Results from the National Research Council's (NRC) landmark study Diet and health are readily accessible to nonscientists in this friendly, easy-to-read guide. Readers will find the heart of the book in the first chapter: the Food and Nutrition Board's nine-point dietary plan to reduce the risk of diet-related chronic illness. The nine points are presented as sensible guidelines that are easy to follow on a daily basis, without complicated measuring or calculatingâ€"and without sacrificing favorite foods. Eat for Life gives practical recommendations on foods to eat and in a "how-to" section provides tips on shopping (how to read food labels), cooking (how to turn a high-fat dish into a low-fat one), and eating out (how to read a menu with nutrition in mind). The volume explains what protein, fiber, cholesterol, and fats are and what foods contain them, and tells readers how to reduce their risk of chronic disease by modifying the types of food they eat. Each chronic disease is clearly defined, with information provided on its prevalence in the United States. Written for everyone concerned about how they can influence their health by what they eat, Eat for Life offers potentially lifesaving information in an understandable and persuasive way.

A Cambridge obesity researcher upends everything we thought we knew about calories and calorie-counting. Calorie information is ubiquitous. On packaged food, restaurant menus, and online recipes we see authoritative numbers that tell us the calorie count of what we're about to consume. And we treat these numbers as gospel—counting, cutting, intermittently consuming and, if you believe some 'experts' out there, magically making them disappear. We all know, and governments advise, that losing weight is just a matter of burning more calories than we consume. But it's actually all wrong. In Why Calories Don't Count, Dr. Giles Yeo, an obesity researcher at Cambridge University, challenges the conventional model and demonstrates that all calories are not created equal. He addresses why popular diets succeed, at least in the short term, and why they ultimately fail, and what your environment has to do with your bodyweight. Once you understand that calories don't count, you can begin to make different decisions about how you choose to eat, learning what you really need to be counting instead. Practical, science-based and full of illuminating anecdotes, this is the most entertaining dietary advice you'll ever read.

It's a fact: the low–carb craze is everywhere. Another fact: two–thirds of Americans are still overweight and no one is getting thinner. Although low–carb diets produce short term weight loss, the results are not sustainable in the long term. Dieticians, fitness experts, and medical publications are slowly awakening to the fact that the low–carb diet isn't the answer to weight loss nor a solution to the obesity epidemic. What is the solution? Jorge Cruise's THE 3–HOUR DIET reveals that timing is the revolutionary weight loss element that has been kept secret until now. By eating small, balanced meals every three hours you reset your body's metabolism and achieve amazing results. Eating every three hours turns off your "starvation protection mechanism" ensuring that fat is released and fat–burning muscle preserved. So get ready to lose 2 pounds each week! All with no calorie counting, no starvation, and no deprivation. Bottom line, timing will sculpt your body slim. With his now trademark easy–to–follow instructions, accessibility, and client success stories, Jorge Cruise's THE 3–HOUR DIET is a fluid combination of proven success and categorical innovation. Weight loss has never been easier!

Calories—too few or too many—are the source of health problems affecting billions of people in today’s globalized world. Although calories are essential to human health and survival, they cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. They are also hard to understand. In Why Calories Count, Marion Nestle and Malden Nesheim explain in clear and accessible language what calories are and how they work, both biologically and politically. As they take readers through the issues that are fundamental to our understanding of diet and food, weight gain, loss, and obesity, Nestle and Nesheim sort through a great deal of the misinformation put forth by food manufacturers and diet program promoters. They elucidate the political stakes and show how federal and corporate policies have come together to create an "eat more" environment. Finally, having armed readers with the necessary information to interpret food labels, evaluate diet claims, and understand evidence as presented in popular media, the authors offer some candid advice: Get organized. Eat less. Eat better. Move more. Get political.

About 150 years ago, the engineers and physicists used the calorie to measure the amount of energy required to heat one kilogram of water one degree Celsius. Trying to determine the energy consumption of the human body, scientists burned in the calorimeter various substances (including food, drinks, and excrements) and measured the difference in water temperature. This is how we ended up with 9 Calories per gram for fat and 4 Calories per gram for protein and carbohydrates. That's why water is the only substance that has "Zero Calories," and this is how the calorie found its niche in nutrition. Yet, have you ever wondered... Why the Calorie is supposed to be capitalized when referring to the energetic value of foods and drinks? Why there are 2,000 Calories per day used for general nutrition advice (and not 1,500, 2,400, 2,700, or any other value)? What the claims found on the food labels actually mean? Which carbs are "good," which ones are "bad," and why we witness a global epidemics of overweight, obesity, and diabetes? What's the difference between saturated and unsaturated (mono- poly-, trans-, and interesterified) fat? Is there such a thing as a perfect diet? Why in the countries that have adopted the Metric System the energy is expressed in kilojoules and not in Calories? How much energy (whether expressed in kilocalories or kilojoules) a person needs a day? This book proposes to find an answer to the above questions (and many others) by connecting the information from various fields of science, including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Thermodynamics.

Reshape your body and mind by eating light during the day and filling up at night—the core tenet of this revolutionary nutrition program based on survival science. Join Ori Hofmekler as he turns to history for a solution to obesity and its attendant ailments—back to the primal habits of early cultures like nomads, hunter-gatherers, the Greeks, and the Romans. Drawing on both survival science and historical data, Hofmekler argues that robust health and a lean, strong body can best be achieved by mimicking the classical warrior mode of cycling—working and eating sparingly (undereating) during the day and filling up at night. A radical yet surprisingly simple lifestyle overhaul, the Warrior Diet Nutritional Program and the Controlling Fatigue Training Program can literally reshape your body! Inside, you’ll learn how to: • Find ideal fuel foods and food combinations to reduce body fat • Gain strength, speed, and resilience to fatigue through special drills • Prepare warrior meals and recipes • Increase sex drive, potency, and animal magnetism • Personalize the diet for your needs Featuring forewords by Fit for Life author Harvey Diamond and Fat That Kills author Dr. Udo Erasmus, The Warrior Diet shows readers weary of fad diets how to attain enduring vigor, explosive strength, a better appearance, and increased vitality and health.
