In Search of the Perfect Healthy Meal You know you want to start eating healthy, but it seems too complicated, too expensive, and too time-consuming. Maybe you suffer from insomnia or skin disorders. Maybe it’s digestive ailments like IBS or ulcers. Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis. There’s no shortage of diet information on the internet these days, but it seems a little extreme for your tastes. Isn’t there a way to get back to basics? Isn’t there a way to eat healthy and maybe even resolve some of your health issues without resorting to cutting out major food groups? Convenience Doesn’t Have to Cost You Your Health Maybe your health concerns aren’t so dramatic, but you still want to feed your family the best food you can. Maybe you’re just looking for a meal you can put on the table in mere minutes after you get home from work. Something hearty, satisfying, and healthy that you can prepare ahead of time and have ready for any meal of the day. The solution to convenient, healthy meals won’t be found in any box, can, or package. All you’ll find there is MSG, trans fats, and “natural” flavors. No, the solution to a simple, hearty meal will start in your stockpot. Soup, It’s What’s for Dinner Craig Fear knows soup. Not in a pretentious, chef-y way, but in a way your grandmother might, and he’s collected his best recipes in Fearless Broths and Soups. Affordable, nourishing, and fast–that’s what this book is about. Gain confidence in the kitchen. Get your kids (and fellow adults) to like broccoli. Learn how cooking in bulk can save you time and money. Never have another blank stare when asked, “What’s for breakfast/lunch/dinner?” It’s soup!

Cochineal extract, diacetyl, teriary butylhydroquinone, BHA, HFCS, MSG--it's not just knowing how to pronounce what's in your food, it's knowing what it does and how it can affect you that matters most. But with so many processed foods on the supermarket shelves and additives showing up in the most unlikely foods, that's certainly a tall order. An A-Z Guide to Food Additives will help consumers avoid undesirable food additives and show them which additives do no harm and may even be nutritious. Designed to fit in a purse or pocket, this little book will serve as an "additive translator" when navigating through the landmine field of additives or ingredients that may cause allergic reactions like headaches, fatigue, and breathing difficulties or those that cause bloating or make one hyperactive. Included are safety ratings to 300 ingredients and reference charts of such additives as those that may potentially cause cancer or allergic reactions or that should be limited for sodium-sensitive individuals. There is also essential nutrition advice, hints on what to look for when reading those unreadable ingredient labels, and even tips on buying fresh produce in order to avoid pesticides.* The average American consumes about 150 pounds of food additives per year.* Safety ratings on over 300 ingredients -- all based on the latest scientific evidence.* Formatted for easy reference and small enough to carry along to the supermarket.

The easiest thing to do would have been to heal myself from gluten damage and return to my successful 6-digit career. It was a hell of an ordeal. Months of doctors, hospitals, mystery symptoms,... finally diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I couldn't believe all that chaos came from my "daily bread". With 2 decades of sports nutrition behind me, it was easy to heal myself at warp speed once I knew what the problem was. I always thought gluten was just a super starch that made people gain weight. With all the training I was doing, it's the last thing I ever worried about. Wow did I ever learn the hard way. The more research I did, the more shocked I was at all the ways gluten damages health. Equally shocking is how many people Celiac / Coeliac Disease affects (it's NOT just 1%, that's a total myth). ...and then it haunted me how many others were suffering and had no idea why. How many others were dealing with depression and put on anti-depressants instead of a gluten free diet. Then came the parade of bad information. Flawed food lists. Every day made me more worried about others still suffering. I couldn't sleep worrying about people I never met (you?). It became impossible to go back to my regular work knowing what I knew. So I dropped everything. Researched exhaustively for a full year and put together the accurate information someone with Celiac Disease or Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity needs to get well and stay well. That was almost a decade ago, and my obsessive research continues... to this day I uncover shocking information every day on gluten. This book includes: -my "A to Z" ingredient list of what's safe and not safe (also sold separately on its own without any extra verbiage so that you can download on your smart phone and use when grocery shopping) -hidden sources of gluten (also sold separately as a report for quick reference, included free in this book) -common nutritional deficiencies -ideas for helping transition to a gluten free lifestyle It's not "the big book of biology". I know tha...

Robert Lustig changed the national conversation about fat. Now, a pioneer in “obesity paradox” research delivers a message that everyone who struggles to shed socalled excess weight will want to hear. After research uncovered that overweight and even moderately obese people with certain chronic diseases often live longer and fare better than their normal weight counterparts, Carl Lavie, MD, realized that being moderately fit is more important for good health than having a low body mass index. Sharing the science behind these recent findings, The Obesity Paradoxshows readers how to achieve what’s really important: maximum health—not minimum weight.
