Wir alle wuchsen mit Glaubenssätzen, geprägt durch Werbekampagnen, wie "Milch macht müde Männer munter" oder "Die Milch macht's" auf. Doch bringen immer mehr Studien die ungesunden oder sogar gesundheitsschädlichen Aspekte von Milchkonsum zutage. Anstatt des erhofften Nutzens für die Knochen soll Milch sogar das Risiko für Osteoporose, Krebs und zahlreiche andere Beschwerden erhöhen. Aber was steckt wirklich dahinter?

Scientists outside of the diet industry have discovered powerful ways of losing weight that almost nobody knows about. Grand Theft Weight Loss "steals" their most important discoveries and shows us how they can be used to cut hunger, quit sugar, stop overeating, "shrink" your stomach and eliminate unhealthy cravings. For example, when brain researchers accidentally bumped into a technique that cuts hunger by 50 percent they didn’t publicize it, because they were studying memory, not weight loss.

This book will teach you everything you need to know about weight lifting and muscle building for achieving your body's natural potential. It will show you exactly how often and at what pace to exercise, and help you design a personalized fitness plan that will show real, visible results!

This book is perfectly suited to the real-life needs of real-life people!

Transformation Road takes the listener on the long and often tragic journey of Sean Anderson's battle with food and morbid obesity spanning just about his entire life.

Having won many a battle but inevitably losing his war, Sean offers us some insight as to who the real enemy has been.

Mary Vitale, especialista en nutrición, nos explica cómo funciona la industria de los alimentos y por qué es importante que los padres cuiden la ingesta de azúcar de sus hijos.

Is Organic Worth the Price?

$8 for organic milk. Sure, you could spend half as much, but it’s worth it to know that you’re supporting a small family farm where the cows can munch on green grass all day. Plus, you’re not drinking nasty hormones and chemicals, and you’re doing your part to save the environment. Seems like you’re winning all around, but what would you do if that picture of the happy farm, the personal health, and the clean air and water turned out not to be so pretty? What if organic isn't all it's hyped up to be?

What if organic produce only had marginally less pesticide residues than conventional produce? What if the organic, grass-fed beef cows ended up on the very same feedlots as factory-farmed, grain-fed beef cows? What if large swaths of the country were being taken over by huge corporate-owned farming operations, organic farming operations that were destroying the landscape and depleting the soil? Organic is much more complicated than we’ve been led to believe. From the scale to the possible health implications of pesticides to the treatment of animals, it’s not a black and white issue.

Natural Deception takes a sobering look at one of the fastest growing industries in the world today. We find that organic may be one more buzz phrase used to sell products rather than a movement really concerned for the wellbeing of our planet and its inhabitants. In the spirit of an undercover news reporter, author Joey Lott takes us through the organic food industry point by point, examining our assumptions and revealing the truth. Find out what major corporation owns your favorite small organic brand. Examine whether pesticides may be a health detriment or even partially beneficial.

Pundits, politicians, medical professionals, and hucksters alike bombard us with their scaremongering. We're reminded often of the high rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and other diseases, and we're encouraged - sometimes even mandated - to reduce our risk. Amidst the hysteria, everyone is looking for something to blame. Sugar has become a scapegoat. In fact, sugar has been called "the new tobacco". But the evidence against sugar is practically non-existent.

At first, glance, boosting your metabolism may seem like a monumental task. This is not the case! Boosting metabolism is as simple as making little changes to our diet by eating foods that are rich in fiber and protein. If you eat the right kind of food, you can lose weight fast!

Your life as you know it has been a bit of a roller coaster - in between work, your significant other, kids, and life in general, everything seems to be getting out of hand, and yet today, you have finally stepped up and made a point to take control of yourself, body and soul. This is where we step in. Now, while soul searching is going to be a whole other matter, we are going to start by making sure we have a tangible handle on the physicality of your very being.

As anyone who has had the misfortune of seeing someone suffering from a chronic condition knows, living and existing are two very different things. How old are you now? How old do you expect to be when you have grandchildren? What about great grandchildren? Do you want to be around to see them? Do you want to just be around, or do you want to be able to stay independent and mobile? I know, these all sound like a bunch of random questions, but they're really not - in fact, they are all basically the same question.
