Mainstream media and even some so-called experts have instilled the fear of carbohydrates into millions of people. Yet, the obesity rate continues to climb higher and higher. Learn why fearing carbohydrates doesn't have to be case. You can eat carbs and still lose weight. Actually, you will lose weight faster than ever before. Carbohydrates give us energy, help our organs function properly and fuel our brain. Long term low carb diets can create headaches, low energy and increased irritability. Even stress out and weaken your immune system. Eat the right carbohydrates at the right times and it makes fat loss relatively easy. It is called carb cycling with nutrient timing. When you time your carbohydrate intake you are utilizing those carbs for that needed energy, organ function, etc. You are also training your body to burn stored fat and become more efficient at using protein and fat for energy. Eat the wrong carbohydrates at the wrong times and you will trigger hormones that promote fat storage. Eat the RIGHT carbohydrates in the proper intervals and you'll begin transforming your body within the first week of starting this form of flexible carb cycling.

In a society where pregnant women laugh, cry, and commiserate about their unavoidable and unsightly pregnancy symptoms, it seems crazy to suggest that these symptoms are actually avoidable. In Primal Moms Look Good Naked, Peggy Emch challenges conventional pregnancy wisdom—that the fate of a pregnant woman and new mothers is ugly and undesirable—and explains how eating the foods we were designed to eat can reduce or even eliminate most of the embarrassing signs new mothers go to extremes to cover up. Supported by scientific research, observational accounts of traditional peoples, and her own journey into vibrant health, Emch explains how a beautiful pregnant body is a reflection of the mother and baby's good health. Each chapter focuses on a different common pregnancy complaint, identifies causes, and details ways to prevent and repair them. Some of the topics include: • Stretch marks • Cellulite • Varicose and spider veins • Diastasis Recti • Flabby belly • Skin problems Emch incorporates her years of experience and research into a practical plan for achieving and maintaining excellent physical health and, consequently, good looks throughout pregnancy. In Primal Moms Look Good Naked, Emch reveals • How a Paleolithic diet can heal your skin tone, color, and texture • How pregnancy cravings and trips to the ice cream aisle in the middle of the night are not normal symptoms of pregnancy • How stretch marks and cellulite are signs of dietary insufficiencies • How the junk we eat and the healthy food we don't affects not only our bodies, but also the bodies of our babies • How just a little bit of weight bearing exercise each week can transform our aging bodies into beautiful, youthful ones Primal Moms Look Good Naked is a complete guide for women seeking a healthy pregnancy and baby. It includes a full nutritional guide, recipes, and an exercise program suitable for women of all athletic abilities.

How 2 Look Good Naked was created after a decade long search to find the best way to exercise efficiently, effectively, and with results worth talking about. For the longest time I was indoctrinated with the idea that, more exercise equals better exercise, and as I've found through my journey in the last two years, this is absolutely not the case. This book is a beginners approach (the one I took) to the field of evidence based exercise. Hopefully to be used as a tool to get readers more interested in the field of Evidence Based Exercise (sometimes called High Intensity Training), or at the very least to help people convinced they don't have the time to get results from less than an hour of training per week. The diet portion of this book is a blend of my own personal experience with the Ketogenic Diet. What has worked for me (and been extremely effective) and the parts that didn't serve me. My hope is with both the exercise and diet portion of this book, people will find something different they've never experienced before. More than following my plan to the letter, I hope it invigorates readers (through some success) to inquire what else could work for them, and to pursue that. I don't proclaim to know anything (or even very much), but I hope this book offers readers an opportunity to get interested in their own health and to become experts of their own bodies. I wish everyone who reads this the best of luck on their own fitness journey, and I hope if anything, I can just help along the way.

Free Yourself From Carbophobia Carbs. The very word strikes fear in the heart of many these days. They make you fat, right? And they lead to diabetes and a host of other ailments...right? Chances are, if you're trying to lose weight, you've probably tried a low-carb diet. But did it work for you long-term? If you're still stuck in the yo-yo diet rut, still struggling with a muffin top, still reluctant to attend that high school reunion or beach vacation, then you need to get your facts straight. Wouldn't it be nice to "finally" get your diet ducks in a row and be lean for "life?" Carbs Aren't the Devil Did you know that both high-carb diets and low-carb diets can help you lose fat? The trick is figuring out which diet will work for you. Up until now, that was a guessing game that involved a lot of self-experimentation with a host of possible negative side effects if you chose incorrectly-fatigue, depression, anxiety, sexual dysfunction. This happens a lot if your diet doesn't match your lifestyle. But how do you know which diet will work for you? How many carbs should you be eating? After all, you want all the benefits of eating carbs-sound sleep, better performance, improved mood (and help "below the belt")-but you don't want to run the risk of gaining body fat or losing muscle. Finally, a Sane Weight Loss Plan Whether you're looking to get ripped or simply looking to get off the couch, Nate Miyaki has the diet plan for you. "The Truth About Carbs" is way more than a book about carbohydrates; it's a complete, step-by-step fat loss system that can fit any lifestyle and help you attain whatever goals you've set for yourself. This book contains everything you need to know to slash fat and build muscle, whether you're an office worker or an elite athlete. No more guessing games. No more excuses. Do some simple calculations and head out to the grocery store, then get ready to get lean for life. It's really that simple.

