This book was written to start a new conversation about how Dr. Simeons' protocol has relevance, not only as a hormonal therapy, but as a means to end our national eating disorder. Instead of continuing to apply the protocol as a short-term diet, it shoulder be discussed as a real solution -a tool to end irrational eating for emotional fulfillment. This country is dealing with a crisis: an addiction to eating emotionally, and the obvious result is the overwhelming increase in obesity. Think about the number of people in our culture who eat without hunger. When you observe our nation's behavior with food, it's very clear that fat isn't what we should be obsessed about, and weight shouldn't be the target of the problem. We need a genuine desire to eat less, one that isn't dependent on weight loss as a reward. This requires each of us to be accountable for our own emotions, and find happiness in life not centrally stimulated by food. Finally a book that credibly answers the questions every doctor, patient, and skeptic needs to know about the hCG protocol. - Dr. Heidi Anderson, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine? I've been prescribing hCG for weight loss for over four years, and nothing I've read comes close to having this level of expertise. Without question, this is the most informative and enlightening book about Dr. Simeons' hCG protocol available. - Dr. Ed Hagen, OB/GYN? Robin's approach to the hCG protocol is ingenious. Using the protocol as a way to heal the mind and body as an emotional and physical therapy is exactly what this country needs. - Becky Crowther, Registered Dietitian, Life Coach

Based on the premise that overeating is linked to emotional and spiritual deprivations, Love Hunger begins with a relationship inventory that will help you understand how disappointments with your family, spouse, or self can result in obesity. It then provides a comprehensive program that helps identify whether or not you are using food as a substitute for love, career fulfillment, or friendship and shows you how to break that addiction. Once you begin dealing with the psychological basis for your eating problems, you'll be ready to lose weight healthfully, with a dietitian-designed food plan, that includes daily menus and recipes, as well as strategies for relapses, maintenance, motivation, and more. This is a complete plan for body, mind, and soul.

This newest addition to Surrey's 1,001 line of cookbooks is the definitive book on grilling everything from appetizers and side dishes, to lamb, beef, hamburgers, sausages, fish & shellfish, wild game, chicken, game birds, turkey, pork, and desserts. Also included are dozens of recipes for sauces, marinades, and rubs to use when cooking on a barbecue grill. Author Rick Browne is one of the country's best-known authorities on grilling. The creator and host of the PBS TV series "Barbecue America," he is the author of seven cookbooks, most dealing with barbecue and grilling. In this new collection, he's created an encyclopedic collection of recipes drawn from cuisines around the world. Browne begins with a brief, introductory primer on basic grilling techniques, but the real substance of this book is the dazzling array of recipes-all manner of meat and fish, plus numerous vegetarian options, from every corner of the globe, with a particular focus on North American and Asian traditions. Never before have this many great grilling recipes been collected between two covers. If you love to grill-or know someone else who does-this is a must-have resource. It's the only grilling recipe book you'll ever need.

It is a fact that Baby Care begins right from the day or before a woman conceives. We all know that a mother plays the most significant role in a child's life. So, in order to bring a new life on this earth, a woman must be physically and mentally ready to go through the pleasures and pain of the nine-month long pregnancy and the precautions and care that she should take throughout this period to give birth to a healthy and happy baby. Baby Care & Child Health Problems presents complete and exhaustive information about the various facets of Pregnancy, how a baby grows inside the mother's womb and finally comes out of the mother's body as a newborn with a bundle of joy for everyone in the family. It also deals in detail how an expectant mother should get ready by making a list and collecting all the essential items required for her and her baby before his/her arrival in the family. The book is different from other Baby Care books as it explains in a unique and stepwise manner the various phases of a mother's life with the newborn, i.e, the first few weeks when a baby routine has to be planned, then the first three to six months, the food habits and ways of feeding, the sleeping patterns and duration, baby diapers, types of baby diapers and their correct usage, bathing the baby, keeping him/her in a clean and hygienic surrounding, etc. It also deals elaborately how to clean the baby's hair, skin, nose, ears, trim his/her nails, the application of oil or cream on the baby's body by a light massage, etc, in a detailed and systematic manner. Well, that's not all. The book also provides valuable information regarding Premature Baby Care, i.e, care of the child which is born before the due period of nine months, his/her feeding habits, growth chart, health problems and various other needs with special tips from specialists and pediatricians. How to deal with the common health problems, such as flu, teething fever, common cold, nappy rash, loose motions or constipation

