Weight Control

"The Fasting Cure" by Upton Sinclair is an intriguing exploration into the health benefits of fasting, first published in 1911. In this work, Sinclair diverges from his better-known investigative and fictional writings to delve into personal health and wellness.

The psychological impact of intuitive eating is powerful, as it aims to remove the barriers of foods you eat versus foods you are not permitted to have and puts the decision making in your mind and body. You eat what you feel and when those forbidden foods are readily available, the cravings for them may not be as strong as they once were, when they were “off the table.”

What if you could lose weight without cutting out foods that you love? That was the dream of Kayla Cox, who had struggled with her weight throughout her life. At age 30, she weighed 222 pounds and had tried every diet, sometimes with initial success, but she could never keep it off. Frustrated and feeling hopeless, she discovered intermittent fasting. In the process of losing 80 pounds, she learned she had been making weight loss too complicated. With intermittent fasting, there was no need to count calories, cut carbs, or do high-intensity workouts.

A houseful of clutter may not be the only reason people pack on extra pounds, but research proves that it plays a big role.

Many of us experience signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance every day. Do you have trouble dragging yourself out of bed in the morning? Ever have an uncontrollable sugar craving at three pm? Chronic headaches? Lack of energy? Do you get stressed just sitting in your office? Our bodies are wired to send us signals when something isn't right, but often we're too busy to hear them. Compounding the problem is a lack of understanding about the consequences if these symptoms are left unaddressed.

Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she gave her brain patients–spontaneously shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows us how to sharpen the brain, and smarten and heal the gut. Weight gain is not about the food, but about the body’s environment. Excess weight is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared or ‘primed’ for weight loss, you will fight an uphill biochemical battle.

Mainstream health science has let you down. Weight loss is not the key to health, diet and exercise are not effective weight-loss strategies, and fatness is not a death sentence. Body Respect debunks common myths about weight, including the misconceptions that BMI can accurately measure health, that fatness necessarily leads to disease, and that dieting will improve health. The authors also help make sense of how poverty and oppression - such as racism, homophobia, and classism - affect life opportunity, self-worth, and even influence metabolism.

Peter Walsh, the bestselling author of It's All Too Much, believes that the secret to successfully losing weight is to forget about calorie counting and weekly weigh-ins. Instead, you need to focus on how, why, and where you eat. When it comes to clearing clutter (the fat in our homes), it isn't about the stuff itself, it's about the life you want to live. The same is true for losing weight: It's not about the pounds, it's about living the life you deserve in the body you want.

Should you follow the Mediterranean diet or the Asian diet? Finally, there's a way to ease your concerns and meet your goals: The Fat Flush Plan will show you how to shed unwanted pounds while actually improving your health, and building a bridge between beauty and vitality.

The solution to this problem lies within the Leptin Diet, a diet designed to reset your leptin levels or sensitivity. The interesting thing about the leptin diet is that it is neither a pleasure depriving diet, nor a starvation routine camouflaged diet. It is a diet centered on what foods to eat and when to eat them.

Is it possible to eat well, drink wine, and still lose weight? Melanie Avalon is living proof that it's not only possible, it's unbelievably simple and straightforward.

It's a combination that Avalon discovered after years of self-experimentation and intense research on the mechanics of body fat regulation.

A hypnotic gastric band is a psychological procedure that can convince the unconscious mind that a gastric band has actually been fitted. As a result, the body behaves as if it was actually in place, the amount of food which can be consumed is decreased, and weight begins to be lost.
