The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite

May 22nd, 2012 No comments


Product Description

Dr. David A. Kessler, the dynamic and controversial former FDA commissioner known for his crusade against the tobacco industry, is taking on another business that’s making Americans sick: the food industry. In The End of Overeating, Dr. Kessler shows us how our brain chemistry has been hijacked by the foods we most love to eat: those that contain stimulating combinations of fat, sugar, and salt.

Drawn from the latest brain science as well as interviews with top physicians and food industry insiders, The End of Overeating exposes the food industry’s aggressive marketing tactics and reveals shocking facts about how we lost control over food—and what we can do to get it back. For the millions of people struggling with their weight as well as those of us who simply can’t seem to eat our favorite foods in moderation, Dr. Kessler’s cutting-edge investigation offers valuable insights and practical answers for America’s largest-ever public health crisis. There has never been a more thorough, compelling, or in-depth analysis of why we eat the way we do.

Supersized to Superhealthy! Beat Childhood Obesity and Stop Your Kids Getting Fat. Healthy eating for children can be fun and easy!

Product Description
What others are saying about this book!

“What really tips it into five stars is not only Sarah Curran’s observation that people must stop laying blame for their child’s overweight problems on other people and organizations (bravo!), but the fact she then gives practical ways parents can use to get their children healthy.” J. Carrel *****

“offers countless practical and manageable solutions to deal with and prevent obesity, right down to quick and easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.” Nicole Lespersance *****

“It is as much about being a good parent to your kids and giving them the best diet you can, while teaching them the benefits to a good, healthy diet.” JP *****

“Sarah not only lays out exactly what to do to tackle the problem of children’s obesity, but comes up with methods that are actually enjoyable while doing it. “ Bob *****

MOM, I’M TOO FAT TO PLAY! And with that my four year old burst into tears. His school friends had told him that because he was fat he couldn’t play with the group and had to sit on his own during lunchtime.

After I reassured him he was fine and I had calmed down a bit (ever want to kill your kid’s friends?), I let my mothering guilt take over! Was he overeating? Was he heading for obesity? Sure, he was a little bit chubby, but wasn’t that just normal? By the time my husband came home I had myself convinced that my son would be obese by the time he was five and have health issues for the rest of his life.

While the above incident was relatively mild, it was the catalyst for this book. Can you imagine the torture that some overweight kids go through every day at school, and the bullying or name calling doesn’t end when they leave school!
The sad fact is that childhood obesity is a huge problem (pardon the pun!) and one that is increasing. More kids are overweight than ever before and the problems start almost as soon as a child is born. How many babies have you seen eating their dinner in fast food chains? Or eating a bag of chips (crisps for the UK reader) in their stroller? One bag of chips can contain over 100% of the recommended salt allowance for an adult. God only knows how the child’s liver and kidneys are going to deal with that excess salt.

Poor diets also lead to problems at school. Apart from the bullying my middle son experienced, there is also the issue of behavior. If your child is misbehaving at school or getting poor grades, the answer could lie in his diet and general lifestyle.

You will also learn:

Chapter 1: Why Worry about Childhood Obesity?
Chapter 2: What Causes Children to become Overweight?
Chapter 3: Is Nature or Nurture to Blame?
Chapter 4: Is There a Miracle Cure?
Chapter 5: Practice What You Preach
Chapter 6: Diet is a Dirty Word!
Chapter 7: Putting the Theory into Practice
Chapter 8: Water – 75% of our Kids Don’t Get Enough!

Chapter 12: Should you go Organic?
Chapter 13: Food Labels Demystified!

Chapter 15: Help My Kids Won’t Stop Eating
Chapter 16: Kids Need to get Physical!

Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It

May 14th, 2012 No comments


Product Description

Building upon his critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Gary Taubes revisits the urgent question of what’s making us fat—and how we can change.
 
He reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century—none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat—and the good science that has been ignored. He also answers the most persistent questions: Why are some people thin and others fat? What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods should we eat, and what foods should we avoid? Persuasive, straightforward, and practical, Why We Get Fat is an essential guide to nutrition and weight management.
