The 16-Word Diet is a once-in-a-generation book - a survival guide for people who are tired of miracle diets and magic pills, and who want common-sense solutions to the complex problems of obesity. Written by mathematician and weight loss expert Jay Wiener, The 16-Word Diet explodes dozens of popular myths about dieting and replaces them with just sixteen words - the simple keys to losing weight permanently and living a longer, healthier life. Here are a few of the many topics covered, written with the author's remarkable gifts for wisdom and laughter: On Maintenance: Losing weight is hard work, but maintaining a weight loss is hand-to-hand combat. If you don't learn how to maintain before you start to diet, you will be clobbered. On Goal Setting: Most dieters never choose reasonable goals. Worse, they do no planning before they start, unless you count reading the directions on a bottle of enchanted diet pills as planning. On Fad Diets: The Raw Food Diet is a typical fad. Dieters aren't allowed to cook their food. Raw vegetables are fine with me, but... Raw pork? Raw chicken? Those dieters may get thinner, but who wants to kiss them? On Binge Eating: I was a binge-eater for twenty years. The most important thing to understand is this: you can stop. Not immediately, of course, but you can learn how to turn massive overeating into mini-binges, and then into micro-binges, and happily live that way forever. On Bad Obesity Research: They studied the effects of diet on ED by asking men to remember how often they had ED. Seriously? I can remember how often I've slept in an igloo with Jennifer Lawrence, but not much else. On Temptation: Tempted to indulge in a chocolate croissant at Starbucks? Think of all the teenage baristas who breathed on that croissant before you started to eat it. On Exercise: You hate exercise. Too bad. If you're serious about losing weight, then stop reading and go for a walk. Buy this book when you come back. The 16-Word Diet. The most important new diet book in a generation - and fun to read. ********** From the Introduction: People who succeed at losing weight and keeping it off share a secret: they understand that losing weight is not about food. It's about every part of your life. And that's why this book is so different from other 'diet' books. It doesn't focus on what you eat; it focusses on how you can live a slimmer, healthier life for the rest of your life. What you eat is an important part of your life, but not the only part. To be successful, you need new skills that will help you live a healthy life at a significantly lower weight. How do you prepare before you start to diet? What are the most common mistakes people make when starting a diet? How do you choose between low-fat and high-fat diets? What makes us slip after months of success? How can we recover? What is the true value of exercise? How can you handle weight-loss plateaus? How should you manage vacations and holidays? Seven topics (there are many others) and only one is about food - because dieting is about so much more than what you eat. The 16-Word Diet is a rare book. It can change your life.

If you need a laugh and some encouragement in your quest for a healthier and slimmer you, then you need to treat yourself to this book! Laughing is great for your waistline and a sure way to keep that weight off!

Incorporating systems theory, teachings from mythology and religions, and the human sciences, The World Peace Diet presents the outlines of a more empowering understanding of our world, based on a comprehension of the far-reaching implications of our food choices and the worldview those choices reflect and mandate. The author offers a set of universal principles for all people of conscience, from any religious tradition, that they can follow to reconnect with what we are eating, what was required to get it on our plate, and what happens after it leaves our plates.

Over the last year, author Melissa Milne asked thousands of women how they feel about their bodies, weight, food, and self-image. The answers were shocking: more than 80 percent feel guilty after a meal; nearly 60 percent have dieted down a dress size to please a man; almost two-thirds say they have been body-shamed by another woman--and 50 percent would rather be skinnier than happier or smarter. These women are sick and tired of feeling bad while trying to lose weight. And Milne has the solution: Don't be perfect--just be Naughty. The Naughty Diet says screw guilt and pass the wine. Every chapter is built around a series of Naughty Steps -- science-based, life-tested, attitude-adjusted approaches to food, exercise, and life management -- each informed by the country's top doctors and nutritionists. Following this plan, you'll learn how to effortlessly embrace principles of healthy living, as well as pleasurable eating, changing the way you think about food -- and yourself. Far from telling you what you have to do, The Naughty Diet instead frees you to live life to the fullest; without shame, guilt, fear, or confusion. By doing so, you'll also allow for indulgences, including chocolate, wine, bread, and cheese, along with more than 40 deliciously nutritious recipes inside the book. Now balanced, the guilt -- and the pounds -- will melt away.

This book offers an easy-to-follow set of writing principles. For example, use active verbs whenever possible, favour concrete language over vague abstractions, avoid long strings of prepositional phrases, employ adjectives and adverbs only when they contribute something new to the meaning of a sentence and reduce your dependence on the "waste words": 'it', 'this', 'that' and 'there'. The author also shows these rules in action through examples from famous authors such as Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson. The book includes a test to help you assess your own writing and get advice on problem areas.

Reclaim your time, money, health, and happiness from our toxic diet culture with groundbreaking strategies from a registered dietitian, journalist, and host of the Food Psych podcast. 68 percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90% of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66% of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it? The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others. It's sexist, racist, and classist, yet this way of thinking about food and bodies is so embedded in the fabric of our society that it can be hard to recognize. It masquerades as health, wellness, and fitness, and for some, it is all-consuming. In Anti-Diet, Christy Harrison takes on diet culture and the multi-billion-dollar industries that profit from it, exposing all the ways it robs people of their time, money, health, and happiness. It will turn what you think you know about health and wellness upside down, as Harrison explores the history of diet culture, how it's infiltrated the health and wellness world, how to recognize it in all its sneaky forms, and how letting go of efforts to lose weight or eat "perfectly" actually helps to improve people's health—no matter their size. Drawing on scientific research, personal experience, and stories from patients and colleagues, Anti-Diet provides a radical alternative to diet culture, and helps readers reclaim their bodies, minds, and lives so they can focus on the things that truly matter.
