels like a tight hug from its author, Leslie Schilling, and one I will recommend highly to Christian clients and colleagues alike. Anna Sweeney, MS, RD, LDN, CEDS-S, owner of Whole Life Nutrition CounselingAt a moment when entirely too many voices and images keep telling us what we should look like and aspire to, Leslie Schilling pierces through the noise and reminds us of what matters most. Oh, how I wish twenty-one-year-old Candice could have read this, but how grateful I am that Feed Yourself is in the world today! Candice Marie Benbow, author of Red Lip TheologyFeed Yourself is a deep dive into diet culture from a Christian perspective. It's not a book you forget about moments after reading it; it's a step-by-step, practical guide to gentle self-care that honors our bodies exactly as they are right now. If you know you want to move away from diet culture and need a faith-based place to start, this is it. Megan McNamee, MPH, RDN, co-owner of Feeding Littles and co-author of New York Times bestseller Feeding Littles and BeyondIn Feed Yourself, Leslie Schilling writes from the heart with wisdom, kindness and grace. The book's two parts allow the reader to fully comprehend the destructive impact of diet culture and then to create a path to healing and to the embracing of a peaceful relationship with food and body. Leslie's professional experience and connection to higher power and divine wisdom create a magical touch that is so vital for unlocking the oppression of diet culture, freeing the reader to take the journey to peace and real health. Wendy Oliver-Pyatt, MD, fellow at the Academy for Eating Disorders and founder, of Galen Hope and Within HealthLeslie Schilling has gifted us with a wise and beautiful book that teaches cutting-edge concepts about rejecting diet culture and replacing them with compassionate, scientifically sound alternatives that honor weight inclusivity, all of which is delivered through a loving and honest Christian lens. Every Christian who is interested in true health and well-being for themselves, their family members, and their communities should read this book. Jennifer L. Gaudiani, MD, CEDS-S, FAED, founder and medical director, Gaudiani Clinic, and author of Sick Enough: A Guide to the Medical Complications of Eating DisordersOne of the first steps toward living a life full of wellness is to confront shame and guilt with grace and the truth that we are liberated through God's unconditional love. Leslie Schilling reminds us that grace must accompany us on our journey toward healing our relationship with food and our bodies. Dr. Terence Lester, founder of Love Beyond Walls and author of All God's Children and I See YouWhat a compassionate and pastoral book! As Leslie Schilling dismantles the lies of diet culture in our world and in our churches, she also teaches us God's good plan for nourishment, embodiment, and even joy in our particular bodies. If you've experienced the damaging oppression of diet culture at the intersection of spirituality, this book is a healing must-read. Sarah Bessey, author of New York Times bestsellers A Rhythm of Prayer and Jesus FeministWith warmth and honesty, Leslie Schilling guides the reader away from the 'enemy' of diet culture and toward the understanding that their body has never deserved the shame and hatred imposed upon it. This book will be particularly meaningful for readers who have experienced food and body shame in the context of a faith-based community, which should have been a safe space in which all bodies can peacefully exist. By helping you reject harmful messaging and tune in to your inner voice, this book will help you reclaim a full, rich, and spiritual relationship with your body.

Book SynopsisBurn Fat Fast is quite simply the easiest, healthiest and most effective way to lose weight. Alternate-day dieting, which involves taking in a very low amount of calories on alternate days, is all the rage - this diet takes it to a whole new level. In this book Patrick Holford outlines how, by combining elements of alternate-day fasting with a low glycemic-load (GL) diet, you can lose fat fast, without going hungry or compromising your health. For those new to the low-GL diet it is a way to keep you blood sugar even. Why do this? Because if your blood sugar level resembles a rollercoaster ride you''ll have a lot of insulin in your system - and insulin is the fat-storing hormone. In Burn Fat Fast you''ll find:* Simple, easy-to-follow guidelines on how the diet works* An outline of what to eat and what to avoid on both phases of the diet* Guidance on fitting the diet into your lifestyle* A short, highly effective fat-burning exercise r