From hurting to healing. resistance to recovery. struggle to strength. This can be your story When your parents, friends, or partner tell you what you should or should not do to "get better," do you think, "They just don't get it"? Melissa Groman gets it. As a therapist, she has spent twenty-five years helping young women who binge, starve, and physically harm themselves to heal and recover. In Better Is Not So Far Away, she combines her experience, wisdom, and compassion to help you see beyond your behavior, discover who you really are, and decide to change your life. You might know that obsession, disordered eating, and self-harm won't ultimately make you feel better-but you haven't been able to stop. Bridging the gap between what you feel and what you do, Groman explores raw emotional pain with a deep knowledge of the human psyche, including stories of those who have suffered, faced, and conquered self-destructive urges. "A life well-lived means more than just a lessening of symptoms," Groman writes. "It means a true shift in how you think and how you tend to your own feelings and the feelings of others." Dealing with family, friendships, emotions, and life itself-as well as food and body issues-can be complex and can get in the way of even wanting to recover. When you clear away some of the emotional obstacles, it's easier to take practical steps to genuine relief and healing. This book will help you do just that. It can be the first or next right step toward facing your greatest hurts and challenges in a practical, profoundly honest, and self-caring way. A healthy, happy life may seem impossible now-but, truly, it is not so far away.

It has often been said: Give a man a fish, and he has food for a day. Teach him to fish, and he can provide for himself over a lifetime. Raising a Responsible Child explains the phenomenon of the "overindulgent parent"-who helps and protects too much - and the "underdeveloped child"-who never really learns to stand on his or her own feet. Today many parents are especially prone to shower their children with love and attention and attempt to minimize stress by doing for them. In the scurry of modern life, parents often can't resist giving in to children's demands or solving their problems just to keep the peace. While this is basically a loving approach, it does not teach children how to be responsible and independent. Parents learn the hard way that their overindulgence does more harm than good: their children will only come to them with more demands and act helpless in the face of new problems. If you find yourself entrenched in this pattern, you can change by using a system of consistent, straight forward, and logical rules every day. You can teach your children to take responsibility for their actions and earn their privileges - and you will find, perhaps to your surprise, that they are willing and ready to do so. Some of the issues this book will help you to deal with are: - The whiny and overly demanding preschooler- The small child who throws tantrums in public to get his way- The older child who is inconsiderate of family members- The teenager who is constantly late for school- The young adult, who can't get her life together and mooches off her parents indefinitely. Many parents discover that the tried-and-true methods detailed here not only help their children handle emotions in a more mature and constructive manner but also result in higher self-esteem and a happier outlook on life.

In 1996, when Howard Lyman warned America on The Oprah Winfrey Show that Mad Cow Disease was coming to America, offended cattlemen sued him and Oprah both. Not only were Lyman and Oprah vindicated in court, but events have proved many of Lyman's predictions absolutely right. Mad Cow Disease has come to America, and Lyman argues persuasively in No More Bull! that the problem will only grow more deadly until our government deals with it seriously. In Mad Cowboy, Lyman, a fourth-generation Montana rancher turned vegetarian then vegan, told the story of his personal transformation after a spinal tumor, which he believes was caused by agricultural chemicals, nearly left him paralyzed. In No More Bull, Lyman uses his humor, compassion, firsthand experience in agriculture, and command of the facts of health to argue that we might all profit by transforming our diets. He makes a powerful case that Alzheimer's is yet another disease linked to eating meat. And he explains that the steak at the heart of your dinner plate not only may destroy your own heart but actually offers no more nutritional value than a doughnut! If you've been confused by the competing claims of the Atkins Diet, the South Beach Diet, and other fad diets, No More Bull! is the book that will set you straight. Its pure, unvarnished truth is told with down-home common sense. Lyman's got a message for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans - and the message of No More Bull! is that we can all do better for ourselves and the planet.

