Comfortably Unaware will open your eyes to the global effects of your food choices and--hopefully--will encourage you to make a difference. In Comfortably Unaware, Dr. Richard Oppenlander tackles the crucial issue of ''global depletion'' as it relates to food choice. His forthright information and stark mental images are often disturbing--and that's how it should be. As the guardians of Planet Earth, we need to be shaken out of our complacency, to stop being ''comfortably unaware,'' and to understand the measures we must take to ensure the health and well-being of our planet--and of ourselves. Oppenlander breaks down the information in easy-to-read chapters that touch on issues ranging from the rainforests (''depleting the lungs of our planet''), to water and oceans, to the air we breathe. His fresh insight on this suppressed, and often controversial, topic goes well beyond the now-familiar warnings about ''global warming.'' His information is essential reading; he provides entirely new perspectives on our culture and how this global crisis reached such startling proportions, as well as--most important--how to solve the problem.

The 20/30 Fat & Fiber Diet Plan is an amazingly simple and medically sound program that will help you lose weight and keep it off, dramatically improve your overall health, and fortifying your body against diseases--with delicious and satisfying foods you can have anytime, anywhere. Medical research proves that there's only one way to safely and permanently lose weight: eat less fat and more fiber. Bestselling authors Gabe Mirkin, M.D., and Barry Fox, Ph.D., show you how this simple, practical, life-changing program of delicious low-fat, fiber-rich foods not only aids in weight loss, but also lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and many forms of cancer. The 20/30 Fat & Fiber Diet Plan gives you all the tools you'll need, including: A handy keychain counter to help you track your daily intake of fat and fiber grams Over 100 delicious high-fiber, low-fat recipes A list of over 5,000 food products with their fat and fiber gram counts, coded to let you know at a glance what you can eat freely, what you can enjoy less often, and what you should avoid. The average American eats the fat equivalent of a cup of butter each day, and it's easy to convert this dietary fat to body fat (the saying "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips" isn't so farfetched after all). This is probably why one in three adults in this country is obese. But authors Gabe Mirkin, M.D., and Barry Fox, Ph.D. (coauthor of the bestselling Arthritis Cure) say that focusing on cutting the fat out of your diet is not the right way to lose weight, as a drastically low-fat diet almost always leads to late-day bingeing. By increasing dietary fiber to 30 grams a day (with beans, whole grains, and vegetables), and by moderately cutting fat intake to 20 grams, they say that permanent weight loss can be achieved-- without painful hunger pangs, headaches, or petulant fits of rage that threaten your long-term relationships. This is the very diet that TV talk-show host Larry King credits with saving ...