Book SynopsisWINNER OF THE INVESTIGATIVE FOOD WORK AWARD AT THE GUILD OF FOOD WRITERS AWARDS 2023''The most incredible book'' Delia Smith''Persuasive, entertaining and well researched'' Sunday TimesPlant-based is best for health, go vegan to help save the planet, eat less meat... Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy - or eliminate them from our diets altogether.But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading - or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change.In THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON, Jayne Buxton demonstrates that each of these ''what-ifs'' is, in fact, a reality. Drawing on the work of numerous health experts and researchers, she uncovers how the separate efforts of a constellation of individuals, companies and organisations are leading us down a dietary road that will have severe repercussions for our health and wellbeing, and for the future of the planet.THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON is neither anti-plant nor anti-vegan - it is a call for us to take an honest look at the facts about human diets and their effect on the environment. Shocking and eye-opening, this book outlines everything you need to know to make more informed decisions about the food you choose to eat.Trade ReviewThe most incredible book -- Delia Smith * The Food Programme, BBC Radio 4 *How I have waited for this book! A much needed, fact-packed, lucidly argued demolition of pervasive, endlessly recycled, anti-animal source food propaganda, and a very welcome, closely argued, well-reasoned defence of our traditional omnivore diet -- Joanna BlythmanA brave, well-researched and highly readable book that confronts the many myths about meat, health and climate change. Buxton's deep dive into the science and politics of these questions makes this book a must-read for anyone who cares about their health - or the planet -- Nina Teicholz, science journalist and bestselling author of THE BIG FAT SURPRISETHE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON is persuasive, entertaining and well researched ... the book will help to alleviate the guilt many of us feel about our diets -- Louise Eccles * Sunday Times *[A] forensic examination of the evidence ... Buxton is brilliant at reminding us of some basic statistical truths, ones that are usually forgotten these days ... It's refreshing to read a book which recognises that life is complicated -- Mark Mason * Daily Mail, Book of the Week *A calm, incisive dissection of veganism's salvationist claim to protect human health and the planet -- John Lewis-Stempel * Country Life *In THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON, Jayne Buxton provides insightful analyses and thoughtful alternatives to narratives about plant-based diets, human and environmental health. Her engrossing account is food-for-thought for everyone, be they herbivorous, omnivorous, or carnivorous. I promote this entrée at every opportunity -- Fred Provenza, Professor Emeritus of Behavioural Ecology, Utah State University and author of NOURISHMENT: WHAT ANIMALS CAN TEACH US ABOUT REDISCOVERING OUR NUTRITIONAL WISDOMTHE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON is absolutely exceptional. When you've read works of Gary Taubes and Nina Teicholz, you'll need to add this to your essential reading list. I was ignorant of so much that is so elegantly explained -- Professor Tim NoakesIntelligent and very well-researched ... [Jayne is] able to be objective and speak out without losing a university seat or a research grant, but with knowledge of the food industry from a career in consultancy. She has sifted through all the scientific arguments fairly and produced a very readable book that explains it all in a way that can easily be digested ... a fascinating read and its intelligent explanation of the way that Big Food makes us ill, and Big Pharma makes another fast buck curing us, may yet make it a seminal classic, similar in its impact to Rachel Carson's brilliant exposé of chemical pesticides, Silent Spring, two generations ago. There is no doubting Buxton's conclusion that we have been conned ... a brave book -- Jamie Blackett * Daily Telegraph *With incredible skill, Jayne Buxton captures the edifice of intellectual and cultural fraud behind today's mythology of the safety plant-based eating. Everyone needs this important and timely book -- Sally K. Norton MPH, nutritional scientist and author of TOXIC SUPERFOODSJayne Buxton's compelling read THE PLANT-BASED CON challenges the 'plant-biased' narrative sweeping across the globe and embedding itself into the very fabric of our society. Jayne takes a deep dive into the vested interests and religious ideology shaping the plant-based con, leaving no stone unturned ... I highly recommend this book! -- Belinda Fettke, https://isupportgary.com

Book SynopsisALWAYS HUNGRY? will be both a relief and a revelation to many who struggle with weight. We''re not getting fat because we''re overeating; we''re overeating because we''re getting fat. In other words, what makes us constantly hungry, overweight, and undernourished is not a lack of will power, but a biological reaction to our present-day diet and lifestyle. Our fat cells are hoarding the nutrients from the food we eat instead of releasing them into the bloodstream to be used, triggering a starvation response that sets us up for failure: if we eat more, we''ll gain weight; if we eat less, we''ll slow our metabolism down and (again) gain weight. HELP!ALWAYS HUNGRY shows us how to break out of this cycle that is keeping us overweight. It helps us to: - re-programme our fat cells - tame humger- boost our metabolism- lose weight In a clear, compassionate, and authoritative voice, Dr Ludwig debunks the calorie myth that losing weight is simply Trade ReviewDr David Ludwig has found a fresh angle on the battle of the bulge, arguing that we should stop cutting calories and ditch low-fat diets. * S Magazine, Sunday Express *Once in a generation a scientist comes along who tells a new story about why we are sick and how we can heal.