Nature deals everyone a certain body type based on an individual set point, which is the amount of fat the body strives to maintain at all times.

Look Great Naked Diet offers a permanent solution for changing genetic disposition, allowing everyone to enjoy lasting results. Renowned fitness and nutrition expert Brad Schoenfeld will show anyone how to redefine their phy-sique with: * an individualized diet designed for each of the three body types with seven-day menu plans; * a balanced eating plan that includes healthy levels of protein and nutrient-dense carbohydrates; and * delicious recipes from some of the world's top fitness personalities.

The 60-Second Sweat combines hot fitness trends High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT) into a single efficient and effective training program, with each exercise requiring no more than 1 minute at a time. There are—literally—thousands of fitness programs out there to choose from. What makes the 60-Second Sweat different? For the past 15 years, Patrick Striet has run a fitness training facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he has worked with hundreds of every day men and women—working moms, college students, senior citizens, middle-aged men, and more (plus a few elite athletes). Through this experience, he has identified the barriers most people face when it comes to exercising consistently—lack of time, lack of results, injuries, boredom—and specifically designed the 60-Second Sweat to address them. The 60-Second Sweat is: Efficient: Most mainstream fitness programs call for a 5 to 6-day per week commitment, with workouts ranging up to an hour (or more) in duration. What’s more, most programs focus on one component of fitness in each workout. For example, you might do cardiovascular exercises for 45 minutes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and then strength train for an hour on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Who has time for that? Not me…and probably not you either. With the 60-Second Sweat, you’ll work out between 20 to 40 minutes a day for 3 to 4 days a week, and you will never be performing the same exercise or activity for more than 1 minute at a time. Effective: HIIT (high-intensity interval training), in which you alternate between bouts of intense exercise and short “rest” periods, has been a growing fitness trend for several years now, and for good reason. Research has shown that it’s more effective than traditional steady-state workouts for both building cardiovascular fitness and shedding fat. However, it neglects muscular fitness, which is key for boosting metabolism. So the 60-Second Sweat combines HIIT with MRT (metabolic resistance training) to build strength along with cardiovascular fitness in one comprehensive workout. Safe: Keeping in mind the typical orthopedic issues most “real world” adult face—cranky knees, aching backs, stiff shoulders, and sore necks—the 60-Second Sweat gives equal weight to every muscle group, and not just the showy mirror muscles emphasized by many fitness programs. Exercises progress gradually in difficulty and intensity so that you start seeing results right away, building from a beginner level to advanced in just 9 weeks. Varied: The 60-Second Sweat is a balanced and functional movement-based plan, requiring basic and fundamental human movement patterns performed with bare bones equipment. During the 60-Second Sweat workouts, you will never be performing the same exercise or activity for more than 1 minute, so you will never get bored. Every exercise, set, rep…every minute…will count for and towards something: developing the best and fittest you! Bottom line: the days of inefficient, archaic, time-consuming, unsafe, and impractical fitness workouts are over. Based on the most up-to-date principles in modern exercise science, the 60-Second Sweat is a program, not just a workout. It is not a short-term fix, but, rather, a roadmap to the fittest, most confident you. While the 60-Second Sweat workouts will certainly challenge you and leave you dripping in sweat, that’s not the end goal. The purpose of the programs in this book is for you to attain phenomenal and sustainable fitness…safely and realistically…1 minute at a time.

Let's face it—women simply do not shed pounds or build muscle as easily as men do. Drawing on fascinating recent research that has shed new light on the gender differences in food metabolism and the effect of exercise, the editors of Women's Health, the healthy lifestyle magazine for today's active woman on the go, have devised a weight-loss plan that works especially well for women who would like to lose 5-25 pounds. Key features of the Women's Health Perfect Body Plan include: • Glucomannan, a soluble fiber that helps dieters feel full faster—and therefore eat less throughout the day • Meal plans that contain at least 40 grams of fiber per day • An adjustment for the impact of female hormones on weight loss (women need a higher protein diet than men to increase lean body tissue and decrease body fat) • Dieting techniques that revolve around psychological needs and personal goals and lifestyle • Two diet plans to choose from—one higher in fats and lower in carbs; the other higher in carbs and lower in fats (simple food tests help women choose the type they need) In addition to the customized eating plan—complete with 75 easy-to-prepare recipes—there is a vigorous customized fitness program consisting of 50 exercises that brings results in just three weeks.