Compromise is not a dirty word. Table for Two, Book 2French chef Luc Tessier once thought his world-class cooking skills-and cleaver-sharp ability to strike sexual sparks-had won him the ultimate prize. The heart of his beautiful English boyfriend, food critic Daniel Sheridan. Little did he know the battle had only just begun. And now his most formidable foe has just shown up on their doorstep. Daniel's mother. With Daniel still firmly in the closet and determined to stay, the chance that Luc will get laid any time soon is deflating faster than a failed soufflé. Daniel has learned to deal with Luc's natural arrogance and domineering tendencies. What he can't handle are the repercussions, real and imagined, of coming out before he's ready. Hence his nightmare task of juggling his nosy mother and his horny lover under the same roof. Seven days is a long time for anyone to be on his best behaviour, much less a Frenchman who's only a touch away from one desperate goal-his lover's bed. But getting what he wants could come at too great a cost. Daniel's trust. Warning: Take one hot French chef and mix thoroughly with his even hotter English partner. Season well with ego, frustration and denial. Add a liberal dash of mother-in-law and watch the sparks fly.

There are over 300,000 dialysis patients in India and counting but there is a gaping void in the literature available to dialysis patients, apart from medical pharma booklets on specific drugs. This book is the first of its kind in India and is based on the author's personal experience with DIAYSIS. It deals with issues such as side effects, blood and chemical imbalances, and other problems caused by the CKD. Most importantly, it looks at ways of living with dialysis with the correct medical and dietary regulations. This book has been written to inspire and guide other CKD patients and their families on how to manage issues raised by dialysis and to inform them about food choices and diet that can make their lives easier. The large number of dialysis patients in India does not always have sufficient information about food supplements or diet. This book sets the record straight on myth and misinformation while offering practical tips and a cookbook of recipes specially for those on DIALYSIS.

In this little book Dr. Marie Stopes deals with subjects which are generally regarded as too sacred for an entirely frank treatment. Some earnest and delicate minds may feel apprehensive that such frankness in details is "dangerous," because the effect on prurient minds might be to give them food for their morbid fancies. It is just such a fear which has been largely responsible for the silence and mystery which have for so long been wrapped round the sacred rites of mating.

Italy delights and stimulates with its magnificent cities and monuments, its stunningly beautiful landscapes, the glory of its art and architecture, the richness and variety of its food, the elegance of its design and fashion, and the vitality and charm of its people. Italian style and culture have been exported all over the world. What is it like at home? Almost ten years after the 2008 banking crisis, Italy struggles to maintain its standard of living, the stability of the currency, and its ability to provide jobs for its school leavers and university graduates, many of whom now leave to work elsewhere in Europe. In addition, the influx of refugees from southeast Europe and across the Mediterranean is putting pressure on both its security and its economy. How are traditional Italian society and politics changing to deal with these challenges, with its most famous political personality of the last ten years, the former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, still apparently waiting in the wings? The Italians are the most European-minded of nations, having emerged from a long history of regional fragmentation. Culture Smart! Italy introduces you to their history and culture and offers an insider's guide to their daily lives, passions, and preoccupations. This is your chance to get to know them better.

Most people understand that they are in control of what and how they eat. Unfortunately, there can be a daily disconnect regarding one's body, mind, and mouth, very often lasting for years. In this guide, author Margaret Marshall uses insights and lessons from her clients' lives, along with her own experiences, to address the challenges we often face controlling our weight. She asks you to consider the unpleasant and sometimes life-threatening circumstances we accept in our lives instead of taking responsibility for our well-being. Among the real stories she shares in Body, Mind, and Mouth is the story of a New York City police officer who no longer fits into his bulletproof vest. He closes it tightly on his right side leaving a gap on his left side, knowing to face right if he is ever in a shoot-out. Also included is the story of a working mother and her son, who became increasingly heavier due to her busy life and the ease of obtaining fast food. These and other stories illustrate how our minds affect our mouths, how our mouths affect our bodies, and how a shift in thought can benefit our health and wellness. "Margaret Marshall uses humor and real stories to demonstrate her vast knowledge of nutrition and psychology in the weight-loss field. She brings to the book the same enthusiasm and knowledge she does in her speaking. Her message is clear, well written, and motivating. Imagine a book that is easy to read and packed with good information. Now that's a real deal." -Dr. Harris R. Cohen, author of Lessons Learned: How to Negotiate the Life You Want to Live
