Food Control

Are you struggling with your weight - tired of thinking about food all the time, and feel like your eating is out of control? Do you know what you're supposed to do to lose weight, but often have a hard time consistently following through? Do you feel like there's something deeper going on inside that's keeping you from achieving your weight loss goal - but you don't know how to get at it and fix it?

The secret to becoming healthier, losing weight, living an energetic life, and healing the planet has nothing to do with counting calories or feeling deprived - the key is re‑learning how to eat like a human. This means finding food that is as nutrient-dense as possible. In Eat Like a Human, archaeologist and chef Dr. Bill Schindler draws on cutting-edge science and a lifetime of research to explain how nutrient density and bioavailability are the cornerstones of a healthy diet.

If you struggle with binge eating, emotional eating, stress eating, or if you repeatedly manage to lose weight only to gain it all back, you may be approaching things with the wrong mindset. From his perspective as a formerly food-obsessed psychologist - and previous consultant to major food manufacturers - Dr. Livingston shares specific techniques for isolating and permanently dis-empowering your “fat thinking self”.

Waking up and not liking what you see in the mirror every day is one of the worst feelings a person can have. If you can relate to this, you are not alone. Unfortunately, obesity rates in America are at an all-time high, and more and more people are developing health issues because of it. Weight loss does not have to be this impossible, life-altering process that it is made out to be. Let’s be honest. The difficult part of a diet is not getting started; it is sticking with it through thick and thin (literally). That’s exactly why we wrote 30 Days of Whole Food Diet.

An innovative 16-day plan that combines the fat-burning benefits of a ketogenic diet with the brain-clearing and keto-flu protection of alkaline food, by the USA Today best-selling author of The Hormone Fix. There is no question that going keto really works. But going keto also often results in gastrointestinal discomfort, low energy, and moodiness - known as the "keto flu". The solution? Add alkaline foods to your plate for a lifestyle that’s more sustainable and easier on your body. In other words: Go Keto-Green and thrive!

Did you know that eating fat does not make you fat? Did you realize that eating fat-free carbohydrates can make you fat? Have you noticed that Americans are getting fatter in spite of eating less fat and more carbohydrates?

From Atkins to Dukan, fear of the almighty carb has taken over the diet industry for the past few decades - even the mere mention of a starch-heavy food is enough to trigger an avalanche of shame and longing. But the truth is, carbs are not the enemy. Now, best-selling author John A. McDougall, MD, and his kitchen-savvy wife, Mary, prove that a starch-rich diet can actually help us lose weight, prevent a variety of ills, and even cure common diseases.

Everyone is talking about ketogenic diets now, and for good reason - a low-carb, high-fat nutritional approach is a highly effective way to lower blood sugar and insulin levels, reduce inflammation, increase energy, stabilize mood, and so much more. But far too many people are trying to go keto without shifting the focus of their diet to real, whole foods. That’s what Real Food Keto attempts to educate listeners about, explaining the reasons why whole foods are a critical element in optimizing your pursuit of nutritional ketosis.

Dr. Joe Pizzorno is convinced that lifelong good health rests on two key determinants: your exposure to toxins and your ability to process them in your body. While lifestyle, diet, and genetics all play major roles in well-being, many symptoms of declining health and chronic disease are rooted in toxic overload - our exposure to a barrage of chemicals, heavy metals, radiation, electromagnetic frequencies, and pollution that are the byproducts of modern life.

Phyllis Grant's Everything Is Under Control is a memoir about appetite as it comes, goes, and refocuses its object of desire. Grant's story follows the sometimes smooth, sometimes jagged, always revealing contours of her life: from her days as a dancer struggling to find her place at Julliard, to her experiences in and out of four-star kitchens in New York City, to falling in love with her future husband and leaving the city after 9/11 for California, where her children are born.

This is an unusual–and unusually interesting–exploration of diet, weight and health that has a memoir aspect and a practical aspect. It’s a cut-to-the-chase audiobook that makes you realize not that everything you know about dieting and weight loss isn’t true (even though it probably isn’t), but that way too much of your brain, your time and your pocketbook has been taken up with the endless (and futile) quest.

In March 2010, The Scripps Research Institute released a study showing that rats on a junk-food diet had just as difficult a time - if not more so - giving up excess fat and sugar as the rats who were struggling to recover from cocaine dependence. The results showed that certain foods actually alter the brain's chemistry, making our consumption of these foods less like an indulgence and more like an addiction. Dr. Dow, a psychologist who specializes in addictive behavior and eating disorders, here introduces a four-week program for breaking the hold that food has over the body, mind, and spirit.
